Custom Column Sharepoint 2010 Calendar October 11, 2011

I had created a custom column (SPFieldMultiColumnValue).  Using the Fldtypes for both the xml and the xsl, for standard lists and library’s the display was spot on, but for a calendar display it would show the value of the multicolumn field separated by commas. After much searching and googling, nothing.

To correct this.

public class CustomColumnField : SPFieldMultiColumn
{

public override string GetFieldValueAsText(object value)
{
SPFieldMultiColumnValue mvc = new SPFieldMultiColumnValue(value.ToString());
return mvc[0].ToString();
}

}
