Custom Server Controls :: Button Triggering An Event In A Custom Webcontrol?
Nov 16, 2010
I built a webcontrol showing a complex user interface with a lot of javascript. Basically my webcontrol is similar to : [URL]
Now that most the user interface is working properly, I'm stuck with the following issue: I want to add a button (html button tag) which has to trigger an event. I have been able to declare the event, the event args, the delegate,etc. The page using my control may assign a handler and that handler is called correctly when I explicitely call OnServerControlClick (The name I gave to the event). I cannot make the link between the button in the user interface and the event in the webcontrol source code. When the button is clicked, I get an error message saying a dangerous Request.Form value has been detected.
For test purposes I have created a simple button control that extends CompositeControl. I am able to place it on the page with a <asp:Content... and the Click event Bubbles without problem from the Control.
Now, here is the problem I am facing Due to design requirement I need to read the assembly and the classname from a table and dynamically create the control and add it to the <asp:Content. And when I do that the click event will not fire! Where am I going wrong.
Here is the code in the ButtonControl.cs namespace Reports.Web.ServerControls { [DefaultProperty("Text")] [ToolboxData("<{0}:ButtonControl runat=server></{0}:ButtonControl>")] public class ButtonControl : CompositeControl { protected override void CreateChildControls() { Button btn = new Button();
I am creating a custom control by inheriting a server control, say LinkButton. There are properties like "BorderColor" available in LinkButton. Let's say, I don't want this particular property to be available when I create an instance of the custom control.
I want to completely hide this particular property (I don't want to override it but disable it.)
I'm creating a custom ASP.Net GridView and I want to be able to alter the __EVENTARGUMENT value but I can't figure out how to capture the returned value on the server side.
I'm creating the ability to have a collapsible representation, so the first level is the standard GridView and I will insert additional rows via JavaScript if they expand the first level row.
My problem is how to create a link on the selecond level rows that posts back with custom data.
I'm new to .NET. I'm trying to create a button dynamically with event by original button. The original button's click event response creates a button. The new button has a click event attached with a test message.What I have to do is onclick change background color of dynamically created button and grab id value to delete when button delete is clicked. Unfortunately, when I click the dynamically attached button, nothing happens.
I have a base server control class for all my user controls. Inside this class I have the following declaration:
[Code]....
Concrete user controls used in the application are used always inside a ModalPopupExtender object and the popup it is always handled with server-side code. This means that there are no controls binded to the OkControlID and CancelControlID properties of the ModalPopupExtender.
The responsibility to show the Modal Popup is then given to the aspx that has code like this in the ASPX file...
[Code]....
To hide the modal Popup the aspx just implement the event handler
[Code]....
Last, the event firing is responsibility of the concrete UserControl class that can use any way to do it's work and then fire teh event. This is done through this code:
[Code]....
The problem I am facing to is that in the OnItemSaved of the super class the ItemSaved EventHandler is always null and so the event it's never fired on the aspx page. Where am I doing wrong?
I come from the Windows forms side and started using ASP.NET. I have not found how to use event handlers properly.Basically I want to create a shopping cart web control. When a purchase has been made I want to raise an event with products in the purchase. I would like to have the shared/static event and delegate on the web control and then, maybe in Global.asax (if not possible elsewhere) handle that event.
How can I do this? It seems I cannot access objects from other pages/controls.
I am trying to build a custom composite control, which allows me to add custom content to each child control. It's a similar concept to what you have with a GridView and TemplateColumn. The markup used to place the control on the page would end up being something like this:
[Code]....
I have the code below, which allows me to put that markup on the page without throwing any errors, and it renders all the correct HTML, except it doesn't render the contents of the ColumnTemplate. I have replaced the Render() code with a comment because it's quite long winded and doesn't add anything important here:
[Code]....
I have tried to follow examples on MSDN and other forums but I can't make this work. I think I'm missing the code to render the contents of the template, but I don't know how to hook that up.
I am having a problem where my button click event is still firing even though my custom server-side validation is set to args.IsValid = false. I am debugging through the code and the validation is definitely being fired before the button click, and args.IsValid is definitely being set to false once the custom validation takes place, but it always makes its way to the button click event afterwards.
i am new to technology so go easy on this post according to what i read from web there are 3 type of custom server controls 1 superclass2 composite 3 renderedi found video tutorial for superclass custom server control but couldnt find video tutials for other 2.lease forward me link for composite and rendered custom server controls video tutorial
I am creating custom server control. I have two classes in project. One is main class that render control and another will be used to render content based on condition.I just want to know how to render content from other classes in main class.For example. This isjust an example.My main class code
[Code]....
My TopLeftPane class
[Code]....
My page code on page load event
[Code]....
When I run the page, Header title always getting null. This is a just sample code. I will have more than 20 classes so I dont want to write a code in main class to render whole control.I hope all of you understand my problem.
I have to use inline code for an aspx page and I need to use a custom server control that is defined in the same aspx page but the control does not get processed as a server control. it gets returned as is as static html tag.
I am creating a custom server control, and I am wanting to include a JavaScript file in the dll file when the control is built. I have tried suggestions from the following websites:[URL] But after following the directions, If I use firebug to see what errors show up, the JavaScript functions that are being called all say "goNext is not defined" which leads me to believe the JavaScript file is not being added correctly.
Some information on what my control looks like
I have the JavaScript File in a folder called Script. The namespace of the project is CustomControl, and the Name of the project is MaskedDateTextbox.
is it posible to add client side functionality to a custom server control in vb.net?i am looking at msdn library and there is no code for vb :/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa719700%28v=VS.71%29.aspxI fount this on MSDN Library Adding Client Capabilities to a Web Server ControlWhat i'm trying to do is to add some client functionality to my control, so that you can get or set some properties/values on client side. From the above link i see that this is doable with Ajax Server Control, but i don't have it, i have Custom Server Control. Can i do this with Custom Server Control and how?
I've build a custom server control inheriting from WebControl. Basically it is a kind of button. All is working perfectly except one thing: the PostBackUrl is inoperative.
I probably forgot to implement something. Actually I just added the property PostBackUrl. Probably I should also implement an interface of call something.
I have a page which holds a custom webcontrol and a usercontrol. I need to reference of webcontrol in usercontrol class. So, I make the declaration of webcontrol as public in page class. But, when I do "this.Page.", I don't see the webcontrol listed in list provided by intellisense. Most probably, I am missing something.
In an asp.net page, how to get a reference of a custom webcontrol from a usercontrol?
