Setting Values For Invisible Fields / Properties In DetailsView?
Mar 16, 2011
I have a DetailsView which has two fields - one that is visible, one that is not. The first the user fills out, the second I want to auto-populate. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a way to set the value in this second invisible field. I've tried adding code like this to the Page_Load:
If Not IsPostBack Then
DetailsView1.DefaultMode = DetailsViewMode.Insert
Dim txt1 As TextBox = DirectCast(DetailsView1.FindControl("Type"), TextBox)
txt1.Text = "administrator"
End If
But this returns an error of "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." how to accomplish this - either using the method above or another method? The hoped for end result is that when a new record is inserted via the DetailsView that this record will include the username (entered by the user) as well as the "type" of "administrator"

I have some user controls which have properties which need to be set from a form on the page
<uc1:MyPlugin
ID="MyPlugin2"
runat="server"
Property1="Hi"
Property2="0" Property3="<%=Property3%>"
Property4="<%#Property4
%>"
/>
Property3 and Property4 anre both public properties of the page I am on and the user control
Currently the code complaing about Property3 saying it cannot create an object of Int32 from '<%=Property3%>' and Property4 always gets set to 0 (the default)
I do not wish to use the c# code to set these values as this Plugin will be deployed with a CMS which I have no control over

I've written a class that contains Select- and Update-Methods for an ObjectDataSource. The UpdateMethod receives an instance of a called class. My problem is, that only properties that are Bound in the DetailsView are set, the others have their default value.Here's my code:Class declaration:
public class Foo
{
public string Prop1 {get;set:}
public int Prop2 {get;set;}

Im not sure what i could have done wrong here but i created a dataset (ran a query and it returns the correct data) - created my BLL class - bound the ObjectDataSource to the control using the BLL - ran the site and all the data is showing as expected. Now i click edit columns (from DetailsView smart tag) and the selected fields are empty. I refresh the schema and this makes no difference. What could i be doing wrong?

Background: I open a page that has a detailsview control using Accessdatasource. It is automatically opened with the row I want to update as I get there by passing the key as a URL parm. The update works for all fields except 2 template fields I added. I added a field for update date and updated by which I want the code to populate in the code behind so the user does not enter it. I have the same login on another page using an insert and it works fine. I cannot figure out what is wrong on the update and I tried everything. The code behind is in the OnItemUPdating event. code behind:
protected void set_update_date(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox tbdate = (TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("TextBox_update");

I have a query expression which I am binding to a GridView in Page_Load. The data I want to capture in the SelectedIndexChaned event is in a BoundField defined thus:
<asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" ReadOnly="True"
SortExpression="ID" Visible="False" />
If I set Visible="True", I have no trouble getting this data. Is there a way to hide the ID field and still get the data?

I'm getting a List back from a WCF service and I want to set it to be the datasource for a grid. When I databind I get the error that "Deviceheader" is not a property of someObject.
<td><%# Eval("Deviceheader.DeviceID") %></td>
That is true, it's not a property, it's a public field
public class someObject(){
public DeviceHeaderDc Deviceheader;
}
How can I databind to these fields since they are not implemented as properties? Any suggestions? I'd like to avoid writing wrapper objects with property implementations if at all possible.

I am relatively new to ASP.NET. I am just wondering if there is way to read values from properties file (similar to rading a properties file from JSP or java).
For example if a property file has something similar to this:
[Code]....
I would like to read all the values for username_list (comma seperated) and also the value of is_valid.

Is there any easy way to set properties of a Page (or UserControl for that matter) from *within itself*?As an example, I have several .aspx pages which inherit from exactly the same code-behind class, but I need to be able to pass different properties to the class to make them do the correct thing for the specific .aspx.
The only way I've found to do this is to create the following - which works fine, but doesn't feel right....
<script runat="server">
Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
Me.MyProperty = True
End Sub
</script>
It would be a much nicer, simplier and easier solution to be able to be able to set MyProperty = True somewhere... is this possible?The option of hard-coding properties within the class for the "parent" page is not going to work for my situation.

Some settings in asp.net like viewstate can be controlled at the site (web.config), page, or control levels. What is the order of precedence? What happens, for example, if I set viewstate of site and page levels but on at the control level?
Also, is viewstate for a control the same as control state? Furthermore, what events to use for loading and saving viewstate for controls (is this the same thing as control state?) and also for custom controls?
Similarly, which events should I use to render controls? Is this PreInit and Load? Is this the same for custom controls?

I am using hidden fields to save some preset data, but upon postback they appear to disappear.
Here's what my controller actions look like:
[Code]....
The view is coded like this:
[Code]....
But when the POST action receives the object back, some of the fields have become null. The FormCollection, however, contains all values. I realize I could just take everything from the formcollection but it's probably better practice to use the object, right?

We are trying to use a BasePage class (which inherits from Page) to populate and set the Meta Keywords and Meta Description Tags. I am using masterpages and below is an example code extract... According to examples on the internet, I could then set this also via the Page Directive using the MetaKeywords and MetaDescription properties, but they do not appear.
I have tried setting the CodeFileBaseClass="MyNamespace.UI.BasePage" but this does not work either. Using debug I can see that the BasePage classes' MetaKeywords and MetaDescription properties are not being set within my content page. I can access the properties but not set them.
== BASEPAGE CLASS ==

== PAGE CLASS ==

I have a user control (i.e. ascx) that comprises of two related list boxes (i.e. once you change the selected item in one list the contents of the other list update). I'm adding this user control dynamically to a page on the click event of a button (i.e. using LoadControl).I wish to set the list box datasource properties, as well as the default selected item of the parent list from my parent page so I created public properties in my user control to accomodate this. I also created an event in my user control that notifes the parent page when the selected item changes in one of the list boxes so I can update the contents of the other list box.
I understand that I have to recreate the user control on every postback in order for it to function correctly but I'm not sure exactly how I should be doing it. I've shown below what I have currently - whilst it works the problem is that on postback I'm always creating the user control with all its default properties and then updating the properties that need to change(?). For example, when the choice in theparent list box changes the datasource of the list box is set twice (once in AddControl and then again in OnParentChanged)? As the contents of the list boxes originate in a database it means I'm making unnecessary calls to the database (unless I do some something like store each unique set of data in the ViewState).
I'd be very grateful if someone could review how I've done things and illustrate how perhaps I should be doing things. I'm not sure if the way I've done this is considered the 'correct' way. For example there may be a better way of doing things would avoid setting the properties twice? I'm a bit unsure of the way I've set the datasource properties of the list boxes and bound them. I wished to set the datasource from the parent page because I might have a second user control on my page that may also use the same datasource and I could reuse it (as opposed to each control making its own call to the database) so I'd like to keep this feature if possible.It would be great if posting code in reply that you use my example as a guide so I know what you're referring to.Here's the code for my user control:
