How To Dynamically Add User Controls Within A User Control
Jul 21, 2010
I want to create a user control that will again contain a user control that will be dynamically generated and can be repeated N times with respect to data present in data table.
I don't think I understand fully how ASP.NET does inheritance of controls.I have a user control, ucBase, which has an asp.net label in the ascx file. Code behind references the label and it works fine during run time if the control is not a parent for another user parent.
If I have another user control, ucChild, inheriting from ucBase, the label in ucBase's code is always null. ucChild has no controls in its ascx fileThe server controls (like the label) needs to be declared in the ascx file and not created programmatically.What needs to be done for ucBase to see its own controls when it's a parent user control?
Is it possible to dynamically (and generically) clear the state of all of a user control's child controls? (e.g., all of its TextBoxes, DropDrownLists, RadioButtons, DataGrids, Repeaters, etc -- basically anything that has ViewState)
I'm trying to avoid doing something like this:
foreach (Control c in myUserControl.Controls) { if (c is TextBox) { TextBox tb = (TextBox)c;
[Code]....
...but obviously that doesn't exist. Is there any easy way to accomplish this dynamically/generically?
I have created a web user control (MemberDetails.ascx) which is loaded dynamically on a page (Member.aspx) for my website. The control has some TextBoxes. I want to store the values inputted by a user in these TextBoxes to a database on the click event of a button that is on the Member.aspx page (i.e. not a part of user control).
I binded user control in gridview dynamically using templatefield (through code behind)
User control consists of 2 textboxes and one dropdown.
There is one button outside the gridview on the form. On click of that button i have to save the values of usercontrol's (child controls i.e textbox and dropdown values) but i am not able to get the values of user controls.
I am able to get User Control using LoadControl and child controls using FindControl but not able get values i am getting textbox values as blank and dropdown value as 0th selected index even though there is value entered by the user.
I have a composite user control consisting of three standard table cells (a legend, an image with a tool tip, and a text field control). If I add these to a TableRow in my aspx page it works fine and produces legal HTML in my source. The below works fine ...
However when I try to do the same programmatically (C#) the TableRow won't accept anything in its Controls collection that isn't a TableCell. I could make my control a nested table in its own right but I lose the alignment of my form items on the page with multiple controls, as each table aligns itself according to its contents. Is there anyway I can make the TableRow accept my control as collection of cells or do I need to do some casting or making my user control inherit some kind of TableCell attributes? I can also dynamically add my controls to a TableCell item which actually displays OK in IE but creates illegal HTML (<td><td></td><td> ... </td></td> - I assume this is illegal) in my resulting source. The code below DOES NOT work ...
Im working with asp.net web application,I need to get multiple gridviews dynamically based on the count (which i get from database) for that i took a web user control and i added a gridview there . iwant to load that usercontrol in aspx.cs based on the count..
I am trying to persist data in a dynamically populated ListBox in a user control. Here are the details
I have a user control which contains a a listBox and button. On Page_Load of user control I am populating the ListBox control with some values. On Click of button, I am trying to fetch the values which I have selected in ListBox. Though this seems very simple and straight forward I am unable to fetch values.
I have placed brake point at Page_Load and on click function, I am seeing that the moment the breakpoint hits Page_Load function (before If (!Ispostback)) , listBox.SelectedIndex is becoming -1.
One more thing here is, I am placing this user control in an SharePoint application page to be specific checkin.aspx page . ( I know this should not be done, but that is the requirement for me)
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.
I have an ASP.NET 4.0 application with some simple user controls. The user controls work fine on the design surface (VS.NET 2010), but when they're loaded during application execution, nothing shows up.
Futhermore, the various child controls of the user controls are null when referenced inside the code behind for the user control.
The code behind for the user control executes as expected, but any reference to child controls are null.
It's like ASP.NET is never parsing the ASCX to create the instances of the child controls.
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 a website the main page holder is placed within an iframe - everytime I navigate to a page from the menu a new page id is set within the frame. I have a left hand panel seperate to thee i frame which is a usercontrol and is static. I'm trying to capture the main iframe pageid from within the usercontrol.When I navigate to to a new page - the iframe is updated but the usercontrol is not, and im struggling to think of how I can grab frame id from within the usercontrol.
I've tried setting trhe page id as a session variable but this isnt accurrate enough. I need to grab it as as soon as a new page is hit.
I hava a page default.aspx having master page abc.aspx and web user control login.ascx i want to call perform simple alert function on login button but not on client click event. For e.g
Protected Sub BtnMyIpLogin_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMyIpLig.Click
'Some Validation part here for user login
'then my if condition like
If flag_alert = 0 Then Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "btnflag", "alert('Your Download / View Limit Exceed More Than 90%');", True) End If
I'm working on a project in which i added an user control. I put some css effect in it and a also added a dropdown. When i run the application the effects are working but when i change the dropdown values the css effects will lost somehow.
I am createing user dynamially with the below code; string MyPassword = Membership.GeneratePassword(8,0).ToString(); Membership.CreateUser(TextBox7.Text, MyPassword, TextBox8.Text); but before I start creating, I would like to check if the user name is used before or not.
I'm trying to make web form with two placeholders. Firs holder contains user control witch has list of buttons, each button opens different user control to second placeholder.
I get it to show user control in second placeholder but i can't get dynamically created user controls to fire events.
So how i can dynamically create working user control with button click?
Here is how i create those controls:
[Code]....
"field" is hidden field containing filename of user control to be created.
I have one label and table control in my webusercontrol.In my web form i want to add my webusercontrol dynamically and also i want to update value of label and table in my webusercontrol. I have tried using LoadControl method. The problem I am facing is that in my webform I am able to see webusercontrol but I am not able to update values.
I have this GridView that have it's DataSource as a list of previously selected products. For every item on it, I need to Eval it's ID and load a specifc form that the user must fill, then after that i've got to update the GridView.
I have made those specific forms as User Controls, is this the best approach for this scenario?
If yes, how can I dynamically load them, in a way that I can make queries/postbacks then update back my gridview?
I am trying to use my user control on my page which should load with data from a datatable. When the PageLoad event fires up I got the following message:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source Error:

here is the page code which cause the error message:
I want to know how can we create web user control dynamically.
Scenario: Basically i am developing registration user control. I have a web page(say, SelectInputs.aspx) that lists different types of fields along with checkbox attached to each of them for selection. Once i select desired input controls (which should appear in user control) and click submit button then the file (.ascx) should be created from code behind.
eg: Lets say on SelectInputs.aspx i select fields viz. Firstname(textbox), Lastname(textbox), DateOfBirth(3 dropdowns) etc and click on submit button then from code behind the .ascx file should be generated that will include Firstname(textbox), Lastname(textbox), DateOfBirth(3 dropdowns) etc.
I have a page that contains radioButtons. Each click on a radio button loads a user control (.ascx) in the page.
What I am doing is loading all controls at the same time, but set their visibility to false. When a user clicks a radiobutton I set the visibility of the specific user control to true.
As a result I am loading all the user controls on each postback.
Im trying to create a "user control menu" where links to a page's usercontrols are placed at the top of the page. This will allow me to put several usercontrols on a page and allow the user to jump to that section of the page without scrolling so much. In order to do this, I put each usercontrol in a folder (usercontrols) and gave each control a Description property (<%@ Control Language="C#" Description = "Vehicles" .... %>).
My question is how can I access this description dynamically? I want to use this description as the link in my menu. So far, I have a foreach on my page that looks in the ControlCollection for a control that is of the ASP.usercontrols type. If it is I would assume that I could access its attributes and grab that description property. How can I do this? (Im also open to a better way to achieve my "user control menu", but maybe thats another question.) Should I use ((System.Web.UI.UserControl)mydynamiccontrol).Attributes.Keys?
