Web Forms :: Adding Controls To Master Page To Manage Application Testing?
Aug 31, 2010
I have Web Application which uses the Logged In User (Authenticated User) to query his Profile Data from Adabas/Unix using OLEDB. The application provides the user with about 21 different pages (Basic Info, Employment Info, Education, Dependants, Financial Info ...).
The web application has a master page, and each profile data page is based on a User Control loaded in the Child ASPX Page.
The Data Layer of this Web Application will have to undergo major modification, since we are migrating our legacy applications from Adabas/Unix to SAP, the development Team has prepared web services to query for the same Profile Data from SAP using Web Services. Now, we have to modify the web application to consume the web services instead of using OLEDB to query Adabas.
Since we are in the testing phase, and we have only very limited data in SAP, I have to provide temporary control to allow test query the Staff Profile for a Specified User (instead of the Authenticated User) and to select the Source:
1. SAP, or
2. Adabas.
So I am thinking to add the following "Control Section" in the Master Page:
[Code]....
See image below to clarify:
[URL]
Becuase the users defined in SAP are based on Dummy Data, so we want to allow the user to Enter the required SAP User, and he will select "SAP" from the Drop-Down-List. In this case, the program will query for Staff Profile Data from SAP for the specified "Staff ID" (txtSAPStaffID) instead of the Authenticated User. But, if "Adabas" is selected for the "ddlDataSource" then, it will default to the Authenticated User.
I noticed that when I am following the above technique, if I press "Go", the Staff Profile Data Page is disappeared, and when I navigate from page to another, the selection on the values entered in the "Control Section" in the master page are reset to default value, ie, the last values are not maintained.
Questions:
1. What is your feedback on the method I followed above ? Any other recommendations? I need very simple method.
2. Why the data page (the child page of the master page) is cleared (disappears) when I press the Go button ?
3. How to maintain the values selected when I navigate from one page to another ?
i have only basic Knowledge of Master Page and a Small Knowledge of CSS,
Now i have to Create a MasterPage with Menus, images, header, footer etc, as Educational Website must have.
Exmaple or any Link Through Which i can Learn how to use id and Classes, div Tag to Divide The Page, and id and Classes to give Nice Look to Menus and other items,
I need to add Meta tags, description and keywords in aspx page. My aspx pages are in master page and I have already added meta tags and description in my Master Page.
Now I want add in my other pages also so if someone search my site on GOOGLE it should look like same as this:
First i had taken Default.aspx Page .after that i added master page to my project.Now i want to include this master page into default.aspx page I was mention master page attribute in Page directive of defult.aspx.
Now problem is i am not able to Get the attribute of <asp:contentplaceholder>.
I am having menus on the left side of the master page.I am also having the html pages related to the menu link. Based on the menu selection i would like to show the corresponding html pages as a content to the right side of the master page.
The html pages shoud need to be shown just like the other webforms are shown on the right side of the master page pased on the menu selection.
i'm trying to add a CSS class to a control in a nested master page.what i usually do with a master page is adding this to the nested page:
[Code]....
after i give id=left_a and runat=server to a control in the master page.but when i tried to do it from a page nested in a nested masterpage, it gives me an error.what i want to do i add a class to a control in the nested master page from the nesting page.
Is it possible to inherit a sharepoint master page(as a parent) in another application's master page which will be treated as child (i.e. after integrating that standalone application with the sharepoint application)? I am totally new to Sharepoint..
I am creating Dynamic Checkboxlist controls and adding them to a Panel. It works well when I do not have a Master Page configure to this webpage. Once I have a masterpage congifured.. I get a "Object Reference not set to instance of object" error on the Panel_Control.Controls.Add(Checkboxlistnew) line:
I am adding text fields to a page from the database. I set the .ID to match the record ID from the database. Of course becasue the text field is on the masterpage, when I grab the .ClientID, it is ctl00 contentMain$ctl00. what I don't get is where is my ID? If I set it to say AB how do I find the textbox by AB? I thought it should have AB in the ID somewhere. ID is nothing which I don't get either. I'm looping through the controls in a placeholder like this
For Each row In dtData.Rows() Dim c As Control For Each c In phTextRequired.Controls If c.UniqueID = row("CustomFieldID").ToString() Then
Again though what is in the row() is say AB but the id is way off from that.
<asp:Content ID="TitleContent1" ContentPlaceHolderID="PageTitlePlaceHolder" runat="Server"> My Page </asp:Content>
This works by placing the content page specific title on the page ("My Page" in this example). Now I want to add a global prefix to the title in my master page for the site name. So I want:
I come from a windows dev environment so the web makes me feel like a big dummy.
I am using VS2008, VB.NET, 3.5 Framework, ASP.NET, AjaxControlToolkit.
I have included a screen shot that might help to look at while you read my attempt to explain my issue below!
I just recently discovered in a book here on my desk how to interact with a master page programmatically from a nested master page or a regular aspx child page. The method they describe makes sense and is familar to me because they use Public Properties on the master page to manipulate the GUI and controls on the master page. But since they are public, the child pages can see them and fire them off. Makes sense.
I thought I could use this method to do the opposite of that and have the master page fire off something (say a public property in a nested page) to have it then do some work and update things on that nested page.
For example,
I have a MASTERPAGE.MASTER. Under that, I have a LEFTNAV.MASTER (so its a nested master page). Then, under that I have my default.aspx page.
(I did that so that for some of my regular aspx pages I could just tie them directly to the master page so that they dont have a left navigation page...like for big charts or graphs, etc. Is that the best way for that by the way?)
So on the masterpage, I have just a simple asp.net search textbox and an asp.net search button. When they type something in and click search, I want it to add a tab to the AJAXControlToolkit - TabPanel that I have on the default.aspx page, then some other things such as update a datagridview there with the search results.
I can do all of this except the event firing and scope. I cannot see a way to make a button on the master page up top fire off an event that is on the default.aspx page to make it do what it needs to do.
What I tried doing was creating a public property on my default.aspx page. I have some actual code in the SET to do some GUI manipulation and change some stuff on the page. But on my master page within the search button's click event, I cannot see where to call this public property on the default.aspx page...
What are the steps to implement webparts into an existing application that already has been set up to use asp.net membership? I have yet to see how to get this to work. The only thing I am accomplishing is generating the following error:
The specified connectionStringName, 'LocalSqlServer', was not registered. (C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Configweb.config line 312) at System.Web.Configuration.ProvidersHelper.InstantiateProvider(ProviderSettings providerSettings, Type providerType) at System.Web.Configuration.ProvidersHelper.InstantiateProviders(ProviderSettingsCollection configProviders, ProviderCollection providers, Type providerType).
So, what is the deal here? Is it because my site uses masterpages? I have profile, roleManager, membership and connectionstrings in my web.config. I tried adding a webpart section, like I found on one website, to no avail. I was still getting the 'LocalSqlServer' error bunk.
I am trying to add a .aspx page in the project , but while adding the .aspx page i am not getting the option to choose existing master pages. I remember long back i used to get that option to select the master page.
I seem to be having problems with something that I thought would be simple
I have
[Code].... [Code]....
and I get the error "object not set to an instance of an object" - I have moved it from prerender to load and tryed all sorts of things, but I get the same error.I am just trying to add a literal control to the masterpage from the masterpage code behind
looking for information on how to do this. our company has one website, with several different applications. the way we have set it up is that we have been creating these different applications as websites, we have one Master page for the whole site, so when we create a new website we also create a virtual site with our master page in it. We are using VS 2008 now and what we want to do is make the change to creating web applications but I have not been able to figure out how to bring our master pages into the application, without bringing the actual pages into the app. the only thing I have been finding is people creating the master page file in the web application, that will not work for us, as we have to many applications and if there is a change in the master page it has to show on our whole website, so we need to either be able to bring our master page in as another project or set it up as a virtual directory, or reference it in the web.cofig somehow, but the master page needs to stay in it's own directory and only referenced.
i'm having this issue, in ASP.NET MVC 2 where I'm adding a drop down list on the master page and filling it with data from an abstract master controller. When an option is selected an submit button clicked, it reroutes you to a new page. so lets say
the page lives on http://domain.com/landingPage i'm on: http://domain.com/landingPage i select option and submit takes me to
http://domain.com/landingPage/Projects/FramedPage i select again and now the post tries to go to:
http://domain.com/landingPage/Projects/landingPage/Projects/FramedPage because of the action="" i have set on the form tag.
This is the content in the master page as you can see there are 4 menu items i tried to form as sidebar and i tried to inherit in home.aspx(one of the content pages) as follows:
But unfortunately the sidebar is not at all getting displayed. I know i'm doing fundamentally wrong some where. My intention is to have web pages to have sidebar like this. It is a screenshot of my intended page.
