Hi again!

The duplicate control that Naren posted on his blog is a promising way to expose a link to another (exactly one) work item in a nice way. However I would like to have the other work item's title displayed as well.
I guess this could be done in two ways.
1) store the title of the other work item (actually a mother of this work item)
2) read the title of the other work item every time you open this one (performance cost)

However I have some difficulty in getting the title. I had hoped to be able to read it form the WitPicker, but that does not seem to work.

Any ideas or thoughts?

Hi Tomas, you get the reference to WorkItem in your custom control, and you can get the field that stores the duplicate item. I not sure what specific problems you face using the OM to access that workitem.

Actually I could read the title of the other work item every time I open this workitem (no 2) to be sure the field shows correct information even if it was changed.
Otherwise I could read the title once and store it in a field. In that case it would be nice to get it via the WorkItemPicker...
