Web Forms :: Cannot Find Validator.ControlToValidate On Page With Master Page
Mar 2, 2010
I'm using the following code to iterate through a list of validators on the page. For each validator, I want to set the background color for the control its responsible for validating. The problem I'm having is that FindControl method is always returning null. From searching the web, it appears the problem is that the page has a master page. Whether this is the issue or not, it's obvious that the FindControl method cannot find the ControlToValidate control.
Method used to iterate all validators on a page:
protected void ShowControlsToValidate(Page page)
{
if (page == null)
return;
and I want change it's color in behind code so I wrote:
(this.Master.FindControl("HyperLink1") as HtmlGenericControl).Style["color"] = "black";
but below error happen:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

how I can change hyperlink textcolor in behind code?
I looked at your example URL....I have ScriptManager in masterpage how call ScriptManager from masterpage in editorPage.aspx if (Script Manager 1.IsInAsyncPostBack)
I have two web sites, one is a copy of the other.A page that exists in each website references a master page like this:MasterPageFile="~/Dealermaster.Master"This works fine in one site, but not the other. The master page exists in the root dir of both sites. The pages are in a dir called /Pages. If I copy the master page into the /Pages dir and remove the "~/" it works fine. I am debuging both sites in Cassini.
I've searched a fair bit round and tried a number of potential solutions, suggested on their respective threads on various sites, to which none have worked for me.
My objective is to make sure the date entered, and to be stored, is not 'less than' (before) the present datei.e. Booking a reservation for a restaurant.
The first is:
"The ControlToValidate property of 'cvDate' cannot be blank..."
I've tried specifying it in page_load and .aspx source, the same has happened in both, in addition to ValueToCompare. I cant understand why it cant detect it?
I have a control on a master page called "panel1". I would like to access it from my Javascript on the content page. I have tried var panel1 = document.getElementById('<%= panel1 %>'); It doesn't work since it is on the Master page.
I'm looking for a way to dynamically load a master page in order to get a collection of ContentPlaceHolders within. I would prefer not to have to load a page object to assign the master page to before I can access it's controls, but if that's the only way I'll be happy to use it. This is the way I was hoping it would work:
Page page = new Page(); page.MasterPageFile = "~/home.master"; foreach (Control control in page.Master.Controls) { if (control.GetType() == typeof(ContentPlaceHolder)) { // add placeholder id to collection } }
But page.Master throws a null reference exception. It only seems to load at some point when an actual page has been created in the page lifecycle. I even thought of dynamically changing the current page's MasterPageFile on Page_Init(), reading all ContentPlaceHolders then assigning the original MasterPageFile back, but that would be horrible!
Is there a way to load a master page into memory independent of an actual page so that I can access properties of it? My final resort will probably involve parsing the master page contents for ContentPlaceHolders instead, which isn't as elegant but might be a bit faster.
So all I want to do is simply find a user control I load based on a drop down selection. I have the user control added but now I'm trying to find the control so I can access a couple properties off of it and I can't find the control for the life of me. I'm actually doing all of this in the master page and there is no code in the default.aspx page itself.
MasterPage.aspx
[Code]....
MasterPage.cs
protected void goToSelectedPage(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { temp1 ct = this.Page.Master.LoadControl("temp1.ascx") as temp1; ct.ID = "TestMe"; this.UpdatePanel1.ContentTemplateContainer.Controls.Add(ct); } //This is where I CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE CONTROL //////////////////////////////////////// protected void lnkSave_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { UpdatePanel teest = this.FindControl("UpdatePanel1") as UpdatePanel; Control test2 = teest.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("ctl09") as Control; temp1 test3 = test2.FindControl("TestMe") as temp1; string maybe = test3.Col1TopTitle; }
Here I don't understand what it's telling me. for "par" I get "ctl09" and I have no idea how I am supposed to find this control. temp1.ascx.cs
I have a master page setup that is used throughout my site that is basically a header with a menu. I recently added a textbox and a button to this master page which is to be a quick search box that is available anywhere in the site. When a user enters text into the search box and hits the button, I need to load the actual content page which is used to search and show search results (which also uses this same master page), and have the text entered available so the search can be triggered automatically. Again, this search text box and button is now in my master page so it could be triggered from anywhere in the app... it serves as a convenient way to do a basic search from anywhere in my app, without having to first navigate to the actual 'search page' that already exists. You can also navigate to the actual search page, which uses the same master page, where there is many more search options.I'm thrown off by the master page arrangement, which I have not used until this project. What do I do?
I'm trying to find a TextBox in the code-behind page, it's inside a nested master page and also then inside another control container (it's inside ctrlCheckoutShippingAddress also) .
I am using Master page and Content page combination.But how can i access <body> tag and it's event (onload, onunload) of Master page in .aspx page that is not a content page.
I have a master page homeMaster.aspx and many content pages. However the situation is I have few .html pages. Now when a user clicks on a link the html page should get loaded.inside the master page. The problem is these are .html and not content page with .aspx.
I have a master page containing a tree and 3 dropdown lists. I am populating a context menu on right click of each node, and when clicked on any item of the context menu, it navigates to required pages.
My problem is after navigating to the required page, the selected values from the drop down lists and the selected node from the tree are getting cleared.
I can set the selected values for the dropdown lists by making some properties in master page. But how do i maintain the selected node?
In my content page, i have got the valuepath of the right clicked node.
Or is there any other way than setting the properties in master page?
