Is there a way to populate a drop down data type from my own sql table (preferably via a stored proc)?

Sure that is possible, take a look at this example: http://codegarden.umbraco.org/blog/2007/5/11/we-just-build-an-ftp-datatype-in-45-minutesAll you need to do is create an own datatype.

OK Cool I worked it out. There doesn't seem to be any documentation on this out there, so if anyone is trying to work it out and is lucky enough to stumble upon this forum post -
First I created a user control that inherits from umbraco.editorControls.userControlGrapper.IUsercontrolDataEditor.
Then I created a new data type in umbraco using the "umbraco usercontrol wrapper" as the "rendercontrol". After clicking "save", a new field is revealed that allows you to choose your user control.

Well it's pretty straigth forward once you see the example, but indeed some documentation would be nice.
