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 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 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.)
My code is as follows:

How to create a custom control and REGISTER IT AND WHERE TO INSERT A CODE IN IT FOR AN EXISTING WEB SITE?
View 4 RepliesI 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.
I want to create a map control which will be a server side control.I want to have it as a tool in the toolbox. The above control will contain providers that will fetch maps from the following sources:
1) WMS
2) Oracle Spatial DB
3) Google
4) MS Virtual earth.
How to create the providers for the different map sources? Then I hav to create different screens which will take the parameters and send them to the map preoviders. The map providers will send the generated map to a map control (could be a active X control) or something else. The map control should also be capable of performing standard functions like pan,zoom etc. Pls give some idea as well as source code on how to start with it.
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.
Within an existing ASP.NET page I've created the following layout, which is a tabbed header and content area. When the tabs are clicked (using JQuery) I show the relevant content, and hide all the other content for that respective tab, like so...
I'd like to expand this functionality to make it into a User Control, so that I could re-use the code more easily. Once the control is created, I'd like to be able to use it like this:[Code]....
where I can start learning how to do this, or offer direct help on the code? I've read many tutorials for creating controls using existing controls (e.g. custom labels etc) but they are all too simple. With the above, do I need to create a ContentArea control first, then work onto the TabbedControl? How do I get ASP.NET to render out the contents of my ContentArea (including ASP.NET controls that are contained within it)?
I need to develop control (template or user) which must have subtags with some items.
For example :
<SomeControl runat="server" id="scTest">
<column1>TestColumn1</column1>
<column1>TestColumn1</column1>
<column1>TestColumn1</column1>
</SomeControl>
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'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

ASPX Page

here's a situation and I would appreciate your response.
I have programmatically created the Wizard control:
Page_Load(obj s, evargs e)
{
Wizard ClaimDetailWizard = new Wizard();
foreach(int item in selectedItems)
{
//create new step
//added custom control to new step
//add step to wizard
}
//added wizard to a placeholder on a page
}
Based on List I get from Session i added new steps to my wizard To each step I had added a custom control
Each custom control in tern contains another custom Gridview Control in it.
So here's the problem when the page loads for example for two steps. All is good Wizard does what it's supposed to do.
But when I try to use sorting or paging in that custom Gridview. Somehow it displays the gridview I should see in the next step of the wizard.
Also what I'm noticing through debugging. Is that when I press next in the wizard I go back to the original page where I do all of the code specified above, and it recreates the wizzard. But it goes to the next step. Is this the way wizard supposed to work? Just doesn't seem very efficient.
I have been searching a lot about how to create custom server control also creating controls like some third party controlsbut i cant find any resource regarding that, most of the links explained only basic things with custom label,hypher link like that but i wish to learn bit advanced including fundamental concepts.so can any one show me the link/ebook about concepts behind building a re-usable control (properties and property grid integration in VS/VWD, event handlers, rendering, design-time UI, default tag-prefix and naming, toolbox icon, etc)
View 2 RepliesI 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.
What am I doing wrong?
I have 3 pages in each page there is a portion of page where it is common in all these three pages.Thought of making the common stuff as a separate control either User control/Custom control.Any suggestions on which one should i use custom/user control
View 2 RepliesI 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.)
View 8 Repliesi've created a webform with one gridview having connected with the database using datasource. i.e password database with three colomn .
now want to insert the custom dropdown button using server control for each column.
when i select the dropdown list the list should display the value as required.
e.g if i click the uname dropdownlist then it should show the list of names.
if i click on pwd dropdownlist then it should show the list of numbers.
if i select any one of the value in the dropdown list then it should insert into the
database.
can i get code on this type of question...?

I wanted to make a simple data-entry web application, thinking Dynamic Data would save me time.
But it turns out that the GridView doesn't even support basic user interface scenarios such as inserting a new row.
Since the project I'm building will incorporate this scenario a lot, I'm considering creating my own grid-view control that does exactly what I need.
Is it difficult to develop a web control that supports dynamic data? Are there a lot of complicated hooks that rely on closed-source functionality in the .NET framework?
Or is it as simple as making the control data-bindable and having a DataSourceObject property?
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:

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).
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.
