How To Create Custom/User Control With Children
Jun 15, 2010
I want a create a custom/user control that has children.
For Example, I want my control to have the following markup:
<div runat="server" id="div">
<label runat="server" id="label"></label>
<div class="field">
<!-- INSERT CHILDREN HERE -->
</div>
</div>
and when I want to use it on a page I simply:
<ctr:MyUserControl runat="server" ID="myControl">
<span>This is a child</span>
<div runat="server" id="myChild">And another <b>child</b>
</ctr:MyUserControl>
The child controls inside my user control will be inserted into my user control somewhere. What is the best way to accomplish this?
The functionality is similar to a asp:PlaceHolder but I want to add a couple more options as well as additional markup and the such. Also the child controls still need to be able to be accessed by the page. (in the example above the page should have the myChild Control on it)
EDIT ------
It can be a template control as long as it allows me to reference the children on the page.

I have created a really simple custom control to render panels into a page. The code is below. When I use my control and add any webcontrol to it, after each page postback the contents of these child controls vanishes.
I must have missed something really simple but run the example to reproduce this. Can anyone please enlighten me as to why the controls are being 'emptied' of their contents, and how I stop this occuring?
Here is the code for the control

And here's how I am using it in a sample page:

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; }
}
<%@ Register Assembly="JQueryMenu" Namespace="JQueryMenu" TagPrefix="MdsMenu" %>

public override void RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
if (!this.HasControls())
throw new Exception("Controls are empty");
....
}
}

I have a very simplistic user control that looks like this:
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="wfWindow.ascx.cs" Inherits="webfanatix.co.za.wfWindow" %>
<div>Just a test...[x]</div>
with this code behind:
[ParseChildren(false)]
[PersistChildren(true)]
public partial class wfWindow : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
RenderChildren(writer);
}
}
And the usage thereof looks like this:
<wf:wfWindow runat="server">This content should go where [x] is.</wf:wfWindow>
I'm no ASP.NET pro, so how do I get the content to render exactly where the [x] appears in my user control?
RenderChildren is rendering my content, but it is only appended to the end of the UserControl output. I need it to go and sit right where [x] marks the spot.

I'd like to create a user control which takes XML as input, applies an XSL transform on it, and displays the results of the transform in the web form or windows form in place of the user control. The transform should happen automagically when the windows form or web form is first loaded. I'd think this would be pretty easy to do. I just don't know how. point to a guide/tutorial on how to do this?

I have a custom control which inherit from the Table class and in the constructor, it takes a an integer as an argument. There is no empty constructor.
Is there a way for the user to set that variable in the properties window after they drag the control onto a form.
I know some .NET controls, you can set the source for the parameter to different things like another control's property, QueryString using just the properties window.
Right now, I have to create the control dynamically. I read the query string and then created the object.

I have created a user control and am ready to convert it into a custom control. I am trying to follow:
[URL] the steps mentioned in the link.
I am not seeing Build / Publish Web Site option.
I am using VS 2008. I only see Publish User Control but it doesn't give all the settings mentioned below. When I do publish user control, it just copies the ascx file to the desired location. how can I convert the user control to custom control.

I want to create a custom control where I define several specifically named DIV sections. The code-behind logic of the custom control will perform operations on these named DIV sections. The page where the custom control is hosted needs to be able to add named controls to the DIV sections and perform operations on these named controls added to the DIV sections.
Let me explain a little further. In the custom control, I want to have code behind logic that fires the following Page Event and uses a condition to make one or another specifically named DIV section visible or not:
< _
ToolboxData("<{0}:BaseDetails runat=""server""></{0}:BaseDetails>") _
> _
Public Class BaseDetails
[code]...
how can I create a custom control which is able to generate the named DIV sections "DetailsNameDiv1" and "DetailsNameDiv2" where my custom control can check a condition and make one or the other visible. Also, I need to be able to add controls to these named DIV sections when I host the custom control and the control that I add to the named DIV section needs to let me set values of these controls from the code behind logic of the page (or usercontrol) where the custom control is being hosted (in my example, I am adding TextBox controls that I want to set the Text property from a SQL Data Reader).

I have a web user control that represents a simple message box. It is used to display simple messages like "Item has been deleted", or "The item was saved successfully".
On the other hand, I have another web user control that represents the item in the form of an editable form (I made this a user control because this is used in two different pages). I want to embed an instance of the message box user control inside the editable form. I am writing this right after the @Control directive:
[Code]....
Instead of using @Register directives, I register the user controls in web.config and so far this has worked just fine.
With the above markup, the project compiles, but whenever I try to navigate to a page that contains this construct, I get an HttpParseException exception. Furthermore, Visual Studio states that the tack w7rc9:MessageBox doesn't represent a known control.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm new to all of this, so go easy on me. This should be an easy one. I have created a custom SmartContentBlock user control for a CMS.The control works, but only if I invoke the Fill() function in the Page_init event in the codebehind of the ASPX page. My goal is to modify the class file so that the Fill() in the codebehind is no longer neccesary. So, for reference, here's the gist of the current situtation.Controls.cs

I want to create a control just like a Panel.
I want my control to accept some controls as childs without typing the template name, just like the Panel, as shown here:
<asp:Panel runat="server">
My content
<div>Content</div>
</asp:Panel>
I have controls with content inside without telling what is the ITemplate.
I basically want to convert this
<my:MyControl runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
My content
<div>Content</div>
[Code]....
The above works with <Content></Content> tags inside the control, but without it doesn't work. And the attribute isn't doing anything at all (I guess). What's missing?

I have a user control (ascx file) that contains an interface for users to change the data retrieved from the db. So, I am displaying data and most of this data can be edited by the user. When the user enters text into a textbox, and clicks "Save Changes", the value they typed in is lost and not persisted to the database. I realize now this is because the SaveChanges button does a postback, and the user control gets reloaded with its original valuesbefore the code within my SaveChanges button gets executed. I'm not sure if there are properties I need to set to save the input data, or if I need to write my own code to do it. What is the generally accepted method to do this? (Also, all of the controls in the ascx file are wrapped in an Update Panel.)

I have searched everywhere and can't find a great solution. All I want to do is have about 40 extra fields that save to a SQL database when creating a new user. Will also need to keep the functionality of roles so I don't want to completely override the built in functions.
I have seen the ability to put the data into a profile, but as I understand that will not save to the database in a form that I could join/select against.
There's the ability to tie onto the end of the CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser, but then it's an extra select/insert into a separate table. Would be nice if I could keep everything in 1 function and in 1 table.
So what is the best way to add a bunch of extra fields into the database when creating a new user?

I am trying to build an ASP.NET site that allows each user to set their own session timeout value. Basically from the user's perspective if they set their timeout value to 30 then that means that after 30 minutes of inactivity they are required to re-authenticate. If they set their timeout value to 0 then that means that they can leave the browser open as long as they want and their session never expires - they never have to re-authenticate. This is different than "remember me" functionality. If they close their browser they will have to re-authenticate.
Currently I am using Forms Authentication in my application and I have one object that I am storing in ASP.NET session. This object is a custom User object that has a number of different pieces of information about the current user.
What code would I need to write so that after successful login, the system has the proper authentication ticket and the proper session expiration value? I keep thinking I have this working and then I notice weird time outs where the system seems to think I am authenticated but my session has expired.
Currently on my login page I am using an ASP.NET login control. i have custom code in the Login_Authenticate event to authorize the user. Then I have the following code in the Login_LoggedIn event to set the auth ticket.
