SPFieldLookup.IsDependentLookup Property

Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the field is a secondary lookup field that depends on a primary field for its relationship with the lookup list.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property IsDependentLookup As Boolean
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As SPFieldLookup
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.IsDependentLookup
public bool IsDependentLookup { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the lookup field is a dependent lookup field; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When this property returns true, the current SPFieldLookup object represents a secondary column in a multiple column lookup. In this case, the object's PrimaryFieldId property has a value that is the string representation of a GUID that identifies the object that represents the primary column on which the secondary column depends for its relationship to the lookup list.

Examples

The following example is a console application that examines the collection of fields associated with a list, looking for SPFieldLookup objects. When it finds one, code in the application determines whether the object represents a primary or secondary column. If the object represents a secondary column, the code uses the value returned by the PrimaryFieldId property to get the display name of the primary column.
