I have a user control, which is added dynamically, but I have noticed that when it is on the page and viewing the source that none of the controls within have been given unique ids. How do I give my user control and the controls within unique ids in order that I can use them in my events?
View 5 RepliesI am trying figure out how I handle events in a dynamically added user control. Basically I can add user controls dynamically to my form (I am then storing them in an ArrayList in a Session variable that I use to reload them on my Page_Load). Each control has a button on it. However, whenever I click the button, the event never fires (code is never reached). I assume it has something to do with the control being dynamic, and when I click a button, it goes out of scope, and when I reload it something is lose in the event handling.
Here's my code for adding a user control:
Code:
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim alContact As New ArrayList
If Not IsPostBack Then
' Dummy controls for testing
Dim oContact As New ASP.ContactControl
[Code] ....
I have a C# web application that dynamically adds user controls to the default page for whatever "mode" the application is in. The problem is that it is not persisting these across postbacks. How do I persist these across postbacks and keep the content of the controls that are in the user control?
For instance, say I have a user control that creates a new tour record. The user clicks on the Tour item from the menu on the default page, it dynamically loads the tours user control. The user then fills out the form in the tours user control and clicks save. This is where the problem happens. When the postback occurs, the web application has no idea that the new tours user control was ever loaded. So, no save takes place because the Save button's click event never even gets fired.
I have ONE <asp:Button ID="btnAddUC" runat="server" ......./> and ONE <asp:Table ID="tblUC" runat="server"...> on my page. User clicks on btnAddUC, user control is added to the page [user can add 'n' user controls to the page]. here I have no problem, adding user controls to the page on user clicks.
My user control has ONE <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlItems" runat="server" ......./> and ONE <asp:CheckBoxList ID="chkItems" runat="server"..../>. I am exposing "ddlItems" by public method, "chkItems" is not exposed. "chkItems" is binded on SelectedIndexChanged event of "ddlItems".
Execution scenario:
User adds user control to the page, select item from the "ddlItems" ( Note: "ddlItems" is exposed by public property ) , "chkItems" is populated ( using ddlItems.SelectedItem.Value ) . User checks some checkboxes in "chkItems" and then decide to add one more user control. When the second user control is added to the page, checkboxes in the first usercontrol lose their state and apeears unchecked (NOTE: user checked some checkboxes and then added another user control).
I want to put checked beckboxes index in session ( Before another control is added, which event I should use, because at LOAD event there is nothing).
I was able to restict SelectedIndexChanged event to only that user control whcih generated it (checking _EVENTTARGET)
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 ...
<tr><MyControl:dataField
ID="txtEmail"
DataType="Email"
runat="server"
/></tr>
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 ...

I've got a gridview with a few textboxes in each row which I want to insert into a database, after a user clicks a submit button (thats outside of the gridview)
This is my code for the gridview
[Code]....
And this is my code for the button
[Code]....
But when I click the button it gives me this error
"Multiple controls with the same ID 'Label12' were found. FindControl requires that controls have unique IDs."
How do I give the controls unique IDs if they are in a gridview and the rows are database driven?
I've got a custom ASP.Net web user control I've built; done this enough times before but this one is misbehaving and I can't spot why.
Where the calling page includes the user control directly in its markup, all is well and the control behaves as expected.
However if the page adds this particular control dynamically (to a placeholder in the master page, which is what's calling this whole thing) the elements within it stay firmly NULL - nothing from the user control gets written to the client at all, including static content within the user control.
I have a user control say SearchVendor.ascx which contains 4 buttons a gridview and another user control. I need to load the control dynamically actually as a modal pop up
I get this code
var uc = Page.LoadControl("~/blah/VendorProductSearch.ascx") as VPSearch;
uc.ShowVPSearch(true);
_tempPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(uc);
it works fine the control gets loaded properly but onclick of any button the second time the control disappears ?
I want the dynamically added control to remain until the user clicks on the cancel button
I have a GridView of thumbnail photos within an UpdatePanel, with clickable icons in each row which each load a User Control containing a small Google Map into the relevant row. The idea is that the user can geotag (by clicking on the map) any photo in the GridView.
In the map User Control, there is some Javascript initialising the map:
function initializeMap() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById('Map'), {size: new
GSize(336, 200)});
// set the map controls, set the centre, etc.
}
}
Problem is: I don't know how to call the initializeMap() method. Because it's dynamically added to the page, any attempt to link it to the calling button by "onClientClick=initializeMap()" for example, gives a JS error, saying the method isn't defined.
I've tried
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "initializeMap", "<script type="text/javascript">alert('Here'); initializeMap();</script>");
but I don't think I'm on the right track with that one either.

View 1 RepliesI 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...

On a page I use a jQuery UI tabs. In several tabs, some part are the same, then I create a partial view. This partial view is call several time on the same page because tabs are divs on the same page. Then I have to make a difference between control.
In the partial view, I have this :
@Html.TextBoxFor("MyControl");
I'd like to tab0 give to this control : tabs0MyControl
I'd like to tab1 give to this control : tabs1MyControl
I need make the difference between because I do some action with jQuery after.

I am just trying to add some dynamic controls to the SimpleQueryControl (which of course is a kind of Web Control and inherits all the methods accordingly). I dont know how to get the values of Child controls which I have added dynamically.

I'm adding a dynamically built set of checkboxes to an asp.net page from the code behind with something like this in a recursive fashion:
pnlPageAccessList.Controls.Add(myCheckboxControl);
The controls show up fine on the page, but they don't show up when I view source, nor can I access them from the code behind.If I add the controls in the on_init method, they work. But I have some business rules driving changes to the list of controls itself that require I fire the add method elsewhere. Has anyone seen this before? I'm away from work so I can't copy the exact code.
I have two terrible ideas for how to get it working. One involves some jQuery and a set of hidden controls holding a big array of integers; the other is run the method on_init AND on my other events so the controls at least show up. Both smell like ugly hacks.

I am trying to create a RadioButtonListWithOther class that extends the RadoButtonList but I can't get the "Other" textbox to render on the page. When I step through while debugging I can see the control in the parent control's Controls collectio but it still doesn't render.
public class RadioButtonListWithOther : RadioButtonList
{
private TextBox _otherReason;
public RadioButtonListWithOther()
{
_otherReason = new TextBox();
_otherReason.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine;
_otherReason.Rows = 6;
_otherReason.Width = Unit.Pixel(300);
_otherReason.Visible = true;
}
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
this.Controls.Add(_otherReason);
this.EnsureChildControls();
base.CreateChildControls();
}
protected override void OnSelectedIndexChanged(EventArgs e)
{
_otherReason.Enabled = false;
if (OtherSelected())
{
_otherReason.Enabled = true;
}
base.OnSelectedIndexChanged(e);
}
public override string Text
{
get
{
if (OtherSelected())
{
return _otherReason.Text;
}
return base.Text;
}
set
{
base.Text = value;
}
}
public override bool Visible
{
get
{
return base.Visible;
}

{
//Push visibility changes down to the children controls
foreach (Control control in this.Controls)
{
control.Visible = value;

Here is my code to add an instance of this control to the WebForm:

{
var whyMentorOptions = new Dictionary<string, string>();
whyMentorOptions.Add("Option 1", "1");
whyMentorOptions.Add("Option 2", "2");
whyMentorOptions.Add("Option 3", "3");
whyMentorOptions.Add("Other", "Other");
mentorWhy = new RadioButtonListWithOther
{
DataSource = whyMentorOptions
};
this.mentorWhy.DataTextField = "Key";
this.mentorWhy.DataValueField = "Value";
this.mentorWhy.DataBind();
Form.Controls.Add(mentorWhy);
base.CreateChildControls();
}
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'm building an ASP.NET UserControl where users of the website can upload several pictures at once. I'm doing it the old fashioned way by letting the user enter the amount of FileUpload controls wanted and then add them dynamically from C# to a asp:Panel control.
While this works, the values/files from the FileUpload isn't stored for when the user clicks the "Save" button. How exactly do I go about this problem?

I'm adding a serires of asp:literal and asp:textbox controls to a panel in code as below (the eventual aim being to add only some of the controls depending on the user):

How can I control how the panel is rendered, preferably without having to create a custom control?
I'm writing a formbuilder for our CMS which dynamically loads bespoke controls into panels within a repeater.
The bespoke controls all inherit from, lets say 5arx.FormBuilder.FormControl, a base class which defines abstract methods for initialising, validating, repopulating, gathering submitted data from them. Controls range from simple text fields to complex, composite client-side controls.
It all works very well, but I've noticed something I feel is anomalous. During the course of writing code to retrieve form controls. gather their data and persist it to my database I noticed that their type reverts to the way objects get typed if you write your code in the (v. irritating) VS 'website project' mode.
So, for example a control that is defined as living in a namespace and being of type
5arx.FormBuilder.FormControl.MyBespokeControl
Sarx.FormBuilder.FormControl.MyBespokeControl
at runtime reports its type (via simple call to GetType()) as being of type:
ASP.5arx_FormBuilder_FormControl_MyBespokeControl
ASP.Sarx_FormBuilder_FormControl_MyBespokeControl
Getting the BaseType property will correctly retrieve the underlying class, but it is perplexing to me why this should be happening. Particularly as I spent much of the summer refactoring our app from its original form as VS Website project (complete with shared code in the App_Code folder and other nastiness) to the (IHMO) correct web application project + supporting claass libraries so that we would have control over our namespaces and not get everything compiled into the ASP.x namespace
EDIT: Modified the (hypothetical) example root namespace.
I am trying to create a form that is made up of controls with values that represent an entity with multiple child entities.
The form will represent a product with multiple properties where the user will then be able to create options with multiple properties which in turn be able to create multiple option-items with multiple properties.
My question is what is the best approach? Can i use ajax to avoid postbacks and having to rewrite the controls to the page? If i dynamically add the controls in the form of table rows or grid rows will the data/control values be available in the code-behind when i submit?
This is an age old question.. the last time i had to do this was .Net 2.0, pre-ajax (for me) and i was forced to recreate all the controls on each post back.
