How To Know The User Control Has Been Loaded
Jan 11, 2011On my web page, I have few controls.
Sometime one of those control was not completly loaded.
I would how do I know a user control was completly loaded.

In my default.aspx page I have a PlaceHolder control within an UpdatePanel. In this placeholder control I will dynamically load a web user control, which is just a form with a submit button. On this user control, I have the form within an update panel and I have the "Submit" button's Click Event added to the triggers.
When I submit the form, the UpdatePanel on the web user control nor the update panel on the default.aspx page are capturing the post back, thus causing a full post back which refreshes my page.
how to capture this post so its rendered in Ajax and not a full post back?
I am trying to add dynamically a user control I created to an aspx page after it is loaded. I tried sending an ajax request to a handler that used RenderControl function and sent back the control's html. I appended it to the DOM using javascript.
The problem is that some of the controls must go through their Page_Load function and that doesn't happen when using RenderControl function.
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'll use a small code for example.

I have created a user control that contains two asp calendar controls. I need to add this user control twice on the same asp page, let's say for Check in date and Check out date. Since the two are conflicting to each other when I add it twice statically, I now dynamically add them on button click so that each time only one control is loaded. The problem is, when I select a date on a calendar, it seems that the selection event is not happening at all. Of course, I am not getting any date.
View 4 RepliesI'm doing a menu that loads levels dynamicly, when you click on a item the next level is loaded asynchronously. For each menu item I have a user control. Every user control is declared in its parent, for example, the "secondlevelcontrol" has the reference to "thirdlevelcontrol".With this level of nesting, I want to manage the asynchronous calls on every user control so, when the first level is loaded the javascript to load the second is loaded too. When the second level is loaded the javascript to load the third is loaded too.
To do asynchronous calls I'm implementing ICallbackEventHandler interface. As you can see in the examples, controls are added to the page as plain html. The method "ProcessOnLoadEvent" executes all lines of the "OnLoad" event of the user control.An example of the implementation is this for the user control of fourth level:
public string GetCallbackResult()
{
return _callbackRendering;
}

Hosting page:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LoadMyControl(Parameters); //Do it every page load to preserve it's state
}
protected void LoadMyControl(string parameters)
{
plchld.Controls.Clear();
Control userControl = LoadControl("TheUserControl.ascx");
userControl.ID = "userControl1";
plchld.Controls.Add(userControl);
}
Now inside this control, when a button is clicked I want to update ,let's say a Label on the hosting page.
What is the best way to do it? Custom event?
I have a problem with ViewState. I have an aspx page that has a treeview on the left and an UpdatePanel with an ASP.NET Panel inside on the right. It is in that inner Panel where I load and unload dynamically user controls. I use that update panel to load dynamically controls.
I also made a custom control for my user controls because I need to pass some values from page. On that constructor I use ViewState to store these values.
The first time I load the user control I call its constructor with parameters. When I reload that user control on each postback I use its normal constructor.
My problem is I the values I've stored on ViewState has become null on successive postback.
Update:
This is a piece of my user control:
public class MyUserControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
private int PKId
{
get { return ViewState["pkId"] as int; }
set { ViewState["pkId"] = value; }
}
public MyUserControl(int pkId)
{
this.PKId = pkId;
}
...
}
I'm following this article to load controls dynamically: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc748662.aspx#id0070065.
Second Update:
I also set the same control ID when I load the user control at first time and on each reaload.
Maybe I can use another method to store these values like input hidden fields or Cache. I've choosen ViewState because I don't want to overload server with Session values for each user.
Third update:
I load the controls with this code:
System.Web.UI.UserControl baseControl = LoadControl(ucUrl) as System.Web.UI.UserControl;
if (baseControl != null)
{
baseControl.ID = "DestinationUserControl";
PanelDestination.Controls.Add(baseControl);
}
And reaload with this code:
DynamicControls.CreateDestination ud = this.LoadControl(TrackedUserControl) as DynamicControls.CreateDestination;
if (ud != null)
{
ud.ID = "DestinationUserControl";
PanelDestination.Controls.Add(ud);
}
My main file is messages.aspx and i am loading a UC names message_inbox.ascx dynamically as:
SiteUserControls_Message_MessageInbox InboxUC = Page.Load("message_inbox.ascx") as
SiteUserControls_Message_MessageInbox
Now in my user control ("message_inbox.ascx") i have a various events which i am combining in one group event :
public void ForwardLinkButton_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
I have user control that inherits a base control class and these user controls are loaded using the LoadControl method, I can't seem to figure out how to raise events from user controls to the page that are dynamically loaded this way. Here is the delegate and event in the base user control class.
public delegate void SomeChangeEventHandler(object sender
, SomeChangeEventArgs e);
public event SomeChangeEventHandler SomeChangeEvent;
public virtual void OnSomeChanged(SomeChangeEventArgs e)
{
if (SomeChangeEvent != null)
{
SomeChangeEvent(this, e);
}
}
trigger dynamically loaded usercontrols click event?
What i did.........Created User Control like One.ascx with one button
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="one.ascx.cs" Inherits="one" %>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Hello, this is My First User Control dynamically loaded :)">
</asp:Label><asp:Button ID="btnShow" runat="server" Text="Show" OnClick="btnShow_Click" />
On Code behind public void btnShow_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

Fail to redirect user to google.com by clicking button which written in .ascx file.
I have a aspx page, default.aspx, with an user control in it. Inside the user control (UC 1) there is a DataGrid. When the DataGrid is loading data with ItemDataBound, I need to dynamically load another user control (UC 2) for each row in the DataGrid. UC 2 has a Button ( BTN )with an eventhandler associated with it in code behind.
User control loading is fine, and the Button, BTN, is there. However, when I click the Button, the eventhandler is not reached, not firing, even though the page does postback. I googled for this issues, and I know the dynamically loaded user controls need to be loaded every time the page is postback. In my case, it needs to be loaded each time the datagrid is doing ItemDataBound. I did it and even hook up the eventhandler with button click event each time when the user control is dynamically loaded. I set EnableViewState to true on the Page and controls.
The following is part of the code from UC 1, AcctPaymentDetail is UC 2 in the code.

And the following is UC 2 the is being loaded:

I have a blank user control (child) and during Page_Load i create some text boxes and a button. I also add an event to the button.
I then load that user control dynamically from a placeholder in another usercontrol (parent). Both controls are rendered correctly but when i click on the button, the event isnt fired. how to handle the event?
Child code:
[code].....
If i use the child control directy (ie without the parent the control) the click event is raised and handled nicely. But when i use the parent control, the debugger wont even hit a breakpoint inside UpdateButton_Click().
I have a tab control on my page and on click of tab user control is loaded dynamically.I need to load the javascript file of that user control dynamically. I don't want to add the reference of my js file on parent page.so in my .ascx page load event i added:
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl js = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("script");
js.Attributes["type"] = "text/javascript";
js.Attributes["src"] = "../../js/DatesJavaScript.js";
Page.Header.Controls.Add(js);
but it is not working.
I have a user control that is dynamically added to a placeholder control inside an update panel in my main page. The user control has a linkbutton where I try to handle its Command event. The first time the link button is clicked after the user control loads, the form posts back but the command event handler does not execute, although the user control is still on the screen. The second and subsequent times the link button is clicked it works perfectly. When the user control first loads and I mouse over the link button, the browser status bar says: javascript: __doPostBack('ctl08$lbTest',''). After the first click, when I mouseover the link button the browser status bar shows javascript:__doPostBack('ctl07$lbTest',''). Why the changed in id, I can't figure but it must be why it is not hitting the event handler the first time it's clicked. Here is the cs code that loads the user control:

I have written a user control that captures some user input and has a Save button to save it to the DB. I use a repeater to render a number of these controls on the page - imagine a list of multiple choice questions with a Save button by each question.
I am loading the user control inside the repeater's ItemDataBound event like this (code simplified):
[code]....
The problem is that when the Save button is clicked, the page posts back, but lbnUpdate_Click is not called. The Page_Load event of the page itself is called however.
I should mention that the repeater is part of a user control, and that user control is loaded inside another user control (this is a DotNetNuke site which makes heavy use of user controls). The Save button link looks like this:
javascript:__doPostBack('dnn$ctr498$AssignmentsList$rptAssignments$ctl04$ctl00$lbnUpdate','')
I load the content of some User Controls into my page with the use of jQuery. So I have this function that extracts the content from my User Control, and it works like a charm.
public string GetObjectHtml(string pathToControl)
{
// Create instance of the page control
Page page = new Page();
// Create instance of the user control
UserControl userControl = (UserControl)page.LoadControl(pathToControl);
//Disabled ViewState- If required
userControl.EnableViewState = false;
//Form control is mandatory on page control to process User Controls
HtmlForm form = new HtmlForm();
//Add user control to the form
form.Controls.Add(userControl);
//Add form to the page
page.Controls.Add(form);
//Write the control Html to text writer
StringWriter textWriter = new StringWriter();
//execute page on server
HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute(page, textWriter, false);
// Clean up code and return html
string html = CleanHtml(textWriter.ToString());
return html;
}
But I would really like to send in some parameters into my User Control when I create it. Is this possible, and how can i do that?
I can see that LoadControl() can take some parameters with object[] parameters but im really not sure on how to use it.
For a "dashboard" module I need to dynamically load user controls based on criteria as the user enters the page (role, etc). The problem is that the events are not being fired at all from the controls
As I understand it I need to load the controls in the OnPreInit method of the dashboard page, however I cannot get a reference to the Placeholder control at this point of initialization (i.e. I get a NullReferenceException); trying to load the Placeholder dynamically via Page.FindControl gives me, ironically, a StackOverflowException.
I've tried loading the controls in PreRender and OnInit as well but the events in the controls are not wired up properly and will not fire.
The code is basically this:
[code]....
I have some logging that has to be done, which are some database update or inserts.
However this logging is of no importance to the user, so I only want to process the data/logs after the page is completed for the user.
As of now, if I process the data while the page is loading, I go from 1.4 to 2.0 speed (server side time processing of code), which is quite a bit comparing it is of no use to the user.
So I want this code only executed after that the page is complete.
I've been checking out Ajax, async pages etc, but the problem is it still gets executed before the page is rendered to the client, which means the client will have to wait longer then it is not being processed.
I've been checking out Threadpool.queueBackgroundWorker, however if I get it correct, this will still be executed before the page is shown to the user, as it has to complete before the prerender.
Then I thought about creating a new thread, and do the processing there, which would not have my page waiting to complete the data/logging.
However when I have 100 or 200 users loading pages at the same time, then that would mean I would be creating 200 threads on those loads, which I doubt will be good for performance. So if I want to solve this, I would have to create my own threadpool and only assign for example a max of 40 threads to it which can process the data.
All I want to get done, are some update/inserts into database after the page is rendered and shown to the user. I don't want the logging to slow down the pageload for the users obviously. I want that logging or no logging makes no difference to the pageloadtime for the user at all.
I am following on my own solution to triggering fancybox from asp.net code-behind as here:
http://forums.asp.net/p/1577730/3966910.aspx
But this time I am stuck because my hidden_link control exists inside a dynamically loaded user control, and I do not know it's id, as the id's change to something like this:
ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl01_hidden_link2
ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl02_hidden_link2
ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl03_hidden_link2
I am using
Literal1.Text = "<script>jQuery(document).ready(function() {$("a[id$='hidden_link2']").trigger('click');});</script>";
(which would find an <a> tag ending with hidden_link2) but this only triggers the fancybox for the first user control. How can I inject this script for the required <a> link only? Hope that makes sense.
I have a simple user control containing two text boxes which I am adding to placeholder on Button Click event. I am storing the number(count) of clicks in View state and running a loop using count to create all previously added user control. I am also adding IDs to each User control (appending "UC" and count). I have also checked in view source the ids are same each time they are created. I have another button which basically does an post back. I have EnableViewState enabled ="true" in all controlls all the way up to Page Level. My problem is that User Input does not persist on postback. Should this not be happening automatically for me?
View 2 RepliesI 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?
Got a windows forms user control dll embedded in an asp page using the html form control object tag as it needs to run client side. The windows form control does something and then needs to redirect to a another aspx page passing a parameter obtained from a calculation in the windows form contro dll. Is the redirect possible from the windows form control (same session id needs to be used) since obviously you can't call response.redirect since its not part of the server side wep page.
View 3 RepliesI have a situation where I dynamically load one of twenty user controls at a time in an ASP.net web page. Based on much reading I've done, I understand that I am to reload the user control upon postback via the Page_Init event handler. This I've done and it seems to work fine.
But now I would like to wire up assorted controls in the user controls such that when the value of each is changed, an event is fired and the web page is notified. Here's an example of how I'm doing that:
userControl.NewData_Handler += new EventHandler(UserControl_NewData_Handler);
There's a problem though. Because the user control is being done in Page_Init (ie. before Page_Load) I don't believe that a line of code such as the one above can function yet.
So I'm wondering what the best practice to do this is. It occurred to me that perhaps I could execute the line in the Page_Load event handler but I'm not sure if that's correct or not.
