Hi,
I’ve created one list with list definition from content type using by VS2010. Now I want to change the column type from ‘integer’ to ‘Numeric’,but the list contains the records.How can I modify the column type without deleting the records from the list, if any ideas reply me.
Thanks,
Manju

- On the top link bar, click Documents and Lists.
- On the Documents and Lists page, click the list, document library, or discussion board in which you want to edit a column.
- On the page that displays the list, document library, or discussion board, click Modify settings and columns.
- In the Columns section, under Column (click to edit), click the name of the column you want to change.
- In the Name section, in the Column name box, you can change the column name.
- Click the appropriate option button to change the type of information this column contains.
 NOTE   Some types of data cannot be converted when you change a column type. For example, if you change a column with multiple lines of text into a number column, the existing text data is lost.
- In the Optional Settings for Column section, you can change the settings.
- At the bottom of the page, click OK.
NOTE THAT ABOVE IS FEASIBLE PROGRAMATICALLY, WHICH INVOLVES A COLUMN UPDATE.
