Web Forms :: Dropdownlist / Getting To Update Objects On The Page The User Is Currently On?
Dec 1, 2010
I'm working on a school project where my website idea of choice is one that creates mixtapes (well, you'd download them or burn them from the site, but I need not implement that). The site allows its users to create 6 song mixtapes that are then published into a transaction table.
That part I am fine with. Making the selection page is tough. The way I have it set up is that there are 6 columns with 3 drop downs. First the user picks the genre, then the artist WITHIN the genre, and the song from the artist (GENRE > ARTIST > SONG). So, I would need the ARTIST drop-down list to populate once a SelectIndexChanged occured on GENRE. Same with SONG, but it would use ARTIST instead of genre.
Repeat that 5 more times and click a button, and it would create a table and post it to the database.
I have thought up of 2 ways to go about it.
1) Create a session that expires once the user clicks the "create" button. This would be sluggish, as there would be about 12 page refreshes, and 12 session variables I'd need to store.
2) AJAX/jQuery. This way would be awesome, but I have no idea how in the world to write jQuery in such a manner that on an event it calls a method from a code-behind file.
One thing I found out before my brain went to mush (I've been working on this for 6 hours now), is that one way people have done this is to call a non-related .aspx file that serves as a method. The idea is ok, but how do I go about getting it to update objects on the page the user is currently on? I'd believe there is a simpler way to do this, and am looking to you guys for some guidance on how to dynamically update dropdownlists.
firstly a static class only ever exists once and is not an instance. Any static members (ie static int NoOfPeople;) is stored in one place and is shared between all sessions (like the old global variables). Now static methods is where i'm not 100% sure. If I have a static method that doesn't use any other static members could this cause inconstant results, example (this is a fairly pointless method but just a quick example of the top of my head)
[Code]....
So in this example if two sessions (or threads) were to call this at the same time - would they both get back the expected results, because the method only uses private data (a, b and totalToReturn).Im sure this sounds a little simple but I will be using static methods to build user objects and various other objects that there will have to be a 100% garentee that the objects will not get mixed up between sessions and the wrong things return to the user.
I have a user control, that has an update panel and update progress control in it.
I use this user control in more than 1 location on the same page.... problem is, when ucA posts back, I see the update progress control for both ucA and ucB. I assume this is because it is a user control and the update panel and progress are named the same?
Either way - how do I make it so that the update progress only displays for the proper user control?
I've exempted the irrelevant bits of code. Essentially, I am trying to change the URL of an image control inside of an update panel inside of a custom user control from a function called inside an update panel from my main page. Using UpdatePanel.Update() isn't working: I end up waiting for the next full page POST to occur before all the updates I make to CustomControl from buttons within the main page's update panel are visible. I verified that Update() was being called via the debugger: there are no issues in that department.
Here, you can see Custom Control and the Button declared. The button is in an update panel to avoid giving a full POST and causing the whole page to reload.
This control stores images within their own seperate update panels because rerendering the images is very slow (it requires processing arrays of millions of datapoints) and the user only ever needs to modify one image at a time. I'm using Image1 as an example.
I am trying to develop a simple MVC 2 timesheet application for my small business. I have a sort of mock model for now until I have a database in place, just to make things simpler while I develop the functionality.
[Code]....
But then I need to populate a second dropdownlist (taskDropDownList for the tasks associated with a particular customer) based on the selection the user chooses in the customer dropdownlist. But how do I do this exactly? I have seen examples with jQuery, but I'm not sure how to apply them to this situation. Also, the examples seem to just populate the lists with string values. I need to be able to access the objects with all their properties. Because the next thing I need to do is to be able to populate the TimeSegments list of the selected task with values from input fields (i.e. the hours worked for particular dates). And for that to be saved to the "model" (eventually to the database) in the controller, how do I get it there, unless the objects are all part of the same model bound to the View? I'm on rather thin ice with this since I still find the connection between the View and the Controller hard to handle, compared with e.g. Windows development, where these things are rather easy to do.
I searched a lot of threads but still couldn't get my problem fixed. I have to update the "regform" table with two fields: session_ and session2. These two fields are inside the detailview edititem template which bounded to dropdown list drpsession1, drpsession2 separately. I wanted to pass the update parameters to the update sql UPDATE dbo.regform SET session_=@session_, session2=@session2 where id=@id
the @session_ is bounded to a drpsession1 and @session2 is bounded to drpsession2. I used ControlID="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$DetailsView1$drpsession1" to access the dropdown list within the detailview, but still couldn't do the updates. What's wrong with my code? Do I have to use the code behind to specify the update parameters? and How to do it? TIA.
I have an entity generated from my database that contains one table. When i make changes in the DB i obviously would like these changes to reflected in my model.
My current approach is to delete the item from the designer and then right-click - update model from database. This works for me at the moment. Is there a different approach to refreshing these entity tables ?
I have and Article object that I update in my controller.... the object is passed into the controller and then I just call UpdateModel(inArticle) and it was all good. I now expanded my article to belong to a category and want to do that update there as well. I am not sure if it was the right thing to do but just as a start i hard-coded an update to the ArticleCategory table, just after I do the UpdateModel. This works but I am not sure how to code this update?
I am using the repository patter and i somehow feel that I should be passing an Article and an ArticleCategory object from the view to the controller? While I was writing this I thought that I could just extend my article object to include the categoryID but what if I really wanted to pass two un-related objects from the view to the controller? The UpdateModel persistes the database objects as by VoodooMagic, how would it work if I wanted to update 2 un-related objects?
have some Objects, lets say Employee and Role defined as below and I have defined relationships in my database that gives me a list of objects say employees and thanks to my framework each employee object also has a Role object linked via the RoleIDID, UserName, Password, Email, RoleIDRoleID, RoleNameSo in code I can do something like this
I know how to bind a simple objects to a dropdown list. However I am having problems binding my objects which contains sub objects to the control.i.e. with simple object i just do ddl.DataValueField = "myproperty" with my objects they contains sub objects which i want to bind. I have tried ddl.DataValueField = "sub-object.myproperty" which doesnt work.
I have been trying to design a form, which uses a view model that contains an object array. I want to set up this form so that when the submit button is clicked, all the members of the array are updated. Here is my code:
The class definition of the array element:
[Code]....
The problem is that when I clicked the submit button, none of the luSubject objects in the array Subjects got updated. But if I set up some initial values for the members of the luSubject objects, for instance, set the Name field to be "Maths" in the constructor of luSubject class, then it got displayed on the text box when the form page was loaded. This suggests that this form could display the data in the array, but cannot update it.
Using ASP.NET MVC 2, I have a model for a view. The view has a dropdownlist of roles that is populated by the model and there is a list below that of checkboxes with a number of privileges. I want to show only specific privileges depending on the dropdownlist selected roleID and have it update the privileges everytime the dropdownlist changes. I know how to do this in web forms ASP.net with absolutely no problem but I cannot seem to figure out where to start in ASP.NET MVC. Can someone please advise me what I need to do or towards a tutorial that will show me what to do? I am a novice in MVC.
I found some code on the web and it threw me off. Look at the code below. You will notice only when the Hits == 1, does the cache get added. After that, the cache object isn't updated. It begs the question, does the object when updated, update the cache as well automatically? The answer here would make me remove some code in some of my classes.
I've written some pages with ASP.net Repeater and GridView objects. I've seen that some other programmers write pages with these objects; but they make these objects do very nifty things.
For example, I've seen pages where a user clicks on a button and a jQuery dialog appears. When the user enters data into the dialog and clicks a button, the data is submitted using AJAX and the gridview/repeater is updated without reloading the page or posting back. What are good practices for accomplishing this?
I have a table in my database with a one to many relationship to another table, which has a relationship to a third table:
[Code].....
This seems to work fine. My question to you good folks: Is there a correct way to do this? I tried following the making a custom model binder per the blog link I posted above but it didn't work (there was an issue with reflection, the code expected certain properties to exist) and I needed to get something going ASAP. PS - I tried to cleanup the code to hide specific information, so beware I may have hosed something up.
I have a Masterpage which contains two contentpalceholder, first one for a Usercontrol and second one for my web forms.
Now I want to change the usercontrol's property of sqldatasource from out side of usercontrol such as some web forms. Can I access objects of usercontrol from the other web forms or masterpage?
I have my gridviews, buttons and labels put into tables:
[URL]
Here is how the page looks when I run it:
[URL]
Then when I select an Order this happens:
[URL]
Why is it when I select an Order and the second gridview pops up theat it moves my text and Ship button down? I thought I had it setup in the tables so this wouldnt happen?
I have a user control with linkbuttons (used for paging) and a repeater inside an update panel. The paging works correctly, but is causing a full page postback every time I click through to the next page.
The update panel looks like this:
[code]....
So far, I have tried adding an async postback trigger for the user control, which does cause an async postback but does not update the rest of the text in the update panel. In otherwords, the async postback occurs and the next page shows up, but the original text in the repeater is there as well just below it.
I have also confirmed that I have IDS set on my linkbuttons, since that can trigger a full postback inside an update panel.
I have tried changing the update panel mode (Always, Conditional, ChildrenAsTriggers, etc.).
None of it makes a difference - the only thing that actually causes an async postback is to use the trigger, but then the rest of the content in the update panel is not updated, so I get duplicate content.
I use asp:Login control, user can login properly, but while checking user Profile information within LoggedIn event of Login control, all of the fields in the Profile objects are empty. Also, User.Identity.IsAuthenticated always returns false. But, all of these issue solved while navigating to another page. Why User.Identity.IsAuthenticated returns false, even user logged-in properly? And, is there any way to get user's profile information within LoggedIn event of Login control?
