Order Number in Sharepoint. Integer?

I add a list column that should be used as a order column programaticly. As a field type I would use SPFieldType.Integer.

Now I just wonder why this field type cannot be chosen from the user. Are there any good reasons, why Number can be selected, but Integer cannot from within the lists properties?

Solution

  • Not really sure what you mean but a common misstake in SharePoint development is made by handling number fields as integers when they actually are Double values.
