Web Forms :: Efficient Or Worthy Use Of User Controls And Master Pages?
Jul 12, 2010
I have taken over an application where the original developer has used an inordinate amount of user controls and master pages. There are multiple master pages all over the site, with user controls on top of user controls through out the site as well. Some of the user controls are reused, many are not. Would you deem this an efficient or worthy use of user controls and master pages? From my point of view it clutters the project and makes debugging a real chore.

I have a C# website developed with Visual Studio 2008 with a SQL backend. I have a top Navigation menu that has seven different tabs. I have a specific right bar content for each of the seven tabs. The content for the right bar is stored in a sql database and will be accessed using data sets. I believe that I have two ways to display the information with the data set...
1. User control - Create a User Control for each data set and then drop that on to the respective pages.
2. Master Pages - Create a Master Page for each of my seven sections, adding the data set to the respective Master Page.
Is there a preffered approach to achieve my goal? I am thinking Master Pages would be the most efficient but not certain. Is there another method I should consider?

I am using a <a href=[URL], an open source e-commerce platform, for one of my projects, and I noticed that they use Master Pages as well as user controls. When I looked some of this up, some people made it appear as if Master Pages were intended to replace user controls. Is this true? In my opinion, if I were to start an ASP.NET app from scratch, I would think a Master Page would be enough, but I guess user controls could be utilized.

I want to search my asp.net pages and user controls to see which master page and base class they use. I mention search because we are re-factoring a large project and we need to track progress on the code conversion. I know I can pull this information individually but I need a automated and repeatable procedure.

I'm trying to set profiles/themes using a basepage to allow the colour of my site to change for users. I can do this on a single page but I'm trying to do this site wide and am getting an error.
I've been watching http://www.asp.net/general/videos/how-do-i-create-user-selectable-themes-for-a-web-site this tutorial
but I'm getting errors at the final step...
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Source="App_Code.gflsvdcc" StackTrace: at BasePage.OnPreInit(EventArgs e) in D:WebsitesBalticQuarter19.01.11App_CodeBasePage.vb:line
9 at System.Web.UI.Page.PerformPreInit() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) InnerException:
is the error, The error occurs because of the line 9 =
9 - Me.Theme = Request.Form(Me.Master.FindControl("DropDownList1").UniqueID)
If I insert this instead of the text above the colours change on the site.
Me.Theme = Request.Form("ctl00$DropDownList1")[code].....

and on this page I have another user control (ucPageControl), I need to find a way of setting the value in ucControl2 from ucPageControl. Is this possible at all?

I have come across the ASP.NET ready made controls like grid, repeater... etc.
For example while dealing with GRID i remember following facts,
ASP.NET V1.1 has DataGrid with "virtual row count" which is heavily used for custom paging which is need of big sites to perform well.
ASP.NET V2.0 added the GridView with all sort of cool features but also split the DataSource parts as different component. Also "virtual row count" is not supported and for pagination to be done DataSource control is need to be used.
After all these thing i thought that ASP.NET control are not made to be used as is for the development.

I've spent the last three days searching for a reason why I cannot loop through controls on a page link with a Master Pages, and have tried every example found on the web with no joy.
The most resent and the one resource that makes since was found on ASP.Net, but unfortunately it creates an infinite loop and dies. Link for my latest attempt: [URL]
This post was written in C# and I may have missed something in the conversion over to VB shown below.
I have around 100 checkboxes on this page that I am trying to load into a Array List to evaluate on the page code behind when returned by the function.

I have a master page. This is where I put my ScriptManager control.I have a nested master page within the master page.I have a content page within the nested master page. This content page needs to register a Postback control with the ScriptManager, but I can't figure out how to access the ScriptManager. Both Master.FindControl() and Master.Master.FindControl() always return null. I also attempted to use a strongly typed master page, but like all controls, the ScriptManager is protected and thus inaccessible from the content page. How can I access the ScriptManager?

I have an asp.net website with master pages. My controls got renamed from "myTextbox" to "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_myTextbox"...and I have many javascripts that use that unique id...
HOWEVER, just suddenly (it used to work), my controls are now named (I can see this in viewsource) "ContentPlaceHolder1_myTextbox", so my javascript is all broken.
What caused this sudden change in naming convention?
I know javascript can utilize asp.net's ClientID property...but this is not working for me, cuz I need to be able to do "getElementById" and you can't use the client ID here.

I made my own master-detail pages using a listview. Rather than url, I use a listview event to set a session variable and response.redirect to the detail page, which on Page Load, loads the data from the database using the session variable, where it can then be edited. The details page is basically just text boxes and dropdownlists, but I used some third party controls and it all looks really sharp.
Here is the corner I pained myself into. Several dependent dropdowns on the master page filter the main listview. If I go back to the master page using response.redirect, the user would have to use the dropdowns again just to get back to where they were before they went to the details page. This is just not going to work.
To further complicate things, I wanted the master page to have paging on it. So if a back button reloads the page, they would have to set the dropdowns again, and page through the data again if needed. Egads.
The closest I have come to working is using a javascript back back button, but this fails after some postbacks on the details page (that are needed). And of course, the master page isn't refreshed when you go back to it (but I could probably live with that).

I am new to asp development but have been around c# for a while. Basically I am trying to create a page which will pull data from a database and then for each object it creates I would like to add a user control which is built to represent that object. So basically I have tried quite a number of things to get it to work but for some reason I can't figure it out! How can I programmably add user controls and then set their properties from a 'master' page which hosts the user controls?

I have an ASP.NET application that needs to remember some info about a user (and what company they are from) across pages, within a session. I imagine this is a requirement of just about any ASP.NET application of a certain size. I've used a few different approaches over the years. In the past, I've passed around an id in querystring parameters like so: [URL] and then instantiated the object on each page (from the database). Another common way of doing it is storing my objects in session variables:
Session["User"] = currentUser; // store at login
User currentUser = (User)Session["User"]; // retrieve on some other page
which saves a trip to the DB, but I worry about memory used if the User object is complex and the site has many concurrent users. I have recently inherited an application that uses public properties on the master page, like this:
Master.theUser = currentUser; // store at login
User currentUser = Master.theUser; // retrieve on some other page
This saves the cast, and looks more readable to me I think, but I don't know if it's better or worse performance-wise. It also has some logic in the getter where if the private value is null, it tries to get it from the Session variable, though I'm not sure if that's never used (or used every get!?) or what. My latest idea is to use my page class. I have a custom page class derived from the standard System.Web.UI.Page base class. It includes objects like CurrentUser as public properties. This seems to work OK. I like it even better. But I really don't know what's going on under the covers. Can anyone give an opinion on which approach is better and why?
Update: I've done some checking use trace.axd and Trace.Write and it looks like neither the masterpage version nor the custom page class version "remember" the values between pages. The "get" methods have a line of code that checks if the User property is null, and if so, reads it from the session variable. This happens when a page accesses the property (Master.User or the derived class's this.User) for the first time on a given page, then subsequent requests can get the value (without going to the session variable). So thus far the best solution looks something like this:
public class MyPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
private User user;
public User User
{
get
{
if (user == null)
{
user = (User)HttpContext.Current.Session["CurrentUser"]; //check if session[CurrentUser] is null here and log them out if so?
}
return user;
}
set
{
user = value;
HttpContext.Current.Session["CurrentUser"] = value;
}
}
}
Then on any webpage.aspx.cs, you can do something like this: UsernameTextBox.Text = User.FullName;

How do you implement SquishIt to bundle Css/Js across View Pages and Render it in the Master page? I thought I could use a ContentPlaceHolder above the Render portion, but there seems to be some odd behavior where it sometimes adds 3 files (1 in the view page and 2 in the master page) but other times will ignore the file added from the View Page.
Index.aspx
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="CssFiles" runat="server">
<% CssHelper.Add("home.css"); %>
</asp:Content>
Site.master
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="CssFiles" runat="server" />
<% CssHelper.Add("reset.css"); %>
<% CssHelper.Add("master.css"); %>
<%=CssHelper.Render() %>
My current solution is a Static wrapper around SquishIt's static Bundle class that keeps the BundleBuilder in HttpContext.Current.Items.
I'm curious if this has been done successfully and how so.

Is it possible with ASP.NET Master Pages to create content pages dynamically?That is, I know we can create content dynamically, but the content pages themselves,can those be created programmatically? I want to give my users the ability to define new content pages (i.e. Categories: Sofas, Tables, Lamps, and add/delete as they see fit) through a management panel. The resulting content pages should have proper URL naming, so that they index properly.An example: http://www.example.com/products/Lamps/contentpage.aspx.Is there a demonstration of this somewhere I can view?
