I have a page that has customer information. I have a requirement to be able to add multiple points of contacts to a contact, so I want to dynamically be able to add a block of label/text boxes with a save/delete button attached like so for each PoC:
How best to do this? I could put a div on the page with a runat="server" and add controls I guess? Not really sure how I lay them out that way correctly though.
I am working on a page where user controls are dynamically added to the page and refreshed with a timer in an updatepanel.
Since I already coded dynamic user control loading into the page, I would also like to implement *some* form of dynamic layout method for those controls. I was thinking coordinate values.
I have used Top and Left properties on panels before to achieve this functionality in my windows forms applications but since this is a web application things are different.
I realize I can do the whole "absolute positioning layout model" override in Visual Studio but as far as I know this only benefits me at design time. Is there a way to programatically trigger that behavior?
I looked at the silverlight Canvas and how you can pass offset values in with your controls. Something like that would be great, but this isn't Silverlight, lol. I also considered a web method to return globs of html tags to fill the area between these controls.
This is a page that would be reused over and over from client to client so this is why I would like to get this dynamic layout working. It would save me much effort later on.
Ihave the following code and would like to be able to control the layout of the textboxes and labels so they arent just in a long column. Right now everything works and controls are added, but they are added in 1 column which if you chose 32 from the dropdown the page becomes very long.. so would like to maybe wrap them across 3 columns so that each has at least 10 per column.

I've a page main.aspx. This page has a button 'Settings'. When it is clicked, I load another aspx page settigns.aspx in a popup. Now in the settings.aspx i allow the users to add controls dynamically. For example the user can create 5 textboxes. When he saves it there, I need to get that controls to main.aspx.
So i need to move all the controls from one page to another page. I'm not able to think of a solution with user controls.
How to change web site layout dynamically using asp.net? Suppose user wants to select one layout from choice and apply it dynamically.
View 2 RepliesI am learning ASP .net (I have several years experience designing windows applications). When I add controls to a new blank web page, I do not seem to be able to control where on the page these controls sit. They default to being jammed up against one another from left to right in the top left corner. Am I missing something? Is something not working? If this is by design, what is the basic method for controlling how controls sit on the web page?

I've dropped a GridView control onto an .aspx page and hooked it up to a datasource and it works fine. The problem is that its boring rows of information in a straight line on top of each, one after the other. Is it possible to fully customize the layout of a GridView to present the data anyway I want to. I like the idea of using the GridView for paging and sorting multiple records but if its restricted to row-over-row presentation I may have to write my own. Is it possible to display multiple records on the same row but that are contained in something similar to a TableCell control? I see there is an option called "Edit Template" but when I click on it, it just puts my cursor in an empty box. Not sure if this the option I need to master or not. I want to do something with a gridview like this:
record 1 | record 2 | record 3 | record 4| record 5
record1 | record 2 | record 3 | record 4 | record 5
record 1 | record 2 | record 3 | record 4 | record 5
record 6 | record 7 | record 8 | record 9 | record 10
record 6 | record 7 | record 8 | record 9 | record 10
record 6 | record 7 | record 8 | record 9 | record 10
Basically, changing the layout of the data from a single record per row to multiple records per row with records spanning multiple rows. Is this possible with GridView control?
That can be setup to display certain number of records per page and allow paging.
I have tried the repeater, but having issues with paging since its linked to a SQLDatasource.
I have done a search on "Paging Repeater" and all examples are setup with XML and other datasources and im not able to figure out how to modify that to work with my SQLDatasource.

View 4 RepliesWhile running ItemDetabound upon load of a listivew, I am trying to access the text in a label of the LayoutTemplate of a different Listview. It works fine if I try access the same labels under the same names if they are in the same listview, but not if they are in a different one. It was working for a while, can't figure out what I changed, but now says that object doesn't exist.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, I'm coming at this from a front-end perspective, and don't really know how to deal with data views in ASP.NET.
Basically, I'm trying to change the layout of some repeated data from a straight table, to something more design-heavy. It's the same data, just re-organised slightly. The current ASP.NET code looks like this:
[Code]....
However, I want to replace all of this, such that each 'row' of data renders like this:
[Code]....
How is this done? Can I just edit the code above, or would I need to do something more advanced in terms of not using a data grid and using some other control instead? Is it something that can be done in just a .aspx file or would it need to be done in C# and compiled?
How can I access the datalist at run time to create, a table layout but with the first cell having a rowspan of 2? Below is the HTML source code to demonstrate.

I am developing a CompositeDataBoundControl that is basically a 'table' inside a 'div', in order to limit the size of the Control and use the scrolling capabilities of the 'div' tag ('RenderBeginTag("div").
So essentially the control is;
<div style="overflow:auto;width:400px;height:300px;">
<table style="table-layout:fixed;">

I am creating a survey page that has a list of questions and answers that can be radiobuttonlists, checkboxlists or textboxes. These controls are added dynamically to a Repeater in its ItemDataBound event using Controls.Add.
I've managed to render the page ok but when I submit the form and iterate over the controls in the repeater to get the selectedvalues of the radiobuttons and textbox values, FindControl returns null. What do I need to do to get get the selected values? I've tried iterating over the RepeaterItems but that returned null too. I've tried different types of FindControl but it never resolves the control types.
It works if I add a declarative DataBinder in the Repeater like this
<asp:Repeater ID="rptSurvey" runat="server" Visible="true" EnableViewState="true" >
<ItemTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Question") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
However, I want want to dynamically add the controls but in doing this i cant get the selectedvalues when submitting. This is tha main structure of my code...

I'm creating an quiz application which queries the database and extracts the questions and choices. I use dynamically created controls such as a checkbox list and fill the values dynamically. How do I do this? Right now I have these functions:
array_random_init(); this creates a 10 element integer array from 1-20 - extract_question(i): this extracts a question indexed at i in DB, I created the controls and set the appropriate text in this function. - validate_question(i); this is called by button_click and validates the question i according to DB.
I understand I have to recreate the controls in Page_init on postback, but what should it look like? Do I need to add "if IsPostBack" in page_init, or do I create the controls in page_init() and reset their properties in page_load when I use extract_question(i)? Also, I cannot seem to clear the selected boxes on postback, I added page directive "enableviewstate=false" but it doesn't work.
In my aspx page, I have a number of drop down controls. I would like to update an attribute on each of the controls with "class=leftColumn" with the following line: propertyID.Attributes["nameOfAttribute"] = "false";
But instead of manually writing out each controlID and setting its attribute with the line above, I had hoped there was a way to go through and set the attribute on each control ID if it had class=leftcolumn. This is something I know is very easy with JQuery, BUT I need to do it with the code behind (C#) I was told this is not possible (i.e. to acquire a list of all the controls and then iterate through the list and give it the attribute or any other way. That manually setting each control like the above example is the only way in ASP.NET.
