Custom Server Controls :: Embedding Css - User Can't Use Styles
Nov 15, 2010
I've been trying to find a solution to compiling css and images into the dll file for distribution, but I haven't found anything good about it. The reason is pretty simple:
1. If the user doesn't use styles, it'll look like...manure ;)
2. If they don't use images, the shadowing effects will be gone
I will add features for changing the styles, but I would like to have a fall-back. If you don't have any ideas about the css, I can write it directly in style attributes instead of using classes, but classes are preferrable.
i am making a custom server control. I have embedded images and javascript in class library.But images are not displaying when i use that control in aspx page.my code is
I have a new control in which I have successfuly embedded some javascript to the assembly as a WebResource as well as a CSS file which has background images. I cannot get the image files referenced by the CSS to render.Is this possible?I have entered some of the images as Web resources and embedded them but they still are not rendering
I'm working on a project in which i added an user control. I put some css effect in it and a also added a dropdown. When i run the application the effects are working but when i change the dropdown values the css effects will lost somehow.
I'm new to all of this, so go easy on me. This should be an easy one. I have created a custom SmartContentBlock user control for a CMS.The control works, but only if I invoke the Fill() function in the Page_init event in the codebehind of the ASPX page. My goal is to modify the class file so that the Fill() in the codebehind is no longer neccesary. So, for reference, here's the gist of the current situtation.Controls.cs
I've embedded multiple user controls into the same page. The user controls typically have 2 different views, an edit/default view and a completed view. When the user completes an edit then I switch the MultiView to the completed state. This pattern works okay in pages.
The problem is when I go back to the master view/page then the user brings back the control, the view is still in the completed state.
What are some simple methods for resetting/correcting the multiview state? I could have a Reset() function on every control but it feels like I may be able to avoid that.
Update:
This page is designed to show an account/profile view and it has the following parts:
<asp:MultiView> ...read only view <asp:EmailEditView> <asp:AccountEditView>
etc..
And then each of those views has a user control. Inside the user control, we have something like this
I've found the following problems with this design:
When the user completes an action of user control such as changing an email. The view stays in the finished state even when they go back to it a second time. When the user goes back to the original form the data is stale. This design really screws with the postback mechanism. If I don't use !IsPostBack on the main form for databding then my dropdownlist on the sub forms will not work. However, once I add the !isPostBack on the main form then the data becomes stale.
I can add a "reset" flag to every user control and add something like this
if ((!IsPostback) || (reset) )
As well as resetting the view. In the other scenario, I can add an event handler to load the reload/bind the data when the user clicks "back", i.e where I change the form back.
I have a user control (ascx file) that contains an interface for users to change the data retrieved from the db. So, I am displaying data and most of this data can be edited by the user. When the user enters text into a textbox, and clicks "Save Changes", the value they typed in is lost and not persisted to the database. I realize now this is because the SaveChanges button does a postback, and the user control gets reloaded with its original valuesbefore the code within my SaveChanges button gets executed. I'm not sure if there are properties I need to set to save the input data, or if I need to write my own code to do it. What is the generally accepted method to do this? (Also, all of the controls in the ascx file are wrapped in an Update Panel.)
I have an user control inside an UpdatePanel. Once an event is triggered and updates the user control - it seems to lose its css styles. This happened to me in IE8 only, while in Chrome and FF it was fine.
A user control for example:
[Code]....
In Chrome and FF it seems to be working as expected (button click causes current time to display in the user control, nothing else happens), but in IE8 the div inside the user control loses its styles (background color, borders). What could be causing this problem, and what can be done to prevent it?
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.
This control may contain some other web server controls such as GridView.I need explanation of experienced developers, how to do that - take me to the right way
I have created a user control and am ready to convert it into a custom control. I am trying to follow:
[URL] the steps mentioned in the link.
I am not seeing Build / Publish Web Site option.
I am using VS 2008. I only see Publish User Control but it doesn't give all the settings mentioned below. When I do publish user control, it just copies the ascx file to the desired location. how can I convert the user control to custom control.
I have the following list of fonts:I have no issues with using them vianew Font("XXXX Sans", 21, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Pixel)However, what do i do when i need to use a non-standard font style like light? All that is provided is an enumeration and that is not suitable.
I have been searching to find a way to convert .docx word
documents into html pages, which is fine there are loads of tools to do this. What I want to do however is extract content and apply our custom style for our website, For EG: we have a custom style for the UL Tags and tables to style them in line with our website. Is this possible to do during the conversion process or does it have to be done afterwards?
I want to create user control that can be added on other site.
here is the scenario.In my web site reservations can be done for restaurants. I want to provide user interface for reservation in restaurant owner's web site. When user goes to restauarants site he can reserve the slot through my site.

I have been trying to create a custom Styles select button for the HTMLEditor control based on the examples given in the CustomButtonsAndPopups.cs and CustomEditor.cs files. I have had some success: The select button is displayed and the functionality of selecting a style (eg. H1, H2, P etc) and changing the style of selected text works but there are two problems that make it different from the Font Name select button: There is no label next to the button and there is no default text:
The style button is on the left. The Font Name select button is on the right
how to add the label and the default option?
Here is my version of the CustomButtonsAndPopups.cs file:
i'm developing a webusercontrol, that has very properties, properties are of custome types (not primitive), so i want user can edit properties in grid property. i want something like gridview here is a portion of my code:
I am using two user controls in my page. The controls are loaded dynamically one at a time. I'm just referencing the user controls in the page and loading them dynamically using 'LoadControl()'. Everything is working fine till now and the user can switch the controls one another.
Here the issue I found is eventhough the controls are working as expected and the data is visible, the rendered HTML contains only the first loaded user control's markup.
Even if the current control displayed is 'usercontrol2', the source shows 'usercontrol1' markup. How can I force the page to render 'usercontrol2' markup and remove 'usercontrol1' markup while loading'usercontrol2'?
I reference a user control in my ListView in this manner:
[Code]....
The problem is that the #Bind command doesn't update the database, but it does so when I paste the code directly into the aspx page (in other words, without the user control involved).
I am new to asp.net programming. While working with windows form(windows application) i have created a window for editing purpose(just like popup window ) which contains three bounded dropdown list a button and a gridview. After making selections from the drop down when we press button the corresponding result should display in a grid.After that when you click on the grid row it will load the corresponding datas in my form. i want to create such control in asp.net . i have to use jquery or ajax. And this pop up window i have to use more than twenty times in my application.am using VS2008 ASP.NET and C# 3.5.
I want to create a completely new control instead of extending an existing one. I have found a few articles on the net, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I've created Custom User controls in Win Forms before and thought it would be somewhat the same in ASP.NET, but it does not seem so. Many articles talk about a Web Control Library template which doesn't seem to be available when creating a New Project, but is available when adding a New item to an existing ASP.NET forms project in VS2008.
I have extended control by using the ASP.NET Server Control template. But all you get with is a .cs file. How do design a brand new control with that?What I want is to create a control from scratch, with postback functionality, and that compiles to a DLL. Am I going about this all wrong? Should I rather be looking at the ASP.NET Server Control Project Template? If so, How do I create a brand new control with the ASP.NET Server Control?I'm working with VS2008 SP1, .net 3.5, and C#.
I have a web user control that represents a simple message box. It is used to display simple messages like "Item has been deleted", or "The item was saved successfully".
On the other hand, I have another web user control that represents the item in the form of an editable form (I made this a user control because this is used in two different pages). I want to embed an instance of the message box user control inside the editable form. I am writing this right after the @Control directive:
[Code]....
Instead of using @Register directives, I register the user controls in web.config and so far this has worked just fine.
With the above markup, the project compiles, but whenever I try to navigate to a page that contains this construct, I get an HttpParseException exception. Furthermore, Visual Studio states that the tack w7rc9:MessageBox doesn't represent a known control.
