I am unable to access #1 parent page class from control
there is a sample code for creating a custom textbox control with built in validation posted here Building ASP.NET TextBox with Integrated Validation And Switchable Input Modes. Inside the code there is a call to Controls.Add(validator) which adds the asp.net validator control to the textbox. when the textbox is used on the page, the validator is rendered to the page although the validator is added to the textbox and not to the page!
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to access a parent class from within an attribute.
For example I would like to create a DropDownListAttribute which can be applied to a property of a viewmodel class in MVC and then create a drop down list from an editor template. I am following a similar line as Kazi Manzur Rashid here.
He adds the collection of categories into viewdata and retrieves them using the key supplied to the attribute.
I would like to do something like the below,
public ExampleDropDownViewModel {
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Categories {get;set;}
[DropDownList("Categories")]
public int CategoryID { get;set; }
}
The attribute takes the name of the property containing the collection to bind to. I can't figure out how to access a property on the parent class of the attribute. Does anyone know how to do this?
I'm building an n-tier application, with the web client and the class library separate. I'm also using the factory pattern of development, using interfaces to act as containers for different objects they are associated with. The problem I'm expreriencing is that I declared a public interface class in the class library and I can create an instance of it in in my aspx pages but whenever I declare it in my custom control code-side, i get an error, like so:
Error 20 The type or namespace name 'IContentMaker' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
notge that I have inherited the class library namespace using the 'using' keyword just in case you are wondering. My code is like so:
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using TQO_Classes ; //importing the class library project
public partial class PageContentMgr : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
private IContentMaker _data; //this line throws the error, it works fine on aspx pages
I have a class UserControlBase that inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl and my user controls inherit UserControlBase class. UserControlBase has some common functions that are used in all user controls.
I want to put error display funtion to UserControlBase as well so that I may not have to declare and manage it in all user controls. Error will be displayed in some label in usercontrol. Issue is how to access label which is in usercontrol in UserControlBase in function ?
I have a PlannerShiftView user control in the root folder of my ASP.NET web site. In my App_Code folder, I have a ShiftViewTemplate class that needs to instantiate a PlannerShiftView (for a TemplateField in a GridView). The problem is, the following code doesn't compile because the PlannerShiftView type is not available in what I deem to be the App_Code 'phantom namespace'.
Please can somebody explain to be what is happening here, as well as what to do. I know I can just move the ShiftViewTemplate out of App_Code, going against convention and without explantion, but that is something of a hollow victory.
I have a parent control that has an instance of a HiddenField child control. I am using CreateChildControls() to add it. Everything works client side including the values being added to the field. However, on postback, the reference to the field is null

I have tried simply relying on the ViewState ... then also attempted using FindControl(). Neither works, it comes up as a null reference ... any input on what is going here?
I am creating custom server control. I have two classes in project. One is main class that render control and another will be used to render content based on condition.I just want to know how to render content from other classes in main class.For example. This isjust an example.My main class code
[Code]....
My TopLeftPane class
[Code]....
My page code on page load event
[Code]....
When I run the page, Header title always getting null. This is a just sample code. I will have more than 20 classes so I dont want to write a code in main class to render whole control.I hope all of you understand my problem.
created a Custom Textbox Control that is intended to be a "masked date" textbox, so that I can handle different ways a user might enter in a date and make it work no matter what.I did this by creating a custom control with 3 separate Textboxes one for month,one for day one for year,then do some handling for different things that could be entered and it would all work.
The problem I am having is,when I add this control to the page,if I do an alert to check the Text value of the custom control it just gives me "[ServerControl1]" even if I enter in a date.
I tried doing an AutoPostback after entering so that it would refesh the Viewstate to have the values of the textboxes but the control doesnt seem to actually postback, even though I have it enabled.accessing the Textbox value after someoen
has entered a date?first custom control I have created and have been using google.
My Server Control Code is as follows:

I have a class (name PageBase) that is inhariting System .Web.UI .Page and all my .aspx page behind classes are inhariting this class. This way I have put some common things in PageBase class.
For showing errors I want to put showMessage funtion in PageBase as well so that I may have not put it in every page and it will easy to manage this way.
Probem is that how PageBase class will access a control which is in aspx page in its child class (child class of PageBase) .
I dont want to pass control as argument to function in parent class, is ther any other way ?
I am going to have multiple "types" of an object and I am really not sure how best to retrieve/save those multiple types without having a separate save/retrieve for each type.
My classes:

I hope this makes sense. I'd rather not add a "type" column as I have this in another part of my database and I am not really liking it too much
UPDATE
Here's more info/questions for clarification, if necessary.
I'm really at a loss for how to incorporate them into my repository pattern.
When I call getEvaluation, I want it to return an abstract Evaluation, but I'm struggling with this code. Same with Saving - any insight on this would be excellent
UPDATE 2
Database:
Evaluations
Id (PK)
Comment
EvaluationType1
Id (FK to Evaluations.Id)
Field
EvaluationType1
Id (FK to Evaluations.Id)
Field
So, in getEvaluation(int id), I need to figure out what type of Evaluation they want. Does this mean I should pass in a type? Same is true in saveEvaluation, But I can do a switch/function map to see what Type it is.
I've created a new class in App_Code
namespace Site {
public class MyClass {
public MyClass() {
}
}

this is my Global.asax.cs

The error is in: MyClass myClass = new MyClass();
The type or namespace name 'MyClass' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I want to write own control which can contain other. And I want to define content of the control in the .aspx file where the control is defined. I have written such control. But now I have issue with ViewState of inner controls of my control. The following samle illustrates the issue: I defined two asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1" and ID="ddl2" One of them is inside of my control and other is outside. When posback is occurred asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1 loses state and becomes empty. How to say ASP.net to store state of inner controls defined by this way?
MyControl.ascx:
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="MyControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="DynamicControls.Controls.MyControl" %>
<div class="box"> [code]....
i have created a class with a sub, which removes a control from the original page...
for example, in the original page:
Code:
dim usertextbox as new textbox
usertextbox.id = "TEXTBOXIE"
form1.controls.add(usertextbox)
in the class:
Code:
public sub DeleteTextBox
dim pagetextbox as textbox
pagetextbox = page.findcontrol("TEXTBOXIE")
if not pagetextbox is nothing then
page.controls.remove(pagetextbox)
end if
end sub
the code in the class doesn't work..
In my default.aspx page I have a PlaceHolder control within an UpdatePanel. In this placeholder control I will dynamically load a web user control, which is just a form with a submit button. On this user control, I have the form within an update panel and I have the "Submit" button's Click Event added to the triggers.
When I submit the form, the UpdatePanel on the web user control nor the update panel on the default.aspx page are capturing the post back, thus causing a full post back which refreshes my page.
how to capture this post so its rendered in Ajax and not a full post back?
I have created one user control for changing the theme of the page where i have several buttons and on click of each button i am applying the theme of clicked buttons color and for that i have created several css files like red.css, blue.css , green.css etc.
now i want to apply this theme to the page but i am not able to do that from the user control as because i am not getting the stylesheet property in the page and thus i am not able to work further.
can anyone tell me how can i apply the theming from user control to the page its being called.?
What I would like to have is a mapping between a custom file extension to a class that is not System.Web.UI.Page but a class of mine that inherits from System.Web.UI.Page.
i.e.:
*.aspx -> System.Web.UI.Page
*.my -> My.Package.MyClass (inherits from System.Web.UI.Page)
I know I can map any extension to be treated like .aspx but I can't find the way to do what I have in mind.
I have a webform named Default.aspx and in it an iFrame...
The iFrame will load one of a few different pages/forms/aspx... (for this example lets just say its test.aspx)
On test.aspx I have 2 buttons Button1 and Button2 If I have code in my test.aspx.vb for Button1 click of:
button2.text = "hello world"
it looks as if it reloads test.aspx inside the iFrame and sure enough Button2 states "hello world"
So now lets say on the Default.aspx I also have a button and its named Button5.
How would I go about updating the Button5.Text from with in the vb code of Button1 click/vb code located on Test.aspx
I have looked over some other post [URL] and the tell of using "PreviousPage" but that not seam to be what I need, I want to be able to state the page/form I want to effect a control on it...
I know how to do this in jut standard VB.net (not web) its like:
FromName.ControleName.Text = "Hello World" but then again in VB.net windows apps you dont have Iframse to deal with...
i would like to ask about how can i open user control page when i click a button on parent page, also, can i call parent's method from user control page and then refresh parent page?
View 8 RepliesMy content page looks like this:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Basket.aspx.cs" Inherits="Basket" Title="Untitled Page" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
Now, I would like to add some controls dynamically to the content when page loads, so I am trying the following code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Content2. // I want to add controls to it dynamically
}
The problem is that the Content2 control is not visible by the compiler and I am getting error about missing directive or assembly reference.
In order to use a third party API, I had to create a page that does not have form runat="server" in it. Because my app is using MasterPages and have a consistent look and feel throughout the application, though not too thrilled w/ the solution, I had to use iframe to embed this page into my app.It works fine but here's what I want to do. When the API call succeeds, I display a message and want to also place a hyperlink to send the user back to their home page. I think you see what I'm getting at by now. If I do this and the user clicks the link, it's all happening within the iframe.How do I send the user back to his home page and affect the whole page and not just the iframe page?
View 3 RepliesI want to create a custom control where I define several specifically named DIV sections. The code-behind logic of the custom control will perform operations on these named DIV sections. The page where the custom control is hosted needs to be able to add named controls to the DIV sections and perform operations on these named controls added to the DIV sections.
Let me explain a little further. In the custom control, I want to have code behind logic that fires the following Page Event and uses a condition to make one or another specifically named DIV section visible or not:
< _
ToolboxData("<{0}:BaseDetails runat=""server""></{0}:BaseDetails>") _
> _
Public Class BaseDetails
[code]...
how can I create a custom control which is able to generate the named DIV sections "DetailsNameDiv1" and "DetailsNameDiv2" where my custom control can check a condition and make one or the other visible. Also, I need to be able to add controls to these named DIV sections when I host the custom control and the control that I add to the named DIV section needs to let me set values of these controls from the code behind logic of the page (or usercontrol) where the custom control is being hosted (in my example, I am adding TextBox controls that I want to set the Text property from a SQL Data Reader).
I have a hidden field on my default.aspx page. Within default.aspx page I have a user control which has a label on it. I need the label to display the value on the hidden field. How can I go about this?
View 1 RepliesIf for example my userControl has a CheckBox called IsGreatCoder and the userControl is embedded in a main page (parent page).
I normally have gained access to the IsGreatCoder.Checked value in the main-page by exposing it through a public property that I have to manually write (say "IsAGreatCoder").
If UserControl is included in the main page as "userControl1", then I would access it as "userControl1.IsAGreatCoder".
But, I was wondering if there was anyway to declare the UserControl such that all the UI controls added to it were declared as being public, that way allowing me to gain access to the actual controls in the main page (the parent).
Essentially I would like to be able do something like userControl1.IsGreatCoder.Checked instead of having to implement a property.
The reason I want to do this is that I want to have access to many more of the check-box's properties and it would be a pain to implement each one as a public property.
I am creating an ASP.NET website in Visual Studio 2010 (.NET 4.0) in C#.
I have a user control applicant_information.ascx which contains text boxes.
The page application.aspx contains this user control:
<%@ Register src="controls/applicant_information.ascx" tagname="applicant" tagprefix="uc1" %>
<uc1:applicant ID="applicant1" runat="server" />
The application.aspx page contains a multiview, and the applicant1 user control is in one of the views. The button continue takes the visitor to the next view which contains another user control of text boxes.
I want to write validation code on the continue_Click event which is in the application.aspx.cs page. Ideally, from the application.aspx.cs code behind page, I want to get the user input from a text box in applicant1.
Intellicense cannot seem to find any of the text boxes in applicant1 from application.aspx.cs.
