FromBaseType Property

  • Article

The FromBaseType property of the SPField class gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the field derives from a base field type.

Property Value

true if the field derives from a base field type; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The base field types are defined in FLDTYPES.XML, which defines the default schema for lists. Every built-in list in a site inherits its schema from a base type.

If this property contains true, the field cannot be converted to another field type.
