'DataBind' A Single Property Of A User Control?
Dec 3, 2010
Before I get to the question, let me give a bit of background. I'm trying to develop a custom caching mechanism that I can apply to custom built user controls. (Please be aware that I know that there are some built in caching mechanism in .NET) Depending on certain flags set declaratively in the mark-up the control should load a cached version of its previously rendered content or execute normally (and if certain flags are set it should generate a cache of its content for next time it loads). I would like to be able to pass certain flags declaratively in the mark-up and being able to check their value at Page Init and, depending on the flag value, determine whether the control should load a cached version or not.
<uc:MyUC ID="N1" runat="server"
CacheProp='<%# SomeEnum.A | SomeEnum.B |SomeEnum.C %>'
PropA='<%# this.SomePropA %>'
PropB='<%# (this.SomePropB %>'
PropC='<%# this.SomePropC %>'
/>
The problem that I'm facing is that as far as I'm aware I can only get the value of the properties declaratively assigned in the mark-up if I called the DataBind(). However I'm faced with two problems: Firstly calling this.DataBind() from within MyUC will trigger the binding of all its child controls which would defeat the purpose of the cache; also all user controls have been built so that they will not call DataBind() before the LoadComplete event has fired, so to make sure that the parent controls they live in has done its initialisation and has computed the properties that are declaratively passed to the child user control (ie PropA, PropB, PropC).And now the question: is there a way to bind the CacheProp property so to retrieve its value without data binding all other properties and without triggering the data binding of all its child controls?

I have a custom user control UserProfileLink on which I have two basic string properties, UID and UserFullName which I would like to use in a template column in a DataGrid like this:
....
<ItemTemplate>
<td:UserProfileLink ID="uplUser" runat="server" UID="<%#Eval("UserUID") %>" UserFullName="<%#Eval("UserFullName") %>" />
</ItemTemplate>
....
I get an error saying "The server tag is not well formed" which leads me to believe this type of binding isn't possible. Is there a way to do this, or is it impossible?

I've got a web site that has a master page and that master page (mpMaster that has a user control ucControl1) which has a sub user control (ucControl2), this user control has a property which accepts a value. Now, I have a page that uses the master page
and on this page I have another user control (ucPageControl), I need to find a way of setting the value in ucControl2 from ucPageControl. Is this possible at all?

I reference a user control in my ListView in this manner:
[Code]....
The problem is that the #Bind command doesn't update the database, but it does so when I paste the code directly into the aspx page (in other words, without the user control involved).

I am trying to bind two values "start_time" and "end_time" to a text property of a label that is inside of a gridview template field. Below is the html. I must keep the values separate so that I can pass them into a function in code beheid in order to calulate the time difference. When I bind the code below I get "The server tag is not well formed." Time is in format HH:MM AM or PM

I would rather not magic string my DataTextField/Values on the dropdownlist after setting up the source as a List collection of objects.
I was thinking I could use the DataSource properties but it doesn't seem to like the couple of ways I tried.
WORKS BUT NOT IDEAL
//set the datasource to the returned List<Cart>
this.cartDdl.DataSource = CartManager.Load(WebProfile.Current.UserName);
//set the DataValueField to the Cart.ID property
this.cartDdl.DataValueField = "ID";//would rather use the obj property Cart.ID
//set the DataTextField to the Cart.Description property
this.cartDdl.DataTextField = "Description";//would rather use the obj property Cart.Description
//Bind the ddl to the datasource
this.cartDdl.DataBind();
HOW I WOULD THINK IT COULD WORK this.cartDdl.DataValueField = ((Cart)this.cartDdl.DataSourceObject).ID; this.cartDdl.DataTextField = ((Cart)this.cartDdl.DataSourceObject).Description;

I have a user control that contains an image of a product along with some product details.
If the product image is landscape, I want to render the control one way, and if the product image is portrait, I want to render the control a second way.
Example HTML Layouts (drastically simplified):
<div><table><tr><td>
<p><strong>XXXXXX</strong></p>
</td></tr><table></div>
versus
<div><table><tr><td>
<p><em>XXXXXX</em></p>
</td></tr><table></div>
Right now, both layouts are rendered. How can I conditionally render one layout and not the other?

i built a user control and i want to make one of its properties as a must, that's mean if you not supply this control when you create the control the project won't be compile, just like if you omit the runat="server" property.

I have a user control with a WebDateTimeEdit server control on it (essentially a TextBox). I'd like to be able to set some of the server control's properties by way of the user control's markup or programatically. for example I have this defined on my user control:
[code]....
this blows up because WebDateTimeEdit1 is null.
is there any way I can make this happen? also can do I do this
myControl2 .Font.Size = FontUnit.Point(8);
where the Font property is read only on the server control?

I have a control that I want to be able to mark areas as editable. When a user enters a username and password, they can then edit these editable areas.One of the area to edit is the main content of the page. Since I want them to be able to edit this on every page, I have put the editable control into the master page, wrapped around the ContentPlaceHolder of the master page.I found out how to allow the parser to allow <prefix:tag></prefix:tag> rather than just ending it with />, but I can't figure out how to get the text within the tags to be accessible through something like a Text property. A prime example of this behavior is the Label control, where you can put <asp:Label>Hello!</asp:Label> and access Hello! through the .Text property in the code.

I have a very simple user control with 5 radio buttons on it, and 3 properties (ID, RatingSetID, and Rating). On the initial load of the page they are on, the code acquires data and places the data into the 3 properties. However, when the submit button is clicked the page reloads and the 3 properties get reset to 0, they are in the !IsPostBack as well.

I have a web user control (ascx) that exposes an "ID" property. What I want to do is set this property when the SelectedIndexChanged event fires in a gridview in the containing page. However, I can't seem to do it.... Here's my code:
protected void grdPhysicians_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
physicians_certif1.mdID = grdPhysicians.SelectedDataKey.ToString();
mvData.SetActiveView(viewEdit);
panAdditional.Visible = true;
}
Physicians_certif1 is the user control. It seems the user control is loading before the SelectedIndexChanged event has a chance to set it's property.

I have a user control with a panel on it:
CustomControl.ascx
<%@ Control Language="vb" CodeBehind="CustomControl.ascx.vb" %>
<asp:Panel ID="myPanel" runat="server"></asp:Panel>
I'd lke to expose that panel as a property that I can use at design time.
CustomControl.ascx.vb
<ParseChildren(True), PersistChildren(False)> _
Partial Public Class CustomControl
Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
#Region "Members and Properties"
<PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)> _
Public Property SomePanel() As Panel
Get
Return myPanel
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Panel)
myPanel= value
End Set
End Property
#End Region
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Response.Write(myPanel.HasControls.ToString())
End Sub
End Class
And then bring the control onto a page like so:
<ucl:CustomControl runat="server">
<SomePanel>
<asp:Label ID="lblText" AssociatedControlID="txtBox" runat="server"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox id="txtBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</SomePanel>
</ucl:CustomControl>
When I run the page, HasControls is true but nothing is rendered. What am I doing wrong?

I designed a user control. It contains a public property "CurrentValue". When I try to initialize the property using an Eval expression, a null value is assigned.
// In below code, label assignment is OK, RatingNull user control assignment get null
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Difficulty") %>'
<uc1:RatingNull ID="RatingNull1" runat="server" CurrentValue='<%# Eval("Difficulty") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
If I directly assigned a value (ie, CurrentValue="5"), user control works fine.
public partial class RatingNull : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
private string _CurrentValue;
public string CurrentValue
{
get { return _CurrentValue; }
set { _CurrentValue = value; }
}

I am having a very hard time in consuming a very simple web user control that I have built using a Web Application project in VS 2010. The user control works fine as long as the consuming aspx page is in the same project. But after deploying the project using Web Deployment Project into a single assembly I am not able to use it correctly from another aspx page which is in a stand-alone project. The error I see is a null reference exception. Here are the steps that I am following:
1 Create a web user control named WebUserControl_Label using a web application project. This control works fine when used in an webform in the same project.
This is the ASCX of my user control :
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebUserControl_Label.ascx.cs" Inherits="TestWebAppWithCustomControl.WebUserControl_Label" ClassName="TestWebAppWithCustomControl.Controls" %>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" ></asp:Label>
This is the code behind:
namespace TestWebAppWithCustomControl
{
public partial class WebUserControl_Label : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
private string _labelText;
public string LabelText
{
set
{
Label1.Text = value;
}
get
{
return Label1.Text;
}
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
2. Create a single assembly for the user control above using a Web Deployment project. The name of the assemby is TestWebAppWithCustomControl.
3. Create a webform in another web application project to use WebUserControl_Label user control. This project has TestWebAppWithCustomControl.dll added as a referemce.
This is how I am using the custom control above in an aspx page:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="ConsumeTestWebAppUserControl._Default" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="TestWebAppWithCustomControl" Namespace="TestWebAppWithCustomControl" TagPrefix="GBS" %>
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<GBS:WebUserControl_Label Id="label1" runat="server" LabelText="This is custom label" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The problem is that .NET throws a Null Reference Exception when its trying to set the label text via the LabelText property. It looks like that the label control that lives inside the WebUserControl_Label user control is not getting instantiated and is always null.
I have found a few articles online that talk about creating such distributable user controls using ASP.NET website projects. But if possible I would like to stick with the web application project because of the benefits it brings.
