Web Forms :: Override Custom Method In Custom Control?
Feb 17, 2011
I have created a custom control as can be seen below. this custom control will be used by alot of web form. The question is how to override CheckAllData method in each webform, so i can write my own checking in each webform.
I am creating a custom control by inheriting a server control, say LinkButton. There are properties like "BorderColor" available in LinkButton. Let's say, I don't want this particular property to be available when I create an instance of the custom control.
I want to completely hide this particular property (I don't want to override it but disable it.)
I have a custom control that is based off the gridview control located at: here The control is basically a gridview that automatically creates a column of checkboxes that can be used to "check" individual rows in the gridview. During the gridview's "CreateColumns" event, the "checkboxcolumn" is created dynamically. The checkboxcolumn also contains another checkbox in the header that is used to "select/deselect all" checkboxes in the column. Since the gridview does not automatically remember the state of the checkboxes in the checkboxcolumn on postback, I added a method to the control called "SaveCheckBoxState" which stores the indexes of the checked rows in Viewstate, and then I modified the "OnRowDataBound" event to check the Viewstate and reset the checkboxes based on the Viewstate.
I then added a call to "SaveCheckBoxState" in the gridview's OnSorting and OnPageIndexChanging events. This works great so long as I'm sorting or changing pages. However, I need it to update the viewstate everytime someone clicks or unclicks one of the checkboxes. At this time, the checkboxes are rendered with an onclick event that calls some javascript to highlight the row, or in the case of the checkbox in the header, to select/deselect all checkboxes. I need to call the "SaveCheckBoxState" method from the javascript used by the customcontrol, or I need to find a way to modify viewstate from javascript and perform the same action as "SaveCheckBoxState".
I've tried adding the "SaveCheckBoxState" to the onclick event declaration in the checkboxes, but when run, it simply tells me that the method is undefined. It doesn't exist in the parent page, and I don't think I should have to make an event for the parent page to pass the click to. It seems to me this should be all self contained within the custom control. Does anyone know how I can acheive this? Here is the code for the gridview OnPreRender event where the onclick event of the checkbox is set:
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e) { // Do as usual base.OnPreRender(e); // Adjust each data row foreach (GridViewRow r in Rows) { // Get the appropriate style object for the row TableItemStyle style = GetRowStyleFromState(r.RowState); // Retrieve the reference to the checkbox CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)r.FindControl(InputCheckBoxField.CheckBoxID); // Build the ID of the checkbox in the header string headerCheckBoxID = String.Format(CheckBoxColumHeaderID, ClientID); // Add script code to enable selection cb.Attributes["onclick"] = String.Format("ApplyStyle(this, '{0}', '{1}', '{2}')", SelectedRowStyle.CssClass, style.CssClass, headerCheckBoxID); // Update the style of the checkbox if checked if (cb.Checked) { r.BackColor = SelectedRowStyle.BackColor; r.ForeColor = SelectedRowStyle.ForeColor; r.Font.Bold = SelectedRowStyle.Font.Bold; } else { r.BackColor = style.BackColor; r.ForeColor = style.ForeColor; r.Font.Bold = style.Font.Bold; } } }
I am creating custom server control. I have two classes in project. One is main class that render control and another will be used to render content based on condition.I just want to know how to render content from other classes in main class.For example. This isjust an example.My main class code
[Code]....
My TopLeftPane class
[Code]....
My page code on page load event
[Code]....
When I run the page, Header title always getting null. This is a just sample code. I will have more than 20 classes so I dont want to write a code in main class to render whole control.I hope all of you understand my problem.
I have created my own custom role provider class "SGI_RoleProvider" and configured properly.
Everything is working fine.
Suppose that I have added a public method say "SayHello()", then how can i call that. Because if i am using Roles then the method is not displayed. If i am forcefully using that Roles.SayHello() then compiler gives the error.
how can i call this. Because creating a new instance of SGI_RoleProvider is meaningless.
I am looking for a way to refresh one custom control inside a method of another. Here is what I have:
A.aspx <- contains (B,C) custom controls below
B.ascx <- adds data to SQL databaseC.ascx <- contains (D) custom control below
D.ascx <- shows data from SQL database
Data is added to SQL in the C# B.ascx code-behind method. Upon a new row being added I would like a GRIDVIEW inside the D.ascx control to refresh and show that new record immediately.
Initially I had all the code on the same page, but then needed to cut it into separate custom controls. The code worked perfectly fine before and now I need this refresh to happen again. The code I used before to refresh the gridview was like this:
In the end I also need to update the screen. I used an UpdatePanel before, but no longer have it. Not sure what the best way to update the screen is with the new data.
I am trying to build a custom composite control, which allows me to add custom content to each child control. It's a similar concept to what you have with a GridView and TemplateColumn. The markup used to place the control on the page would end up being something like this:
[Code]....
I have the code below, which allows me to put that markup on the page without throwing any errors, and it renders all the correct HTML, except it doesn't render the contents of the ColumnTemplate. I have replaced the Render() code with a comment because it's quite long winded and doesn't add anything important here:
[Code]....
I have tried to follow examples on MSDN and other forums but I can't make this work. I think I'm missing the code to render the contents of the template, but I don't know how to hook that up.
I have a custom control which inherit from the Table class and in the constructor, it takes a an integer as an argument. There is no empty constructor.
Is there a way for the user to set that variable in the properties window after they drag the control onto a form.
I know some .NET controls, you can set the source for the parameter to different things like another control's property, QueryString using just the properties window.
Right now, I have to create the control dynamically. I read the query string and then created the object.
If I were to specify a page for redirect using the ASP.NET Custom Errors feature, would my application still spit out the HTTP status code for that particular error?
For example if had a line in my web.config that had all Internal Server Errors redirect to Errors/500.aspx and then I encountered a 500 error, I would then be redirected to my custom Errors/500.aspx page. Will my application still respond with a HTTP 500 at any point in this exchange?
here's a situation and I would appreciate your response.
I have programmatically created the Wizard control:
Page_Load(obj s, evargs e) { Wizard ClaimDetailWizard = new Wizard(); foreach(int item in selectedItems) { //create new step //added custom control to new step //add step to wizard } //added wizard to a placeholder on a page }
Based on List I get from Session i added new steps to my wizard To each step I had added a custom control
Each custom control in tern contains another custom Gridview Control in it.
So here's the problem when the page loads for example for two steps. All is good Wizard does what it's supposed to do.
But when I try to use sorting or paging in that custom Gridview. Somehow it displays the gridview I should see in the next step of the wizard.
Also what I'm noticing through debugging. Is that when I press next in the wizard I go back to the original page where I do all of the code specified above, and it recreates the wizzard. But it goes to the next step. Is this the way wizard supposed to work? Just doesn't seem very efficient.
created a Custom Textbox Control that is intended to be a "masked date" textbox, so that I can handle different ways a user might enter in a date and make it work no matter what.I did this by creating a custom control with 3 separate Textboxes one for month,one for day one for year,then do some handling for different things that could be entered and it would all work.
The problem I am having is,when I add this control to the page,if I do an alert to check the Text value of the custom control it just gives me "[ServerControl1]" even if I enter in a date.
I tried doing an AutoPostback after entering so that it would refesh the Viewstate to have the values of the textboxes but the control doesnt seem to actually postback, even though I have it enabled.accessing the Textbox value after someoen has entered a date?first custom control I have created and have been using google.
I have created a user control and am ready to convert it into a custom control. I am trying to follow:
[URL] the steps mentioned in the link.
I am not seeing Build / Publish Web Site option.
I am using VS 2008. I only see Publish User Control but it doesn't give all the settings mentioned below. When I do publish user control, it just copies the ascx file to the desired location. how can I convert the user control to custom control.
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.
I want to create a custom control where I define several specifically named DIV sections. The code-behind logic of the custom control will perform operations on these named DIV sections. The page where the custom control is hosted needs to be able to add named controls to the DIV sections and perform operations on these named controls added to the DIV sections.
Let me explain a little further. In the custom control, I want to have code behind logic that fires the following Page Event and uses a condition to make one or another specifically named DIV section visible or not:
< _ ToolboxData("<{0}:BaseDetails runat=""server""></{0}:BaseDetails>") _ > _ Public Class BaseDetails
[code]...
how can I create a custom control which is able to generate the named DIV sections "DetailsNameDiv1" and "DetailsNameDiv2" where my custom control can check a condition and make one or the other visible. Also, I need to be able to add controls to these named DIV sections when I host the custom control and the control that I add to the named DIV section needs to let me set values of these controls from the code behind logic of the page (or usercontrol) where the custom control is being hosted (in my example, I am adding TextBox controls that I want to set the Text property from a SQL Data Reader).
I have created a really simple custom control to render panels into a page. The code is below. When I use my control and add any webcontrol to it, after each page postback the contents of these child controls vanishes.
I must have missed something really simple but run the example to reproduce this. Can anyone please enlighten me as to why the controls are being 'emptied' of their contents, and how I stop this occuring?
I'm building an n-tier application, with the web client and the class library separate. I'm also using the factory pattern of development, using interfaces to act as containers for different objects they are associated with. The problem I'm expreriencing is that I declared a public interface class in the class library and I can create an instance of it in in my aspx pages but whenever I declare it in my custom control code-side, i get an error, like so:
Error 20 The type or namespace name 'IContentMaker' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
notge that I have inherited the class library namespace using the 'using' keyword just in case you are wondering. My code is like so:
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts; using System.Xml.Linq; using TQO_Classes ; //importing the class library project public partial class PageContentMgr : System.Web.UI.UserControl { private IContentMaker _data; //this line throws the error, it works fine on aspx pages
I have an ASP.net web application project written in VB. Am trying to test a cobbed-together "MyTreeview" control put together from C# code that's been converted.
I think this will come "close" to what I'm trying to do - just get a treenode to have a CSS tag and render properly.
I have an App_LocalResources directory and a file called CustomTreeNode.vb. Inside that file is the following code:
I have a Custom Server Control with a Collapsible Panel Extender. I want to be able to keep the Collapsable state (open or closed) when doing a Post Back.
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 try to mak a custom textbox. Something pretty easy to do but I can't figure out one thing. When I write my textbox in designmode I have this <custom:Textbox runat="server" ID="Textbox1">Test</custom:Textbox> The problem is The textbox is a webcontrol I added to my class [Parsechildren(false)] like this [Parsechildren(false)]
public class Textbox : WebControl { }
now the problem is I want to able to write the Text from the textbox between the beginningtag and andingtag but I want to disable every other control in designmode. When I add < between the tags then you can see you can write all tags between it. disable all controls except literal between the tage in designmode?
I have created a custom control from scratch and it works fine as in you can build the project that uses it and it works fine at runtime. Problem is when you go to design view the control shows an error in the place of where the control should be rendered.
Error: '<SomeValue>' Could not be set to '<SomeProperty>'
This shows up on all my custom set properties. These properties are created as basic as possible. I can give the properties values in Source view and run the app just fine. I can even add a Onclick event. If I don't set any custom properties the control will render fine in Design view. It's only when I set a value to a custom property.
Property Code Example:
[Code]....
I've even removed the Category and Description tags with no difference.
I don't know if what I said makes sens, but I hope it does.
