Umbraco New Data Type using User Control Wrapper and store as a class object

I have been reviewing article Usercontrol Wrapper and storing parseable XML data, and was interested to check out how a class object can be stored and retrieved.

I created this dummy class that will get populated using User Control Wrapper.

public class DDValues

    {

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public int ID { get; set; }

        public DDValues() { }

        public DDValues(string name, int id)

        {

            Name = name;

            ID = id;

        }

        //Other properties, methods, events...

    }

Here is an example on how to set it up.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.datatype;

using System.Data;

using umbraco.editorControls.userControlGrapper;

namespace MobileSite_Controls.usercontrols

{

    public partial class DropdownByTypeReturnClass : System.Web.UI.UserControl, umbraco.editorControls.userControlGrapper.IUsercontrolDataEditor

    {

        [DataEditorSetting("Type ID")]

        public string typeid { get; set; }

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            if (!Page.IsPostBack)

            {

                string connection = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["umbracoDbDSN"].ToString();

                ddcontrol.DataSource = Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlHelper.ExecuteReader(connection, CommandType.Text, "SELECT id, Name FROM tblcustomDropdownValues where TypeID=" + (string.IsNullOrEmpty(typeid) ? "0" : typeid));

                ddcontrol.DataTextField = "Name";

                ddcontrol.DataValueField = "Name";

                ddcontrol.DataBind();

                ddcontrol.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem(string.Empty, string.Empty));

                ddcontrol.SelectedIndex = 0;

                if (_umbval!=null) { ddcontrol.SelectedValue = _umbval.Name; }

            }

        }

        private DDValues _umbval;

        public object value

        {

            get {

                    return SerializationHelper.ValueToXmlString(new DDValues("Boston", 1));

                }

            set {

                if (value != null && string.IsNullOrEmpty(value.ToString()))

                {

                    _umbval = new DDValues("", 0);

                }

                else

                {

                    try

                    {

                        _umbval = (DDValues)SerializationHelper.ValueFromXmlString(value, typeof(DDValues));

                    }

                    catch

                    {

                        _umbval = new DDValues("", 0);

                    }

                }

            }

        }

    }

    public class DDValues

    {

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public int ID { get; set; }

        public DDValues() { }

        public DDValues(string name, int id)

        {

            Name = name;

            ID = id;

        }

        //Other properties, methods, events...

    }

}

Now, above Data Type can be assigned to the new Document Type with an alias. Example alias can be StateDD

To output on the front-end using Razor script

<umbraco:Macro runat="server" language="cshtml">

@Model.StateDD.ID
@Model.StateDD.Name

</umbraco:Macro>
