Articolo

Adds a secondary lookup field that depends on a primary lookup field for its relationship to the list where it gets its information.

Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Available in Sandboxed Solutions: Yes
Available in SharePoint Online

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function AddDependentLookup ( _
    displayName As String, _
    primaryLookupFieldId As Guid _
) As String
'Usage
Dim instance As SPFieldCollection
Dim displayName As String
Dim primaryLookupFieldId As Guid
Dim returnValue As String

returnValue = instance.AddDependentLookup(displayName, _
    primaryLookupFieldId)

public string AddDependentLookup(
    string displayName,
    Guid primaryLookupFieldId
)

Parameters

displayName
Type: System.String

The display name for the secondary lookup field.

primaryLookupFieldId
Type: System.Guid

The value of the Id property of the SPFieldLookup object that represents the primary field.

Return Value

Type: System.String
The field's internal name.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The value passed in the displayName parameter is an empty string or null.
ArgumentNullException	The value passed in the primaryLookupFieldId parameter is Guid.Empty or null.
SPException	The field identified by the value passed in the primaryLookupFieldId parameter does not exist, is not of type SPFieldLookup, or its IsDependentLookup property returns true.

Remarks

In a multiple column lookup, the primary field is the SPFieldLookup object that establishes the relationship with the list that is the source of the lookup field's value. One or more secondary fields can then depend on the primary field for their relationship to the source list. The source list is aware of the primary field; that is, you can discover the primary field by examining the objects in the collection returned by the source list's GetRelatedFields() method. The primary field, in turn, is aware of any fields that depend on it; you can discover dependent fields by calling the primary field's GetDependentLookupInternalNames() method.

To create a multiple-column lookup, begin by creating the primary field by calling the AddLookup(String, Guid, Boolean) method. You can then use the AddDependentLookup method to create one or more secondary fields that depend on the primary field.

Examples

The following example is a console application that gets the collection of fields associated with the Pending Orders list and adds a lookup field named Customer ID that points to the ID field in the Customers list. The code then creates a secondary field that depends on the Customer ID field for its relationship to the Customers list.
