I am try to migrate an asp.net web application to mvc. The problem im having is that it uses all asp controls and a ton of ajax control extenders like filtered textbox, masked textboxes, confirm extender, modal popup, the calander, ect...
How can I implement these extenders with the Html.Textbox controls?
I download Ajax control toolkit to use it in my website. I readed "Using AJAX Control Toolkit Controls and Control Extenders (C#)" to known how i can use them. In the Control extenders when i added a button to My Webpage, How can i find "Add Extender task option" ? because i should click on it to set the options.The Add Extender task option is not appear...! I was reading the page [URL] that i encountered this problem.
View 4 RepliesTwo separate questions, but sufficiently intertwined that I'm going to try the two together....
Firstly - User Controls and Behaviours
I have a User Control which contains a few visual controls. I am attaching some behaviours by using GetScriptDescriptors and am passing some JavaScript to the browser using GetScriptReferences. That is all rock solid and working well. However, when developing, I did discover that I couldn't attach the ehaviours to the User Control itself - not surprising as rendering a User Control does not create a DOM element which represents the actual control. So, I have attached my behaviours to a "random" TextBox within the User Control.
So - first question, is there a better way to do that? For example, should I always be rendering a SPAN as an element to surround the control? Not sure what that would do to the robustness of the rendering. What is the right way to attach a behaviour to a User Control.
Secondly - Accessing those same Behaviours later
Assume I have placed a User Control on the page. That User Control exposes a Property (actually a Javascript Function of course) which does "something" to the control - for the sake of example we'll say that the function is set_Border(colour). I then have a behaviour on the same page (actually an Extender on a different control) which needs to call the function. I have a reference to the User Control in my script, so I have tried TheControlReference.set_Border('red') and find that my control doesn't support the set_Border method.
I guess this is probably because the behaviours are not attached to the User Control itself, but to a GUI element within it. Hence, I suspect that the answer to the second question lies within the answer to the first.
I have a UserControl that is Added dynamicatlly into the page using UpdatePanel. That user control has an extender that does not work.
View 4 RepliesWhat are the inherent risk of upgrading a website from the 2.0 framework to the 3.5 framework?
I know the features given to me in the upgrade, just curious if there are any known issues that may pop up when upgrading.
I.E. Function X used to behave this way, and now behaves a new way.
I got the auto complete extender working with the database, but will show the autocomplete only if the data is less than around 500 records.... anything above that, and the exntender will not show at all.... Does the auto complete extnder have a limit on the number of records?.
View 1 Repliesi need to create a page that will ave lots of slider controls on it. about 50 in total. Does anoyne have any examples or good ideas how to handle that many sliders on a single page.
The problem i have is that the ajaxcontrol toolkit sliders seem to behave a bit eratic... eg sometimes you cant slider the slider on select the desired value and sometimes all the sliders disapear just leaving the text box they are linked to visible?
maybe there is a better slider control to use?
I started up a new 3.5 Asp.Net Website using VS2008.
No Asp.Net Ajax enabled Website or Ajax toolkit enabled templates present.
Ajax Extensions tool set is there.
Added the ajaxtoolkit3.5 controls to the toolbar in its new tab. I'm running asp.net 3.5.

Add scriptmanager to the page.
Add a standard control. I tried each one of the following one at a time: Button, Textbox, Panel.
I drag and extender to the window and (/) can't do!
I cannot drag and drop any extenders to my page.
I add reference to the ajaxtoolkit dll that is the bin directory. Does nothing.
I add a Register declaration on the page. Does nothing.
I didn't touch the code behind. Everything there is default including the using statements.

I am developing a web application that needs to retrieve, display and write data to an SQL database. I'm trying to use AJAX and Javascripts in order to populate fields, lists and data, and to have button and calendar controls on the page that can update the page without refreshing and losing the data page. Therefore, it's necessary that I find ways to doing as much as possible client-side, without page refreshes.
Now, for security purposes, I've heard that there's a method for retrieving a copy of all relevant data from SQL at loading time, keeping a copy of it, perhaps on a separate page, and send-retrieve-display this data on my page, and then, at Submission time, write this data back to the Server. This is to minimize hits to the Server and to preserve data integrity. I've heard that doing this is called using an Extender, but we can't find examples of how this works so far.
I'm trying to add a modal popup extender to a site I'm working on, which I've done before, but its not working. The markup below is inside an update panel in my site and the function is in the code file. how I can get this to work? I've tried re-downloading the AJAX dll and replacing it but that didn't change anything and some of the controlsare working (like the slideshow extender but not the hovermenu extender or parts of the html editor control, both of which I also need to use) which leads me to believe my web.config is correct.

I wrote two control extenders that need to be placed always in the same order. Is there any way to make VS always place them in the correct order?
The only solution i found was to place them in a central repository keyed on the target control ID on their init stage - and then have each of them perform its work through that repository rather then directly. but this looks like an overly complex solution for me.
I am using quite a few AJAX toolkit extenders e.g. RoudnedCorners extender, Watermark extender, etc. in my webpage. The problem is that these extendersadd a lot of script code to my webpage causing performance issue. Also, the presence of these extenders works against search engine as the actual content gets pushed down the page, thereby being risked skipped by search engines.
Is there any way where I can move these AJAX control extenders and/or their generated scripts to a different file ?
I have the following that changes the label colour according to an update panel:
<asp:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender ID="UpdatePanelAnimationExtender1" runat="server"
Enabled="True" TargetControlID="UpdatePanel1">
<Animations>
<OnUpdating>
<Color
AnimationTarget="lblSearchResults1"
Duration="1"
StartValue="#FFFFFF"
EndValue="#FFFFFF"
Property="style"
PropertyKey="color"/>
</OnUpdating>
<OnUpdated>
<Color
AnimationTarget="lblSearchResults1"
Duration="1"
StartValue="#FFFFFF"
EndValue="#009685"
Property="style"
PropertyKey="color" />
</OnUpdated>
</Animations>
</asp:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender>
Fine. Works a treat.
However, I also have the following on the same page but within a different update panel:
<asp:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender ID="UpdatePanelAnimationExtender1" runat="server"
Enabled="True" TargetControlID="UpdatePanel2">
<Animations>
<OnUpdating>
<Color
AnimationTarget="lblSearchResults2"
Duration="1"
StartValue="#FFFFFF"
EndValue="#FFFFFF"
Property="style"
PropertyKey="color"/>
</OnUpdating>
<OnUpdated>
<Color
AnimationTarget="lblSearchResults2"
Duration="1"
StartValue="#FFFFFF"
EndValue="#009685"
Property="style"
PropertyKey="color" />
</OnUpdated>
</Animations>
</asp:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender>
This also works a treat. However, the update causes the animation/colour change to fire on both labels when either of them fires.
How do, or what do I have to do so that only one label changes colour one at a time i.e. when UpdatePanel1 updates, lblSearch1 changes colour but lblSearch2 stays as is.
I have several buttons on a page, but have assigned some validators and AJAX validator callout extenders to one button in particular. However, the validator callout extenders seem to be firing even if I press a different button. I thought this was the point of setting a TargetControlID (for the valiator callout extender) and a ControlToValidate for the validator itself!
[Code]....
If I use the extenders (for example mask edit) in place of some of the built in validators such as RegularExpressionValidator for exampe, will Page.Validate() still be called automatically and perform server side validation using the extenders?

View 1 RepliesI've got a page with 3 gridviews (well more than 3 but 3 main ones) on it, each includes a template field which uses a ToggleButtonExtender to display images instead of checkboxes.

View 4 RepliesI recently updated my VS2010 website project from .NET 3.5 to 4.0. Everything was working fine in the website project. Today I decided to migrate the website to a web application project as I have learned this is the best way to work in .NET. I split out all my class files into a separate class library and copied all my other content into my new project. Then I updated all the references and web.config.
When I build the class library, everything works great. The problem is happening when I try to build/debug the web application project. It is acting like all the controls are missing and it is also throwing a bunch of compile errors about the public properties I have in my master pages.
Control errors: "The name 'INSERT CONTROL NAME HERE' does not exist in the current context"
Master page errors:'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition....
It is giving these errors for every single control and master page property in my entire solution.I notice when I add a new web.form to this project, it also adds a filename.aspx.designer.cs file in addition to the .aspx and .aspx.cs file. My existing files do not have these extra files since they were created in a different .NET version.
UPDATE: It seems I was missing the step where I need to right click on the new application folder and select "Convert to web application". I just did that and it seems to be a little bit better...
Now it is choking on Literals that are inside single quotes:
<div class='<asp:Literal ID="CssClassLiteral" runat="server"></asp:Literal>'>
It doesn't see this literal when it does the conversion... Is the above valid code or should I implement that functionality another way?
We've inherited this ASP.NET website. We've already converted it to a web application for different reasons that doesn't matter right now.
But there are 2 folders with 2 .aspx pages inside that does some really ugly stuff (creates a new aspx file with its corresponding code behind and save it inside one of those folders).
So when the proyect was a simple website, that worked, because the created pages on runtime were compiled at request. This is not applicable to a web application.
We don't have time to re-code those ugly pages and do it as it should. So, is there a way to have those 2 pages (and the generated-at-runtime ones) excluded from the project and inside a website that is compiled at request?
It seems like there are a lot of ways but no default. For State management, does ASP.NET use cookies by default?If so, what are the alternatives to using cookies? If not, what does ASP.NET use by default to manage state?

The 404s started when we introduced MVC, so routing must be the guilty party here.
