Forms Data Controls :: Databound Treeview Control Using .net?
May 21, 2010
i am developing a tree view component which should be data driven and amendable instead default layout provided by .net can we change that proper hierarchial structure like organization chart is there any chance to provide with an hyperlink to redirect other page or content view control below to display the content related to it.
The amount of li elements that will be rendered into each ul is determined at runtime. Each link in a li belongs to into a specific ul (the one containing a specific caption. Imagine this as a kind of a treeview with nodes and subnodes) During the bind Event I need access to an ASP:HyperLink that will be rendered into the a-element. Which databound ASP.Net control should I pick for this? Looks like a repeater in a repeater, which should make the databinding process ugly. I'm thinking about creating this HTML-Output with StringWriters myself.
I have an AJAX tab container with 2 panels within aspx page. Each panel hosts an ascx control. Each control contains GridView and FormView that are databound - 1st control to the parent table and 2nd - to the child. The 2nd control/tab contains standard DropDownList that is bound to the parent values so the user can select a parent to create "child" for. everything works fine except when the parent (on the 1st tab control) is created/updates the ObjectDataSource on the 2nd tab does not getting refreshed. Only after refreshing the hole page I can see the new "parent" value in the ddl on "child" page. I use strongly typed dataset. How I can programmatically refresh the DataSource? Simple rebinding didn't make a dent. Do I need to refresh page, the tab container, tab panel?
I need a form that displays three columns drawn directly from a database (no problems here) as well as two fields that require some complex calculations. Not only am I lost as to how to incorporate the calculations into the control, I don't know exactly how to write the calculations. I am working in Visual Web Developer 2008 with Vb.NET.
The first of the two fields should take the sum of all payments made by a given customer and divide it by a DailyMembershipRate, returning a DaysPaid variable. It should take this variable and a CustomerSince field for that particular customer and calculate a PaidThrough field.
The second of the two columns similarly requires the DaysPaid variable described above. It should subtract the CustomerSince field from the current date and return the value in days, giving a MembershipDays variable. Finally, it should subtract MembershipDays from the DaysPaid variable, again returning a value in days, and then multiply this by the DailyRate value for a Credit/Deficit field.
I realize this is a lot, but I haven't been able to find any documentation either online or in VWD or ASP.NET texts on this topic. I could really use some fellow user input.
I have DataList control and I want to assign to it's edititemtemplate some User Control. The problem is I can't find when I should databound UserControl to data, as my UserControl doesn't have static look (it renders different depending on some property values and datasource).
I was try to simply set my user control in edititemtemplate
I'm working on a website to showcase some of my bird photography, using ASP.NET 2.0 and C# with a SQLServerExpress backend.What I have right now is a ListBox bound to my database that displays a list of common names of birds and when the user clicks on an item in the listbox the main image on the page is changed to the image for that bird. For style reasons I want the listbox to always be a fixed size and because I specify the size (using CSS) a vertical scrollbar appears. My problem is that I want to provide my own images of arrows that go above and below the box such that when the user hovers over an arrow the box scrolls slowly and when the user clicks an arow the box scrolls quickly. Finally, my main problem is that I want to get rid of the ugly default vertical scrollbar that comes with ListBox.
Can you guys help me figure out how to do this? I don't mind using a different control other than ListBox as long as it is available in ASP.NET 2.0 and as long as it can be bound to my db. I also don't mind using JavaScript (which I'm sure I'll end up doing for the hover effects). Right now I'm fooling around with subclassing the ListBox control but I've never subclassed a control before so I'm somewhat clueless.
I'm using a gridview to extract a set of records. I need to add another field to the gridview, which can calculate the difference between a date associated with each record and the current date.
In my asp.net web page i have a dropdown box. Say like i have to bind EmployeeName to this dropdown box to show up as items.
I am using a dataTable to bind to this grid by having two columns in DataTable (EmployeeId and EmployeeName). But i am only binding the EmployeeName to the dropdown list box.
In the UI, after the user selects an Employee, I need to pass that employee's id to a function. Is there any way, i can directly pass the underlying data (EmployeeID in the DataTable attached to this dropdown), when the user selects the EmployeeName from the dropdown. Or i will have to make a roundtrip to the database and get the selected Employee's Id and then pass it to the function.
I have a big problem...I have made a page has a Data FormView controland the insert template of this Formview control has DropDownList to allow the user to choose section (SectionsDDList)..and there's also another DropDownList allow the user to choose a teacher (TeachersDDList)...more infothe SectionsDDList get the section list from SqlDataSource control which the "Select Command" of is:"SELECT section_id,section_id FROM sections"the TeachersDDList get the teachers list from another SqlDataSource control which the "Select Command" of is:"SELECT teacher_id,teacher_name FROM teachers WHERE (section_id = @section_id)"finallyI want the TeachersDDList to be filled with teachers according to the selected section from the SectionsDDList...So,I enable the Auto postBack function of the SectionsDDListand add the next code for the SectionsDDList_SelectedIndexChanged event:TeachersDataSource.SelectParameters["section_id"].DefaultValue = ((DropDownList)sender).SelectedValue;be aware that both of the SectionsDDList & TeachersDDList have been Bounding to a column...and the problem I have faced is that:Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.maybe you want to know the Stack Trace:[InvalidOperationException: Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.]

Is it possible to get the unique URL of an expanded treeview node? I need to be able to send the URL to someone and he should be able to navigate to that particualr node from the URL.. so I guess I need to somehow use a query string with the treeview control?
My TreeView controls is rendering CheckBoxes on Leaf nodes. I want to bind to those nodes the ID of the underlying data item. I am not sure I can do this declaratively or if I need to hook up to the TreeNodeDataBound event. If the latter, how would I go about achieving this?
i'm trying to implement a grouping repeater control. And i've followed the link:http://www.aspcode.net/ASPNET-grouping-repeater-control.aspxcould any one please tell me how can i induce one more lvel of grouping? i.ewhen treview control is clicked, it should contain another treeview control with n-levels of repetition.
Could you point me to a reference article on how to implement drag and drop within a treeview control using ASP.NET in C#? Is this best implemented with AJAX? I will be using an XMLDatasource. Also, I did not want to use any third party control at this point
In my webpage using treeview control in update panel. The treeview control sometimes working properly and somtimes not working. I heard that treeview contol is not compatability with ajax update panels. Is there any alternate control for treeview control or how can I use treeview control in update panels properly..
I have a control that inherits CompositeDataBoundControl. Based on the values of the bound data, I create som dynamic controls. In order to preserve state, I need to recreate the control tree on every request(from CreateChildControls):
[code]....
The problem is that on postback the PaymentMethod object is null, so I have no method of knowing what kind of control to recreate. That means that the control state is ruined. If I hardcode the type of payment control to make, it works as expected:
I want to make a menu used treeview control.so I can get data from database,I want to see in treeview.
My database: Tablename: Menu,Field: Id,ParentId,Title.
How do see this table in treeview
Example:
--Main menu1 -- id is 1,parent id is null -- sub menu1 -- id is 3,parent id is 1 -- sub menu2 -- id is 4,parent id is 1 --Main menu2 -- id is 2,parent id is null -- sub menu1 -- id is 5,parent id is 2 -- sub menu2 -- id is 6,parent id is 2
I'm working in a web application and my page is using a databound formview control. When i first enter the page via my code, I am unable to retreive a value from any of my controls -e.g. when i debug, i see that tbDate.text has no value (see code below). How can I retreive the values from the controls on my page e.g text boxes?
Code:
if (!this.IsPostBack) { TextBox tbDate = (TextBox)FormView1.Row.Cells[0].FindControl("txtDate"); }
Basically, I have a custom templated control with a custom data container class. When a developer adds an instance of my control to a page, they can define the controls in the LayoutTemplate however they like, as follows:
I would like my control to automatically move the "ml_errormessage" (databound content from Container.ErrorMessage - hard coded token in the property) to be a class of its containing element to make it easier for jQuery to use a selector to find the element and dynamically insert the error message client side. More importantly, I would like it moved out of the way so the class name doesn't get replaced by the content and jQuery can find it as many times as it needs to during the page lifecycle. In other words, I would like the output to look like this without the developer changing the input template or resort to using custom controls in the template:
I would like to move the value using the controls collection rather than resorting to string parsing of the output, if possible. However, when I interrogate the collection in an override of OnPreRender, the control in the template looks like this in the debugger:
As you can see the "ml_errormessage" value is nowhere to be found. Upon analysis of the DataBind event of the Control class using Reflector, I see that it delegates the binding behavior to each control. In other words, each control handles its own databinding. However, since I have no way of knowing in advance what control types will be in the template, how can this change be done?
Note: an acceptable alternative would be to add a new HtmlGenericControl (span) in the exact spot where the "ml_errormessage" is and add it as a class to this new control.On a side note, is there an easy way to get the control's output to indent for easy reading during debugging?
