Best Mechanism To Have Rich Form Controls On Web Page (HTML) Equivalent To Windows Forms?
Mar 4, 2010
I am working towards porting a windows application to web. The windows application is quite rich w.r.t. the form controls, complex validations and user interactivity.Basic web forms are inadequate to meet these complexities. So I would like to know the best way to still have the richness on the web pages. I have some ideas and would like comments.
Use DHTML & Java Script to mimic complex controls. There are some macro controls available as part of jQueryUI that can be used and some other third party Java Script controls. I'd like suggestions if there is a recommended control library.Use RIA (preferably Silverlight) wherever rich controls are needed. I'd like to keep this as a last option because it mandates the Silverlight plug-in.What are other popular / preferred strategies?
My Windows Form Control is working fine when hosted on Windows Form.It is also working fine on .html host if I use only a TextBox and a Button in that control. But when I add a third control i.e. WebBrowser Windows Form control then .html page is not displaying the control at all.Later I remove the WebBrowser Windows Form control to go to previous state and even then .html page is not displaying the control as it was displaying a TextBox and a Button control before.I delete browser history but no use. I am using the following line in my html page.
I am having an issue with the "Contact us form with rich textbox on asp.net c#". It works good on my local machine but timesout when it is on the server. What to do?
I am making an Asp.Net application which does the following on the client computer: Establish a Connection. Check client's cpu usage to see if it is idle or not.If the client is idle it starts executing a c application.While executing the script if client starts doing something (also checked by monitoring his cpu usage) stop signal is sent. Start signal is again sent to the client if he is back to his idle position. If the client is Ubuntu, I use ssh and execute what I want to.What is the way of doing this in Windows without the root access?
I am trying to display a local .html file in a web page. The file uses javascript to display some information about my phone. In the executable, I am retrieving two values out of the registry. I would like to pass these values in a query string (I think that is the correct terminology). Something like file://\Program Files\TestTest.html?type=newtype. I have attempted this with using webbrowser.navigate, but that is giving an unhandled exception when it tries to pass the URI string. Obviously, I have no experience with this and am using the wrong method. There has to be a simple way to open a new webpage in a form and pass it this type of string.
how to implement such a function? I have been attempting to implement this with Visual C# using the .net CF for Windows Mobile.
While going through MSDN I found that in button properties useSubmitBeheviour there is written that if useSubmitBeheviour is true then it cause the Button control to use the browser's submit mechanism and false then the ASP.NET page framework adds client-side script to the page to post the form to the server.
Button.UseSubmitBehavior property is used to gets or sets a value indicating whether the Button control uses the client browser's submit mechanism or the ASP.NET postback mechanism.
So, What is the difference between client browser's submit mechanism and the ASP.NET postback mechanism?
the possible options to get the dynamic web pages. Existing application: We have windows application to desing the "Screen designer templates". The end user uses this application to make his own screen templates, save the information in xml and get the screen in run time. This works fine for windows based application. Current Problem: Its difficult to provide such screen designer application in web. I mean Drag & drop the controls in web page during the run time. So we are planning to use windows application to design the template. And during the run time user should get his own designed template on web page. We are trying to display the similar web form like as windows form with matching controls. let me know what are the options available to solve this problem.

If I have a large amount of fields/data on the Form, what's the strategy to organize or break them down within Form? or There is other approach to develop rich experience form submission.
When the users presses submit, I get the below error and for the life of me cannot figure out why! I have tried GET as well, byt that just seems to post to itself and just puts the form vairables in the URL rather than going to formprocess.aspx.page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access.Please try the following:Contact the Web site administrator if you believe that this request should be allowed.Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.HTTP Error 405 - The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.Internet Information Services (IIS)
I need to develop web application. In my application  i have transaction form. Like sales invoice contains 2 tables,header table and detail table. In my web form i should have gridview, in that gridview user should enter data's and save it to the detail table.
I have a results set of 3 columns and aproximately 40 records. Instead of a Gridview with paging enabled or a GridView to where you need to scroll down the page to view all the data, I'd like to have two tables side by side.Is there and easy way to acomplish this?
I have the web page [URL] written in html. I have also created a form on this web page, but I do not have any idea how to create the aspx page to capture and email to me (via my mailserver), the data the user enters and submits through the form
I need to create a generic action page that accepts post data from an html form. The server is running asp.net 2 on windows 2003 iis6.

I developed a basic web page in MVC 2 for learning the framework, and I am stuck in this situation:
I have 3 classes: Client - Product - New. And for all need to display a modal popup to create/edit action. For display the modal i used JQuery and jqModal plug-in.
I created the controllers for all objects, the views for Index action, and Delete action. For the Create/Edit Action I created a partial view named ModalBox. Inside this partial view, I have an Ajax.BeginForm, and it calls another partial, that represent the form of the objects.
This works very fine, ... for the project object! in FireFox 3.6, for others object's the form tag is missing...
I have an aspx page with detailsview whose datasource is an objectdatasource. I have a dropdownbox, showing categories, which act as a filter. If the user selects a different value in the dropdown box, the data obtained through the objectdatasource will be changed, and the new set of data will be displayed on the detailsview. This dropdownbox, is being used as the ControlParameter in the objectdatasource, so whenever a new item is selected the detialsview is updated accordingly. Now I want to add another filter in the form of a textbox, when the user could type in the title and hit a button, which should get a filtered set of data from the database.
