We have a number of projects and across projects cerrtain forms are duplicated.
Is there a way that I can create one form and reuse it across multiple projects?
I currently have an ASP .NET MVC / EF4 project that contains many pieces of autonomous functionality such as a blogging, events, contests, wiki, etc.
The entities used by each system are all mapped to my database through one giant EDM file.
This works well for the main site, but I also have a few personal sites where I want to reuse just the blogging functionality from the mains ite.
My biggest problem is that due to the mac daddy EDM file, my blog sites have to constantly have their database schemas updated to reflect changes made to areas of functionality that they don't use (i.e. changes to the events system).
The only other gotcha is that there are some entities (Users and Tags) that have relationships with entities from each area of functionality, making it hard to simply split each area of functionality off into its own EDM.
With all of this said, I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to set this up.
Should I go down the road of splitting up the EDMs by each area (blogs, events, contests, wiki) and figuring out a way to maintain relationships for the User and Tag entities?
Or should I just perhaps be creating an EDM for each website that only maps the entities that it will actually need? The only problem with this is that my repository layer takes in a UnitOfWork/ObjectContext, and by creating new ObjectContexts for each site I'd have problems reusing my repository code.
My Project is a normal web site, not a Web Project, and I am using VS 2005.
I am trying to define common Master Page Type in app_code which has an area to display error messages and the like. Very simple.
I added the following in app_code:
[Code]....
Also, I added the following in Master Page Source Declaration:
[Code]....
Also, I added the controls tblrowErrMsg and lblErrMsg as server controls to the Master Page.
Why I am doing this ?
This will allow me to display error messages from nearly any where inside the code in code-behined, app_code, and other core Class Projects (DLL).
I've seen some teams that start breaking into multiple projects from the beginning and others build behemoth single projects. The large project teams say that one massive project is easier to maintain than multiple smaller projects.
View 4 RepliesI have a calendar control that will have events displayed within each cell.
I want to use a pre formatted gridview and simply bind the gridview with a dataset dynamically and display it within the cell of the specified day.
Is there a way to do that or do I have to dynamically build a gridview for every day that there is an event?
So here is the template gridview and datasource:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlcalitemtemp" runat="server"
I have an autocolumngenerating GridviewI have a 2nd Gridview with identicle number of columns and I want the cell width are identicle to the 1st one.Is it possible to have an event for 1st Gridview to get the cell width of each to be used for Gridview2 datarowbound event to set the width of respective colums ?
View 3 RepliesI am needing to display two gridviews in the same panel on a form. Each of the gridviews has their own sqldatasource. Both datasources pull from the same table but they have a different record selection. When I view this in the browser I only see one gridview displayed. Can someone tell me how to do this or is there a better way to get a two gridview look without using the gridview?

View 2 RepliesI have a partial view that has a form to post to a controller. I can include it into another view using @Html.RenderPartial. The problem is that the parent view is linked with another controller. And the partial view post to its orginal controller.Is it possible and how to write partial views with form that supports reuse?
View 1 RepliesHere is the situation:I have a Datagrid which is going to display a number of rows. I want to click a button on the datagrid and have the following occur
open a row underneath the row clicked, without hiding or replacing that row Open this row so that it spans all of the columns as one continuous row where i can put form fields and/or just data formatted as I would like and not just in columns.Be able to close that new row. While I do most of my work in VB.NET, don't think that is a requirement for answering this.I have managed to currently take the first column (with the "Edit" button) and when clicked to
Hide the rest of the cells in that row Expand the button column to run all the way across the table Unfortunately I loose the clicked row's data, and I've only started getting this to work so I haven't tried too much, or getting data to bind to fields "on the fly"
I have been given the task to create a TAB control ( probably the Jquery tab control) as the company wants the Lazy loading of data.
The tab control should not have fixed items on it. It should be reusable in different projects . So I cannot fix the items in the tab control. Depending upon the project the tabs can change.
Need some great ideas on how I can achieve it.
Note: I am using MVC, VS 2008, C# for my development.
I am trying to write a simple library for MVC2 projects that takes care of user login, e-mail validation, password recovery, logging, etc. Since some of these steps involve user interaction, I need to have Views and Controllers in that project.In MVC2 Preview 2, one could do this by abusing areas (at least, it seems) since they were implemented as different projects. However, in the RC, creating a new area will merely create a subfolder. Since I want to share the base code between applications, that is not an option.I tried to brutally hack the AfterBuild steps into my project files, but that feels like the craziest hack ever.

View 4 RepliesNow, I've refactored my code to have a data layer, business layer and the main project as the view layer. Next I'd like to split this big project smaller projects based on discrete functionality. As I understand it, one way to handle a shared masterpage is to copy it into each project, that's not the worst thing, it hasn't changed in over a year and if it does it's easy enough to propagate the changes out to the other projects.
I was also reading that I could create an assembly from my master page and share it that way. My masterpage.aspx has a reference to a asp.net sitemap, Unlike the masterpage I'd like to maintain only one site map if possible.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create multiple gridviews for a number of individuals based on a selection from a dropdownlist. The user will select his choice from the dropdownlist and from there a query is run to find the number of gridviews to create. Each gridview will also have its own data to bind. I believe I have most of it, I just can't get the gridview to show up. My thinking is to create the labels, then insert a gridview, bind it, and then repeat the process all over.

I have a piece of code that is just HTML. It was previously created as a user control. Within the application i'm working with there are two seperate websites that are interlinked to make one website. There is a documents section where users do not need to login and a data section where users need to login. The design was implemented long before I was hired. My problem is I want to use the code from the documents website with the data website but I can't seem to register the control. I only one this piece of code in one place so when it is updated it doesn't have to be in multiple places. I tried setting "src=http://website/doc/doc.ascx" but this errors out saying
<%@ Register Src="http://website/doc/doc.ascx" TagName="docs" TagPrefix="temp" %>
Parser Error Message: The file '/documents/http://website/doc/doc.ascx' does not exist.
It adds the directory as part of the src. How can I have it point to this location http://website/doc/doc.ascx ?
Among the many aspects of asp.net that I haven't focused my development on yet is caching. I have a perfect application for it now, I think, with a GridView that sits inside a repeater, and is bound in the Repeater ItemDataBound event. The contents of the GridView will remain static for each Repeater data item for each Client. The nature of the data in the GridView is that it can change from day to day per Client, but wouldn't need to be refreshed more frequently than that. The Page istelf only deals with one at a time Client based on a QueryStringParameter. My questions are a) how do I cache the DataTable so that a call to the DataBase isn't made each time Repeater item is bound and b) can I create/cache multiple DataTables (one for each Client) and let them live for day, checking for existence before calling the SQL stored procedure to regenerate the data?

View 2 RepliesIt's a multi-model view, and I'm achieving this through an IList<Book>. Each Book has a Title and an Author
So for example if I wanted to make 3 Books:
[code]....
However, I want to be able to generate such a form for any number of Books. I've done this before in Ruby on Rails through JavaScript and rendering partials, but I don't think I can render a partial in this case because the form changes (the index of the book has to increment for it to work)
EDIT: I'm looking for a way to do this in the Create view in particular. So in this case I don't have a list of books, but I'm building it.
A user should be able to click on a link that says "Add another item" and a form for another book should be appended to the bottom.
