I have created lots of UserControls, but never tried CustomControl.Recently i created a Photo Gallery UserControl using Listview & Visual LightBox.Now i want to publish it as CustomControl.Here is my UserControl's code :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="LightBoxGallery/css/vlightbox.css" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">
#vlightbox a#vlb
[code]...
I saw some CustomControls using a separated ascx file, it rendered the ascx file (the template) but all the code was in a dll (the control).How can I do that? Can someone post a Hello World example?
View 6 RepliesI'm building a product catalog which displays between 50/100 products per page.Since I want to have different browse sections on my site I've put each product into a UserControl. Well, not the products themselves ofcourse, but some labels, divs and images. I then set its properties in run-time when processing the database results. So the advantage is that I only have to change the product control at 1 place for the whole site. I'm putting the controls in a page using LoadControl in a loop.
However the pages are not loading quite as fast as other pages which process the same db query and output the same html using a StringBuilder. And since I want my site to perform well if/when it receives some decent traffic I'm worried about this. I haven't done any benchmarkings yet but I clearly see the difference. My questions to you is 'Are there any alternatives which are faster then using LoadControl with a customcontrol but are easily maintained (or atleast in 1 location)?'I was thinking of:
Creating a customcontrol (although I've never done it and don't know 100% if this will speed things up)Continue with the StringBuilder method and put the CreateProduct in my base class

I don't have the excact usercontrol code here but I will edit this post when I get home..but here is the simplified idea:
1) Getting my database result (using Subsonic 2.2 as my DAL)
DAL.ProductCollection coll = new DAL.ProductCollection();
if(coll.count > 0)
{
foreach(DAL.Product item in coll)[code]....
My usercontrol itselves just consists of 3 Literal controls and 1 Image control.
I want to design custom control with ListView and datapager that take Query - As Input PagingSize - As Input
This custom control is suppose to be use in different aspx reporting pages
I have a particular scenario and I would like to know how I can implement it in the most efficient way. I also have some queries related to this. The application is a AJAX 1.0-Enabled ASP.NET 2.0 Web application.
I have a link, which when clicked I need to show a pop-up div. The contents of the div will be displayed using a usercontrol. The usercontrol will display the contents based on a query string value.
I would like to know:
1. How can I implement this in the most effecient way. I don't want to use a separate page on which I will have the usercontrol and then display the page in the div.
2. Suppose I call a JS function ShowDiv() on the click of the link, to display the pop-up div. Say, I call the function this way ShowDiv('querystring'). Now how will I pass the value 'querystring' to my usercontrol.
I want to embed some image and java script file in usercontrol and extract them with code like this

i tried similar code that use this technique in custom controls , and it works ...
but i want use this technique in usercontrol ,
can any one put a sample source code or explain how can i use this technique in usercontrol ?
I created a customDropdown usercontrol with Events and It worked fine.
Now I stored the path of the ascx file in the database table and i want to Load the ascx file and handle the Events dynamically in an aspx page.
To Load the usercontrol and access the public properties and method, I need to know the object i am trying to load, right?
For Example
FeaturedDDL c = (FeaturedDDL)Page.LoadControl("~/FeaturedDDL.ascx").
But I dont want to hardcode objectType "FeaturedDDL", coz i dont have that stored in my Database field.
Since I am loading the usercontrol by getting the path and name of the usercontrol from the database table,how will I know the ObjectType at that time?
How to accomplish that and also how to handle the events for these type of situation?
I tried both, loading the usercontrol when needed and I also tried adding it directly into the aspx.
Nothing worked. With the second one (what's meant to be the easiest option) I tried with delegates and events (but can't access de usercontrol event from page) and tried with properties (I can access properties but they're always empty)
I have a user control that consistes of a dropdown menu, a label, a textbox and a button. It resides in a html table, what i would like to do is on a keypress, such as the "insert" key, i would like to add the same control again directly on the next row, I have used programs that do this, but for the life of me can't figure out how its done...

I'm working with a simple UserControl someone at my company created. It's basically just a DropDownList with a RequiredFieldValidator and some added properties (such as "Required", which controls the CSS styling of the DropDownList and whether the RequiredFieldValidator is Enabled or not).
Here is an example of the UserControl usage where a SqlDataSource is used to populate the ListItemCollection. I'm trying to specify an intial ListItem below (and would like the ability to add multilple ListItems if necessary) but can't seem to get this to work...
[Code]....
My code-behind looks as follows:
[Code]....
I've found several posts related to this but cannot seem to get the declarative ListItem to be added to the DropDownList.
I understand that using a WebControl is another option, but I'd like to learn how to get this method to work if possible.
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:
[Code]....
I have a DetailsView control bound to an ObjectDataSource within a User Control (.ascx). It appears that the DetailsView.OnDataBound event is being fired on every page load or postback.
I do not see this behavior with a similiar DetailsView directly placed on an aspx page.
when I add a custom usercontrol by code like this:
[Code]....
the compiler doesn't accept it at all...
how to access "custom usercontrol's properties" while the usercontrol itsef has been added programaticly by code.
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.
Hope this is the correct forum for this question. I am using VWD 2010 an have a web project and get the following error upon execution:
Parser Error Message: Unknown server tag 'custom:AjaxValidator'.
My code is as follows in the .cs file:

I have a ListView showing just a list of concatenated strings obtained from different field of the objects of the datasource.
A LinkButton (with CommandName="Edit") in each row Event handlers for OnItemDataBound and OnItemEditing
A UserControl in EditTemplate.
Now the problem is, I don't know how to use Bind expression in the UserControl. I mean, how to populate this usercontrol when the linkbutton is clicked? (I tried capturing the control in theOnItemEditing handler. But FindControl returned null, as that handler is called before going to edit mode.)
I am having trouble trying to access a UserControl I created and placed inside the EditTemplate of the ListView. How is it done? I've tried to access it at the ListView's ItemDataBound, ItemEditing and Databound with the following code with no luck:
ucEditTask = DirectCast(lvTimeEntry.FindControl("ucEditTask"), UserControl)
I have on my Page a Label control and custom UserControl. I want that, when something appears in the UserControl, it shoud change e.g the Label's Text property (as I mentioned, the Label doesn't belong to the UserControl). How to do that ?
View 4 RepliesI have a custom server control inheriting from CompositeControl. It consists of two RadioButtonlist controls that are rendered side by side in an html table. The number of ListItems in each RadioButtonList is not known until runtime. Depending on how many items each list contains, the RepeatColumns property of each list is set differently. To do this in the handler for the ItemDataBound event I need to get the count of ListItems in each RadioButtonList. How do I expose the Items.Count property of each internal RadioButtonList as a top-level property? I tried using a getter to return the count but this generates a compile-time error to the effect that the count cannot be assigned to--even though I have not created a setter.
Similarly, in the handler for the Submit event, I need to get the ClientID of each internal RadioButtonList to pass to a method that checks for data changes. How do I expose the ClientID of each component RadioButtonList as a top-level property?
I can of course index the Controls collection of the composite control to access the child control and read its properties--but that defeats the whole point of making a complex, independent custom server control.
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 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
View 1 RepliesI 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

My page code on page load event

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.
View 3 RepliesHow 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)
