View 3 RepliesI am having two hidden fields which are server controls and i set the values in the javascript function. But i want to clear them as soon as one of my code behind method gets updated. As my page is not refreshing the hidden fields are not getting cleared. But i dont want page refresh.
So how do i clear the hidden field values without refreshing the page.
From the master page of my ASP.NET site I need to set the value of a hidden field in every get and post request and then subsequently read it in the next request.The problem is that in the post request the code works fine but when the client sends a get request I am unable to read the value of the hidden field from teh Master Page. Is the hidden field the proper approach to this and if so how do I read the value set in the hidden field in the subsequent get request. If the hidden field is not the proper approach for this then what else should I use?

set the width of the datagrid and hidden the head?
I have scenario, where there are html hidden fields, the page can be redirected to itself, with parameters, I have sessions too. Now depending on session value I want to set some hidden values, so that it can be picked up from javascript and can do certain operation. But, the problem is I have no idea about how to get/ set values into html controls using asp.net, and also do not know whether this is possible or not. it is imperative that I need some way to hold some data that can be set using asp.net and can be picked up by javascript. Since session can not be used for this purpose, so I need some other way.
View 2 RepliesI've been using .NET for a little while now. And, I now want to learn to use it the RIGHT way. And, by that, I mean I shouldn't be using hiddenfields on my .aspx page and setting values for those hidden fields in my codebehind. Problem is, I don't know how to ask the question.. so bare with me.. getting a value from a gridview, detailsview, or in this case a DataList when it's bound on a .aspx page, and passing it into my stored procedure? Here's my code of how I do it now..
here's the label for the Department from my datalist, which is on my .aspx page
<asp:Label ID="lblFullDept" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("FullDept") %>' />
here's the hidden field from my .aspx page
<asp:HiddenField ID="hdnFullDept" runat="server" />
And now for my code behind - where I find the value during the databound of the datalist, and then set the value equal to the hidden field.
Protected Sub dlInfo_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs) Handles dlMnfo.ItemDataBound
Dim lblFullDeptCompare As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("lblFullDept"), Label)
hdnFullDept.Value = lblFullDeptCompare.Text
End Sub
And finally, the sql portion, where the value is passed as a parameter...
Protected Sub doInsertActivation()
Dim conn As SqlConnection
Dim comm As SqlCommand
Dim reader As SqlDataReader
Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("xyz").ConnectionString
conn = New SqlConnection(connectionString)
comm = New SqlCommand()
comm.Connection = conn
comm.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure
comm.CommandText = "abc123"
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("Department", hdnFullDept.Value)
conn.Open()
reader = comm.ExecuteReader()
reader.Close()
conn.Close()
End Sub
Yes, this works, but I just feel like I need to learn a more efficient way of doing this, as I'm constantly grabbing data and inserting it into sql.
I am getting unlikely html tags for hidden fields in my website when redirecting to the page. I do not get it all the time but I am getting it frequently. e.g.: I was support to get
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET"
id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
but I am getting something like
tyinput type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET"
id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
and this error is displayed in top of the page.

View 1 RepliesCan I reach the value of hidden fields in controller action ? And how ? Do I put it in the model somehow ?
EDIT: some code example how to store something in hidden field and retrieve it on postback.
According to MSDN hidden fields section,
In order for hidden-field values to be available during page processing, you must submit the page using an HTTP POST command. If you use hidden fields and a page is processed in response to a link or an HTTP GET command, the hidden fields will not be available.
If I add a HiddenField control at design time and set a value in it at design time or in the Init event in ASP.NET, why would I not be able to read/process the value when a page is first requested?

How can i do the this cookiles suff above...?
I use hidden value to keep the url to redirect to next page. May be i sould not keen on using hidden value, session variables are better?
According to MSDN and the MCTS self-paced training, asp.net can use Hidden fields for client-side state management. The book material goes on to say view-state is more secure than hidden fields because the data is encrypted. I must be missing something here. I setup a Label and made it hidden. I can store data in this hidden label and it won't even be sent to the client browser. This not only works like server side state (note the runat=server), but this seems more secure than view-state because there's no need for encryption as the client can't even see the field.
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Visible="false" runat="server">secret info</asp:Label>
<input id="Text2" type="text" style="visibility:hidden;" value="secret 99" />
I have a form as
<form action="" method="post">
<input name="Descripcion" type="hidden" value="" id="Descripcion" runat="server" />
<input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="Comprar" />
Instead of clicking on submit button i want that the form should be posted without clicking submit button with hidden fields
I am using hidden fields to save some preset data, but upon postback they appear to disappear.
Here's what my controller actions look like:
[Code]....
The view is coded like this:
[Code]....
But when the POST action receives the object back, some of the fields have become null. The FormCollection, however, contains all values. I realize I could just take everything from the formcollection but it's probably better practice to use the object, right?
I have been trying to set the value of a hidden input by using Javascript and then access the value from within my C# codebehind. When I run the code that is copied below, the value that is assigned to assignedIDs is "", which I assume is the default value for a hidden input. If I manually set the value in the html tag, then assignedIDs is set to that value.
This behavior suggests to me that the value of the input is being reset (re-rendered?) between the onClientClick and onClick events firing.

i have a country dropdownlist (asp.net server side control) where in i wish to set United States as first country from list of alphabetical countries in drop down. How should i do that?
Plus on selection of country the respective state gets fired up. So if USA is selected in country by default, the states need to be selected by default (Of USA of course!!!)
Below is the code of country dropdown.

I have a user control which has a gridview with hidden fields in some of the template columns. The grid columns are created and bound by code dynamically in each postback and not in design mode. The gridview is placed in an update panel. In my aspx page where i use the user control , there is a dropdown which fires postback and based on the selected value of the dropdown the grid data gets filtered. The dropdown in aspx is not part of any update panel.
After the postback of dropdown, the grid data gets filtered and the grid is rebound with fresh values. The values in the controls like label, button or link button are bound correctly. But the values in the hidden fields are not refreshed and always points to the values of the rows that was generated before the postback of the page (initial page load).
I'm binding data to my dropdown as follows:

So my dropdown will be populated with a list of years that could be different depending on the SchoolID passed in. I want my default value to be the max returned in the SELECT query minus 5 (so in other words, the max index minus 5). For example, if my list of years was:
