Web Forms :: Maintaining Attributes Of Dynamically Created Controls?
Mar 1, 2011
have some code which dynamically generates a number of drop down lists to provide the user with different options. The items in these drop downlists contain a value which is a unique id for that particular combination of options and a text component which just plain text but not neccessarily unique. I then have assigned a handler to these dropdownlists which is called on selected index changed to perform the relevant actions based on what options are selected. The problem is to make the system perform the correct action I need the unique ID from selectedValue of the drop down box but when it posts back it appears the selectedValue has been replaced to match the text of the item.
Dim dynDdl = New DropDownList()
dynDdl.ID = "ddlOpts" & i
dynDdl.AutoPostBack = True
AddHandler dynDdl.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf dynDdl_selectedIndexChanged

I am accessing this xml file by using LINQ to XML in asp.net by using C#. I am able to access all the attributes of an XML node by explicitly specifying the name of the attribute. I want to write query on this xml file which reads all the attribute values of the xml node (In our example the node is SERVER) dynamically means I want to write the query which can read the read the value of the attribute Name & ID from first node, only name from second row, Name, ID & Parent from the third row , Name & ID from the fourth row, Name, Parent & Value from the fifth row & only Name from the sixth row without modifying the existing code every time. Once I add one of the attribute ( for example if I add the attribute ID in the sixth row ) in the above xml file then I dont need to modify my LINQ to XML query. My query should dynamically fetch the total number of attributes & display their values. Is their any way to do this ?
I'm creating an quiz application which queries the database and extracts the questions and choices. I use dynamically created controls such as a checkbox list and fill the values dynamically. How do I do this? Right now I have these functions:
array_random_init(); this creates a 10 element integer array from 1-20 - extract_question(i): this extracts a question indexed at i in DB, I created the controls and set the appropriate text in this function. - validate_question(i); this is called by button_click and validates the question i according to DB.
I understand I have to recreate the controls in Page_init on postback, but what should it look like? Do I need to add "if IsPostBack" in page_init, or do I create the controls in page_init() and reset their properties in page_load when I use extract_question(i)? Also, I cannot seem to clear the selected boxes on postback, I added page directive "enableviewstate=false" but it doesn't work.
In my aspx page, I have a number of drop down controls. I would like to update an attribute on each of the controls with "class=leftColumn" with the following line: propertyID.Attributes["nameOfAttribute"] = "false"; But instead of manually writing out each controlID and setting its attribute with the line above, I had hoped there was a way to go through and set the attribute on each control ID if it had class=leftcolumn. This is something I know is very easy with JQuery, BUT I need to do it with the code behind (C#) I was told this is not possible (i.e. to acquire a list of all the controls and then iterate through the list and give it the attribute or any other way. That manually setting each control like the above example is the only way in ASP.NET.
I have a tree view with checkboxes for leaf nodes. If i click on checkboxes, I am creating some html controls dynamically. And in other static button click event I need to get an ID's of those dynamically created controls.
I need to create web controls (e.g. label etc) dynamically.The problem is that for example,
on my onload event, I create a label. The text of the label is read from one line of a xml file.
But sometimes the text should be like " Messages (4)", in which the message count is something not generic and need some logic to calculate. I tried to put things like "Message (<#% MessageCount %>) " in my xml file, but the displayed text label is:
Message (<#% MessageCount %>) instead of Message (4 ).
I was looking through my transcender exam kit for 70-562 and they say load dynamically created controls in the loadviewstateEvent. This should be CreateChildControls() instead, no?

I am building a webform dynamically but when I go to get the values the placeholder has no controls. Every control added has an unique ID. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong (language is C#).
I have a website that sales associates access to view account information with clients. S.A's can only view information for accounts that they are tied to. Some clients have more than one account, S.A's can be tied to more than one account, but not all accounts of one client need to be tied to one S.A.
On the account info pages, I have account numbers (dynamically displayed labels) displayed of other accounts that the account client is associated with, which the S.A's can see. I'm modding this so that if the S.A has viewing permissions of any of the other accounts on that list of accounts, that instead of a label being displayed, a button directing them to that account page will display instead. In order for this to work, I have to attach a security function to the button, otherwise the page will blow out on the S.A's.
So I'm running a piece that is displaying a button instead of a label, which is working fine. My problem is when I try to attach the security event to the dynamically displayed buttons. It seems that the page just posts back and doesn't execute my code at all.
On my Page_Load, I'm running this after the buttons and labels are displayed:
For x = 0 to tblAccountList.Rows.Count - 1 'use a try to target the button, use catch to handle if it's instead a label, only one cell per row. Try Dim accountLink as Button = tblAccountList.Rows(x).Controls(0) Addhandler accountLink.Click, AddressOf Me.PermissionViewCheck Catch ex as InvalidCastException Continue For End Try Next
I don't have any code checking for postbacks or anything like that, but the "PermissionViewCheck" event never fires and just reposts the page.
What I am trying to achieve:I am trying to take the value of the selected index and depending on what this value is (e.g. the case selection in the code below) run a different query on the dataset and then create a repeater control dynamically to output each row with an item template that I can use css to style.
In other words: When a user choses a list item it shows only rows from the dataset that match the list item chosen. For example if a user choses Closed Tickets they only see rows from the dataset that have a STATUS of 'CLOSED'.
What I have done so far: [Code]....
What I'm struggling with at the moment is:
1) That the case selection works but the selection of the appropriate data from the dataset doesn't seem to be happening. And this data isn't getting stored in rows as I had hoped.
2) I'm not sure entirely how to display the dynamically created repeater control in the admin.aspx page.
I have a page that I am creating 5 separate GridViews on, depending on the button the user clicks, a different GridView will show up. On a few of the GridView's there is a need for paging, so in the CodeBehind I did the following billingGridView.ID = "BillingGridView"
I am new to asp.net. I am trying to display some data from a database table using dynamic table in my page. I want to add checkboxes to a field in the database and would like to perform several tasks based on the values checked. The checkboxes are tied with the primary key field of the database. Here is the code snipet :
[Code]....
Now I have a button in my page. The functioanlity which I desire is on clicking that button I should be able to extract the values of checked checkboxes and perform some function.
I have created one user control in which I have taken a gridview. Columns of this gridview are getting generated dynamically. (i.e. I read Column name from Xml file) But now I want my first coloumn of this gridview as a checkbox field.
I have a database with some data in. Now I'm trying to show that data on my page whit a ListView.
For each object from the database a ListView will generate a dropdownlist.
I also have a DataPager on my page and this is where the problem occurs.
Each object generated from the database has a field that may look like this example.: 1,2,3.
In my code now I´m trying to split this string of comma character and add new items to my dropdownlist.
This works as long as I do not have DataPager on. But if I choose to view an x number of pages at the time when the page loads, I have value in the dropdownlists, only on my first page.
I just can't wrap my head over this and don't have enough time to read long articles.
I already have an HTM Table on my form. I dynamically create New Roows and Cells and keep adding them to the Table .
The cells Contain Labels, Textboxes, Drop downs and Buttons. I also add Handlers to the dropdowns
The form loads perfectly the first time. But when I change the value in a drop down, on the postback, I get a msg saying that " There are multiple controls with the same name 'txtCheckin' . How do I handle this?
I want to create a gridview with the first column being the Job Number and then a variable number of subsequent column which are fordates. This grid is a data entry for hours worked on a particular date for a particular job. I wrote the code to get the correct number of columns and column headers but I am having trouble getting textboxes into the grid cells.
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { #region constants
i am working on Accounting software.in this software i am to implement voucher entries form.In this form on page load a table (two rows and four columns) should be created after that one row should be appended to that table dynamically on button click event.
I have a listview control which is created dynamically, it is nested inside a repeater's itemtemplate. I'm trying to attach a datapager to it, which is also created dynamically but the datapager will not display and the listview will just display all its records in its entirety.
I have a menu. I use the menu's menuitemclick event to create a gridview (several actually) that is then added to a panel for display.The gridview paints perfectly until I try to add paging.I have successfully used paging and sorting declaratively for years, but this is my first attempt to do everything in code.When the gridview tries to databind, it throws an error:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView.get_StateFormatter() +25 System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView.BuildCallbackArgument(Int32 pageIndex) +56
I am creating a project that dynamically creates radiobuttons. So far, i'm done with creating those radiobuttons dynamically. My problem is getting the values from those radiobuttons. To get those values, I need to click the submit button, however it seems that the radiobutton value or the radiobutton itself is lost after I click the submit button.
here are my codes, though not my exact codes, it follows the same logic...
