Forms Data Controls :: Limit Text Length Displayed In Repeater Control
Jul 10, 2010
I have a repeater control which displays text using the following code:
[Code]....
What i am trying to do is, i want to limit the total length of text displayed to, lets say 150 characters, how and wat code can i use to achieve this task
how can i set the max-width of the label field, and use multiple line if the text length larger than max-width in the templateitem of repeater. i set the width to 10, but can't fix the length.
I have a section of a page with a repeater control on it, taking information from a database, to display the latest information available to users. However it would be preferable to be able to format this information, so that it can have line returns, bold and underline in it. Rather than just single line plain text.
What is the best way to accomplish this? At the moment this is what I have: [Code]....
I have a web page that has a repeater bound to a data source. I beed to change a label inside the repeater based on the data that is in each repeater item. For instance, for the first item it might be one thing, and for the next item the label may be something else. I am currently doing some processing in the prerender event, but I don't know if I can or how to access the data source fields there. Where and how do I get access to the data in each item so I can change the label text?
Let me try to explain my situation. I have a database table which contains, among other things, a boolean column called PermissionSlipRequired. I have a repeater on my page, and before each row in the database is shown in the repeater, I want to use my code behind to check the value of PermissionSlipRequired. Based on whether the value of PermissionSlipRequired is true or false, I want to change the text of a literal within the repeater. That's a real mouthful; hopefully some markup and code will clarify. Here's my repeater:
[Code]....
Here is what I've been able to come up with for my code behind. Needless to say, this code doesn't work.

As a former PHP user who is trying to migrate to asp.net.
where each entry has some HTML text and an associated Name and ID.
What I want to do in ASP.net C# is to list each of these entries on a page in such a way that the HTML text should be displayed exactly how it is meant to be (e.g. <b>test</b> should show 'test' in bold) and each entry should be editable. When the Edit button is clicked on an entry, the HTML text should be replaced by a textbox with the text inside it so that you can edit it and save it.
For example:
FOOTER --EditButton--
TEXT test
Now I am not sure on what is the best way to do this. Should I use a repeater with an ItemTemplate for each entry? If I use a repeater, and an edit button is clicked, how do I know which edit button is clicked and how do I know which textbox to display the text etc?
I have a description field on my gridview that gets really lenghty, I want to be able to limit it to about 40 characters and then it they mouse over it show a popup or maybe tooltip with the rest of the data.
I need to construct a regular expression for the password textbox, Min:8,Max:16 and must include atleast a number(0-9),alphabets upper and lower case. I am unable to limit the length to 16.
i have limited my list box width with the style "list_style". my problem is that some of the item in my listbox has length greater than my listbox width. i need to limit the length of the item shown with a '...' if the length is too long. so my text will be 'how are you ...' for '
I want label to display limited text say 20 char even the data it retrieve from database may be more than 20 char.. like in gmail,we see message body limited when we click it display whole message..how is that possible...?
i am having 2 textboxes on a form. What i need is if i enter some data in the first text box the same text should be displayed at the time i typed which means
if in the first text box i enter A the same text should be displayed automatically in the 2nd textbox.
I have a label control in datalist. When thw word is long, the text of label corrupts the design. Label hasn't a multiline property.I tried different ways . I tried to use textbox like a label but this time I can't give a link to textbox.I tried to use MeasureString() method for the label. But I couldn't do it.
