Web Forms :: How To Use A CSS StyleSheet For The Aspx Page On Design Time
Feb 5, 2010
In my company we use a control that renders the <link rel="stylesheet"> tags dynamically at runtime (equivalent of scriptmanager who renders <script> tags dynamically). this control is very good, cause it select the appropriate css stylesheets depending on some criterias. The problem is that on design time for Visual Studio there is no designated CSS stylecheet since there is no <link rel="stylesheet"> tags on the page.
If I put <link rel="stylesheet"> tags on the aspx page (to indicate a design time stylesheet) this tag will be rendered to client and it causes conflicts with tags rendered by the control !
I've always depended on putting a control on an aspx page and double-clicking in design view to create my VB page. But this isn't happening in my current project. It creates an inline script in my aspx page instead. Where is the option or preference or XML file or.... that controls this?
a) Assuming a page has a master page associated with it, then all controls (those declared in master page and those declared in content page) created during design time are assigned declarative values only during an Init event? I'm assuming this since to my understanding controls need first to be put into the control tree before they can be assigned their declarative values? And when page has a master page associated with it, then aren't page's controls put into the control tree only during the Pre_Init or perhaps even during the Init event? Then if that is the case, then isn't the earliest that these controls can be assigned their declarative values during Init event?
b) Assuming our page is associated with Master page and also uses a theme --> skin files are also applied during an Init event, so I assume that during an Init event Asp.Net first initializes controls to their declarative values and only then applies skin rules to them?
I am developing on my local machine, therefore my url is http://localhost/<VirtualDirectory>/ My site is hosted at http://www.<DomainName>.com
For example: my link to css file is <link href="/styles/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> This works fine on on the public site, but breaks on the dev machine because of the addition of the virtual directory level.
I want to add a key to my config file to manage the current location of the site: <add key="CurrentServerLocation" value="http://localhost/<VirtualDirectory>/"/> or
I noticed a behaviour in Visual Studio that the design tab for aspx page does not work if I use a dynamic master page using a base page. I dynamically set the master page to implement theming. It shows a master page error and says "The page has controls that require a Master Page reference, but none is specified".
Is there any solution? Or any work around?
I currently set the base/master page to a default master page in the page for myself and work on the page. Once I complete the page, I remove the master page attribute. I wanted to know if some better method is available.
I installed Rad Controls. Using that controls, I designed my application pages. At design time, the design is not visible. It shows the following error:
RadTabStrip1Failed to create designer 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadTabStrip, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2010.1.415.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4'
When I make a simple change to a style property in a CSS class the change only effects the webform in design mode. It has no effect on the web form when viewed in a browser. Why?
I tried the Hotfix above "Design view does not update HTML" to no avail. Is there a 64 bit version of this hotfix?
I have a very strange problem with my website... I created a rather large page, consisting of a few tables with some labels and textboxes where the user can enter a mechanical car setup (it's for a racing game).
I was working with simple textboxes previously, but I recently switched over to a NumericBox control which should allow only numeric input using some client-side javascript. The NumericBox control is simply a UserControl with a single TextBox on it, and some client side events are added to this textbox which call methods from a single javascript file ("Scripts/numericValidator.js")
When I put a couple of these boxes on a page it works just fine, I can only enter numbers. For it to work though I need to add the script to the page and I do that using this line, either in the head content or in the body content controls:
(the path is chosen with the 'Pick URL' dialog so it should be alright, and it does indeed need to go up two directories first as the page is in the '~/Pages/RequireLogon" directory) However, after replacing most of the textboxes on my large page with NumericBoxes, and adding this script line to my aspx code, the design view is 'broken'. I cannot see any of my controls anymore, and I cannot even put any new controls on there. It seems like the Content control is missing, even though it's still there just fine without errors in the aspx code.
When I remove the script line, the problem is fixed again, the controls re-appear. So it's definitely the script line causing the problem, but I cannot see how it could...I tried it with a new blank page and the problem appears there too. If I use this simple page with just a button:
some time sthe design pages takes longer time to open sometimes its proper the code page open immediately but the design page tekes longer time to open but its not always how do i solve
How to Schedule an ASPX Page to run at a particular intervals of time using Schedule Tasks in Control Panel"? If so can any one explain me in detail "How would I achieve that with neat steps".
We have three options to view any .aspx page in a tab
Design Source Split
How can we view Design and Source in separate tabs for a any aspx page ?
Or if this is impossible!! can we use split option by Vertically splitting the Design and Source ? if later one is possible, I could stretch the view onto two monitors like here as suggested by Nick Craver.
I have created one user control for changing the theme of the page where i have several buttons and on click of each button i am applying the theme of clicked buttons color and for that i have created several css files like red.css, blue.css , green.css etc.
now i want to apply this theme to the page but i am not able to do that from the user control as because i am not getting the stylesheet property in the page and thus i am not able to work further.
can anyone tell me how can i apply the theming from user control to the page its being called.?
I am using technologies Visual studio 2005, .net frame work 2.0, ASP.NET, C#.NET, MS-Office 2003, Chart Director Tool and Operating system Windows Xp.Iam able to create a power point slide using my C#.net code. But I am not getting how to put Chart image in that slide. Using the below code I am generating chart in my .aspx page.
I have a webform that has a master page. In the web form I have a dropDownList it has PostBack=True, cause every time I changed the option I concat paratemer (item choosen) at hyperlink's navigate url property, for example I have 2 items:
id text 1 Option1 2 Option2
If the users select Option1 then concat at the url "?option=1" The problem is, that when I choose one option and then click at hyperlink everything goes right, but at the second time I choose an option the browser try to download de page itself aspx. update: even if I click at other hyperlink or link button after choose an option and click the hyperlink, the same thing happens (the browser ask me for download the page aspx)
I have no idea how to avoid this behavior at browser and it happens just at server with the IIS not while I'm testing at VS2008, update: ah I almost forget, if I click "cancel" at the prompt of firefox, then everything goes right again, until the next time I choose other option and click at the hyperlink, then everything goes wrong again...
where do i add <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" > in content page.
its compile time error.but i need to resolve it.
i am using visual studio 2005. i have added head content place holder in master page but it says no asp tags are allowed in <head><title></title> section.
i know its easy in visual studio 2008.but having hard time with visual studio 2005.
I have a master page with two css stylesheet links that work correctly. I have a child page with one css stylesheet linked to it.
My problem is this... The stylesheet attached to the child sheet is not working. After some research I discovered (or assuming) it is because of the renaming convention so the stylesheet cannot find the actual controls because they were renamed. I haven't tried using the renamed ids as I am just assuming that would work. I would like a cleaner approach, say... if asp is going to rename the id's on the child page it should know that there is a stylesheet linked and rename those too.
I have an .ASPX page that runs some C# code-behind for about 60 seconds after the page is requested. After 60 seconds, the page appears as expected in Internet Explorer.During this 60 second time period, IIS will not serve new requests for OTHER .ASPX pages. However, .HTM files continue to be served fine. The CPU is only at 1%.Is it true that IIS only can process one .ASPX request at a time? This can't be true. All IIS settings are default.
We have two installs of VS 2008. One on a machine that previously had 2005 installed and one on a new [clean] machine with no previous Visual Studio install.The clean machine install went fine, however when we open an aspx page in design view the layout is "scrunched" up. In source view the text matches the text in source view [of a copy of the same aspx page].In design view on the 2005/2008 VS installed machine, the layout is fine.Layout on the page is done in a "Table", with various text boxes, buttons, gridviews.
And just to reiterate, the aspx file in design view [using VS 2008 SP1] on the machine that has VS 2005/2008 installedlooks fine, no problem.The same page loaded in design view on the clean machine with VS 2008 SP1 installed is "scrunched" up.For example the gridview that should be at the top right of the page is in left-center of the page and the gridview that should be at the bottom-center of the page is also at the left-center, directly on top of the gridview that should be at the top right sideof the page.Have compared the config of VS 2008 on both machines and can't find a problem!
I'm using VS 2008 with the AjaxControlToolkit and at design time I am dragging some regex validators on the page.
Prior to yesterday, when I did this, the design time control allowed me to click a little arrow in the upper right hand of the control and add an extender.
Well, now that ability to add an extender at design time is gone, and I don't know what happened.
design code is above and following error occured "WebForms UnobtrusiveValidationMode requires a ScriptResourceMapping for 'jquery'. Please add a ScriptResourceMapping named jquery(case-sensitive)."
I have the user control and web page. When I place user control in the web page and in design time, it cannot view and error is "System.Web.UI.UserControl does not have a public property named 'ContentTemplate". It seems not related of error message.
I am trying to find the best way to concatenate two strings and set the result to the text property of a label during design time.Here is what is not working:
I have Text="<%$Resources:labels, btnLinkNoText%>" and Text='<%# Bind("ProductID") %>' I want Text="<%$Resources:labels, btnLinkNoText%>" + Text='<%# Bind("ProductID") %>'
I am retrieving records from database nearly 380 records and binding them to a repeater control.My page is taking long time to load. how to improve the performance and here is the code of my repeater.
