I am currently designing a MVC Application and I am up the point where I want to add Hover Over information to the fields I have on my forms. The code for these forms take this standard approach:

I need to know How I would say in the case above add a Hover Over Event to the "TblName" field which would then provide some descriptive information to the user in order to provide them with more information?
I have a relatively complex dataset (numerous tables, some with multiple records) generated from reading in an XML file. I need to connect said dataset fields to an ASP form. At the moment I'm assigning them manually, like so in the pageload:
txt_first_init.Text = formData.ds.Tables["phrmHdrKey"].Rows[0]["first_init"].ToString();
txt_last_name.Text = formData.ds.Tables["phrmHdrKey"].Rows[0]["last_name"].ToString();
ddl_pregnancy_flag.SelectedValue = formData.ds.Tables["pPhrm"].Rows[0]["pregnancy_flag"].ToString();
And conversely when it's time to submit.
formData.ds.Tables["phrmHdrKey"].Rows[0]["first_init"] = txt_first_init.Text;
formData.ds.Tables["phrmHdrKey"].Rows[0]["last_name"] = txt_last_name.Text;
formData.ds.Tables["pPhrm"].Rows[0]["pregnancy_flag"] = ddl_pregnancy_flag.SelectedValue.ToString();
I did some looking into binding the textboxes (and dropdownlists, and checkboxes, and and and...) directly, but it seemed to be too many formats to use.
So this works fine, but as the number of fields increases, those load and unload lists are going to get unwieldy.
I have an asp.net form in which i want to clear all the data what I entered in textbox,dropdownlist etc. So how can I do without going to each textbox and set the value.
like TextBox1.Text=""; etc. How can i clear all values in a form ?
I am trying to populate a web from from a SQL table.
This is what I have right now, though I am not sure if it's the best way to do things,.
Public Class userDetails
Public address1 As String
Public address2 As String
Public city As String
[Code]....
however, there are like 50 fields in the User db, and it seems like a lot of retyping..
I have a section of a form that I need to handle differently from the rest of form results. In the section that needs special handling I need to iterate over 3 form fields that have the same name. They have to have the same name, I can't change it. The section of the form I am referring to looks something like this:
<td><input name="Color" size="20" value="" type="text"></td>
<td><input name="Color" size="20" value="" type="text"></td>
<td><input name="Color" size="20" value="" type="text"></td>
Using C# I try something like this:
I try to handle it like this:
int i;
for (i = 1; i <= Request.Form["Color"][i]; i++)
{
colorName.Text += Request.Form["Color"];
}
Which leads to the following exception:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
How should I be handling form fields with the same name?
I'm trying to learn how to line up fields of a form using CSS instead of tables. I'm having a hard time with a CheckBox control. Here's the code:

<label for="CheckBox1">CheckBox</label>
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" />

I need to populate my textfields from values in database. I also need navigation buttons to scroll through all records, similar to an access form. Below is what I have on the OnLoad event:

The default built-in user registration form that we have in the Asp.Net Membership is that there are only fields for:
UserNamePasswordConfirm PasswordEmailSecret QuestionSecret Answer
And we have seen all these in a user registration form. But what if I want to add more fields to it. For example, take a look at this website, this registration page has a lot more fields for users to enter information: [URL] This regirtaion page has the information for Street Address, Suburb, Gender, DOB and lot more. How do I add these fields into my registration page. I have heard of something called profile. But how do I intergrate profile into this, if this is what we use to add more fields to user registraiton page. share a sample working code of user registrtion page with more fields.
New to .net and revamping a project from classic. In short, I am trying to create all the form fields in the view based on the database and want to figure out the best practice for .net. I've tried a few things but none seem very clean.
So basically select all the fields and data from the database and loop through each record creating the field type(text, drop down ect)/name/onchange event ect along with creating the basic layout, like putting in a column or group a set related fields.
I see how it can be done in the view itself, but there is a bunch of logic required that would be better suited for a function or class more than a bunch of if then elses in the view itself.
Just for context, it's for a real estate investment management project. So there are over 1000 fields that represent information on a house. What the end user see's is based on their choices and their security. Also, all the fields save with the onchange event which is tied to the name of the field. So everything is dynamic.
HTML has an input button type to reset all fields in a form to their initial state in one step: <input type="reset" ... />.
Is there a similar simple way to reset all form fields of an aspx page from code-behind? Or is it necessary to reset all controls one by one with TextBox1.Text=string.Empty, TextBox2.Text=string.Empty, etc. ?
Update:
Context is a simple Contact/"Send us a message" page with 8 asp:TextBoxes on the page (where the user enters the name, address, phone, email, message, etc.). Then he clicks on submit, the Onclick message handler in code-behind sends an email to some administrator, and all the form fields the user filled in should be emptied and he gets a notification in a label ("Message sent blabla..."). I want to have the form fields cleared to avoid that the user clicks again on submit and the same message is sent a second time.
i have a form where some fields have been disabled(using jquery). However, I need to enable all fields in form(whether containing data or not) when the user clicks submit..how do I accomplish this using jquery?
View 2 RepliesThis is the basic question , but I am not sure how the HTML data is handled when submitted through any registration form.
Consider I am having a Registration form where I am entering new customer. And while entring the details of customer I have put some HTML data into the textboxes(simple textboxes ) provided for. Show should I handle this.
Do webstandards allows that?
I need to put together an aspx page on which the user specifies a word document. These docs are all in the same format. I need to retrieve text from form fields in the documents and then insert these into a SQL server. I'm completely new to this kind of thing. Can anyone outline the principles behind what I need to do, or point me to a site which will explain it in simple language.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a form which displays information about orders. Each order has a unique id, but they are not necessarily sequential on the form. Also, the number of fields can vary (one field per row on the form). The input into the form will not be mapped straight into the database, but will be added to the current value in the database, and then saved. An example of the form is in the picture below - the callout on the right shows the id for each row.
I know how to generate the form like this, but I can't work out how I can easily process each of these rows reliably. I also know how to give each of the fields a unique identifier, like name="order-23" or name="order[23]", but how can I translate that name so that I can update the related record in the database?
I realize what I am trying to do is a little unconventional; but I want to make my search SEO. Basically I want the query string resulting from my search to be human readable; if I was doing straight html this would be cake:
<form method="GET"><input type="text" name="Zip" /></form>
I realize that I can change the form method in asp.net, however, all the asp.net state holders show up in the query string. I even tried disabling viewstate and removing all javascript submitting controls (to get rid of __EVENTTARGET) to no avail.
The thing is, I really want to keep using the same master page as I do in the rest of the site; does any one know of anything I can do short of building the page from scratch?
I am looking for a simple (or best practice) way of pre filling some of the fields in a create form. As an example, say the create view is loaded for a model that has a datetime field. I want the textbox for that field to be filled with DateTime.Now. I don't need a javascript watermark or anything like that, I jsut want to pre fill the text box.
The GET version of my Create method in the controller just returns the view with no model so I am not sure where to set this value.I've beel trying to figure this out for a while and I must be missing something, I expected this to be really easy.
I have a share point survey. When we responding to the survey, as we know, it will open NewForm.aspx. this page contains a ListFormWebpart in which questions from survey list will be displayed. Now, i need to add few labels before the questions and these label values should be prepopulated from query string. What i am trying to achieve from this is, i wll created a link with some values in query string and send to specific users. different users might have different values in query string. Whenever they click on the link, it should open the survey with prepopulated label values along with questions in list.
I am not sure, how to do it. I have tried to add some html control to web part(using share point designer) and through JavaScript i have tried to set query string values. Then i tried to put asp controls and trued. it didn't work. I am trying since last 2 days. No progress. I am using SharePoint 2003, WSS2.0
I'm working on a very dynamic site build at the moment. What I'm trying to do is creating something like a survey that can be created dynamically from a control panel. In the control panel you add input fields (these are saved in a database), what the user then see is a form that I generate from the database. So if I add 3 input fields to the database the survey will contain 3 fields. If I add 20 fields the survey will have 20 fields.
Now my problem is that I want to validate these fields, and I would like to be able to hook me in with the standard validation flow. I can't create a Model with validation rules since the number of fields and their names are dynamic the only thing I know is what kind of data that is expected in every field (this rule is found in the database). In an ordinary case I would get the automatic highlighted fields that are not valid and so on thanks to the built in validation flow with ValidationResult and so on.
So the question now is can I somehow simulate parts of the validation and then hook me back in with the validation result, and if not valid, the form prints the error messages and fill the fields with the data that was given?
I am a completely new to ASP but have been given the task of creating some simple forms for my employer. how I could validate the Email, Website fields? And also make the Post Code a required field?

I'm not entirely sure which forum this belongs in. It works with both my ASP.NET form and my SQL DB.
Okay, I built an application from scratch a couple years ago and am trying to add some functionality so I don't have to do so much manual work.
I have two relevant tables, tableClasses and tableStudent2Class
Classes have 4 possible sessions that are available. These are bin fields which I mark as true if they're available for registration. There are upwards of 40 different classes that are available. Each class has a defined number of slots available (an int field).
The tableStudent2Class connects the tableStudents to tableClasses. There are three fields: classID, classSessionNumber, and studentGUID.
Now, is there some way to make the DB and/or form change the available bin fields to false when they receive a certain number of registrations?
I am beginner to MVC. I have created a View with dropdownlist, text box and text area. I didn't create a strongly typed view because these fields are not generating from the database. Is this right way of doing it? Do I have to create a 'Model' class and generate a strongly typed view? I am trying to validate(client and server side) these fieds before saving into the database. How to create a Model class for these fields?
Here is my view looks like.

How to get updated values of fields in form through InnerHTML tag?
View 1 RepliesI am facing few issues. I am using MVC2.I am developing a form which is being created dynamically based on its layout and all html attributes info stored in DB table. This dynamically generated form stores data(this table have all html field names as columns) in another db table(db is mysql).
I have created ViewModel class in which i get both design table entity objects and data table entity object. I, then, created strongly typed view based on that ViewModel. But the problem is when i rendering html fields using html helpers i.e
TextBox(Model.tblDesign.htmlField_name).it doesnt bind with the columns of Model.tblData whose names are same as of Model.tblDesign.htmlField_name. how can i bind fields of data table?
I have a shortcut on my desktop to a login page for a website I use quite often. Every time I go there I have to reenter my user name and password.
The desktop URL shortcut I have is
http://domain.com/service/Login.aspx
I've tried adding the following changes
http://domain.com/service/Login.aspx?username=ckimball&password=joshua1
But this doesn't auto populate the fields on the website when it loads. Is there something special I need to do so the webpage will fill in the fields on the form?
Also bonus if I could just auto submit to login so I don't need the page to load and have me click "login" but I don't think that's possible... or is it?
In my ASP.NET MVC 2 web application, I allow users to create custom input fields of different data types to extend our basic input form. While tricky, building the input form from a collection of custom fields is straight-forward enough.However, I'm now to the point where I want to handle the posting of this form and I'm not certain what the best way to handle this would be. Normally, we'd use strongly-typed input models that get bound from the various statically-typed inputs available on the form. However, I'm at a loss for how to do this with a variable number of input fields that represent different data types.A representative input form might look something like:
My date field: [ date time input
control ]
My text field: [ text input
field ]
My file field: [ file upload
control ]
My number field: [ numerical input control ]
My text field 2: [text input field ]
etc...
Ideas I've thought about are:Sending everything as strings (except for the file inputs, which would need to be handled specially).Using a model with an "object" property and attempting to bind to that (if this is even possible).Sending a json request to my controller with the data encoded properly and attempting to parse that.Manually processing the form collection in my controller post action - certainly an option, but I'd love to avoid this.Has anyone tackled an issue like this before? If so, how did you solve it?Update:My "base" form is handled on another input area all together, so a solution doesn't need to account for any sort of inheritence magic for this. I'm just interested in handling the custom fields on this interface, not my "base" ones.Update 2:Thank you to ARM and smartcaveman; both of you provided good guidance for how this could be done. I will update this question with my final solution once its been implemented.
