View 2 RepliesI have been given the task to create a TAB control ( probably the Jquery tab control) as the company wants the Lazy loading of data.
The tab control should not have fixed items on it. It should be reusable in different projects . So I cannot fix the items in the tab control. Depending upon the project the tabs can change.
Need some great ideas on how I can achieve it.
Note: I am using MVC, VS 2008, C# for my development.
I am trying to write a simple library for MVC2 projects that takes care of user login, e-mail validation, password recovery, logging, etc. Since some of these steps involve user interaction, I need to have Views and Controllers in that project.In MVC2 Preview 2, one could do this by abusing areas (at least, it seems) since they were implemented as different projects. However, in the RC, creating a new area will merely create a subfolder. Since I want to share the base code between applications, that is not an option.I tried to brutally hack the AfterBuild steps into my project files, but that feels like the craziest hack ever.

Need to add this user control in a grid view as column.While clicking the column,date time picker has to be displayed.Which is the suitable method,Creating the component or creating the user control. Also want to know, How to add this component in to the toolbox?
View 2 RepliesIs is possible to build a form, accept parameters and from THAT construct a new .ascx page AND the code behind for that page? What I'm proposing is having some code snippets that just need parameters added and can then be used to create a web user control that can be added to existing pages. This .ascx file would be a real file after creation, not dynamic every time.
View 1 RepliesScenario:
platform: ASP.NET 4.0, MVC 2.0 (doesn't have to be MVC if it's not the right solution)
Create various widgets that inherit the same core markup:
[code]....
The above "simplified" example should be in some reusable control or masterpage.
The flow is something like this:
Controller -> View -> Partial View (1..n) -> widget markup
User instantiates an action which calls a controller. The controller tries to render a view that contains content + multiple widgets (left rail, right rail, etc). The Widgets all have their own individual partial views but each partial view should inherit or consume a base set of widget markup and have controller areas where to embed functionality.
Functionality in the head, body, and footer can either be plain text, HTML, or additional custom controls.
What is the best recommended approach?
We have a number of projects and across projects cerrtain forms are duplicated.
Is there a way that I can create one form and reuse it across multiple projects?
I have .ascx web user control in my web site. Now I want to make dll for that .ascx file. let me know steps how can I make .dll file for that .ascx web user control.
View 2 Repliesis anybody interesting in share and join to develop callback web controls. My purposes is lower unsynchronized page development cost. I have developed a base class and a set of common controls. Currently, they allowed to be loaded dynamically in a control or ASCX via callback event using sample server side code. Control library code will automatically register javascript and render it on client browser. These controls worked fine in both callback and postback. To load dynamically from an ASCX file.
'ascx1.ascx contain some callback-able controls
Private Function LoadAscx_DuringCallback(Optional ByVal RenderMe As Boolean = False) As String
Dim rt As String = ""
div1.Controls.Clear()
Dim c As Control = LoadControl("~/Test2/ASCX/ascx1.ascx")
c.ID = "ascx1"
div1.Controls.Add(c)
If RenderMe Then rt = CallbackManager1.RenderControlHelper(c)
Return rt
End Function
Or to load dynamically as a control
'c is a callback-able TextBox
Private Function LoadControl_DuringCallback(Optional ByVal RenderMe As Boolean = False) As String
Dim rt As String = ""
div1.Controls.Clear()
Dim c As New ACT360_CallbackControls.ZYH.TextBox
AddHandler c.KeyUp, AddressOf TextBox_KeyUp
AddHandler c.GetFocus, AddressOf TextBox_GetGocus
div1.Controls.Add(c)
If RenderMe Then rt = CallbackManager1.RenderControlHelper(c)
Return rt
End Function
I have to build a few ascx partial views in my MVC applications to encapsulate re-usable functionalities as well as archive SOR and SOC. However, I encountered challenge how to encapsulate the business logic that drives MVC ascx views.In webforms, the code behind of an ASCX control can handle a button click event and browser still shows the same page with only one postback. How can I archive the same thing in MVC? When ~/Address/Edit/2 includes an ascx partial view with a button on it that calls another MVC action - let's say ~/ShareController/CommonAction - what is the best way for the CmmonAction to return to the very same view that includes the ascx file?Perhaps I am missing a common pattern in MVC web development?
View 5 RepliesI am having difficulties how to construct my question, but if I have to put it simply the situation is that I have categories of products. I have an aspx with a repeater on the left that lists the categories. And I want the products to be listed on the right. Category number is variable so I made an ascx with a DataList in it. When I try to do foreach category, ascx = new ascx(); then the DataList within this ascx control is null.
ps: what I want to do is to preload all the products (thre is not much) and hide the divs and fadein fadeout them using jQuery when a category div is clicked.
rightnow it is using jQuery.load(); and I don't like how the images load, cuz they download from top to bottom. Progressive gifs alsdo not an option. site demo is here [URL]
I'm developing second language support for the site. So I made duplicate .ascx and .aspx files for existing ascx.cs and aspx.cs
Most of the time everything works fine.. but suddenly I'm getting:
Type 'ctrl_car' exists both in 'c:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files
zhdengined072cc729d5698bApp_Web_xdmblegv.dll', and in 'c:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files
zhdengined072cc729d5698bApp_Web_gkptrzo2.dll' (translated from russian)
ctrl_car ctrl = (ctrl_car) LoadControl("car.ascx");
I have few such strings of code... and same error occurs with one of them. But WITHOUT any changes from me with those files. To fix thaat bug for some time I need to delete solution and website folder and reget them from SS. Solution was converted from vs2005.
Could someone give me a small example how i can make reusable WebUserControl (.ascx) file.Basically i need to make a employee lookup utility where users enters employee id to get Emplyee information.Once the Emplyee information is available, it is used in various data entry tasks by the page that includes the control.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create reusable "zones" but am having trouble figuring out how to give them all unique ids.What I'd like is to be able to create a component which can be put on an mvc page using the usercontrol syntax or using RenderAction or RenderPartial. I want to be able to update these components' content using ajax, so I need someway to reference them by id. However, there is no mechanism in MVC that wraps anything in a div or something like that.
I've learned that if I extend ViewUserControl and put the controls on the page like so:
[Code]....
This way, I can pass the previous ID and put it in ViewData, in case I need it laterThen, I can even go through all my controls on page load event in the master page and get my unique ID and write somekind of register javascript function to the page so that I can do javascript stuff if I want when the page loads.
[Code]....
Is there a more elegant way to do this? I see similar stuff from 'Areas' but never seen an example where someone has put more than one area on a page and then needed to reference them via javascript. This also seems similar to custom templates, but I'm having trouble figuring out how that would work.
I want have a web application that I am putting together - but I have started to see that some of the things I am writing are repeated over and over, example -
GetDepartments() in the code behind has all the database connections and is linked to a stored procedure.All it does is return Department Names' and Ids', ie then bind them to a dropdownlist.My question is this I have seen Class files - I want to know if I can put this type of information in there and just call it whereever I need it in the site and then bind to whichever dropdownlist I need to?I have had a look around the net and even saw some examples by scott mitchell - but it used datasets (.xsd) files etc and dont want to be using them, plus it was a little over my head. Does anyone know of some good simple examples out there that I can follow, or maybe some examples on here?
I have a situation where I need to maintain a large number of related integer values in my ASP.Net 3.5 application. The SortedList seems perfect for this purpose. If this were a Windows app I'd just create a class and setup one method to Set values within the SortedList and another one to Get values out of it.
But being a web app, I'm not entirely sure of the best approach to use. Sure, I could just create one method for Set and another for Get but that doesn't seem very "clean".I thought about creating a UserControl without any visual elements but am not sure if that makes sense.How would you go about implementing such a SortedList in your web app?
I want to build a reusable library of User Controls.
I found this article:
[URL]
While it works for me, but I find it a bit cumbersome to implement, expecially for future maintenance.Also, I noticed that if you create the User Control with code in separate file, it will not work. In this case, you will not get any error, but, the page where the control in registerted will not show (you will get blank page).Why I am getting BLANK result when I develop the User Control with code in separate file ?I appreciate your recommendation on the best approach to implement a library of Reusable User Controls. Also, I did not like the method of Web Controls, becuase they are difficult to implement.
I want to build a reusable control which will enable e to perform add/edit/delete operations easily. All I want to do is give the control a datasource and it will handle the rest.
What controls should I use? I want it to be as user friendly as possible.
In .NET land what would be a good approach for quick prototyping of a concept (i.e. development just on my PC) that could then be extended out to product (users across LAN/WAN), BUT in a fashion that the model/business logic code and data access layer code can be used as is? One thought for example I had as to do:
(a) WinForms with business logic and Entity Framework layer to SQL Server Express on my PC, then
(b) Go then to ASP.net (using the business logic / data library) with SQL Server/IIS
Say you have a for loop which renders a bunch of the exact same control. This is probably done with RenderAction or RenderPartial.
What is a way to ensure that each of these controls in the list gets wrapped in a div with a unique ID?
I need to have a section in my website dedicated to viewing and printing reports.I've created a Reports Table (ReportID, ReportTitle, ReportDescription, ReportCategoryID), so I can display a list of Reports on a page.I also have a ReportCategory Table (ReportCategoryID, CategaoryName, Active).So i could have all the categories in a dropdown perhaps(not sure it's the best option)
Then once a selection is made I can display the reports under that category.Clicking on any of them will then display the report or save it to disk.My question is, should I create a Reports Class? if so, can I get a few pointers
I have implemented AJAX for calling server side function using client side function call i.e Calling server side function using javascript tag by using PageMethod in javascript.
I have few question regarding the same implementation.
[code]....
This FunctionName will be the name of server side function that a developer want to call.
I'm working to move my simple asp.net website to a three layer architecture. Currently I have Linq queries like the one below in my code-behind files. Basically this code snippet retrieves a collection of customer data from the database and then binds it to a grid control.
I'm wondering if someone can guide me on how to rewrite this in order to move it to my newly-created data access layer. I'm thinking I will turn it into a class (e.g. GetUserBoxesByStatus()) that can be reused throughout the site.
var boxes = from p in sbm.Packages
where p.UserID == CurrentUserId && p.StatusID > 1 && p.StatusID < 3
select new { p.PackageTag, p.PackageName, p.DateReceived, p.DateShipped }; [code]....
Some of the options that I've investigated but have not had success implementing are the following:
DataTable --- returning a DataTable seems like the best solution but it also appears to require a lot of potentially unecessarry code to define a table (isn't the data source already mapped in my Linq 2 Entities dbml?)
IEneuerable --- I think I could pass an IEnumerable list between the layers but after reading many tutorials about Linq I'm still a little lost DTO --- Conceptually I think I understand what a DTO is but I am not clear on how to begin implementing this approach POCO --- Again, the concept seems logical enough but I don't know how to put this into practice
how they would tackle this using one of the above or some other solution.
I want to build my navigation so I can use it on multiple views. How do I do this? Nested views? Whats the best practice and show me a quick example?
View 1 Repliesi have made a BaseUserControl.ascx and a ChildUserControl.ascxfile. both have its own code behind file.So what i want, i wanted to inharit ChildUserControl.ascx fileto BaseUserControl.ascx. so whatever in my BaseUserControl.ascx fileshould be visible into the ChildUserControl.ascx,means if i have kept a TextBox in BaseUserControl.ascx should be visibleinto the ChildUserControl.ascx desing view. and it should be accessible into the ChildUserControl.ascx code behind file.
1) Is this possible, if yes then how?
2) if above is possible then How to access BaseUserControl.ascx code behind file into the ChildUserControl.ascx code behind file?
