I am trying to render control(ComboBox) programmatically, and i am getting error that tell me that i have to add ScriptManager to the page.
But, i did that, and still its not working:
[Code]....
And the render control html is:
protected override void Render( System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer )
Why custom Gridview control not render html properlies under <Columns> properly in Visual Studio 2005?
For example:
[code]....
In a nutshell, I need to be able to take a control(textbox, for example) that is a child control of the page object, for example, and make it the child control of a panel and make the panel a child control of the page object in the same place the textbox previously resided.

Now, How can I Parse it and render it in RenderContent method ? !!!
The following method is always throw the first Exception, it means this.Controls is always empty !!! How can I do it and how I can access to the nested children in RenderControl method ?
public class Menu : WebControl
{
....
public override void RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
if (!this.HasControls())
throw new Exception("Controls are empty");
....
}

I have a server control that I developed which generates navigation based on a third party CMS API. Currently I am caching this control using the PartialCaching attribute. The CMS uses cache key dependencies to invalidate the cache when a user makes an edit, however in the case of my server control it does not get invalidated and the updated navigation will not show up until the cache expiration set by the PartialCaching attribute.Here is my two part question:
What is the proper way to programmatically cache a server control, without using the PartialCaching attribute, and adding a cache key dependency?
Is it possible to continue to use the PartialCaching attribute and add a cache key dependency?
I have a server control which consists of a gridview with custom navigation&information capabilities and with javascript functions to highlight the selected grid items or highlight when mouse over event occurs.. (full tested outside asp:wizard)I'm trying to use that server control inside a template wizard step, when I drop such server control in the first step of the wizard everything goes ok.
When I insert even a blank step previous to the step which contains the server control, the javasript code of the server control is not rendered at all, the page doesn't fail during load but until I go with mouse over an item of the grid for instance.When I check the rendered HTML I can see no HTML, nor javascript events of this server control where rendered, neither the implementation nor calls to javascript, but even rarer what is there visible in the grid for ie, even the other components of the server control, are not in the "view source code" content. I seems it was sent to the client, even showed, but truncated in some phase..
I am creating a custom server control in which I place a RequiredFieldValidator. In the the Render method and I want to dynamically create a RequiredFieldValidator and render it to the HtmlTextWriter.
The problem is, when I call RenderControl on the RequiredFieldValidator, it only generates a span for me with no javascript or client side code.
How can I completely render a RequiredFieldValidator to an HtmlTextWriter?
I am rendering custom control. I rendered the css file on the prerender. When i rendered more than one control in the aspx page, the css will loaded the number of times the controls in the page. I want to load the css file only one time. How to check the webresource css file on rendering whether it is loaded or not.
View 1 RepliesI have a control that displays a list of comments. The comments are created in a loop. The problem is that I want to put a LinkButton at the end of each comment and change the CommanArgument of each button to the ID of the current comment.
When I put the Linkbutton in the CreateChildControls method and then add the CommandArgument in the Render loop, the button works, but the argument is blank. When I put the code that's in the CreateChildControls method inside of the loop, I don't get an error, but nothing happens when the button is clicked.
Below is the relevent code ...

I am creatin a server control where some controls are being rendered inside `protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)`
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Type, "button");
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Id, this.UniqueID + "butto_Foo1");
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Value, "Button1");
writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Input);
writer.RenderEndTag(); //button
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Type, "button");
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Id, this.UniqueID + "butto_Foo2");
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Value, "Button2");
writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Input);
writer.RenderEndTag(); //button
This way buttons are rendered on design view as well. The problem is that number of buttons to render is dynamic based on data in xml file (even if the data was static, the number of button is about 12 and I don't think it is wise to copy paste the same code above 6 times...). I thought by using loop for that:
int i = 1;
foreach (Button button in tb.Items)
{
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Type, "button");
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Id, this.UniqueID + "butto_Foo" + i);
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Value, button.ButtonValue);
writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Input);
writer.RenderEndTag(); //button
i++;
}
tb is defined in OnLoad; On run time it works, but on design time I get error: > Error rendering control. And control is not being rendered.
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:

I have extended a gridview to add an additional header with following two hyperlink controls "Select All" and "Clear All". These will operate on checkboxes in the data rows of the grid. I hide the column headers as I only want to show one column with checkboxes and "Select/Clear All" links. Everything is working as expected. Now, I wanted to add a scrollbar to my grid control, I did add the scroll bar using div but what it does is, it includes the "Select All and Clear All" links aswell. I only need to add the scrollbar to datarows and not to the header.I am trying to extend my control to include hte scrollbar by adding div during Render function. But how will I determine or loop through header rows? How will i get the header row with hyperlinks that I created above?? In Render if I do this.HeaderRow, it gets the original column header and not the custom header.
View 1 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.
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.

View 1 RepliesI've build a custom WebControl, which has the following structure:
<gws:ModalBox ID="ModalBox1" HeaderText="Title" runat="server">
<Contents>
<asp:Label ID="KeywordLabel" AssociatedControlID="KeywordTextBox" runat="server">Keyword: </asp:Label><br />
<asp:TextBox ID="KeywordTextBox" Text="" runat="server" />
[Code]....
However it seems to render properly, it doesn't work anymore if I add some asp.net labels and input controls inside the property (see above asp.net code). I'll get the HttpException:
Unable to find control with id 'KeywordTextBox' that is associated with the Label 'KeywordLabel'.
Somewhat understandable, because the label appears before the textbox in the controlcollection. However, with default asp.net controls it does work, so why doesn't this work? What am I doing wrong? Is it even possible to have two control collections in one control? Should I render it differently?
created a Custom Textbox Control that is intended to be a "masked date" textbox, so that I can handle different ways a user might enter in a date and make it work no matter what.I did this by creating a custom control with 3 separate Textboxes one for month,one for day one for year,then do some handling for different things that could be entered and it would all work.
The problem I am having is,when I add this control to the page,if I do an alert to check the Text value of the custom control it just gives me "[ServerControl1]" even if I enter in a date.
I tried doing an AutoPostback after entering so that it would refesh the Viewstate to have the values of the textboxes but the control doesnt seem to actually postback, even though I have it enabled.accessing the Textbox value after someoen
has entered a date?first custom control I have created and have been using google.

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 RepliesI 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 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 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 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.
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)
