CreateChildControls Method ChildControls Do Not Fire Events?
Mar 22, 2011
I have created a custom web control. In that control on CreateChildControls method i dynamically create a Table add rows to it which contains a ImageButton and i am trying to attach an event to this ImageButton but the event never fires?
I tried on Init method too it does not work . The code goes like this on CreateChildControls
I create a Panel . The i create a table with data and an imagebutton on it I add this table to the created panel I add this Panel to the Controls.Add method.
I have also observed that if i add a control directly to the Controls.Add() method and attach an event it works fine .
Meaning ,
1. Create a button attach an event handler
2. Add to the Controls.Add() method
On doing the above it works fine . Only the child controls events do not get fired is there anything that i am missing ??
I want to unit test my rendering engine for an ASP.NET app. I have some custom controls created in that app. Most of those control rely on having CreateChildControls() method called by the ASP.Net engine wheather during initial call or a postback.When running a test CreateChildControls() does not get called and the control is in an "invalid" state.
As a workaround to get the tests going I explicitly call some other public method that calls EnsureChildControls() in it. This in effect causes CreateChildControls() to be executed and the control being initialized properly (just as it would normally when hosted on web server). I would like to get rid of that extra method call and the control to still be in a proper state for testing.
I have one main gridview and child gridview.It showing all questions. for every question i have another gridview to show answer options.If i want to delete one answer option how can i delete?
What I did is, I have made 2 user controls. One control is inside the other.
NoW one control has a buttton and a data grid and datalist in it. When pressing button I am filling datagrid while datalist visiblity false. This is working fine. But now when I press some link button in datalist data, it should call item_command event but it is not calling.
I have also used a Updatepanel as a wrapper(all controls are inside it).
I have a Page that does a LoadForm("blah.ascx"). The Page does have a ModalPopupExtender on it (It was on the ascx originally but I moved it to the Page as a test, doesn't work either way). There is a Loop here so the LoadControl() will be called multiple times and will put multiple instances of the ascx on the Page.
Blah.ascx has some buttons on it but when I click the buttons the click event does not fire and the Page gets reloaded without the control on it anymore.
The Page.Page_Load event does fire. And yes, I have the LoadControl() inside an Not IsPostback check. Just the controls events, including Page_Load, do not fire on postback, only on initial load.
A group I am in at school is developing a website for a client. It needs to be able to send weekly emails out to all users, as well perform many other scheduled tasks.My question is: what is the best way to fire events from classes within the solution with a timer? I've read that a Windows Service can be used...?
So I have a page with an UpdatePanel and some controls in there. When I explicitly type/copy+paste the page's address into the address bar, let VS navigate there for me, or follow a link to the page, all of the AJAX works fine. But if I refresh this page, the JS on the page initiates the async postback, but the appropriate event is never called on the server (although Page_Load is) and the client never recieves the markup sent back by the server. This issue seems to be limited to Firefox 3.6 (Gecko build 1/15/2010)(doesn't happen in IE8). I have yet to try on other versions of Firefox.
I'm building a library of custom controls. My controls are inherited from CompositeControl. Depending on the user's answer I have to insert more custom control. I have a PlaceHolder (_ph) passed in from the client code. I insert my controls into that PlaceHolder.
My problem is the control I inserted in the event handler does not fire its event, but it fires the parent event. For example, if I have an EddDropDown A, and the user picks an answer, I have to create EddDropDown B and C in edd_SelectedIndexChanged. When I pick an answer for B, it fires SelectedIndexChanged for A instead of B.
I think it has something to do with entering the page cycle late.
this is an example of my controls:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Collections; using System.Linq; using System.Text;
Well, I'm sure this is not the first time to see this question. and TBH you can find this question answered on many other websites and blogs -not only here-
But I never saw a complete answer for this question, I mean no one talked about the advantages and the disadvantages. no one shared a real experience.
Although Quartz.NET seems like a good solution but yet, there's no enough reviews or a good comparison between the different ways to achieve such a thing.
As far as I read about it I found this are the possible ways of doing this :
Using a: Web Service, Windows Appliction, Console Application, Quartz.NET.
Examples of stuff I want to achieve with the scheduled or automatic methods/events are like archiving after a certain period, auto deleting/moving records in the database, setting a property of an object after a certain time, automatically run some methods according to my holiday schedule.
I hope you'd share your experience either with one of those approaches or share a new way of doing this.
The if (!Page.IsPostBack) is always false went the page loads after i click a linkbutton and it never goes into the linkbutton event. Googled as much as I can. I am kinda new to asp
I am trying to fire one event out of two avalible events based on a check box selectoin, I have already registered the two events in the page_load() and i check if the check box is checked (checkbox is located within a gridview) then i un-register one of the events and just keep one events registered as following(Only relative part is shown):
[Code]....
I am trying to fire one event only based on the checkbox selection. I tryed to debug and noticed that, in fact, both evetns always get fired starting first with Button_SessionStartOrEnd_StartSessino and then Button_SessionStartOrEnd_EndSessino. So how can i fire one event only? please note that my code to check if the ckeckbox is checked within the girdview works fine.
I'm working on a questionnaire type application in which questions are stored in a database. Therefore, I create my controls dynamically on every Page.OnLoad.This works like a charm and ViewState is persisted between postbacks because I ensure that my dynamic controls always have the same generated Control.ID.
In addition to the user control that dynamically populates the questions, my questionnaire page also contains a 'Status' section (also encapsulated by a user control) which represents the status of the questionnaire (choices are 'Complete', 'Started' or 'In Progress'). If the user changes the status of questionnaire (i.e. from 'In Progress' to 'Complete'), I need to postback to the server because the contents of the dynamic portion of the questionnaire depend on the selected status.
Some questions are always present regardless of status, and yet others may not be present at all for the selected status. The point is, when the status changes, I have to postback to the page and render the right set of questions. Additionally, I need to preserve any user entered values for those questions which are 'always available'.
However, due to the page life cycle in ASP.NET, the 'Status' user control's OnLoad, which contains the correct status needed to load the right questions from the DB, doesn't get executed until after the 'dynamic questions' user control has already been populated (with the wrong/stale values).
To get around this, I raise an event from my 'Status' user control to the main page to indicate that the Status has changed. The main page then raises an event on the 'dynamic questions' user control. Since by the time this event bubbles up, the 'dynamic questions' user control has already loaded the 'wrong' questions from the DB, it first calls Controls.Clear. It then happily uses the new status to query the database for the 'correct' questions and does a Control.Add() on each. FYI, Control.IDs are consistent across postbacks.
This solution works...sorta. The correct set of questions for the selected status do get rendered; however ViewState is getting lost for those 'always available' questions. I'm guessing this is because the 'dynamic questions' user control calls Controls.Clear when responding to the status changed event. This must somehow kill the association between ViewState and my dynamic controls, even though the Control.IDs are consistent.
This seems like such a common requirement, I'm virtually certain there is a better, cleaner and less error prone approach to accomplish this. In case its not plainly obvious, I haven't been able to grok the ASP.NET page life-cycle despite working with it for the last year.
I'm new to ASP.net 3.5 and testing functionality before developing an asp.net web site. I created a page with a formview. I added several text boxes. I created an event on the FirstName_TextChanged event and added a stop in the sub. When I open the page in the browser and type in some text in the FirstName and press tab, nothing seems to fire.
1) Is this supposed to fire on the client side when text is changed? 2) If so, would the vb.net code entered work like Javascript code on the server? 3) If so again, is it possible to update another textbox based on the text entered into the FirstName on the Client Side (would do this in Javascript in Classic ASP)?
I think I'm totally confused. I've been searching web for article about how to do this.
I have created login page dynamically by using texteditor. Which includes 2 texboxes and 1 Submit button.
Im saving this html in database and loading this html in the login page. Means adding this html to DIV tag innerHtml. My question is how to findout these controls in the code behind page and how fire submit button click event. Or any other alternative to do this?
I have a custom control that creates a textbox on CreateChildControls.I'm trying to set the value of this textbox (trough a property of the control) on the load event of the page that uses the custom control. Unfortunately at this point CreateChildControls haven't been executed yet and the textbox is null.
I called EnsureChildControls on the consumer page before using the custom control properties but no luck, still null.This happens when is not postback.
I have a ListView control on a page that I need to support inline editing and inserting. Before I put it inside an update panel, everything was fine. As soon as I put it in an update panel, I seem to lose theOnItemUpdating, OnItemCanceling events. The OnItemEding event still fires, though.I am doing all updating, inserting manually.
I have a form with a drop down list. I want to pass the value of the selected item and a hidden field called stidentid to a controller action that would check my database to see if records for that id and semester exist and return the view with the appropriate values filled in. I'm not really familliar with Javascript or Jquery so I tried this:
[Code]....
}).change();
however nothing happens when I select anything from the semester list not even a crash. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using a standard GridView control inside of a web form. The web form uses a master page. The application is running within sharepoint (wss 3.0) environment. When i attach both the OnRowCommand and OnRowDatabound events to the gridview as shown in the markup below, only the OnRowDataBound event fires. The OnRowCommand never gets hit. When i press a button on a row, it posts back but never hits the onRowCommand event and simply falls through and repaints the page . However if i remove the OnRowDataBound event, the OnRowCommand event starts to fires correctly. I've tried a number of things...1. Hooking up the events in code instead of markup. (inside of PageLoad or PageInit)2. Changing the order in which the events are attached.
I have implemented a ListView1_ItemCommand, that fires from the following LINKBUTTON on my Listview:
[Code]....
My intention is when i click on the EDIT button on my Listview, it fills the Form with the data retrieved from the DB. If all the fields on this form are EMPTY, then it INSERTS. But if the formīs TEXTBOXES have texts on it, it should call the ListView1_ItemCommand in order to perform the same EDIT.
How do I fire the ListView1_ItemCommand ? Or is there any way better ?
I have a linkbutton whose onclick method does not fire after a jquery drag and drop, the onlclientclick does work. Y would the server side code not work only after a jquery drag and drop?
