VS 2010 - How To See A Control In Another Content Placeholder
Apr 13, 2012
I'm using a masterpage and having some trouble with my ContentPlaceholders. I have a combobox(DropDownList1) in the sidemenu content placeholder and in my main placeholder I have a gridview. The gridview is supposed to do a select in the db using the selected value of DropDownList1. When I set up the connection SQL within the datagrid, using the wizard; I select to get a parameter from a control and then I select DropDownList1.
Now, When I try to run the page, it returns an error "Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: A control with ID 'DropDownList1' could not be found", however if I move DropDownList1 to the main placeholder, everything works perfectly.
How do I get asp.net to see the control sitting in the other placeholder?
I have a UserControl that has some javascript I'd like to inject into a known ContentPlaceHolder.
I was hoping to do something like the following except when I append to add the control to found control I get an exception which says I cannot modify the control collection in the Init, Load or PreRender events:
Need accessing the rendered content of a PLACEHOLDER control. I dynamically add a web forms page to a placeholder using "TABLE" this works great (cell row table placeholder ) now I wish to take that placeholder and use the rendered page to generate a PDF document.
If it possible to access the rendered code how would this be done?
I am having a slight problem with adding text (output from a stored procedure) to a label control that is nested inside a contentplaceholder (ContentPlaceHolderProductsLeftCol). The page is also using master pages.
Below are excerts of the code - I think I would have to use teh findcontrol property however I am quite lost.
Label name is lastname and is located in ContentPlaceHolderProductsLeftCol
I'm creating an ASP.NET Control which has a property collection for Columns which the user can edit in the Property Collection Editor..
In most circumstances this works fine, the collection can be edited in the designer and the appropriate tags are added inside the control in the ASPX file.
It works fine when
My control is added to the form
[Code]....
My control is added inside an Update Panel
[Code]....
[Code]....
However, if My control is inside a Content Placeholder which is inside an Update Panel, it fails to work as it should. In this scenario, when the Columns collection is edited in the designer, if you then switch back to Source view, the Columns collection is emptied. I have to save the aspx page before switching back to Source view for the changes to be kept.
[Code]....
how to get around this problem? Is there something I may have missed?
I'm attempting to set a class on the body tag in my asp.net site which uses a master page and content web forms. I simply want to be able to do this by adding a bodycssclass property (see below) to the content web form page directive.
It works through the solution below but when i attempt to view Default.aspx the Content1 control loses its content.
Here is how I'm doing it. I have a master page with the following content:
i have a grid which is going out of placeholder (as its bit bigger ), when page is loaded. i would prefer it to stay inside the placeholder or expand the placeholder.
Currently its going out side and when it moved out of placeholder it becomes transparent to the materpage default template.
However, ever since I have introduced the notion of content place holders (from a master page), I am repeated getting the Object Expected error.Now I understand why this is happening, asp.net is amending the control names to take into account the CPH i.e. $('#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radBuyer').attr('checked', true);
How do I go about reslving this issue, effectively 'renaming' my asp.net controls to take this into account?
Is there a benefit from putting a Tabcontainer control on a master page and setting up each of the tabPanels.ContentTemplates to be a content placeholder rather than putting everything into a regular .aspx page?
When I create a default silverlight application in VS2010, I get a silverlight user control and a web site that hosts it. The object tag in the apsx page that hosts the silverlight object has its width and height set to 100%. The silverlight user control takes up all the broswer window and it also grows and shrinks properly as the browser is resized. Perfect.
If I add a master page and child page, in the child page I copy the object tag, still set at 100% height, the rendered page does not expand to fill the browser window/ I can set the object tag height to, say, 600, and it now is static at 600, but I want it to be dynamic just like when it was not hosted on a master page.
I do not believe this to be a silverlight issue, but rather a content placeholder sizing issue. I have tried a lot of diffferent ways to set the height, but nothing I do allows me to make the child page hosted object size itself based on the browser window,
Is it possile to get this to work or is this a consequence of using master pages? I can post sample code demonstrating this if needed.
EDIT: I was able to use a javascript function on window.onload to get the browser height and set the div height that contains the object tag, this works but is not dynamic. I would like it to be dynamic like the non-master page hosted object is.
GOAL: on a web page (vb.net) content in a placeholder will refresh with a different .ascx (user control) every 30 seconds (rotating 3 in total) and of course i dont want to refresh the whole page, just the placeholder.
I'm new at AJAX (that's my first problem - lol)
I set the timer up to call a function, but not sure how to go about refreshing the placeholder with a different ascx file. I'm sure i'll be using UpdatePanel to do this, but haven't been able to figure this out. Easy to replace a value in a label using AsyncPostBack trigger, but nothing on how to achieve this.
After I imported a VS 2008 web project to VS 2010, I can't view aspx pages that have master pages in design mode. The page design mode displays "error creating control - contentplacehoder1 object reference not set to an instance of an object." The project builds and runs fine though. I have only one master page that all other aspx pages reference and I don't have any nested master pages.
how to maintain state of placeholder. i have a placeholder in which i add many image controls dynamically but when my page get refresh all controls from placeholder gets removed from it. the enableViewstate of placeholder is set to true.
I know the content palcehlder does not have a size ,I have a masterpage and content page, the master page has a table with a header, content area, and footer, header and footer are fixed size, content area is 100%. As the user sizes the browser the content area grows and shrinks and the footer stays at the bottom of the browser window - perfect!
Problem: The contentpalceholder does not grow to fill the available content area. Now, the contentplaceholder gets its size from its contents, which in this case is a div holding a silverlight object.I was thinking I could hook the master or child page's re-size event and somehow pass that info onto the SL object, but as it turns out (and I'm surprised I never knew this) there is no aps.net page re-size event! (really?, wow.)
So is there a way to get a SL object hosted on a master page to size itself based on the size of the browser window?Or more generally, a way to size the contents (like a div or panel) of a contentplaceholder based on the browser? on a standard aspx page (not a master page) I CAN get the SL object to size itself based on the broswer, the problem seems to come from the fact that I'm hosting the SL object in a content placeholder.
I guess I could 'unroll' the master page into several standalone pages and have it work, but the menu is on the master page and I'm used to using them, plus it's already done...<sigh>
I am writing an ASP.NET custom control.In my custom control code, I find a PlaceHolder control in the page like so:this.myPlaceholder = Page.FindControl("placeholder1") as PlaceHolder Then, I render the placeholder as the output of the custom control:
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output) if (this.myPlaceholder != null) this.myPlaceholder.RenderControl(output);
However, this causes the placeholder to be rendered in two places - in the custom control output (good) and in the original location in the page (bad).
In my default.aspx page I have a PlaceHolder control within an UpdatePanel. In this placeholder control I will dynamically load a web user control, which is just a form with a submit button. On this user control, I have the form within an update panel and I have the "Submit" button's Click Event added to the triggers.
When I submit the form, the UpdatePanel on the web user control nor the update panel on the default.aspx page are capturing the post back, thus causing a full post back which refreshes my page.
how to capture this post so its rendered in Ajax and not a full post back?
I am using list view to display the the data but i am getting an error like An item placeholder must be specified on ListView 'ListView1'. Specify an item placeholder by setting a control's ID property to "itemPlaceholder". The item placeholder control must also specify runat="server.Even i have specified the itemplaceholder id but no use still same error.
I've created a usercontrol in asp.net webforms (c#) called 'Article' which contains a general layout for an article and has a public property called datasource. the datasource will be populated by a subsonic (DAL) activerecord. In the controls pre-render event it will read the record and populates the labels. I think this is a flexible solution with easy maintenance. My problem however is that when I try to add the control to a placeholder all my controls like labels, literals and the like receive a null reference exception. I'm trying to spawn the controls as followed:
foreach (DAL.Article item in coll) { p7.Controls.General.Article.Article article = new p7.Controls.General.Article.Article(); article.datasource = item; phContent.Controls.Add(article); }
Is there something I've completely missed? It's driving me crazy heheh! Another question is do you guys know if this method will have a big impact on performance. I'm only adding 10 of those article controls per page.
It looks to me that the ASP.Net PlaceHolder control doesn't emit any HTML, and therefore can't be used by clientside javascript or JQuery to add items to the PlaceHolder. Does anyone know of a way around this limitation, or of an ASP.Net control that can be used to dynamically add items by client side code?
