View 1 RepliesI have a repeater which viewstate is disabled, inside i have a textbox and a submit button. Before disabling viewstate i could get the text from the textbox in the submit buttons onClick event. But now it doesnt seem to work.
I dont want to enable viewstate on the repeater as my site get really heavy then. How can I get the value form the textbox when I click the submit button? using .net 3.5
I dynamically create gridview, and in this grid I have template field also
field.HeaderTemplate = New GridViewTemplate(ListItemType.Header, col.ColumnName)
field.ItemTemplate = New GridViewTemplate(ListItemType.Item, col.ColumnName)
grdEmpty.Columns.Add(bfield)
but when enter some value in text box in this template field i lose value on postback. And also on postback I lose all template field and i must re-create this grid.
My goal is: I have button and i want to add new row in this grid, but i want to have old value also.
After witnessing some strange behvior I'm confused about ViewState again :/
My understanding was a textbox needed to have "EnableViewState" set to true otherwise when the you postback the fields contents would disappear.
That's not happening, I created a textbox and button and a label.
The button was set to copy contents of text box into the label when I pressed it.
I did and the text was populated into the label and remained in the textbox?
This was inside an UpdatePanel and the page itself has a MasterPage, so that might have something to do with it, but I have about 50 textboxes on this page all with viewstate=true on, so I would really like to know what controls need to have enableViewstate=true in order o function properly.
This is likely a n00b question, but I can't seem to find any info on how to solve it. Here's the scenario:
I have a Textbox and a RadioButtonList in an UpdatePanel, both with AutoPostBack turned on (they need to be, can't turn it off on the text box))
The user enters some text in to the textbox, then clicks one of the Items in the radio button list.
Because the textbox post back is executing, the radio button is losing the value that the user selected.
How can I workaround this?
I want to disable my viewstate in a form because its too bulky (about 1mb per page) due to retrieving some data from database and in other place on the same form I want to access a control from my master page. but when I set viewstate of Listview to false I'll get following error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. what should I do in this situation? veiwstate is too damn bulky
and here is what I've written for accessing particular control:
Control cc = Page.Master.FindControl("mainContent").FindControl("ListView1").FindControl("itemPlaceholderContainer");
foreach (Control ListItemctrl in cc.Controls)
{
Control lblNewsId = ListItemctrl.FindControl("lblNewsID");
if (lblNewsId != null)
{
Type t = lblNewsId.GetType();
if (t.FullName == "System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label")
{
string newsID = ((Label)lblNewsId).Text;
foreach (Control childCtrl in ListItemctrl.Controls)
{
CheckBox ctrlCB = childCtrl.FindControl("chkItem") as CheckBox;
if (ctrlCB.Checked)
{
//based on DDLAction we will do the things ;)
}
if (childCtrl.FindControl("chkItem") != null)
break;
}//end foreach childCtrl
}
}//end outer if
}//end foreach listItenctrl
We have a problem on a new server where disabling a themed button loses its theme. This happens consistently on all buttons now.
We just switched to a new iis server 7.5 using asp.net framework 4.0
Before, the buttons through out the website have a nice style/theme. These are not set inside each button and there are no classes set specifically for buttons I dont think but I believe inherit the theme from I believe the web.config in either:
All the buttons did display a nice light blue gradient, and when disabled they go a few shades lighter blue
For some reason now in .net framework 4.0 all disabled buttons seem to lose their theme and become the default grey color. Enabling them again brings its theme back
why the disabled button would look different now?
I have a shopping cart page (Cart.aspx) that has a button that will (sometimes) post to a third party payment gateway, if payment is necessary. The payment gateway will process the payment and then do a silent post to my website (Order.aspx) so I can update the order status.
Order.aspx always throws an invalid viewstate error, even though viewstate is disabled on the page.
What's happening is that Cart.aspx (which has viewstate enabled) posts to the payment gateway, and the gateway will post it back as part of the silent post. Even though Order.aspx has viewstate disabled and validation disabled, it still tries to validate the __viewstate field it's being given.
I know setting EnableViewState=false will disable the rendering of the __viewstate field, but if another page provides the field, shouldn't it still skip validation? I tried calling ViewState.Clear() on the Page_Init event of Order.aspx, but ViewState is apparently empty. how to get around this? I don't want to disable ViewState on Cart.aspx (in some cases it may be necessary), but I can't figure out how to clear it on Order.aspx.
I want to be able to find the old value of a asp.net control (textbox, checkbox etc) without relying on events (e.g. OnTextChange event). Something like "someTextboxControl.OldText" would be perfect! I imagine that it is stored in the viewstate and need to somehow get at it via a custom control.
View 2 Replieswhy when I create a checkbox using HTML.CheckboxFor the values remain after postback where as if I just create a simple HTML checkbox in HTML after postback the value is no longer there?
What is the difference between HTML.Checkbox vs. an HTML checkbox? Why does one retain the values after postback and one does not?
I have a bit of javascript that presents a modal to the user with the rest of the page "grayed out." Pretty common these days. The modal allows you to specify a URL which then uses AJAX to serve and display. What I need is that when the control posts back, it posts back to the parent page, not the modal page. To attempt this, I used javascript to alter the target of the modal page's form element to the parent page's URL. When I try this I get the following error:
Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.
This is done locally and as of now, the app will never be on a cluster. I think this has to do with the validation process and .NET doesn't like that I've changed the target. Anyone know a way around this? I really need this to work how I described.
I have a ASP.NET 4.0 webforms site where I have the MasterPage so it is set to ViewStateMode="Disabled" along with the content placeholders being set similarly.
When I'd view my page I'd still see a ViewState field rendered, I then tried adding the ViewStateMode="Disabled" to the page level also but that didn't change anything.
I have an external javascript file which I include to my page on the code behind (as seen below).
My problem is, when I my page makes a postback (not partial one), I check the loaded scripts by using FireBug, and I cannot see the javascript file in the list after the post back. I asusmed once it is included to page on the first load, browser will be caching it so that I do not need to re-include it.
What am I doing wrong?

I tried this in many scenarios and everytime the ViewState is disabled page-wide, NoBot raises an internal NullReferenceException and always returns InvalidBadSession. I suspect that you are referencing the ViewState and it returns a null value which is then used. It's probably a good idea to think about a way that avoids using ViewState.
View 1 RepliesI am having an issue with dropdown list when viewstate is disabled. The selectedindexchanged event fires even for the other events on the page.
I am pasting the code bello. To reproduce the issues I am mentioning change the selected value of the dropdownlist and then click any button the selected indexchanged event fires even thought we didnot change the value.

I have a CheckboxList that seems to load and do everything right, except for when I do a postback, it will not have the Item.Selected property set. I have viewstate disabled for the entire page.
I load it like so(inside Page_Load on every load):
foreach (DataRow service in d.Tables[0].Rows)
{ [code]...
and MyLabel never has any text added to it. I can verify with the debugger that it does reach the _Click's foreach loop, but no item is ever selected. What could be the cause of this?
I am validating my text box with regular expression validator(Email). What i need is if i enter a wrong format and if i click on tab t should not move to next text box.
View 14 RepliesIf I disable the ViewState on a ListView, the events raised by it are no longer ired. OnPagePropertiesChanging is the ListView event I've always used in combination with the DataPager to update the ListView to the correct page once a DataPager item is clicked, but since its not being fired, I'm wondering if there are any other options. My ListView is currently in an UpdatePanel, and I'm caching the results that the ListView is being bound to. I could rebind the cached results on the PageLoad, but I can't think of a good way to determine if the PageLoad is being accessed because the DataPager was clicked, or for some other reason, so this doesn't seem like a good idea
View 2 RepliesI am using a GridView with an ObjectDataSource bound to a DataTable. I am using the GridView for displaying a report, NO editing is being done, just read only, however, I am sorting and paging. I need to turn off ViewState for the GridView to improve performance. After turning off the ViewState I start getting the error messages for both paging and sorting:The GridView 'gridView' fired event Sorting which wasn't handled.This is fine I just need to know how to implement the Sorting and Paging events correctly to leveage the ObjectDataSource. I would preffer not to remove the ObjectDataSource from use, especially if there is a way I can manually wire up the datasource correctly to continue to use the GridView as I had been when ViewState was on.Any help on getting the datasource wired up or a solution for handling the events in the context of the datasource would be great.
View 1 RepliesI have created a composite control with sample details as follows. Basically, the first time on page load the control sets a view state variable and the problem is that on post back (when the button is clicked), the ViewState variable is null. I have researched extensively and I am not able to find a solution. I checked all the Microsoft recommended articles and also from other developers. This approach seem to work for everyone
PS: This code may not work as it is only for illustrative purposes. but this is exactly what i'm doing in my code.
Public class Test : CompositeControl
{
private Button btnTest = new Button();

I have a Wizard server control to collect data and send it as an Email in the last step the problem i think that the page post back and clear the fields:
[Code]....
Now here is the weird thing. First i am running it locally on the built in vs2008 web server.I load my control in fine, do a postback from a linkbutton, locally on my machine it all works fine, no issue.However when it goes onto my host, it falls over with the message:
Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request.Now i also load controls dynamically and use postbacks and things in the admin area of the site...and that works fine, however my front end just keeps failing? See the code behing below:

I have a web page with several databound (via their property's) user controls in a multiview in a formview.
I decided to try Ajax (Adding ScriptManager, updatepanel etc).
All works fine except for the user controls.
The controls I use to contain the usercontrol property values ((invisible) Textboxes or Hidden fields) lose their value when i change from ond multiview panel to another. (In other words: usercontrols on invisible multiview panels lose their property value's). (When I change a multiviewpanel all the property fields turn emty, when i hit the update button of the formview afterwards the emty values are propagated to the database. (resulting in loss of data)) Textbox seems to hold its value, hiddenfield loses its value (when changing from one multiview panel to another).
This seems to be a coplication of the multiview in combination with ajax.
I have two radio buttons that are disabled with javascript when the page loads. RadioButton1 is checked by default. When I click the button to do a postback, the RadioButton1 is no longer checked.
Here's my code sample. The code behind is empty.
<asp:RadioButton ID="RadioButton1" runat="server" GroupName="group" Checked="true"/>
<asp:RadioButton ID="RadioButton2" runat="server" GroupName="group" />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function () {
var RadioButton1 = document.getElementById('<%= RadioButton1.ClientID %>');
var RadioButton2 = document.getElementById('<%= RadioButton2.ClientID %>');
RadioButton1.disabled = true;
RadioButton2.disabled = true;
};
</script>
