I'm doing some databinding inside a ListView ItemTemplate, but I suspect this is a problem for any databinding/template situation. I want to write something like:
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hidPositionID" Value="<%#Eval("PositionID") %>" />
But I get a YSOD with an error message that the server tag is not well formed. How do I persist non-visible data inside my ListViewItem?
I am trying to insert dynamic data into a onclick property for a control the code looks like this
onclick="openRadWindow('<%#Eval("ID";) %>','<%#Eval("ParentObjectID") %>');"
I cant get it to fire and the trouble seems to be the double quotes, what is the correct method on escaping the quotes so that this fires.
In my program, I want to make database connectivity, but when i write a connection string, complier says that it is unrecognized escape sequence(which is bolded in the following string), the string is :
Data Source=HIMANSHUSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Himanshu;Integrated Security=True
I have data that I am trying to read in from a .csv file. Some of my fields however have their own commas. For instance my file may look like:
Name, City, Country
And my data may have:
Walmart, New York, USA
"My store, and more", New York, USA
If you look at the second row of my data you will notice the first field has a comma in it: "My Store, and more".
It is surrounded by double quotes to distinguish that the field includes the comma, but when I read it into a table in MSSQL it splits that field into two. How do I tell MSSQL to leave everything in the double quotes as one field?
I'm new to writing custom ASP.NET server controls, and I'm encountering the following issue:
I have a control that inherits from System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl. I override the control's Render method, use the HtmlTextWriter to emit some custom HTML (basically a TD tag with some custom attributes), and then call the case class' Render method.
Using the control:
<dc:Header id="header1" runat="Server" DataColumn="MemberNumber" Width="30%">Member Number</dc:Header >
The problem is that when I view my rendered HTML, the server tag is emitted to the client as well (right after the TD tag):
<dc:Header id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_testData1_testData1_header1">Member Number</dc:Header>
How do I prevent this from happening?
i have created a aspx page with the script manager, update panels and so on. Now, when i use some jquery functions which are included inside the head tags, when the page is run, i find the script tags generated inside the body instead of the head tag. i'm using visual studio 2005 only.
View 2 RepliesI am building a forum and I want to use forum-style tags to let the users format their posts in a limited fashion.Currently I am using Regex to do this.As per this question:How to use C# regular expressions to emulate forum tags. The problem with this,is that the regex does not distinguish between nested tags.Here is a sample of how I implemented this method:
public static string MyExtensionMethod(this string text){return TransformTags(text);}
private static string TransformTags(string input)
{string regex = @"[([^=]+)[=x22']*(S*?)['x22]*](.+?)[/(1)]";
MatchCollection matches = new Regex(regex).Matches(input);
for (int i = 0; i < matches.Count; i++)
var tag = matches[i].Groups[1].Value;
var optionalValue = matches[i].Groups[2].Value;
var content = matches[i].Groups[3].Value;
Now,if I submit something like [quote] This user posted [quote] blah [/quote] [/quote] it does not properly detect the nested quote.Instead it takes the first opening quote tag and puts it with the first closing quote tag.Do you guys recommend any solutions?Can the regex be modified to grab nested tags?Maybe I shouldn't use regex for this?
I want get the last 3 tags that added to the db. My Tag table schema is:
TBL TAG:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblTag](
[TagId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Header] [nvarchar](200) NULL,
[IsActive] [tinyint] NULL DEFAULT ((0)),
[Ordered] [int] NOT NULL DEFAULT ((1)),
[Language] [nvarchar](5) NULL,
[DateTime] [smalldatetime] NULL,
[Official] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
[LastUpdate] [datetime] NULL,
[Locked] [tinyint] NULL,
[LastUpdateUser] [nvarchar](256) NULL,
[NumViews] [bigint] NULL,
[AllUserModified] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_tblTag] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[TagId] ASC
)
My TagtoMoudule table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbl_Module_Tag](
[AutoId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ModuleId] [int] NOT NULL,
[ItemId] [int] NOT NULL,
[TagId] [int] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
I want get the last 3 items in the tbl_Module_Tag but with no duplicate value, get uniq tags For exemple If the data the query "select tagid from tbl_Module_Tag order by autoid desc" return this values..........
Some of my servercontrols dont need ID's (i never need to access them from codebehind), removing them is rendering fine without comlaints. Is this ok?
why im dont want IDs? im using a .resx for different languages and from what I understand these must tied to a server control. And im tired of comming up with new pointless unique names. Also the these ID's gets insanly long as clientID.
I have a (image button)
<asp:ImageButton
ID="ImageButton1"
runat="server"
ImageUrl="../Images/checkout/Proceed_To_Checkout_Button.png"
onclick="top.location='<%=string.Format("MyAccount.aspx?action=new&returnUrl={0}",
Web.ProcessFlow.Common.QueryString(Request.QueryString["returnUrl"]))%>'"
/>
I get this error when I push the button:
Server tags cannot contain <% ... %> constructs.
I have tried <# too
it didn't help.
Morning all I have frequently used the old
<asp:Label ID="lblWas" runat="server" Text='<%# XPath("FACEVALUE") %>'></asp:Label>
This type of thing. when I first came across it I loved it, i'm using it again today but not quite so simply. I have a number of extra things I would like to achieve.
Apply formatting to the value. Like Text='<%# string.Format(XPath("FACEVALUE"), "{0:c}") %>'>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkBook" runat="server" PostBackUrl='/THEATRE/' + XPath("FACEVALUE")>Book</asp:LinkButton>
For option number 2 the URL is not as I would expect, and for number 1 I cannot get the syntax correct if it's even possible.
I have not been able to find something suitable in google. Hopefully what I am trying to achieve is obvious from the example :)
I want to use some server tags in OnClientClick of LinkButton
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnID" OnClientClick='<%# "window.open('SomePage.aspx?Id=" + Eval("reqID") + "');" %>' runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("reqID")%>'>
</asp:LinkButton>
how to write this, it is giving the error that Server tags are not well formed.So how to write this correctly?
Quick question here. I'm sure it's possilbe, just can't get it to work.
I've got a gridview. In have a gridview. The gridview is bound to a list of my custom class. The class exposes a link to an image as well as the image's height and width. I have a Image Control in the gridview. I've bound the Image Url to the correct property. Now, I'd like to bind the height and width properties as well. But everytime I do that I get the following error:
Cannot create an object of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit' from its string representation '"<%#Bind("GetImageHeight()")%' for the 'Height' property.
Here is an example of the tag:
<asp:Image runat="server" ID="imgProduct" ImageUrl='<%#Bind("ImageUrl")%>'
Height="<%#Bind("GetImageHeight()")%>" Width="<%#Bind("GetImageWidth()")%>">
</asp:Image>
[code]....
Is there a way to apply your own CSS tags to <li> tags when using ASP .NET 4.0 menu control? For example, say I have an external style sheet that has tags "class1", "class2", "class3", and etc. I want to apply "class1" to the first menu item. Then if menu item is selected, I want to apply "class2" and if it's not selected, "class3". I played with various 'Static' styles, but just can't get it work. I finally gave up and created my own menu control that extends ASP .NET menu control and provides my own custom rendering. This works, but I'm wondering if there is a way to get it work with built-in menu control.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible that I reserve a asp.net code in db and load it at runtime. the asp.net code contains server side tags like Text='<%# Eval("Description") %>'
View 1 RepliesI haven't been able to find relevant information through searches. I'm very green when it comes to sever side scripting. I have an ASPX page with a standard form. In the head I have meta tags, the title tag, and a link tag neatly ordered on their own lines. However, when viewing the source code after publishing to the server, the spacing between the tags is removed and it looks quite messy. (There are also <style> and <script> tags that follow, but they remain unaffected.)
I realize this has no practical effect on the site itself (in an SEO sense or otherwise). My project manager shows the source code to our clients to educate them on meta tags and page titles. It would help if it wouldn't become jumbled like this. I wonder if this is a common issue and if it's possible to prevent through better coding practices. HTML as authored, with tags separated on their own lines:
HTML Code:

I'm not sure it's relevant, but here's the script used to send the form (which I didn't write, by the way). It's the final tag inside the page head:
HTML Code:
<script type="" runat="server">
Protected Sub SubmitForm_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If Not Page.IsValid Then Exit Sub
Dim SendResultsTo As String = "email"
Dim smtpMailServer As String = "smtp"
Dim smtpUsername As String = "email"
Dim MailSubject As String = "subject"
Try
Dim txtQ As TextBox = Me.FormContent.FindControl("TextBoxQ")
If txtQ IsNot Nothing Then
Dim ans As String = ViewState("hf1")
If ans.ToLower <> txtQ.Text.ToLower Or ans.ToUpper <> txtQ.Text.ToUpper Then
Me.CutMyLawnForm.ActiveViewIndex = 3.......................
I'm rendering a view for the text/plain part of an e-mail. But in some cases, the whitespace is removed between non-output server tags, and I can't figure out why. Can someone explain why the following is missing the line breaks before the final line of output?
[Code]....
But this works - whitespace is preserved between output tags:
[Code]....
This is on MVC 2. It may have been on MVC 1 (or even in Web Forms), but I didn't notice it until today when I went to add a new line to the e-mail, so not sure of the source. Does ASP.NET or MVC have some optimization to try not to output whitespace between server tags?
I have an ASP.net page which contains some controls.
I generate this controls by code, [Actually I have a method which uses a stringBuilder and add Serverside tag as flat string on it]
My page shows the content correctly but unfortunately my controls became like a Client-side control
For example I had a LoginView on my generated code which dosen't work, and also I had read some string from LocalResources which dosen't appear on the page What Should I do to make my generating method correct
here is the code
protected string CreateSubSystem(string id, string roles, string AnonymousTemplateClass, string href, string rolesContentTemplateClass, string LoggedInTemplateClass)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("<div class="SubSystemIconPlacement" id="");
sb.Append(id);
sb.Append(""><asp:LoginView runat="server" ID="");
sb.Append(id);
sb.Append(""><AnonymousTemplate><div class="");
sb.Append(AnonymousTemplateClass);
sb.Append(""></div><asp:Label ID="lblDisabled");
sb.Append(id);
sb.Append("" runat="server" SkinID="OneColLabel" meta:resourcekey="lbl");
sb.Append(id);
sb.Append("" /></AnonymousTemplate><RoleGroups><asp:RoleGroup Roles="");
sb.Append(roles);
sb.Append(""><ContentTemplate><a class="ImageLink" href="");
sb.Append(href);
sb.Append(""><div class="");
sb.Append(rolesContentTemplateClass);
sb.Append(""></div></a><asp:HyperLink runat="server" CssClass="SubSystemText" ID="lnk");
sb.Append(id);
sb.Append(" NavigateUrl="~/");
sb.Append(href);
sb.Append(" " meta:resourcekey="lbl");
sb.Append(id);
sb.Append("" /></ContentTemplate></asp:RoleGroup></RoleGroups><LoggedInTemplate><div class="");
sb.Append(LoggedInTemplateClass);
sb.Append(""></div><asp:Label runat="server" SkinID="OneColLabel" ID="lblDisabledLoggedIn");
sb.Append(id);
sb.Append("" meta:resourcekey="lbl");
sb.Append(id);
sb.Append("" /></LoggedInTemplate></asp:LoginView>");
sb.Append("</div>");
return sb.ToString();
}
I also use this method on page_PreRender event
I have a loop in JS, and I want to pass each parameter in that loop to a function in ASP.NET in the codebehind.
something like that:
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)
{
}
And I want to pass a function in <%%> the elements[i].
How can I do that?
Is it possible to access a code behind property for a server tag? I have a property on my code behind page that i want to pass into a javascript function i.e.
<asp:RadioButton onclick="moveToNextPage()" class="inputcell" Runat="server" ID="myRadioButton" Text="No"></asp:RadioButton>
So i want to be able to get the variable out of my code behind page and pass it to the "moveToNextPage()" function. Is this possible?
I am new to MVC. why HTML helper methods are inside asp server tags?
for example <%=Html.Textbox("Textbox1")%>
are they equivalnet to asp.net web form server tags. Like in web forms we have
<asp:TextBox runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
If someone can kindly explain.
I'm trying to insert some html 'div' tags inside a tabcontainer from server side. I haven't seen anything similar on the net. Here's the situation:
I have the following TabContainer on a form:
<cc1:TabContainer ID="TabContainer1" runat="server">
<cc1:TabPanel HeaderText="Person">
<ContentTemplate>
<div id="Test">
</div>......
How can I acheive that? If it's not possible, what other alternatives do I have? The most important requirement for me is to allow the user to remove the data by clicking on it.
I'm working on a custom ServerControl, I've created it like below :
[ParseChildren(true), PersistChildren(true)]
[ToolboxData("<{0}:Menu runat="server"></{0}:Menu>")]
public class Menu : WebControl
{
.....
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)]
[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerDefaultProperty)]
public MenuItem MenuItems { get; set; }
}
[ParseChildren(true), PersistChildren(true)]
public class MenuItem : WebControl
{
......
[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)]
public MenuItem SubMenuItems
{
get
{
if (_SubMenuItems == null) return new MenuItem();
return _SubMenuItems;
}
set
{
_SubMenuItems = value;
}
}
private MenuItem _SubMenuItems;
[TemplateContainer(typeof(MenuItem))]
[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)]
public ITemplate Template { get; set; }
}

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");
....
}
}
Adding runat="server" is not rendering my server tags <%...%>
I have a masterpage with a few <li> for menu and since I have to set class=selected for the current page, I am using a little server tag to find the url and assign the particular class.
I have total of 10 <li> and not all menu is available to all types of user, I need to toggle few of the <li> if the user is not admin, so I have runat="server" added to them so I can set their visible=false through c#
Here is how it is at a glance:
<li runat="server" id="liBlog" class='<%= Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.EndsWith("/Blog") ? "selected" : "" %>'><a href="/Blog">Group Blog</a></li>
<li runat="server" id="liPoll" class='<%= Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.EndsWith("/Poll") ? "selected" : "" %>'><a href="/Poll">Poll</a></li>
<li id="liInvite" class='<%= Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.EndsWith("/Invite") ? "selected" : "" %>'><a href="/Invite">Invite</a></li>
<li id="liFavourite" class='<%= Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Contains("/Favourite") ? "selected" : "" %>'><a href="/Favourite">My Favourites</a></li>
The <li> without runat="server" works fine, when on correct page the source code shows class="selected" or class="" as appropriate, the other <li> used to work fine too, until I decided to add the runat="server".
Once I added that runat="server", the whole block of class="" is being sent out to the html page, its not processing the server tags at all! I right click on the html and look at the source, it's being rendered as:
<li id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_liBlog" class="<%= Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.EndsWith("/Blog") ? "selected" : "" %>"><a href="/Blog">Group Blog</a></li>
It's pouring out my server tags into the source code!
Why is this behaviour seen? How can I avoid it?
I have such code:
<%# (int)Eval("Favorites") > 0 ? "<a href="history.aspx?visitorid=<%# Eval("VisitorID") %">Favorites</a> / " : ""%>
where I show a link if value>0 .. However it gives me a bad url(history.aspx?visitorid=%3C%#%20Eval) when I put visitorID=<%#...%>inside another Eval<%#..%>
