Web Forms :: Custom WebControl - Style Is Not Applied
Jan 18, 2011
I created this simple custom web control:
[Code]....
I used this control on my page:
[Code]....
The problem is that when page is displayed in web browser is see default back color, font and border, values from page are not applied on the my control. Why?
I am writing a custom composite WebControl and want to expose styles of child controls it encapsulates to the ASP.NET designer. The code I currently have is similar to the skeleton below (which for simplicity only has one child control).
With the code below, I can see property "ChildPanelStyle" in the designer, but when I try to modify one of the properties (e.g. CssClass) in the designer, it immediately resets itself to its default value. It looks like the designer serialization isn't happening.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE
I've updated the sample with an additional style property that is managed directly by the custom control, rather than simply being the property of a child control.
The HeaderStyle property is persisted properly by the designer, but the ChildPanelStyle property isn't.
Of course I could manage all my styles like HeaderStyle, and apply them during rendering, but I'm hoping there's a simpler solution whereby child controls can take care of themselves, and I don't need any custom rendering.
The problem is that webpages contained within subdirectories do not inherit the CSS file.What am i doing wrong here?If i copy the style.css file to the subdirectories everything works like a charm...UPDATE: If i change the path to /style.css or to ~/style.css the style is Not applied also to the webpages within the root folder.
I'm creating a custom ASP.Net GridView and I want to be able to alter the __EVENTARGUMENT value but I can't figure out how to capture the returned value on the server side.
I'm creating the ability to have a collapsible representation, so the first level is the standard GridView and I will insert additional rows via JavaScript if they expand the first level row.
My problem is how to create a link on the selecond level rows that posts back with custom data.
I built a webcontrol showing a complex user interface with a lot of javascript. Basically my webcontrol is similar to : [URL]
Now that most the user interface is working properly, I'm stuck with the following issue: I want to add a button (html button tag) which has to trigger an event. I have been able to declare the event, the event args, the delegate,etc. The page using my control may assign a handler and that handler is called correctly when I explicitely call OnServerControlClick (The name I gave to the event). I cannot make the link between the button in the user interface and the event in the webcontrol source code. When the button is clicked, I get an error message saying a dangerous Request.Form value has been detected.
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 page which holds a custom webcontrol and a usercontrol. I need to reference of webcontrol in usercontrol class. So, I make the declaration of webcontrol as public in page class. But, when I do "this.Page.", I don't see the webcontrol listed in list provided by intellisense. Most probably, I am missing something.
In an asp.net page, how to get a reference of a custom webcontrol from a usercontrol?

I have created a custom web control to act as a button with an image. I would like to be able to set this as the target of the DefaultButton parameter of an ASP.NET Panel control. I have implemented the IButton interface, and no error is generated when loading the page using the control. However, when I press enter in a textbox within that panel, the Click event of the control is not raised. When I replace my control with a standard ASP.NET button, everything works fine.I have a test page with a panel containing a textbox, an instance of my custom button, and a standard asp.net button. The buttons are wired to an event handler which will change the textbox to the ID of the caller.When DefaultButton of the panel is set to the ASP.NET button, hitting enter in the next box works correctly - the page posts back, and the text box is populated with the name of the standard button. When DefaultButton of the panel is set to my button, hitting enter in the textbox causes the page to postback, but the Click event is not fired. Clicking the button manually works correctly.Does anyone know what I have to add to my custom control to make it handle the event coming from the Panel control? I'm looking using Reflector at the source code for Button, but cannot identify what is enabling this behaviour.I have posted the source of the control below, and the relevant source of the test page.Control Source:
public class NewButton : WebControl, IPostBackEventHandler, IButtonControl { public NewButton() : base(HtmlTextWriterTag.A) { }
For test purposes I have created a simple button control that extends CompositeControl. I am able to place it on the page with a <asp:Content... and the Click event Bubbles without problem from the Control.
Now, here is the problem I am facing Due to design requirement I need to read the assembly and the classname from a table and dynamically create the control and add it to the <asp:Content. And when I do that the click event will not fire! Where am I going wrong.
Here is the code in the ButtonControl.cs namespace Reports.Web.ServerControls { [DefaultProperty("Text")] [ToolboxData("<{0}:ButtonControl runat=server></{0}:ButtonControl>")] public class ButtonControl : CompositeControl { protected override void CreateChildControls() { Button btn = new Button();
However when i render the control, my styles are not reflected.
When i check 'View Source' it applies my classes(italic) and ALSO applies in-line styles (underlined)along with it, which overwrites my styles. for e.g.
When "Configure ListView..." in the smart tag of ListView is clicked, one can choose one of the 4 styles on the list: Colorful, Professional, etc. I am wondering if there is any way to add one's own style to the list.
As the subject may be a bit vauge as i found it hard summing up what i was after when searching on google here is an example of what i mean:
[Code]....
Im basically trying to write my own simple tag parser, so i can allow people to enter a certain amount of tags like shown above and i would parse them and turn them into html outputs... and i couldnt find the right terms to search for on google, so i thoughti would see if anyone here knows of any good tutorials on the subject, or what specifically i should search for to sum up what im after.
I used below link to use google search engine in my page [URL]....
here google put default for textbox and button search engine Height and width
I put code into div that I define in my page and I set height and width for div so I can change search engine textbox Width but it didn't change textbox Height
I want to make a textbox with a specific style, within this style a set of images as background parts, how can i attach these images to the custom control as whenever i take the .dll file and add it to the toolbar the images do not appear. So i tried to make them as resource files and their property as embedded in .resx file, so how to make the css style background image url to be linked to any of those image.
This is annoying, because I have to apply this style to every single thumbnail image individually, when there could be any number of them on the screen at any given time. All of the thumbnails are inside a single <div> that groups them together, and I'd like to apply a single style to the <div> that will push the attributes I need down to all of the the <img> elements nested inside, regardless how many thumbnails there are.
I am implementing my project using Asp.net and C# in Visual Studio.Net 2008 programming environment, and I've been working on this issue for a while and can't find a solution. I have a css file in "App_Data/CSS/style.css", it works fine in visual studio design view. However, when I was trying to run the program, all formating effects I defined in the style.css disappear, leaving the plain view of the interface. The master page is in "App_Data/MasterPage.master", all the other .aspx pages are under the root directory. I have this placed in the header of the master page:
< link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/style.css" />
I have created a new page in rootfolderSubfolder ewfolder est.aspx , this test page is used a master page which is in rootfolderSubfolderMasterpage.Master . But styles are applied in test page.
but master is works if the page is in rootfolderSubfolder est.aspx.
