Hi sajith, Don't exactly understand what you're after. Could you give some more background info? If you just want to create a dropdown with prevalues, just create a new datatype: - Choose an appropriate name, choose 'Dropdown list' as render control, and hit the 'Save' icon - After saving, you can set the database type and add some prevalues.

Hi Dirk,
I'm trying to create a file uploader which converts .mpeg or .wmv files to .flv files and upload in some location.
While creating a datatype do we need to upload the details (about the file uploaded using the datatype) to database. i mean when using that datatype to upload a file in a node... or Will umbraco take care of that ??
Sajith.

Hi sajith, All depends on your own imagination. How do you want to store all files (I guess in the media section, right?). As a new media type? Or existing media type (File for example) Based on the info you'd wish to save, you'd go for the existing media type or create a custome one (you decide what properties will/won't be saved then). You'll still need to code the logic for uploading/creating the new media and adding it to the media section. Hope that helps. Regards, /Dirk
