Web Forms :: How To Find Out What HTML Does Each Server Control Renders
Mar 7, 2011
I try to run each control and then check what html did it render.
But this seems to me as an inaccurate method as whenever we add or remove the properties, or events of the control,the rendered HTML changes. Is there any book/tutorial/article to explain what is the standard HTML rendered by each asp.net control.
I have just run into a situation with a FormView control where any markup that is not given an ID and runat=server attribute is NOT rendered to the browser.
In other words, all of the extranneous markup (h#, fieldsets, legends, divs, labels, etc.) that are in my Edit Template DO NOT render to the browser at run-time. However, if I add an ID to any of those items and add runat="server" then they are rendered.
Has anybody every seen anything like this? Does anybody know what could possibly cause this?
When there is no DataSource assigned to my grid it doesn't render which is great!
When the datasource is empty it doesn't render - also great :-)
I am implementing some custom navigation so i want to know if there is a property that tells me if the dataview is rendered? If it is rendered i can show my custom bits otherwise i don't.
When I try to serialize <%: Html.CheckBox("Something", true) %> in jquery (using form.serialize()) I get two checkboxes, one says true, and the other false. I am aware that MVC renders true, false for checkboxes that are true, so if I wasn't coming through javascript, I'd just check for the presence of true, but how do I know if my checkbox is checked after doing form.serialize?
For the ASP.NET Menu Server Control whose RenderMode is set to "List", there is an "Orientation" property which decides whether the menu would render as a horizontal or a vertical menu. I have compared the two HTML source code and was unable to find out which part of the HTML/CSS code set the orientation of the menu(unordered list).
I have a Sidemenu item in my ASP.NET application like below. There are two types of users in my application (Associates, Managers).When ever Associate Login then I have to disable Manager link. I am not able find visible property in codebehind since it is a HTML control. So need your support how to handle this
I know this is kind of obsessive, but is there a way to control the order that the TagBuilder class renders the attributes of an HTML tag when you call ToString()?
i.e. so that
var tb = new TagBuilder("meta"); tb.Attributes.Add("http-equiv", "Content-Type"); tb.Attributes.Add("content", "text/html; charset=utf-8"); tb.ToString(TagRenderMode.SelfClosing)
I want to know: what are the basic differences between html server controls and web server control. As I have gone though lots of surfing but couldn't find the exact answer.
When a .NET server control is rendered in a browser it is rendered as a html control. Then how a browser differentiate between a server control and a html control. If the two control rendered as same then how server side events fire for a server control? If u say by using runat="server" attribute then also we can add runt="server" for html controls to work at server side... so then how these are recognized?
I have a web project which works fine on my local development machine.
I copied the project to our UAT server, setup a virtual directory pointing to the project and configured it to run on .NET Framework 4.0. I even added the Default.aspx page to the Documents tab. I configured Directory Security to use Windows Authentication.
When i try to access any web page within this application, IIS responds with a blank page. I looked through the event logs and don't see any errors anywhere.
I need rft server control not HTML based server controls to display and store text as well as images, from which i can get rtf text and can save it as it is in DB.
I'm looking for an ASP.NET control that renders a tree structure, very much like the ASP.NET TreeView control, but filling the following requirements:
Dont uses tables for rendering tree structure. Markup Adhering to valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. Works with AND without javascript.
Also, if the control is licensed under a MIT och GPL licens that would be great, but commercial controls is also of interest.
Do anyone know of any such control? If not, well, then I'll simply have to write the control myself. More fun in my own opinion, but likely more time consuming.
I added a Input (Text) control in my web form and turned it into an HTML server control so its an instance of HtmlInputText class.
If I double click on the control It only adds a OnClick event handler method inside the script tags in the HTML doc of the web form but how to I get to handle its Serverchange event exactly? does VS.net 2008 has no ability to auto wire up the event to the control, do I have to manually wire up the event handler?
is there any way to create a server control from html string, i mean in code behind i have a string like string html = "<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" />";So how to insert it into aspx page and when the page is rendering, it convert my string
