AJAX :: Use Dynamically Created Button To Update A Label In An UpdatePanel
Mar 9, 2010
I have some code that I am working on that uses an UpdatePanel and some dynamically created buttons to perform functions. The problem is that the dynamically created buttons aren't working the same as my test static button, which is behaving exactly as it should be.
So I was wondering if someone would be willing to simply post an example (in VB.NET or C# please) of the following:
An UpdatePanel has a Label and a Placeholder inside of it
The Placeholder has a dynamic button added to it
Clicking on this button will make the Label say "Hi" without performing a full page postback.
If I can just get that much to work, I am sure that the rest of the code will be fine. I just can't seem to get my dynamic buttons to act like my static ones do in an UpdatePanel.
I have a grid view in Ajax UpdatePanel. In a column of a grid view I have a button call btnAddNewRecord. I need to fire btnAddNewRecord.Click event once I click on that.
I have a user control embedded in an UpdatePanel. I'm trying to display a message on the parent page which contains the UpdatePanel when I complete some work in the code-behind of the usercontrol. It appears that due to the partial postback the event delegates that the original developer used to update the labels with messages don't get updated from calls within the user control. The call to the event delegate is executing and I can trace the execution including assigning the text to the label, but when the page is updated the message is not displayed.
I tried moving the labels inside the user control and therefore within the UpdatePanel and setting up event delegates in the user control page_load but that has the exact same effect.
I have gone through several posts on this forum about adding a linkbutton to an updatepanel dynamically. A lot of them say just give it a unique ID and some say you have to register add an AsyncPostBackTrigger to the triggers collection. I have tried both and neither work. I have this simple test that I created - the code is below - there is nothing else in this project but the code you see so I know nothing else is interfering with it.
I have also seem people complaining that the linkbutton causes the entire page to postback - in my case nothing happens... I have seen people talk about having to add the triggers on the page init however I can't do that - I am dynamically creating menus based on a selection in a listbox... (not in this simple test but in a larger project) I am using Visual web developer express 2010 if that makes any difference.
i have a website with three UpdatePanel Control and inside of each UpdatePanels has ONE Gridview and a SqlDataSource Control.
all gridviews are connected to its own SqlDataSource Control. so technically when i run my website all gridviews automatically get their data from their respective SqlDataSource Control and display them accordingly.
but what i need to do is instead of letting all the update panels to load each gridview their data upon Onload event, i need the updatepanel to update on queue, (Technically changing the UpdateMode to Conditional does not solve my problem.) there will be an event which will trigger the updatepanel to update later.
I have a button that is inside of an updatepanel, I want it so that whenever the user clicks on the button it would update items in the updatepanel and after that it would activate the animationextender but I can't do that as of now because on the button I have OnClientClick="return false;".
I have an update panel with a set of 2 radio buttons, a label and an image button inside of it. There another set of 3 radio buttons that trigger the update panel. I got everything working but now the image button, label and set of 2 radio buttons inside the update panel show up twice when the radio button triggers are selected?
I have an html table with rows and cells. And I have dynamically created a label and would like to assign the label to one of the cells of the table. What I am doing is I have a JavaScript which executes a code behind method and it would not accept an already created asp.net label. So I have created the asp.net label programmatically but cant assign it to the table to display the text value of the label. Below is the code:
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod] public static void EndCandiateTest(){ try { totalTestMarks = ts.RetrieveResults(); grade = tsp.RawScoreAndGrade(totalTestMarks); remarks = tsp.ScoreInterpretation(totalTestMarks); testResults = "Raw Score: " + totalTestMarks.ToString() + " Grade: " + grade + " Remarks: " + remarks; ts.ShowResults(testResults); } catch (Exception e) { } } protected void ShowResults (string results). I want to display this label in an already existing html table. messageLabel.Text = results;
Since I was not able to figure out my previous problem I decided to go ahead and make my own update statements and change the update command on a datasource I have. So I have a few textboxes and whatnot that allow you to change data and then click an update button. When I click that update button the page seems to refresh as if it was updating the record but the data in the boxes reverts back to what it was. I also created a ONUpdated sub and the label text change does not show.
A simple poll system that loads questions and possible answers.
I load questions, so that each one is generated as a DIV element and placed inside a DIV element already present in HTML markup.
Next, for each question I load answers, generate them as LinkButtons and add them to the corresponding DIV controls collection.
This all works as expected, the questions and answers are all nicely generated.
Now, all the dynamically created controls are placed in a DIV element that is inside an Update Panel.
HTML MARKUP:
HTML Code: <asp:UpdatePanel ID ="infoUpdate" runat ="server" > <ContentTemplate > <div id ="info" runat ="server" > <asp:Label ID ="infoLabel" runat ="server" ></asp:Label>
[Code] ....
The problem is, that I can't seem to register the dynamically created controls with the UpdatePanel, so when I click a LinkButton it doesn't do a Full PostBack.
Below is the sub I use to generate the controls:
vb.net Code: Private Sub createPoll() Try connection = New SqlConnection(connectionString) connection.Open() ''Get the currently active poll ID Dim sqlQuery As String = "SELECT pollID FROM polls WHERE pollStatusID = 1" Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(sqlQuery, connection)
[Code] ....
As you can see, I tried adding a handler to each control and then adding the control to the UpdatePanel ContentTemplateContainer, but the clickEvent never gets fired.
I also tried adding triggers for each controls, but it made no difference.
I am quite sure this has to do something with the Page LifeCycle, but I just can't see it.
i am using a TabContainer and at each TabPanel i have embed an UpdatePanel in order to update each tab alone.
this is my code:
[Code]....
the problem is that it makes several seconds to update each tab (the same time for every tab) and i asume that this is happening because it updates all the TabContainer and not the selected Tab.
Ive came into a problem when using partial page update. The javascript doesn't fellow. What i want to do is when i call a partial page update some of the update have controls that require a javascript code to be executed. When the partial update is done that javascript isnt here and cannot be found. So what is the best way to make a javascript file to fellow a partial page update ?
In my form I have a label and button control.By default the label is visible. When a user clicks on the button I have made the label to visible false.For simple button it is working, but when I add an updatePanel to button the event is getting fired but the label is not getting to visible false. this is happening and the solution for this.
I have created a gridview dynamically from scratch and added it to my aspx page. This works fine, but i have a button in the footer of on of the columns, which when clicked on makes the gridview disappear and doesn't fire the onclick event that it should. This should obviously not be the case. My question is why does the event not fire and why does the gridview vanish? Bear in mind i have never created aa gridview in the code behind before, so excuse me if i am being dense

Does anyone have a good vb example of adding an "onClick" event to a button that is dynamically added into a templatefield of a gridview. MSDN just says to use the addhandler statement with no other good info for a 'dynamic' scenario:
I have a accordion control inside an update panel. As I loop through the Products table and the Details table in the code behind, I'm creating the accordion panes that will display the data. There's an "Add to Cart" button created for each product (each accordion pane), and I'm asigning an EventHandler for that button, but it never fires... Here's the code where I'm creating and adding the button to the page:
[Code]....
[Code]....
[Code]....
And here is the code event that is suposed to fire:Private Sub addToCart(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CommandEventArgs)
i created dynamically a table with in a function... this table is added to a panel. and this panel is in ajax updatepanel... statically i have given no of rows as 3, for that table... in page_load my table with 3 rows is created.... but i cannot identify this table in another button click event...
I'm dynamically creating a table on my page with rows and controls. It looks like a gridview but it's not (it should've been, but too late now, seriously). I have a first name, last name, date of birth, etc. I want each row to have a button to add rows underneath it. So I create an event handler each time I create a new row and assign it to the click event of a button contained in the row. But it's not getting called.
Is it correct that the event handler doesn't stay established because the buttons are dynically created and are lost when the page posts back?
I have two updatepanels on my site (upanProfileSearch and upanMemberList). When I hit the button in the upanProfileSearch it should bind the Data Items in the gridview in upanMemberList and here make a RowFilter on the text in upanProfileSearch. When I make a run to curser, I can see, it happens. It makes a RowFilter. but it doesn't update the gridview. Can anyone tell me why it doesn't update? I have UpdateMode="Always" and RenderMode="inline" on both UpdatePanels.
My page contains a button [Button1].I've dynamically created a new button [Button2] in the Button1_Click event and and assigned event handler also.But when clicking on Button2, Button2_Click event is not fired.I think its because the page looses dynamically created Button2 after post back, since it is created in Button1_Click event.Is there any way to maintain Button2 on page and raise Button2_Click event ?
