Web Forms :: Creating Dynamic Category Menu Integrate With Back Office?
Sep 29, 2010
Im developing ecommerce website and i want to add category menu to my website. This category menu should have 2 levels for sub categories as well. I tried navigation controls in ASP.net. But still i cant understand how to create the navigation menu in order to integrate with back office. I understand that i can do this with XML file, But if i want to add new products categories or remove categories, XML file should update automatically according to that. I don't understand how to do that. In brief all i want is create category menu with subcategories and i want to control this from my back office.
I have tried various techniques that some seemed to have outlined and so far none of them have worked. I have a situation where the Page_Load() needs to build a set of <input id=<dynamic name'>> that are build dynamically inside a <ul>. The form gets created fine but when I click the button and look at the results returned to the server I cannot seem to find the input values. Is there a defined way of accomplishing this?

I am working in a project that is a musical website. I want to display the web page with all categories I have. In my database , named Category_Master, I have two fields like Category_Id (which is a primary key ) and Category_Name. I have generated category_Id with NEWID() function. The category_Id is not supposed to display on the web page. But, i have to select Category_Name and according to that , I have to get the category_Id. If I am using Static connection with SqlDataSource, i am able to make visible=false property so that the category_id won't be visible. But , at that time, I can't write code to Select the category_id of the selected index.
If i am using disconnected approach, I filled the dataset with the Category_Master, and binded it to GridView. But, at that time, I can't hide the category_id from the user. I want to select category_id by clicking on the category_name with out displaying category_id ..?

I have two tables... Laptop category and Laptop details ... Laptop of each category is displayed using Imagebuttons in my website... eg: Dell.HP,Compaq and each category is associated with unique ID like 1 ,2, 3, etc.
Based on this category ID when i click on particular image button it should redirect to another web page ( I ve specified the page in each ImageButton's PostBackUrl property as LaptopDetails.aspx ? catId=1 ....). And in Details page I would like to display the sub models of particular Laptop Category...
for eg Dell has three sub models INSPIRON 1464, INSPIRON 15 and INSPIRON 15R
sub models has to be displayed with image and all the details from the database...
I need a help in creating a vertical oriented Menu control with dynamic url's set in there Navigate Url property.Also i need to set the menu items as enable/disable in two different modes say edit/new.
i create example using Northwind database so i create a new website and add new ADO.Net Entity Data Model (.edmx) called Northwind.edmx and i add Categories and Products table inside this (.edmx) file
and add new ADO.Net Data Servuce called "ADODataService" and add it as WebReferences called NorthwindService
so i add new web page and drag DropdownList and Gridview as i want to bind Dropdownlist to all categories and when i select category from Dropdownlist bind Gridview to all Products related to this category
so my code
[Code]....
and my code [Code]....
so when i select category from Dropdownlist nothing happen :(
also you will find commented code in method BindCategory whuch is not work also.
I'll try to explain as simple as I can in text what my problem is. I don't see any other way to make my issue clear.
I have a GridView that uses an ObjectDataSource.
The ObjectDataSource has an DataObjectTypeName defined, so I pass/get complete objects or list of objects to/from the data access methods.
The objects I'm working with, let's say we work with Book objects, contain a Title and a Category, BUT the Category is an object itself. When the Select method is called, we get a List of Book objects, which is perfectly displayed, overridden ToString method in the Category objects within the Book objects.
The problem I face is that I can't find a way to update the category in my GridView. What I did already accomplish is:I used a template field in the GridView for the Category so I could use a DropDownList for that field in Edit mode.
I bound the DropDownList to another ObjectDataSource that gives me a list of CategoryObjects.
So when I enter Edit mode... the row shows a nice ddl with the available categories. It even selects the right original category.
So far so good... but when I want to save my new selection, I get an error that a string (the selected category in the ddl) cannot be converted to a Category object (that's what the Book object, that is going to be used for the update, expects).

I created a new ASP.NET web site project. The project starts with a number of default features and one of them is a menu. The menu has a blue/slate color to it.I want to change the color but can't find where it's defined. I checked the Site.css that is created and cannot find the value that is coloring it.
how to populate the asp:menu from xml directly. But my issue is to do everything from server side. I am using dom model in my dev and so I have to get the nodes from xml dynamically and populate into the Menu and create a flyout with 2 columns on hover of each menu item. Would be great if someone can provide with a custom code to achieve this.
I have created a menu in ASP.net 4.0 which is is rendered as UL/LI
However I am frustrated with ASP as it produces unwanted style e.g. style="position: relative; width: auto; float: left;" in the UL tag according to firebug. I would really like it to render without this.
A second question is the output in firebug is not the same as if I look at the page source i.e. the style="..." is not in the UL? Is Firebug wrong...can it be trusted?
I have seen tons of posting about how to fix the dynamic menu problem but none of them works for me. I have a web application with the menu in the master page and dynmic menu does not show up/partially hidden when not using IE8 comaptibility mode. Does anybody have a fix? I hae tried the "Z-Index" and CSS without any luck.

I am going to deploy my Application on server but instead of specifying connection string (servername .server userid , password) in web.config manually is their any way of entering the server details in the web.confi file dynamically from client side when i first run the application.
in the starting page the user must specify the server details and database name from which he want the data to be loaded .And once i enter the server details it should bepermanently stored in the web.config file instead of dataabse.
have a menu in my master page, but the menu will not show the childlinks when I rollover them after I have iploaded to my hotel. It works when I try it on my local pc.
We have a requirement of creating an input page which might be different for different users, changing will be in terms of number and type of fields. How should I architect this page. Should i create page using "XML and XSLT" or "XML and database fields" or is there any more flexible way to create this type of page. I couldn't visualise the flow in which this should be implemented.
