.NET Dynamically Get Control By Name?

Aug 18, 2010

I need to create a .NET control (in ASP.NET) from a string that represents the control's name.

Control myList = SomeSystemClass.GetControlByName("DropDownList");

I guess there is some reflection method in the .NET platform that allows this but I have no idea which one.

C# - Selecting And Building A Control From A Control Library Dynamically, Using The Control Name From A Table?

Feb 1, 2010

I have a custom DDL that lives in my Server control library. Currently I add this control to a table by strongly typing the name of the control, the customary way.

Control_Library.Report_NumberDDL newDDL = new Control_Library.Report_NumberDDL();


What I want to be able to do is dynamically create that control by pulling the control name from a table. So I would have the name of the control in my code, in this case "Report_NumberDDL", and I would like to then create the control without having to strongly type it.

Something like this, though I know this doesn't work:

string controlName = "Report_NumberDDL";

Control_Library."controlName" controlNum1 = new Control_Library."controlName"();

Edit:I tried to do this:

Type type = Type.GetType("Control_Library.Report_NumberDDL");
object control = Activator.CreateInstance(type);

But on the CreateInstance(type) I get a null value exception. So the Type isn't getting created correctly.

Generating Control Markup Based On A Dynamically Generated Control?

Dec 9, 2010

What I'm trying to do is take an instance of a control, and figure out what the markup would look like based on the property values set in the code behind. We've built a web-based web form designer. At the end of the design process we save the markup. For simple controls with supported types, generating the markup was easy. For complex controls with nested properties or unsupported types, we're faced with creating a custom markup generator for each custom control. I was hoping to find info out there that would jump start this development effort.

In simple terms, I have this:

Dim Ctl as Control = CType(Asm.CreateInstance("MyNameSpace.MyControl"), Control)
Ctl.Name = "Name of my control"

And I want to end up with this:

<cc1:MyControl ID="MyControl1" runat="server" Name="Name of my control" />

C# - Viewstate With Dynamically Loaded Control

Feb 16, 2011

I am having issues with my dynamically loaded control's events.Here is how I am loading the control:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LoadSubPageEditTemplate();
}
protected void LoadSubPageEditTemplate()
{
pnlPageTemplate.Controls.Clear();
BaseOfferAdmin adminControl = (BaseOfferAdmin)this.LoadControl("~/Controls/SingleOfferAdmin.ascx");
if (adminControl != null)
{
adminControl.ID = "Control_ID"
pnlPageTemplate.Controls.Add(adminControl);
}
}
}

The LoadSubPageEditTemplate() is also fired from a button event on the page, since I have to update it after the button event has executed.

The control loads perfectly, I have tested it with a basic button and the postback fires as expected. However, I am getting weird results with CheckBoxes.

<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="cbOptionalAction" Text="CheckBox" AutoPostBack="true" OnCheckedChanged="cbOptionalAction_CheckChanged" />

The CheckedChanged event only fires when the Checkbox is checked, which I guess means there is some issue with my control viewstate. If I have multiple checkboxes on the page, and one creates a postback, the checkchanged event is fired for each checkbox that is checked.

Dynamic - How To Dynamically Construct A Control Name

Mar 2, 2011

I am iterating through an array:

Dim dbConfig As New pbu_housingEntities
Dim possible() As String = {"FROD", "FRCD", "SOOD", "SOCD", "JROD", "JRCD", "SROD", "SRCD", "SR5OD", "SR5CD"}
For Each value As String In possible
Dim current_value = value
Dim exists = From p In dbConfig.Configs _
Where p.Description = current_value
Select p
If exists.Count.Equals(0) Then
Dim create As New Config
create.Description = current_value
dbConfig.Configs.AddObject(create)
dbConfig.SaveChanges()
Else
Dim update_query = (From p In dbConfig.Configs _
Where p.Description = current_value _
Select p)
update_query.First.Description = current_value
update_query.First.dateValue =
End If
Next

Towards the end of the array you can see update_query.First.dateValue =, I'd like to do something like this: update_query.First.dateValue = "txt" + current_value + ".Text" But I don't want it to return the literal txtcurrent_value.Text, but rather to return the text value of txtcurrent_value.Text. This is easy to do, if you know each control name - but in this case I'm iterating, otherwise I could do:

update_query.First.dateValue = txtNameofControl.Text

C# - Set A Control ID In ListView Template Dynamically?

Mar 17, 2010

A have a ListView that is rendered with multiple items. Now I want to toggle some HTML attributes with JQuery. Therefore it would be best to have access to these elements via an unique ID.

But trying to create a "dynamic" and therefore unique ID by

<tr runat="server" ID='<%# this.GetUniqueID() %>'>
</tr>

results in an error that tells me that the ID needs to be simple and cannot be set by a call to a method.

I know that I can dynamically create controls in the code-behind and set the ID there. But in this case, I'd rather like to let the content be rendered by the ListView itself.

That brings me to the conclusion that the idea of setting a dynically ID in the Template is totally wrong. How can I achieve the desired behaviour?

Edit: Ok I just found out, that I can set the ID with a BindingExpression, like

ID='<%# Eval("MyColumnWithUniqueID") %>'

Still, is there another, or even better solution to this?
