As with any other component you use to develop your solution, you will need to modify the page layout, adding, removing and configuring field controls, Web Part zones, and Web Parts. Field controls, like Web Parts, can have a number of properties. Field controls that are created from some of the basic column types might not have any properties. Others like the Full HTML Content With Formatting And Constraint For Publishing column type, has nearly 50 properties, as well as its own cascading style sheet. Because a field control is an ASP.NET control, its properties can be configured by using the Tag Properties task pane. Your developer can also create additional field controls.
In this exercise, you will add and delete field controls in a page layout and configure the properties of a field control.
