Web Forms :: Using Web Parts For User Defined Questionnaire Generator?
Mar 27, 2010
need to let users to generate online questionnaires that could be answered by other users. I was wondering if this could be done using the WebParts.I have a custom application with already set up database. I do not use any form of Membership Provider (I have a custom made form of user authentication, I did not want to be bounded by the rigid frame of the ASP Membership). As far as I know Web Parts uses db (called SharePoint ?) to store the state etc. so this might be the first problem because I do not want to modify my DB just for the sake of WebParts (I assume it would require a whole lot of changes).So I was wondering if it would be possible to use Web Parts only as a form of "ASP code generator" e.g. I could create the questionnarie using WebParts and then export the result somehow (?) to print an ascx/aspx file or code.If this can not be done, can anybody tell me if there are any components that would be useful here? Some sort of toolkit where one could create asp code online? (with textboxes, checkboxes etc.).
the Web Part for anonymous user and authenticated user is displayed differently. I faced this problem twise. First time when used Silverlight control in the Web Part and second time when used devexpress control in the Web Part. In both cases problem was with displaying for anonymous user. Silverlight control didn't display. Devexpress control lost it's styles. Both controls had properties that pointed to files. Silverlight control property pointed to the XAP file, and Devexpress control property pointed to the CSS file. It seems to me, that for anonymous user the Web Part cannot find this path or doesn't allow to link to other files.
iam creating a customized dashboard using web parts and i am new in web parts..i wanna a way to store user setting in XML file .. how can i achieve that ?
I am using web parts using asp.net c# 2.0 with Ajax 1.0.
I am dynamically creating and loading web parts in my code behind. Some of these web parts are pure html others are user controls. Its all working well but with one annoying issue.
When I add a new web part / remove one ( from my web part collection) this change is not reflected in the portal. Say when you add a new web part you would expect it to see in the catalog. But its not there. When I remove a web part from my collection it still appears in the portal.
However, If I delete the user's setting in the aspnet_PersonalizationPerUser table then the change is visible!
I have a web user control that contains 2 text boxes. i would like to be able to have their values persisted using the personalizable attribute, but dont want to use my user control as a web part. Can i implement the personalizable attribute on a text box in a user control without using web parts?
I using Masterpages and user defined controls, on my user defined control I added a CalenderExtender, but I can get it to work, when I set the TargetControlID="txtPSD" the name of my textbox it vanishes from the screen. Question is am I putting it in the wrong place??? see the bold code below, TargetControlID error is name contains uppercase lettter that are not allowed.
I have a webpart with asp.net control within.I would like to hide some parts of that control, some asp:net panels etc. regarding one of the TextBox's value. The issue is that I don't know to change the visibility of asp:panel wrapper without any postback, and how to refresh page to see the changes on the UI.I was trying to implement TextChanged event but it dosen't work.
I went to run it, I filled out the form and clicked register. I got this:
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. and Line 127: _provider.CreateUser(userName, password, email, null, null, true, null, out status);
I am developing an application in which I have to use a User Control.I have created a user control in which I am using
- A Label (whose text will be dynamic) - 3 Textboxes (whose values will be also dynamic).
So far everything is working fine.Now I used this user control in a aspx page and at the page_load i have to loop thru all the instance of this user control and assign values to them and here the problem begins.The values are not being assigned to the controls.
Here is the code which i have written to loop thru User Control instances and assign values to them.
i created a user control and place a button on it.i drag dropped the user control on a aspx page and wrote the grid load and button clicks in the
user control.now i got a requirement to use the same user control grid and button to again use on the same page.however the data populated will be different and the button click functionality will be different.how can i reload the different data on the second grid as i had already wrote the code in the first one
I have one web part (the provider) which displays insurance claims in a gridview. When user clicks on one this value(case number) is passed via IWebPartField interface to another web part(consumer) which displays detailed info about the claim. So far so good. I can select different claims in the provider and the details show up in the consumer just fine. The moment I add a TextBox to the consumer, the consumer no longer recognizes the case number passed. I need the user to be able to enter a value in the textbox and click a button to update that claim info. I can debug and attach to process and it looks like it is getting the case in the callback function, etc, but when it is setting parameters for the stored proc in CreateChildControls, it is null. Comment out the TextBox and it works fine.
I would like to design Questionnaire around 30 questions. What control should use? If simply using label & text box will have a lot of control within one form?
I received a user defined XML file and want to programmatically read and display it on a browser using ASP.net. I also want to allow users to add more tags, elements with their attributes according to the existing schema through the web interface used to display the XML. Where can I find some techniques with examples?
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <bookstore> <book ISBN="10-000000-001" title="The Iliad and The Odyssey" price="12.95"> <comments> <userComment rating="4" comment="Best translation I've read." /> <userComment rating="2" comment="I like other versions better." /> </comments> </book> </bookstore>
The XML file contains a nested structure — each book can contain its property values, as well as one or more comments as separate elements. I want to allow users to view each of the property values and change them as well as add more userComment tags.
I am looking to port my very basic DBMS software from classic ASP to ASP.net - however the user would need to input the connection details in order to connect to their specific DBMS server.
Is this at all possible with ASP.NET MVC (very similar to DSN-less connections in ASP).
i have a Dynamic Questionnaire that is created using dynamic data from the Database. My data in the Database contains the fields like
QuestionID - Primary key Question - The Question Text Answer - The Answer Required - This is a Validation , i used this to enable the Required validator in asp.net DataType - This is the Datatype, it can be a Heading also. ReadOnly - This check if that Question is a Read-only , This happens most of the time , when it is a Calculated Field, meaning its values depends on other fields values. Order - This is the order the Questions will appear Section - This is the section, So the Questions are Grouped. Normally in Page1 you will have Questions for Section 1....... Deleted- This is a bit Field , its either 1 or 0 , 1 is active, so this will be to Filter only active Questions QuestionType- This is the Type of Control the Data should be Presented with, It can be a Dropdown ,checkbox or textbox.. QT_ID - There can be many Templates of the Question , this makes sure we use the Correct Template for the Questionnaire
So with this kind of Data , i want to use know , what asp.net Control can i use to achieve this.
Suppose I have a string in U.S datetime format, "2/25/2010" and the server is on U.S East Coast with a timezone offset of "-5". When I convert the string via
Convert.ToDateTime("2/25/2010").ToUniversalTime(), it saved as "2/25/2010 5:00:00 AM" (which is correct as local server time for it is 2/25/2010 12:00:00 AM"
Now, suppose my user is in the U.S central time with a timezone offset of "-6", what I want to do is convert it approriately and when this user from central time do "Convert.ToDateTime("2/25/2010").ToUniversalTime()" type of statement, the datetime saved will be "2/25/2010 6:00:00 AM"
How to develop a user defined plugin for a web browser. It should features: It should be installed in any browsers. It should be executed whenever the browser starts. It should monitor the web page and access the web page that the browser displays. It should monitor and access the web page (for example, getting a value from a text box) irrespective of the web page the browser displays. (The web page can be of any URL either google or any domain)
I am trying to create a type of table on sql 2008. The following sql fails saying Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'. what i am doing wrong as this looks fine to me.
I created a function and am trying to access it through a case statement, but I am getting the error:
Cannot find either column "core" or the user-defined function or aggregate "core.f_FiscalYear_Open_Days", or the name is ambiguous.
The case statement is below:
CASE WHEN c.program_id = 5 and CAST(minutes) As float)/60 >= @MiddleSyTargetHrs /core.f_FiscalYear_Open_Days(c.program_id,Org_Site_ID_Contract,'7-01-2009','7-31-2009') Then 1 Else 0 End As mon_1_hrs
I have been, exhaustively, looking at examples of WF4 and am not sure it will work for my project. I need to be convinced otherwise. I am struggling with how we would implement a system to use WF4 so users have the ability to define workflows. It seems you need VS2010 experience to design and implement a WF 4workflow. I love wheat it can offer, but feel it may be too complicated for non techical users.
Do we just define a ton of custom activies that a user can move into a workflow? How can we make it as easy as possible for a user to build the workflow?
We have and application that we want to allow, Joe / Jane user to create their own workflows for specific items. For example, Request For Information items. The RFI has specific states it can be in that are defined by the user.
They should be allowed to control the flow based on those states. There will be some base items that the application defines as to what will happen based on a decision / condition. So, things like notifications (who gets notified when something changes), time frames (how long something can stay in a certain state before something else happens), and possibly some other conditions.
The conditions / decision types will be limited by the application, for now. But imagine they can build the workflow and add those decisions / conditions in without any coding knowledge.
