Finding And Accessing Elements Of A WebUserControl?
Mar 3, 2010
I am creating a WebUserControl in ASP.net and want to be able to access elements of that control later. When I access them though I am trying to access them together. For example, adding a CheckBox and a table to a control and then finding the CheckBox, checking whether it has been ticked and if it has been ticked, get the values from the TextBoxes.
I currently have everything loading on the page from the custom controls, but when iterating through the controls on the page, there doesn't appear to be a control of my WebUserControl type. All of the controls are there on the page, but they exist as seperate ASP.net controls.
Am I thinking about this wrong? Is there a better way to do this?
I would like to be able to do the following in the .cs file for this page:
#1. Initially "Submit News" is disabled. The admin must click "Preview News" which will update the newslabel temporarily and also enable the "Submit News" button.
#2. When the "Submit News" button is clicked, the news.txt file should be opened and whatever content is currently in the newslabel.Text will be written to news.txt. The news will then be updated for anyone to see.
Right now, if I try to do "submitnews.Enabled = false;" is does not let me because it thinks that submitnews is not in the current context. Basically I need to know how to access elements that are within a <asp:LoginView> area.
I have a Gridview X in which there are 6 columns(5 template columns that are text boxes and 1 bound field). The user has the option of changing the value in the text boxes annd saving them. There is one more GridView Y that displays DB values(all 6 columns are bound fields). Initially X will show the values that being shown in Y, and when user changes the values in Y,he should be able to save it. If we are trying this using OnTextChanged event of asp:Textbox, there is a postback everytime the user makes a change in any of the textboxes. Instead i want it such a way that all the changed values should get concatenated together and should be sent to the DB.
I have a page where i am creating a number of <span> elements using clientside code.
I am creating the elements using jquery like this
[Code]....
But this returns a null object everytime. I have tried this code on a span that is on the page at the beginning and it works so i guess its something to do with how im creating the control dynamically.
{"d":{"key1":"value1",2":"value2"}}s there any way of accessing the keys and values (in javascript) in this array without knowing what the keys are?The reason my json is structured like this is that the webmethod that I'm calling via jquery is returning a dictionary. If it's impossible to work with the above, what do I need to change about the way I'm returning the data?
Public Function Foo(ByVal Input As String) As Dictionary(Of String, String) Dim Results As New Dictionary(Of String, String) 'code that does stuff Results.Add(key,value) Return Results End Function
I have aspx page and in that page i registerd ascx page. i want to access the aspx page <div id = "idofdiv"> from ascx page jquery function. i have jquery function in ascx page. i want to access idofdiv in that function.
I have...a dynamic populated select box several input boxes a submit button form fields are loaded initially using cookies several dynamic populated divs
I want... start loading the content of my DIVs after all FORM elements have been loaded completely (= filled with data, select boxes are populated)
i have found out a way to find controls on content pages by using
var txt = $('input[id$=TextBox1]'). But how to access html elements like "<p>" tag and others in jquery when the html elements are in content page only.
Could someone give me a small example how i can make reusable WebUserControl (.ascx) file.Basically i need to make a employee lookup utility where users enters employee id to get Emplyee information.Once the Emplyee information is available, it is used in various data entry tasks by the page that includes the control.
In the project I have some custom WebUserControls for form elements (they encapsulate some standard validators and other system specific functions). My user controls are "DropDownListField" and "TextBoxField". In the code behind of a page I have this code:
string parameterValue = null; foreach (object control in myMultiView.Views[myMultiView.ActiveViewIndex].Controls) { if (control.GetType() == typeof(DropDownListField)) parameterValue = ((DropDownListField)control).Value; if (control.GetType() == typeof(TextBoxField)) parameterValue = ((TextBoxField)control).Value; }
For some reason the "if" statements always return false even when I step through the code and see that "control" is getting assigned my web user control. This code is in another place in the project exactly the same except in the other location the standard .net controls "TextBox" and "DropDownList" are used and in the other location the code works. why this wouldn't work with web user controls?
I have parent page which loads child control which in turn contains DataGrid with template field and button has associated Click() event with it. Problem is that Click() event is not actually called at all. Sample code is below.
UserControl [Code].... Parent Page [Code]....
I put debugger into LinkButton1_Click event of user control but it never goes there.
I had this problem: I created a WebUserControl that used som Ajax stuff - hence it needed a ScriptManager.
The problem was that I couldn't add it to the WebUserControls html code (the .ascx file) since the WebUserControl sometimes was placed into a parent page that already had a ScriptManager, and I couldn't add a ScriptManagerProxy since the parent page sometimes didn't had a ScriptManager.
Alot of people just use a ScriptManager on the MasterPage, but this fails if: one doesn't use a MasterPage or one uses iFrames etc. that uses stand alone aspx pages, like Thickbox might do...
Here's the solution:
in the WebUserControls code behind (.cs file), put this:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <%@ Reference Control = "CHEADER.ascx" Page="~/Default.aspx" %> <%@ Reference Control = "CLEFT_NAVIGATION.ascx" %> <%@ Reference Control = "CCOPYRIGHT.ascx" %> <%@ Reference Control = "CBOTTOM_NAVIGATION.ascx" %> <%@ Reference Control = "CPAGE0001.ascx" %> <%@ Reference Control = "CPAGE0002.ascx" %> <%@ Reference Control = "CPAGE0003.ascx" %> [code]... none of the usercontrols appear thats is if i replace "WebUserControl1" by name CHEADER it says CHEADER? what is that!!asp.net c# vsts2008
I am trying to create a chat application like Facebook
My chat windows are in the footer control of the website, and C# code also in footer's CS file, i need to call C# function from footer CS file into javascript included in my footer.aspx file,
i have tried it by ICallbackEventHandler, but WebForm_DoCallback(this,arg,RecieveMessage,"",null,false); simply postback my current page, but i need to postback footer.aspx only and call "public void RaiseCallbackEvent(String eventArgument)".
I have a page, which load a tab with usercontrol this usercontrol inturn loads an another usercontrol that has treeview. Issue: On (!Postback) of treeview control page_load, this load is gettting called twice. it is not callign the page_load of page but just the control page_load twice.
Tried: changed autoevenwireup from false to true, true to false (no change) Add/Remove of EnableViewState="true" ViewStateMode="Inherit" doesn't make any difference.
but if i add another usercontrolB and load that instead of this controlA, the ControlA still gets called on page_load once and ControlB also once.
I'm having a problem with a Webusercontrol that has an asyncfileupload control. My websusercontrol is being loaded in a placeholder control that's wrapped by an updatepanel.Due to asyncpostback, I have to load and clear the placeholder's controls.
The webusercontrol works flawlessly, except the asyncfileupload, which doesn't want to upload at all. I can assure that the code is without error, because I used to have the webusercontrol running as an *.aspx site. control has to be cleared and reloaded with every asyncpostback ?
I seem to be having a problem with my visual studio 2005/2008 installation or something because it isn't providing any IntelliSense whatsoever for controls registered on web.config files in folders different from the root, but it isn't showing any errors neither. Is this behavior normal?
I have access only to the folder of my sub-app, so I can't modify the root's web.config file. Well I COULD, but I'm NOT allowed to.
What I'm trying is to register some WebUserControl's on the web.config file for sub-app folder, so all the pages in my sub-app can use the WebUserControl's without having to register them on every page, but I'm not getting IntelliSense for those controls registered on the web.config file on my sub-app folder, but I do get IntelliSense if I register them on the root's web.config file. IntelliSense for everything else appears to be working fine.
In the web.config file on my sub-app folder I have something like the following:
[code]....
am I doing something wrong?
Update Now I have upgraded to VS2008 SP1 and the issue persist
