So what I'm trying to accomplish is this
[Code]....
The user control has public properties named accordingly and the page has protected properties accordingly which I've verified have the desired values.
For some reason the values are always empty strings or 0s in the usercontrol, no matter what the page property is.
How can I create a UserControl with a collection-type property which has a collection editor?
I've a CompositeControl with an ArrayList-type property which has CollectionEditor-type designer. You can see this property on Properties window with a "..." button which launches a collection editor. This works fine and all but I want to apply the same to a UserControl and I've couldn't manage to pull it off so far. I've done the same thing what I've done with my CompositeControl but the property either doesn't even show on Properties window of the UserControl or shows as a single value property with no "..." editor button.
This is what I've done with CompositeControl:

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.
I have a custom control in an aspx page that has a property named Size
public int Size
{
get { return Convert.ToInt32(ViewState["CreativeSize"]); }
set { ViewState["CreativeSize"] = value; }
}
This property is set in the aspx page to a value lets say 500 during a postback called by a Button control that is in the page (not in the custom control).
I also have a button inside the custom control that raises a postback like this
protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (fuBannerfile.HasFile)
if (fuBannerfile.FileContent.Length / 1024 > this.Size)
;//code here not important
}
When this event is called the "this.Size" property is 0. I also noticed during debugging that during Page_Load of the page, if i access the property like this:
int size = customControlId.Size;
the property is set to 500. But after that when the debugger reaches the event inside the control the property is 0.
I'll use Customer and Addresses as an example rather than explain my real objects. Say I have a repeater bound to a collection of Customers and one of the properties of Customer is an array of addresses. How do I bind to the addresses property? I don't even need to display this information I just want to use it in the Repeaters ItemDataBound event. So I tried to bind a hiddenField to the addresses property but all I get for every customer in the hiddenfields value is an empty array of addresses.

i have written the required properties which are working fine except the "checked" property. here is my code for 'checked' property. i tried both the below ways (commented one and not commneted) . the problem is the 'checked' value is not setting the value at the get set part of the property.its assigning the value at the design time , but when i check and uncheck its not updating the property value.which is resulting me wrong .

I have a custom control, inherited from Button. This is the class definition for the control and 2 properties:
[Code]....
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:
[Code]....
The problem I have is with List<UserRol>. I couldn't get it to be rendered. I expeect to be rendered this way:
[Code]....
Finally, this is the TypeConverter and Editor definitions for the list:
[Code]....
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.
I have an ASCX that inherits from a WebControl that has a 'CustomConfiguration' property of type CollectionConfigurationItem. This configuration gets set elsewhere in the code, so by the time it gets to the ASCX it is set up to how I wish to use the data. At this point I'd like to render out another control using this configuration, like so:
<modules:DataModule runat="server" CustomConfiguration="<%# Model.CategoryListConfiguration %>" />
However, breaking into DataModule always results in 'CustomConfiguration' being null, which is the default value for the property. I've tried adding a Bindable attribute to the property but to no avail, and when I set an EventHandler for the DataBinding event on the DataModule it doesn't even get called.
How can I set this custom-class-typed property from the markup or, failing that what's the second-best method of getting this to work?
I need to create one custom text box control which should be bind with data base.
I am referring following link...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.databoundcontrol.aspx
I used DataBoundControl to create my control but i am not able to do it properly.
public class SimpleTextBoxControl : DataBoundControl
{
private TextBox nameTextBox;
public string DataTextField
{
get
{
object o = ViewState["DataTextField"];
return ((o == null) ? string.Empty : (string)o);
}
set
{
ViewState["DataTextField"] = value;
}
}
[
Bindable(true),
Category("Data"),
DefaultValue(""),
Description("The text to display on the link."),
Localizable(true),
PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerDefaultProperty)
]
public virtual string DataTexValue
{
get
{
string s = (string)ViewState["Text"];
return (s == null) ? String.Empty : s;
}
set
{
ViewState["Text"] = value;
}
}
protected override void PerformDataBinding(IEnumerable retrievedData)
{
if (retrievedData == null)
return;
base.PerformDataBinding(retrievedData);
Controls.Clear();
nameTextBox = new TextBox { ID = "nameTextBox" };
foreach (object dataItem in retrievedData)
{
if (DataTextField.Length > 0)
{
nameTextBox.Text = DataBinder.GetPropertyValue(dataItem, DataTextField, null);
}
DataTexValue = nameTextBox.Text;
}
this.Controls.Add(nameTextBox);
}
}
How would I add a (dropdown) list of available values for a custom server control property?
(Just like 'Visible' property of most controls has valid values of 'True/False' and nothing else can be entered or selected)
I have some (probably very basic) questions about developing custom controls. I am wanting to derive a set of button controls, and the first one I have started on is a "DeleteButton", that has a additional property (DeleteConfirmationText) that is built into the OnClientClick attribute. To get that added, I overrode the Render method as follows:
[Code]....
This all works well. Now, I will add some logic to make sure that there is some text in the DeleteConfirmationText property, but that isn't the intent of my question.
What I am also wanting to do is to override some of the default property values, so I added that to the default constructor:
[Code]....
Now, in the designer in VS2008, and I look at the properties for the control, there isn't a default value shown in the "Properties" section, and the Causesvalidation still shows the underlying classes default value of "True". As well, in design mode, where the GridView control that containse my DeleteButton control would be displayed, there is an error box "There was an error rendering the control. 'Are you certain you want to delete this attorney?' cound not be set on property 'DeleteConfirmationText'. Here's the markup where I am defining the deletebutton control:
[Code]....
What am I doing wrong?
In my user control i have the label1,textbox1 and dropdown1, i can able to set the values and get for both label and text box. but how can i set the value for the drop down.
from the aspx.cs or aspx.vb
i will set the object of the control (Ex: usercontrol1234)
usercontrol1234.propText="This is text box"
usercontrol1234.propLbl="This is Label "
Then how can i set for the drop down? i can bind the dropdown data either by dataset or datareader.But cannot able to figure out how to set the property?
[code]....
I know that how to create custom control and add custom property.
I want to create property like DataSource to my custom control.
I have the following class:
[Code]....
It was my expectation that by default, the Title property would be stored in ViewState, but this appears not to be the case - the exception in RenderBeginTag keeps getting thrown on postback.
Am I being thick? Do I need to explicitly store properties in ViewState?
I would like to create a property that uses the Visual Studio color picker (just like ForeColor and BackColor).It seems I need something like this:
[Editor(typeof(ColorTypeEditor),typeof(UITypeEditor)) ]
But I am not able to find the correct syntax.I tried it without an editor and returning the type "Color", but that just generates a dropdown with all of the known color names for the property. I would like the color picker to appear which allows you to see the colors and pick one.
i have created a new user control who contains a gridview so, my prolem now is that i want show all the property of the gridview included in the control, but i want not write like this:"Usercontrol1.GridView1.Datasource=...." but i want write "Usercontrol1.DataSource=..." and this also for other controls how can i do this?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating my first server control, and have it working where I can set up an enum and the user can set a property's choices, based off of that enum. But I'd like it to pull records from a database and populate the list of choices for the property from a database. This would allow me to add a new "Host System" to the database, and the other designers wouldn't have to get a new copy of the dll.

The built in Asp.Net Controls (label, Textbox, etc.) all have a CssClass property that can be set, what do I need to do to implement that for a Web User Control?
I know how to add a property and pass thru the get & set to the corresponding Asp.Net control (example if I have a label I know how to create a LabelCssClass property that provides a get & set, but the control itself how do I set a CssClass or ClassName property.

When i add this control to a page i set it's address with Address property. But it never sets it's address property like this :

When i try it like above, it always set address null. So it never goes to webpage that i want. It's result in the address bar always like this :
