The question of the day comes from Jacek in California regarding changing views within a web part: “I have mostly got the behavior (I want) but I am puzzled how to modify <Current View> to display additional columns I added to Blog.” Yeah, that’s a weird name on that one. It threw me when I first started working with SharePoint.

When you are in a web part that allows the changing of views, under Selected View the “Current View” is always listed. Where is that view located?  The Current View is the one that is currently showing. If you had another view setup on the list you are pointing to, say “Budgets Only” view, when you selected the Budgets Only view, that would become the “Current View”. So, there is no such view as Current View…

Youch… that’s confusing.
