3 Stage Multiview With Dynamically Generated Controls?

Jun 22, 2010

Let's say I have a booking form which is divided into 3 separate views in a multi view.

View 1: "How many people do you want to book for?" And then just a text box

View 2: "Please enter the details for each of the people" And then a series of dynamically generated text boxes - the number of boxes is determined by the value in the textbox in view 1 (e.g. if the users enters "3" into the text box, there will be 3 series of text boxes like "Details of person 1: First Name <textbox> Last Name <textbox>, Details of person 2: First Name<textbox etc..."

View 3: "Please review and confirm the details are correct:" Displays data entered in view 2.

Here's the difficult part - In order to generate the controls in view 2, I need to know the value of the text box in view 1. This value isn't available during Page_Init as viewstate has not yet been written. But - need to build the controls during Page_Innit. So - I thought why not try to grab the value of the textbox using Request.Form[Texbox1.ClientID]; - this is fine when moving from view1 to view2 but remember - I need to recreate these controls again if the user moves back to view1 or forward to view3 (it is a requirement that the user can move backwards and forwards between the views).

So - User enters value in Textbox in View1, hits the "Next button", we request that value using Request.Form and generate a series of controls dynamically. Then the user clicks "Next" again and moves to view 3 where we would like to show a summary of what they entered. But - we cant because those controls dont exist as we could not create them because the value of textbox1 is not available during Page_Init and we can't use Request.Form as the textbox isn't now part of request.form because we came from view2, not view1.

I can't figure out how to dynamically create these controls and then recreate them during page_innit on each postback so we retain any values the user might have entered.

Web Forms :: Referencing Dynamically Generated Controls?

Jul 9, 2010

I'm displaying a table based on query results, and each record has a dynamically generated dropdownlist and submit button (and other controls, but this is simplified). That part works fine, but how do I reference the controls in a function? Here is the code I've tried. Create the controls:

[Code]....

Reference the control values (hopefully):

[Code]....

The function SubmitAction_Click fires when I click the Post button, so that part works. I just can't figure out how to reference the selected value of the dropdownlist. You can see that I'm explicitly giving the DDL a unique ID (DS_RecordID). I'm guessing I have to use FindControl to reference it, but I don't know how to format the code.

Web Forms :: Create Control Dynamically In MultiView?

Mar 9, 2010

I tried to create controls in side MultiView dynamically. The testing code is attached. My question is why the dynamic control is not shown in view2 and it disapears from view1 when <Previouse> button is clicked, even though enableviewstate is set to true?

If the dynamic control is created outside IsPostBack, they are always there. But should we do it this way?

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Test._Default" %>

MVC :: Change Attributed Value In Java Script In Dynamically Generated Controls?

Oct 12, 2010

i use the below code to dynamically generate two dropdowns and a text box in my MVC project.countValidate is used to concatenate and produce controls with postfix 1 ,2,3 etc.now i need to access the Criteria? series dropdown and check their values and according to the values received on changing the Criteria dropdown the value textbox must be disabled or enabled, in javascript.

<% countValidate = 1;
%> <% foreach (var item in Model.ContactSearchCriteria)
{ %>[code]...

I use this function in java script to disable normal controls. can anyone help me

$('#Criteria1').change(function() {
if ($('#Criteria1').val() == '21' || $('#Criteria1').val() == '22') {
$('#Value1').attr("disabled", true);[code]....

this is for the first set of controls generated dynamically,we have numeric 1 concatenated to every control id.

The number of sets of controls generated dynamically depends on "countValidate".

Adding PostBackTriggers And AsyncPostBackTriggers To UpdatePanel For Dynamically-generated Grandchild Controls?

Jan 20, 2011

I have a page with a ScriptManager, a generic HTML drop-down list (<select>), and an UpdatePanel. The UpdatePanel contains a PlaceHolder (for now). During Page_Load, a number of user controls are added to the PlaceHolder (really, it's several instances of the same user control). The number to add is not known until the page loads, so they do need to be loaded dynamically. The drop-down list is populated with the same number of menu items, and there is javascript on the page also (using jQuery) to show only one of the controls at a time depending on the state of the drop-down list.

Each user control has two buttons that should generate an asynchronous postback, a drop-down list that should generate an asynchronous postback on a change in selected value, and a button that should generate a synchronous postback. If I was not generating the controls dynamically, and if there was only one control, the structure would be something like:

[code]....

Of course, all the controls inside the ContentTemplate would actually be part of each user control.

Adding the triggers on the server side does not seem to work because no ControlID seems to the UpdatePanel find the relevant controls. I can use either the control's ID or the control's UniqueID, and it does not work, and I get an error along the lines of

A control with ID 'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$ctl01$asyncButton1' could not be found for the trigger in UpdatePanel 'myUpdatePanel'.

So, I wonder if I need to register the triggers in the client instead using ASP.NET Ajax. I found this page that basically explains how. However, I do not know how to get the EventName taken into consideration. The examples I have seen so far have merely been adding button clicks, but I don't know how to handle the SelectedIndexChanged event from the DropDownList.

Are there examples out there I have missed? It doesn't , of course, that the method in the link I gave appears to be "unofficial," so I don't see any MSDN documents on the subject.

Forms Data Controls :: Acessing Dynamically Generated Radiobuttonlist Of Grid?

Mar 22, 2011

I have a grid and on each row of grid i generate a radiobuttonlist with 2 items dynamically in rowdatabound. On the save button event i want to access the data of the row and save the data in DB with which ever radio button is selected.I tried different things but all in vain. I tried to use hidden field so that whenever any radio button is selected in a row then in javascript i will update the hidden field but user can select multiple rows so this is not a good solution.

Here is my code of dynamic radio button list generation in rowdatabound event.

Forms Data Controls :: Adding Spaces In A String Which Is Generated Dynamically In C# Code?

Jul 20, 2010

I have a grid. I am building and populating it dynamically in C#. Below mentioned is my issue:

string s1 = "string1";

string s2 = "string2";

And then I have a header cell text which needs to be populated like this.

headercell.text = s1 + new string(' ', 20) + s2;

I am not able to get the extra 20 spaces between s1 and s2. It gives me just one space instead of 20 spaces.

I tried using headercell.text = s1 + s2.padleft(' ', 30); even then I am not able to get more than one space between strings s1 and s2.

Forms Data Controls :: Validate A Dynamically Generated Textbox In A Gridview's Cell?

Jan 28, 2010

I have a gridview each line has 4 linkbuttons - Edit , Update , Cancel , Delete and a few columns with data...For example TeamName and TeamEmail, and a hidden column that contains a validator (for ease of validating controls that are found on the same row , same naming container)

When Edit button is Clicked , the specific line goes into editing mode , Texboxes are created for TeamName and for TeamEmail .

I create dinamically (code behind ) a new textbox that reads the value from the TeamEmail textbox , i give it a new id (let's say "Email") , add that email to the controltovalidate property of my validator , and call the validate() method of the validator.

Everything works fine when i modify the value in a worng format , the validator err message appears , when i modify the TeamEmail value to a good email format , the validator property isvalid becomes true , and the update is running , but my textbox is empty :( updating the TeamEmail value to null.

This is some bad code but hope you understand what i meant :

This is my html coed of my gridview

[Code]....

This is the code that manages the validation:

Forms Data Controls :: Get "checked" From Multiple Dynamically Generated Checkboxes?

Nov 16, 2010

I have a table witch i programmatically fill with(multiple) IDs in the first column, options in the second and checkboxes in the third. The table is in a View as it is part of a wizard and is filled on view_Activate.

How can i get the checked property of the checkboxes when i pass to the next view? When i try to do that on view_Deactivate the table is already 0 rows...

I know i can use i checkboxlist(... whose properties i can get on view_Deactivate) but i'd rather use a table as it is easier to layout as i want it(header, columns, alignment,...).

Web Forms :: Dynamically Generated DropDownLists?

Jun 30, 2010

I have a dropdownlist on my page which has autopostback set to true. On postback I populate a runat server div with a bunch of other DropDownLists. I then have a button which does another postback to save the selections. Because the second set of dropdownlists are dynamically generated I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get their selected values?

1st DropDownList

[Code]....

Then when I try get the dropdownlists using a foreach on the div that I added the control to it does not work. They are populating fine, its just on the button click. I have tried EnableViewState = true on the dropdownlists and my code is correct because if I code them into the aspx then it works, its something to do with the state.

Dynamically Generated HTML In C# To Be Formatted?

Oct 31, 2010

I have an ASP.NET web forms site with a rather large menu. The HTML for the menu is dynamically generated via a method in the C# as a string. I.e., what is being returned is something like this:

<ul><li><a href='default.aspx?param=1&anotherparam=2'>LINK</a></li></ul>

Except it is a lot bigger, and the lists are nested up to 4 deep.

This is written to the page via a code block.

However, instead of returning a flat string from the method I would like to return it as formatted HTML, so when rendered it looks like this:

<ul>
<li>
<a href='default.aspx?param=1&anotherparam=2'>LINK</a>
</li>
</ul>

I thought about loading the html into an XmlDocument but it doesn't like the & character found in the query strings.

How To Retrieve HTML Dynamically Generated From An Page

Jul 28, 2010

I'm coding an ASP.NET page, with VB code behind. When the user clicks a button on the page, I send them an email with information and instructions. Rather than sending a plain text email, I send a nice, pretty, HTML-formatted one. Right now, I'm doing this in a way that I KNOW will be difficult to maintain. That is, I'm straight up writing out all of the html. i.e.

markup += "<fieldset>"
markup += "<legend>"
markup += "Required Documents"
markup += "</legend>"

and so on. Is there a way to create an aspx page (with vb code behind), and send the html of that page in the body of the email? The information is dynamic, so this pseudo-page would need logic in the on-load event to format the html correctly.

Web Forms :: Dynamically Generated Usercontrols And Their Values?

Feb 11, 2010

I have implemented a user control with dropdown lists and textboxes where user may choose to add more of the same user control dynamically then submit the values within all usercontrols at the same time. They way I added usercontrols dynamically is whenever user clicks "add more" button, it increases the value of "userControlAmount" in session by 1, reloads the page and during next page_load event, within an updatepanel it creates usercontrols on the fly.

However whenever more is added since all usercontrols are generated again according to the latest user control counter, the values within the dropdownlists and textboxes are getting reseted.

I can hold all values in a viewstate/session however beyond the time/effort it will take, it doesn't sounds very "professional" to me. I was wondering if there is a more efficient way of doing this.

Use A Dynamically Generated File As ConfigSource In Web.config?

Jan 4, 2010

Is there a way to use a generated file as a configSource for a web.config section?

In web.config, I tried a simple:

<webParts configSource="webpartsConfig.aspx" />

where webpartsConfig.aspx just spits out XML when accessed normally, but not as a configSource. (The literal source code is included as-is, giving an error.)

Motivation for this solution: I have different configuration variables locally and online, and I don't want to juggle multiple config files.

Making A Dynamically Generated File Available For Download?

Jan 1, 2011

My goal is to take some form inputs and prompt the user to download a summary of everything once a certain button is clicked. I have no need for the file once it is downloaded and so I'd like to have a solution where the data is streamed directly to the user. My current solution doesn't even prompt the user for a download. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

I've got it wrapped as a webmethod and so I needed to add a definition of the _Default page class so I could access certain things.

[Code]....

this wasn't mentioned earlier but the webmethod is being called by an AJAX request!
