C# And .NET Custom Property Attributes And Determining If Properties Changed?

Dec 20, 2010

I am working on a project where we want to keep a history of a particular object. On save I want a method on the object that will determine if it has changed so that I can call a method to save its current state to history. E.g. I populate a form from an object the user makes changes (or possibly not) and submits the from. I want to take my original object and a copy of that object that has been updated from the form and determine if it has changed at all. Additionally I may decide at some point that certain properties don't matter (e.g. if Name changes I won't track it).

I'm thinking the easiest/most flexible way to accomplish this would be if I could give the properties I care about a custom attribute [ChangeTracked] and then I could use reflection to get a list of all properties with that attribute and loop through them comparing A.property == B.property to determine if any have changed.

Would this work? Is there a significantly better/easier way to handle this, like some sort of built in method you can add to an object to determine if the values of any properties have changed? Whatever the solution some psudo code would be appreciated. Just as a point of clarification the solution needs to determine if the value I care about has actually changed not just if it has been assigned since it was created i.e. if I set Name="bob" and it was already "bob" before my assignment this does not count as a change.

C# - How To Access Attributes Of Properties In The Model From Strongly Typed Custom HtmlHelper

Mar 18, 2011

I have a view that is strongly typed and its model is of type LogOnModel. That LogOnModel has anotated properties like this one:

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your password")]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "Password", Description = "Your secreet password")]
public string Password { get; set; }

All of them has Display anotation with Display.Descripion property set. I want to create HtmlHelper extension method that will output <span> containg the value of Display.Description property. So for example if I called my extension method DescriptionFor than this code:

<%: Html.DescriptionFor(m => m.Password) %>

should produce following html: <span>Your secreet password</span>

C# - Itemplate Properties Not Available As Attributes?

Sep 10, 2010

I've added an ITemplate to Telerik's RadGrid control called SearchMenuTemplate ala:

[code]...

And the Template class looks something like (mandatory override methods like createchildcontrol have been omitted for brevity):

[ParseChildren(true)]
class searchBar : CompositeControl, INamingContainer
{
public string rbStartsWithText { get; set; }
}

Now, in the source control window the RadGrid control sees the Template. But rbStartsWithText isn't an attribute on the node.

I want to see something like this (note: abs prefix is registered in the markup):

<abs:AbsRadGrid ID="rg" runat="server">
<SearchMenuTemplate rbStartsWithText="Starts With" />
</abs:AbsRadGrid>

Instead rbStartsWithText is throwing a green squiggly and telling me it's not a valid attribute of SearchMenuTemplate.

Web Forms :: Creating A Nested Property In UserControl Or Multiple Child Properties In Parent Property?

Aug 2, 2010

Can anyone add a complete input about how to create Parent Property with multiple child properties or in short nested properties.

Example: Style tag: which has properties like font, color, display... etc? which accept objects and its value.

[code]....

As soon as Rainbow property is typed, user should get intellisense for list of number of colors. Then accordingly user can select list of those colors and assign a value to them.

Adding Custom Attributes To The Page ?

Jul 19, 2010

Is there a way to add custom attributes to @Page directive and also get design time support like intellisense for the same?

I have used Adding Custom Property to Page Directive in ASP.Net 2.0 as a pointer.

I would like to have a attribute which will give dev an option to select value from list. Something similar to EnableSessionState attribute. I do understand I need to define an enum for the values. But I cannot understand how to make it available during the design time.

Adding Custom Attributes To .NET RadioButton Control

Sep 23, 2010

I want to add a custom attribute to an asp.net RadioButton called Key which I'm using client-side for an ajax request.

What I'm finding is that my aspx markup which is the following:

<asp:RadioButton ID="rdoPost" GroupName=PreferredContactMethod" value="Post" onclick="DoStuff(this)" runat="server" />


gets rendered in the page as<span Key="ContactMethod">
<input id="rdoPost" type="radio" name="PreferredContactMethod"" value="Post" onclick="DoStuff(this);" />
</span>

whereas I'd expected (and hoped) to get the following

<input id="rdoPost" type="radio" Key="ContactMethod" name="PreferredContactMethod"" value="Post" onclick="DoStuff(this);" />

I've tried the same thing with an asp TextBox control and it works exactly as I'd expect simply adding the Key="myKey" attribute to the <input type="text"/> element.Is there a way around this with the standard RadioButton control, or will I have to inherit from the standard one to achieve the markup I'm wanting? Currently I'm using these attributes in JavaScript in the following way:

var key = rdoPost.Key;

Active Directory Custom User Profiles / Attributes?

Mar 8, 2010

I am currently using the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider just for authentication on an internal business app built in asp.net. This works like a charm.

I am now looking to add some functionality to handle custom profile information for a user, ideally also stored in Active Directory.

For a simple example let's just say the custom attribute is FavoriteColor. Then the goal would be for my app to be able to read in this custom attribute for the authenticated user.

I have looked into ADAM a bit. That looks like it would be great for a Role Provider, but I haven't really found anything that indicates it would work well for a Profile Provider or if it would even let me store custom attributes like FavoriteColor. Maybe someone knows better?

I'm also pretty new to Active Directory so maybe there is even an option to store custom user attributes (like FavoriteColor) within it? In general I am just looking for ideas about the best way to implement this?

Custom Server Controls :: Custom Control's Constructor / User To Set That variable In The Properties Window After They Drag The Control Onto A Form?

Mar 4, 2010

I have a custom control which inherit from the Table class and in the constructor, it takes a an integer as an argument. There is no empty constructor.

Is there a way for the user to set that variable in the properties window after they drag the control onto a form.

I know some .NET controls, you can set the source for the parameter to different things like another control's property, QueryString using just the properties window.

Right now, I have to create the control dynamically. I read the query string and then created the object.

Custom Server Controls :: List Property Of A Custom Control Is Not Persisted?

I have a custom control, inherited from Button. This is the class definition for the control and 2 properties:

I show you 2 properties, only to illustrate the problem.

as you see Aplicacion property is of a custom type Sistema, and Roles property is of type List<UserRol>.

The Aplicacion property is rendered well, this way:

The problem I have is with List<UserRol>. I couldn't get it to be rendered. I expeect to be rendered this way:

Finally, this is the TypeConverter and Editor definitions for the list:

The UserRol class is a typical class, without any special attributes.

I have discovered that when I use the custom editor for Roles property, the collection is not persisted. When I use the default editor for the collection, the collection is persisted.
