I created a custom field type that inherits from SPFieldMultiLineText. I can display and update the values without problem. But in the display list items allitems view It displays with those crazy characters like this:
<I> <DIV class=ExternalClass50EF9330DBF94CC78D7EC5B2F947897C> <DIV><A href="http://www.google.com/">google</A> sxs</DIV></DIV></I>
Do u know how I can modify my render pattern in order to get rid of those characters and leave only the link google without the extra tags.
Here is my render pattern:
<RenderPattern Name="DisplayPattern">
<Switch>
<Expr>
<Column />
</Expr>
<Case Value="" />
<Default>
<HTML><![CDATA[ ^ ]]></HTML>
<Column HTMLEncode="TRUE" />
</Default>
</Switch>
</RenderPattern>
Thank you
