In my XML, it's possible for an apostrophe to appear in a node's value:
[code]....
I've noticed that the text is correctly displayed in the asp:TextBox but not in the INPUT element. I'm assuming that it's because server controls correctly escape the apostrophe. To work around this, I tried changing the Description node in the XML to the following:
<Description>This is section 'A'</Description>
Again, this displayed correctly in the asp:TextBox, but not in the INPUT element.
My next attempt was to wrap the node's value in a CDATA:
<Description><![CDATA[This is section 'A']]></Description>
Finally it was displaying correctly in the INPUT element, but now the asp:TextBox displayed the two "& # 3 9 ;". I've even tried "& a p o s ;" but the result is the same.
What is the best approach for the use of apostrophes in XML where the value can be displayed in either a server control or HTML element?
I am importing a comma seperated, single quote delimited file based off of client specifications. The only problem is now the client is sending apostophes in the file and is throwing off the single quote delimiter.
For Example:
'FirstName','LastName' 'John','O'Grady'
I need to figure out somehow to escape or replace that character before it goes into my OLE dataset import and then handle it before it hits my SQL table. Here is my current process flow:
Save the file to the App_Data using a FileUpload control Build a schema.ini for the ' delimeter Import into a dataset using Microsoft Jet OLE Use a for loop to pick out the fields that I need and build an insert into SQL I was trying to replace the ' with an underscore but then ended up replacing the whole file instead of just the one in the name.
The amount of li elements that will be rendered into each ul is determined at runtime. Each link in a li belongs to into a specific ul (the one containing a specific caption. Imagine this as a kind of a treeview with nodes and subnodes) During the bind Event I need access to an ASP:HyperLink that will be rendered into the a-element. Which databound ASP.Net control should I pick for this? Looks like a repeater in a repeater, which should make the databinding process ugly. I'm thinking about creating this HTML-Output with StringWriters myself.
I have a query which gets the text from a textbox and inputs it into the database.
It works fine if the value is something like Taylor but errors when it's O'Neill because the apostrophe gives a syntax error unclosed quotation mark Is there a way to add O'Neill to the database with the apostrophe still there?
I don't want to replace it with a double single quote I want it to be put in the database as it shows.
I have tried everything all day and cannot figure this out.
I tested the Insert Statement in MS Access and it works.
INSERT INTO user ([user_login], [email], [create_date]) VALUES ('user67', 'suesargis@yahoo.com', '11/15/2010 8:18:14 PM';
So how do I add the apostrophes in the string below to get the above when using executenonquery.? The string produces everything ok but it is missing the apostrophes.
i have a FormView, and i already have a Label control that gets the value of theselected propery inside the FormView, so each time the FormView displays data, i have a Label control that displays individual values, according to the value of the FormView, here is the code:
[code]....
What i would like to do is to know how i could add a DataList instead of a Label, and then each time the FormView databinds an item, to show the value of the DataList How would i go about doing that?
I use a ListView along with an ObjectDataSource tied to a business object. This object is defined as follows:
public class Employee { public int Id; public string Name; }
When I try setting the DataKeyNames property of the ListView to Id, ASP.net blows up and says: DataBinding: 'Employee' does not contain a property with the name 'Id'. However, when I change the object to that:
public class Employee { public int Id {get; set;} public string Name; }
It works!!!I couldn't find any documentation about this behavior. Why is it not accepting a simple variable for DataKeyNames and instead it insists on a property?
I have a control that inherits CompositeDataBoundControl. Based on the values of the bound data, I create som dynamic controls. In order to preserve state, I need to recreate the control tree on every request(from CreateChildControls):
[code]....
The problem is that on postback the PaymentMethod object is null, so I have no method of knowing what kind of control to recreate. That means that the control state is ruined. If I hardcode the type of payment control to make, it works as expected:
Although I'm a huge fan of Databound controls since ASP.Net 2.0 and have been using them a lot since learning them, I seem to have stumbled upon an unnoticed(or rather not cared about) issue that these controls seem to have.
I'm using ASP.Net 3.5 and the issue that I noticed is that when using Databound controls(such as Labels, HyperLinks) inside a Data-Control(such as Datalist, Gridview etc.), even if the value returned for one column is NULL, it is still rendered albeit as an empty tag.
For eg: I have a Datalist in which I have a Label whose value may or may not be NULL. Now there's no problem when the value is not NULL, the problem is when the value is NULL. Ideally, no HTML should be rendered for a controls that don't have any value, but in this case, the HTML(<span></span> in case of the Label) of the corresponding NULL valued control is still being rendered.
Now, as I said earlier that most people won't care about this as it isn't much of an issue, but if you consider the fact that this control may be enclosed in a hierarchy of parent controls, and then repeated many a times, this could significantly increase the HTML content(since the ID of your HTML content is based on the parent controls) without any Text added to maintain the Text/HTML ratio, thereby becoming a cause for the Search Engines to shy away from indexing your pages fully.
I couldn't find anything related to this matter anywhere else so I thought to bring it up here. Is this really an issue with databound controls or am I missing something here?
For example when using a gridview. When you specify the columns
BoundField for example won't work if you are binding it to a field instead of a property.
I guess this is so because when the gridview is looking for the DataField property it looks for a property and not a field. Now the question is how can i change this behavior to make it possible to use fields. I know i have to inherit from the gridview, but i don't know where to go from there.
So I finally managed to create a control which basically shows a bunch of Panels with an extra property. I use it like this:
[Code]....
This renders fine and shows the text in the TabPanel controls. However, when I replace the plain text with something a little more exciting, say an UpdatePanel so it looks like this:
[Code]....
Then I get this weird error:

If I take out the UpdatePanel and replace it with an ASCX control I made that simply puts database data into some DropDownLists, like this...
[Code]....
Then the page loads, but the data is not loaded into CustomerUserList1, and the dropdownlists within it are all blank. CustomerUserList1 has worked fine for years when used directly in a normal Panel/Page UpdatePanel.
While writing a web application Using MS Web Developer 2010 Express, I noticed a rather disconcerting behavior of the asp:DropDownlist control.When using databinding and you assign a DataValueField the selectedIndexChanged does not fire or change unless the value of the DataValueField changes no matter what the value of the DataTextField. This means that if I have several different text values(States/Provinces) with the same datavalue (US/Canada) I cannot fire an event if the text changes (the textchanged does not fire either) as long as the datavalue doesn't change (all States are US all Provinces are CA). This would seem to be a counter intuitive behavior?
I'm working in a web application and my page is using a databound formview control. When i first enter the page via my code, I am unable to retreive a value from any of my controls -e.g. when i debug, i see that tbDate.text has no value (see code below). How can I retreive the values from the controls on my page e.g text boxes?
Code:
if (!this.IsPostBack) { TextBox tbDate = (TextBox)FormView1.Row.Cells[0].FindControl("txtDate"); }
I am working on this form and I am having a difficult time trying to insert data into the database without having to use gridview, or something like that. I have textboxes and and dropdown lists all over the place and i want enter/selected values to be sent to the DB.
Heres some code:
[Code]....
I understand this code fairly well, but from what i can gather is that is used with DataBound controls. how do i set something like txtProvider.Text to @Provider and also execute the Query?
i already have a DataList, and i get any information from the rows i need by adding code such as:
[code]....
Well what i am doing there is using the values from the items that the DataList has obtained from the rows, now, what i need to do is EXACTLY the same, but for the FormView, i realised that this code does not work for the FormView, but only DataList control.
give me the code for doing exactly as shown, but for the FormView control.
i have to a grid view and the datasource for it is a table coming from the database the table containing sequence numbers for example if the sequence number is 1 then i want to add a row just above this saying it is the start , the entire row should give some information .
i tried to find related thing but no luck, waiting for some replies to move further
I need to be able to get the value in the "first" row of a Gridview as its getting or right after it is displayed.
I thought this would work but its coming up null.
I'm using the DataBound event to get the value of the control of a selected row...assuming the selected row is the first row which is probably the error of my ways. Any ideas how to get at this value easily?
i am developing a tree view component which should be data driven and amendable instead default layout provided by .net can we change that proper hierarchial structure like organization chart is there any chance to provide with an hyperlink to redirect other page or content view control below to display the content related to it.
