Custom Rendering Logic On Server Side + MVC + Ajax?
May 18, 2010
I have some rendering logic for custom markup (a'la bbcode, but not bbcode). So that when I'm getting the stuff from DB I'm then calling MyRender.ToHTML(model.text)... Now what I do today is I just have a form below and I do a post and add the item and return the same view. My question is - how to do it with ajax? Should I create a control and return HTML a'la winforms? Is that sexy? How do you do something like that? Or should I drop it? Maybe duplicate the rendering logic with javascript?
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'm using DataAnnotations as well as server-side validation logic.
Is there a way to show DataAnnotation's client-side validation errors in the ValidationSummary, as it shows when returning from server validation?
I know I can use ValidateMessage and ValidateMessageFor next to elements, but the spacial design of the form I'm working with doesn't allow for anything other than highlighting the HTML element, however, I would still like to have a message saying what's wrong.
If I place ValidateFor's alongside ValidationSummary in order to mimic a ValidationSummary during client-side validation, they both appear when returning from a failed server side validation.
Is there a way to assign/pass/copy a javascript variable to a server side variable in C#? For the sake of argument, let's say that I was able to parse some JSON for variables that I want to store and assign them on the client (ie. var = FirstName and var = 25 and var = someDateTime, etc) .
I have a simple HttpHandler that generates a dynamic image based on query string parameters and a custom web control that renders an image tag pointing to the handler as its 'src' attribute. All works fine when run in the web server, but at design timethe control displays as the "missing image" icon (red x in a box). The handler is registered in the web.config with a ".ashx" extension. The RenderContents method in the control looks like this:
I am trying to render the Button control @ serverside with PostBackUrl properties to set to another page ""~/page1.aspx". When I click on that button , it still postback to same page , does not postback to "page1.aspx" . I am trying to implement crosspage postback. I don't know button information and postbackurl info at design time. I Only know button and PostbackUrl info @ runtime.Code I am using
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { div1.InnerHtml = GetRenderControl(); } public string GetRenderControl() { Button buttonAdd = new Button();
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 been trying to get a custom validator component working that ensures at least one checkbox from a checkboxlist has been checked. I've been used some code I found on dotnetjunkies.com but the client-side validation didn't work. I've been attempting to modify it to get the client-side javascript validation to work with no luck. Basically, I compile the below code into a DLL and add it to my bin folder.
I currently have a file "abc.htm" in my Custom Server Control Project and it's Build Action is set to Embedded Resource.Now in the RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output) method, I need to read that file and render it on the website.I am trying the following but it's to no avail:
protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output) { var providersURL = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(typeof (OpenIDSel), "OpenIDSelector.Providers.htm"); var fi = new FileInfo(providersURL); // <- exception here //the remaining code is to possibly render the file }
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'?
The method GetDesignTimeHtml of the ControlDesigner class should return html markup that will be shown on the page in design time. My problem is that control looks different in different versions of the visual studio. What is the rendering engine visual studio use to render control in design mode?
I know that I can receive an javascript object from the server via ASP.NET AJAX using Json. But I am not sure how can I send an javascript object from my client-side javascript to my server-side code. And if I can, how can I extract this object in my server-side code and access its members?
I reordered some items in a listbox using Javascript. When I read the items in a postback in the code behind (ASP.NET), the order is in the original order. How do I get the same order as shown in the screen after Javascript manipulation?
I m using site login Control in my login.ascx file and disaplaying login control in Div so if there is login link in page and i click on that then Login Div will popup which is site login.May i know how can handle error like username or password is incorrect on client side instead server side?
in a form i have a buttoin, when click both OnclientClick and postback should happen. on clicking the "Email" button a client side "mailto" tag should do the work and pull a new message window on the client's machine.
whereas, the email addresses should be invoked by the post back. so , when clicking the button the server side post should happen and on return the client side script should be invokded with the values read during post back, and populate all the email addresses.
i need know how to first do a server hit take the values and then execute the client script with those values without using AJAX
I am calling server side methids from client side using PageMethods. Can those methods return value back to client side. If yes then how and if no then how can that be achieved? refer to my code below.
I am using VS2010 and .NET4 for a web app. I have a script manager/update panel that has a couple of grids.
The client just leaves the page opens and views an updated grid every 30 seconds or so.
I want to refresh the grid by calling the server side method to load the grid, but not load the whol page using meta refresh or similar (too much screen flicker and unnecessary bandwith).
Is it possible to set some timer using javascript or something and call a specific server method to refresh controls?
I want to do something a little bit tricky here. I want to call a server side fonction from the javascript. I know it can be done but I get some errors. This is my Javascript fonction where I want to call the server side fonction:
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.
I have been trying to implement an extended GridView that eventually will include a panel with a number of filter options outside of the grid iteself.
As a test I have added a dropdownlist and a linkbutton but when these are rendered to the page they are rendered as plain HTML with none of the javascript or ids that are generated for server controls as a consequence the postback event is not fired when a dropdownlist item changes and the linkbutton is rendered as plain text.
