Web Forms :: Modify Property From Custom Control
Sep 29, 2010
I'm trying to do something which to me seems like it should be simple, yet I cannot think of a simple way to do it.
I have a built custom control, that has a property I want to change based on a user's interaction with a second custom control. This second control will be a table of data, with an 'edit' link in the last column. I would like the control, when the edit link is pressed, to pass an ID and trigger some event so that I can assign this ID to the first control. My initial technique for building this (second) control was to create some code which will iteratively create some html based on a dynamic range of data selected by the user. I know that I could create some sort of link with a value in the query string, but I would like to implement AJAX and was hoping that I could enable this communication without changing the URL.

I created an Extender which has a custom property that drills down a list XML elements from an xml file, where users can select xml elements during design-time. This works perfectly fine. However, my code only has a hardcoded xml filename (source of the xml elements list) and I need to change this by maxing the xml file user-specified.
What I did is that I created another control (panel) which has a custom property that when clicked (through the ellipsis), it will allow a developer to select the xml file which is supposed to be the source xml file that the Extenders shall use. The filedialog from custom panel's property works perfectly fine.
However, my problem now is that when I drag-drop my Extender, I cannot find a way to get the property value of the custom Panel Control which contains the xml filename. I tried creating a static variable which I thought the custom controls can share but VS2010 is breaking.

Basically, I have a custom templated control with a custom data container class. When a developer adds an instance of my control to a page, they can define the controls in the LayoutTemplate however they like, as follows:
<ml:MyControl id="MyControl1" runat="server">
<LayoutTemplate>
<span><%#Container.ErrorMessage%></span>[code]...
I would like my control to automatically move the "ml_errormessage" (databound content from Container.ErrorMessage - hard coded token in the property) to be a class of its containing element to make it easier for jQuery to use a selector to find the element and dynamically insert the error message client side. More importantly, I would like it moved out of the way so the class name doesn't get replaced by the content and jQuery can find it as many times as it needs to during the page lifecycle. In other words, I would like the output to look like this without the developer changing the input template or resort to using custom controls in the template:
<span id="MyControl1"><span>
<span class="ml_errormessage"></span>
</span></span>
I would like to move the value using the controls collection rather than resorting to string parsing of the output, if possible. However, when I interrogate the collection in an override of OnPreRender, the control in the template looks like this in the debugger:
{System.Web.UI.DataBoundLiteralControl}
System.Web.UI.DataBoundLiteralControl: {System.Web.UI.DataBoundLiteralControl} [code]...
As you can see the "ml_errormessage" value is nowhere to be found. Upon analysis of the DataBind event of the Control class using Reflector, I see that it delegates the binding behavior to each control. In other words, each control handles its own databinding. However, since I have no way of knowing in advance what control types will be in the template, how can this change be done?
Note: an acceptable alternative would be to add a new HtmlGenericControl (span) in the exact spot where the "ml_errormessage" is and add it as a class to this new control.On a side note, is there an easy way to get the control's output to indent for easy reading during debugging?

Iam developing a custom checkbox control deriving from the 'compositecontrol' which i need to use it for a composite control purpose.
public
class
TngCheckBox :
CompositeControl
{
i have written the required properties which are working fine except the "checked" property. here is my code for 'checked' property. i tried both the below ways (commented one and not commneted) . the problem is the 'checked' value is not setting the value at the get set part of the property.its assigning the value at the design time , but when i check and uncheck its not updating the property value.which is resulting me wrong .

I have a custom control, inherited from Button. This is the class definition for the control and 2 properties:
[Code]....
I show you 2 properties, only to illustrate the problem.
as you see Aplicacion property is of a custom type Sistema, and Roles property is of type List<UserRol>.
The Aplicacion property is rendered well, this way:
[Code]....
The problem I have is with List<UserRol>. I couldn't get it to be rendered. I expeect to be rendered this way:
[Code]....
Finally, this is the TypeConverter and Editor definitions for the list:
[Code]....
The UserRol class is a typical class, without any special attributes.
I have discovered that when I use the custom editor for Roles property, the collection is not persisted. When I use the default editor for the collection, the collection is persisted.

I need to create one custom text box control which should be bind with data base.
I am referring following link...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.databoundcontrol.aspx
I used DataBoundControl to create my control but i am not able to do it properly.
public class SimpleTextBoxControl : DataBoundControl
{
private TextBox nameTextBox;
public string DataTextField
{
get
{
object o = ViewState["DataTextField"];
return ((o == null) ? string.Empty : (string)o);
}
set
{
ViewState["DataTextField"] = value;
}
}
[
Bindable(true),
Category("Data"),
DefaultValue(""),
Description("The text to display on the link."),
Localizable(true),
PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerDefaultProperty)
]
public virtual string DataTexValue
{
get
{
string s = (string)ViewState["Text"];
return (s == null) ? String.Empty : s;
}
set
{
ViewState["Text"] = value;
}
}
protected override void PerformDataBinding(IEnumerable retrievedData)
{
if (retrievedData == null)
return;
base.PerformDataBinding(retrievedData);
Controls.Clear();
nameTextBox = new TextBox { ID = "nameTextBox" };
foreach (object dataItem in retrievedData)
{
if (DataTextField.Length > 0)
{
nameTextBox.Text = DataBinder.GetPropertyValue(dataItem, DataTextField, null);
}
DataTexValue = nameTextBox.Text;
}
this.Controls.Add(nameTextBox);
}
}

I am using: .NET 2.0, VS2005
I customized a button from System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button (it is a Custom Control, NOT an User Control, no ascx file)the intention is to adding a OrderID property to the button, that can be bound to a datasource field.
Here is how this control is used in a aspx page:
[Code]....
Here is my definition of the MYButton class, it saved in a .vb file and placed in App_Code folder
[Code]....
Here is the code trying to use the OrderID in btnSave_Click()
[Code]....
The problem is OrderID is always returned as 0.
When first time page is loaded, and gridview is bind to a data source, I step through the code, and the OrderID property are set correctly, but after the postback caused by the button, the OrderID value has lost.

I'm working on an ASP.NET 3.5 project that requires me to create several custom navigation server-side controls that can be customized at design time by non-ASP.NET website developers through a simple text editor. All but one were relatively easy to create, but the last one is stumping me. I've looked online and can't find any examples anyplace that come close to what I'm trying to do.The last control needs to give the site developers the ability to manually define the number of nodes that are displayed within the control when it's rendered on a page, and I want to reproduce the design time/runtime functionality of the GridView's "Columns" property. In the Columns collection the site developer at design time can manually specify the look/feel of each column within the ASPX designer. I want to give my site developers the same design-time flexibility so they can add/remove nodes at their whim and not bug me to do it for them.
an anyone point me to any examples of how to create a collection custom child controls that are associated with a custom server side control?

A common problem in repeater controls where you want to display data for update (like a list of user phone numbers that can be updated and submitted back to the database) is where to store the database unique row identifier. So, I created a custom Textbox control that I've added a Data property to. I populate this data property with the unique row id. The problem is that when I post back the list and go through the repeater items the control's data property is null. The custom control looks like this:
[Code]....
The tag in the repeater looks like this:
[Code]....
I have a custom checkbox with the same data property and it works fine. I actually put in the same repeater with the textbox control and the checkbox control have the row id on postback but the textbox did not. Is there some limitation on the textbox control that might be causing this.

I have a custom user control UserProfileLink on which I have two basic string properties, UID and UserFullName which I would like to use in a template column in a DataGrid like this:
....
<ItemTemplate>
<td:UserProfileLink ID="uplUser" runat="server" UID="<%#Eval("UserUID") %>" UserFullName="<%#Eval("UserFullName") %>" />
</ItemTemplate>
....
I get an error saying "The server tag is not well formed" which leads me to believe this type of binding isn't possible. Is there a way to do this, or is it impossible?

I can create a custom control with a default value:
private bool exclue = false;
public bool Exclude { get { return exclue; } set { exclue = value; } }
I can Create the same thing with a nullable property:
private EntityStatuses? status = EntityStatuses.Active;
public EntityStatuses? Status { get { return status; } set { status = value; } }
But how can i then set the property to null in markup when using the custom control?
<MyControls:Control ID="Con" runat="server" Status="?" >

I'm writing ASP.NET custom control, and I want it to have a few properties which should be visible only from code behind during run-time - I mean, these properties should not be visible both in a designer and in a aspx code of page containing this control. I've tried to use following attributes:
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)]
[Browsable(false)]
public List<Item> SomeData
{
...
}
but unfortunately this property is still visible in an Intellisense combobox when editing aspx page. Is it possible to hide this property everywhere besides server-side code ?

I need a way to create unique values for a property in my custom server control..
In this case I will have the poroperty called "Name" and I neeed the value of Name to be unique for each "instance" of the control...
So for instance if I have a page with more then one instance of the control, I dont want the value of the Name property for these instances to be allowed to be the same..
...to put it kind of simple, if I dont remember this incorrect, I want it to be sort of like the ID property..but with another name then ID.

The built in Asp.Net Controls (label, Textbox, etc.) all have a CssClass property that can be set, what do I need to do to implement that for a Web User Control?
I know how to add a property and pass thru the get & set to the corresponding Asp.Net control (example if I have a label I know how to create a LabelCssClass property that provides a get & set, but the control itself how do I set a CssClass or ClassName property.
