Hi,
Everytime I view the source of ASP.NET website I found alot alot of HTML markup generated. I even tried Visual web Developer and design a simple page and then do the same thing with PHP and I found ASP.NET generates more HTML!
Now, how can ASP.NET be faster if it is generating HTML in this way!
I want to publish my web application as a single .dll file without all the source code and .aspx markup pages.
I am using VS 2010 with the "Web Deployment Project" add-in. In the compilation settings, I unchecked "make this site updatable" because I want the .aspx files to be compiled as well.
Publishing my web application using the publish feature in VS 2010 works fine, and a single .dll file is created in the "bin" directory.
But all the .aspx markup files are still copied to the web server! I've read that those files are merely marker files which can be deleted, but not in my case. They still contain the whole markup and when I delete them, my application won't run anymore.
It's like I had checked the "make this site updatable" option, but I haven't!

I'm using a <asp:Login> control and it's automatically putting CellSpacing, CellPadding, and Border attributes into the generated HTML table. How can I stop ASP.NET outputting these attributes (without moving to ASP.NET 4)?
View 7 RepliesI've got problem with generating ajax anchors. I'm using simple
Ajax.ActionLink("test", "Test", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId="test", HttpMethod="GET" }) and the generated markup is:
<a data-ajax="true" data-ajax-method="GET" data-ajax-mode="replace" data-ajax-update="#test" href="/Home/Test">test</a>
which, obviously lacks the onclick="Sys.Mvc.AsyncHyperlink.handleClick(...)" attribute.
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" />
I have a field in my SQL database that contains HTML markup from the HTMLEditor control in the AjaxControlToolkit. When I use the Report Viewer and SQL Reporting Services to display this field in a report, the field is displayed using the tags. I would either like to hide the tags completely or render them so that they format the text appropriately, rather than the tags be displayed as a load of <p>, <br>, <strong> tags etc. I've searched around and tried out a few different articles but haven't yet had any success.
View 7 RepliesWhat is the Best way to write my own HTML from code behind?
i currently use this :
<asp:Literal ID="ltr" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
and from code behind :
ltr.Text = "<p class="specific-class"></p>";
is it a right to do something like this?
i've to display a messagge in my homepage (default.aspx) different for each "installation" of my web app. i would like to avoid to make a call to database to show this message.. so i've thougth to use web.config to store something like this
<add key="WelcomeString" value="lorem ipsus <b>doloret sit amen</b>" />
But i've noticed i can't use html markup into web.config Is there a better approach ? Or is there a way to insert html markup into web.config ?
I'm a new comer to the asp.net world. I hear a lot about asp.net mvc and it's advantage over webforms about the ability to customize the markup and css. I also heard that asp.net is much easier to learn than asp.net mvc so I decided to go for asp.net and webforms. My question is: what's the level of customization a web developer/designer can get with webforms concerning the markup and css?
View 4 RepliesI have a Master Page as well as a standard Web Form aspx file. What if I wanted to dynamically modify the complete HTML markup in an aspx file (perhaps based on a conditional statement - perhaps in a specific content place holder), how would I go about doing this? Sorry I'm coming from a PHP background so this is why I'm asking such a simple question.
View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.NET site which uses a 3rd party activeX control. I have to pass a few parameters to the OBJECT tag in the HTML page. If i hardcode these parameters into the HTML everything works.
I would like to place the parameters in my web.config with app settings "key/value" pairs.
My problem is i cannot read the app key setting in the HTML markup to succesfully pass them in as parameters. I can read them fine from server side code behind.
What's the correct way to read these settings in the client side HTML markup ?
I have an asp.net page i do authentication and authorization of a user and user can make several ajax requests from this page. What i want to ensure is that the request only from this page so i will store some data(or token)(possibly a function of userID + user IP address + current time) encrypted in the page aswell as in the session so the requests that come with this token will only get served.
View 1 Repliesim very new to ASP.NET and web based applications. I am very interested in building websites though. a friend told me " if you want to build web sites then forget ASP.NET as that is for applications, stick with HTML" .... but HTML is static code and ASP. NET is dynamic and surely better? the oinly one real thing that gets me though is this "if ASP.NET is used to build Web-forms and web based applications then what good is it for building web sites? ... a web based application and web site/ page are 2 different things? so if i want to get into building web sites for me and other people, what should i need to know? HTML, PHP ect?

Is it possible to access the html markup of programmatically created controls, and if so, how?
In c# you can write things like:

I'm trying to add some basic HTML markup to my code-behind, just a H1 and a few breaks separating strings in the message.Body, but can't seem to get it going without errors.

Probably a straightforward thing, or not intended usage at all,
I need some people to edit the ressource file without seeing html markup.
How can I do that .. ? I tried RESX edition but it doesn't hide the markup.
What is best practice for saving and displaying rich text?
Example: I want to store an article with links, different font styles and so on. What format should it be saved in?
How are people saving their "content".
I have the following call in my app:
...
var message = "<label style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; color: Gray;'>" + currentPlayerName + "</label>: ";
$.ajax({
url: "/Game/SendMessage",
type: "POST",
[Code]....
When I call this function it always drops an error. I think there is a problem with the data that I want to send back to the server.
I'm trying to optimize SEO readability on our websites and one issue I've come across is ASP.NET butchering the title element of my MasterPage. Entered as such in my MasterPage (manually reformatted to remove line breaks caused by the <% %> tags):
<title><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server" /> - <%=WebsiteSettings.WebsiteName %></title>
This is the output I receive:
[code]...
As you can see ASP.NET is adding preceding and trailing line breaks where the <asp:ContentPlaceHolder /> is substitute becaused Visual Studio auto-formats <asp:Content /> to start and end with a line break. Obviously, this can be prevented in the Visual Studio formatting options, but this is not ideal because I only would want to remove that behavior for the TitleContent placeholder and not the rest.
Is there any way I can ensure my Title is trimmed before it is rendered? I am using MVC so code-behind is not an acceptable option.
the account we use to copy/publish websites to our web server is not allowing us access to push websites. I've added this account to the permissions in the links listed in the below link, but i don't have success when trying to push remotely. When the account is in the local admins account, everything works flawlessly, but we are not allowed to have it in there. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/31be047e-4716-4974-b8a1-be0111b50199 I've googled and searched a lot for this particular error, but am not finding an answer that helps. We get this error, 'Unable to create the Web 'http://edea01/test/planning'. You are not authorized to perform the current operation', and the above link is the scenario that matches mine the most. I don't do develompment work, but am asked to figure out this connection problem.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
In my ASP.Net page I have
<form id="MasterPageForm" runat="server">
However, whenever the markup is generated, it turns into
<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="SomePage.aspx..." id="aspnetForm">
Is it possible to set what the generated HTML id for the form is?
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.
how can i set ID to tabelrows generated by datagrid/datalist i want to assign a row id by myself to every row of datalist.
