Web Forms :: Formatting Text Before Present In Html Dynamic Page?
Feb 10, 2011
My user filled a textbox with a text that was copied from Microsoft Word. This is a part of the text .
This system is - AUTOMATIC - and it is restricted
Look the symbols before and after the word AUTOMATIC. When I try to write this on a dynamically generated html page using the code bellow, i got this on the screen:
This system is â€" AUTOMATIC â€" and it is restricted
Code used to print the SQL Field:
[Code]....
The - symbol is not a minus symbol, but is a Word minus (-) symbol...
my requirement is : am having a excel sheet with some values listed i want to pass each value present in any(specified) column to a text box present on a remote page (a site other than mine) as a input and capture the result displayed on the page and then store the input and reuslt side by side in db this should repeat till the end of the input values in the excel sheet.
In this section, I am trying to manually add in tabs and line spaces so the string is formatted when displayed via the pre tag. But this does not work.
I don't know how to get spaces, tabs, carriage returns into that string which are recognizable by the pre tag, as environment.newline and/or vbtab make no difference.
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Is it possible to display HTML as text on your page in a formatted manner? For example, it should contain white spaces, tabs etc etc for readability purposes:
From another question, I have learned how to display HTML as text as follows:
I have content that I want to load dynamically, the problem is it has some html formatting in it. What control should i pull the text into, is there a way to pull the text into a div or a label, along with the formatting?
In the code behind these literals are populated, the form literal holds a couple of fields, the script literal looks like this:
StringBuilder strScript = new StringBuilder(); strScript.Append("<script language='javascript'>"); strScript.Append("var ctlForm = document.forms.namedItem('{0}');"); strScript.Append("ctlForm.submit();"); strScript.Append("</script>"); ctlPostScript.Text = strJS2; //where strJS2 is the string being returned by the stringbuilder
This is executed when a certain button is pressed. The purpose is to redirect to another site.
This works fine as long as no AJAX is used.
However as soon as AJAX is added, in particular as soon as the script manager is added with partial rendering set to TRUE:
then this stops working. The code in the button is still executed, we checked that, the literals get the right text properties. It appears however that the javascript is not executed. Nothing happens, no redirection.
the problem can be overcome by settin the script manager partial rendering to false, however, when this is done, much of the AJAX functionality stops working.
We think it may have to do with registering the script with the script manager. We tried this:
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "JSScript", strJS2);//done before setting the text property of the literal
But to no avail.
Anybody has seen this before and knows how its done right?
above string i have displayed in front end thrgh response.write i.e by assigning string abc to viewstate. also i am tryin to genetrate above input fields from database , so i have to make it dynamic in a loop. so when a user updates any of those dynamically created fields i need to retreive those values in a loop
something like this :
field1.text , field2.text ......so on till fieldn.text ....i want to assign these values to array
like :
string[] arr1 = new string[nooffields]; arr1[i] = fieldi.text;
We have a service that generates a report (using word templates and a 3rd party library), and then returns a string in HTML. While this HTML isn't great - its formatted correctly in this string. We want this HTML to show up on a page - format intact. What we currently have done is set an ASP.net Literal's text element to this string. While this works, I have noticed that it has reformatted the HTML string slightly. For the most part, it looks like it generated a bunch of new CSS classes, and a new style element in the HTML. This HTML does not exist in the string thats being returned. I could filter all of this back out, but wonder if there is a better way. I assume that the Page itself is altering something. What is the best way to display this raw HTML back to the user? I can't directly use a Response.Write(string), because this page does have a few other controls on it.
However my buttons need to be translated into difrent languages depending on the country the user is in Im translating the button lable text fine in my controller and passing it into the view , but now im alittle stumped over syntax Id like to replace "Swap User" above with
this is how I pulled the value back to fill in the text box in the table. With no master page.
TextBox tb = (TextBox)table.Rows[i].Cells[j].FindControl("TextBoxRow_" + i + "Col_" + j); tb.Text = Request.Form["TextBoxRow_" + i + "Col_" + j];
Now that I've added a master page to this things apparently have gotten more complicated. This won't fill the value for the textbox in the table cell that I want. I know the value still exists because if I do this
Request.Form.GetValues("ctl00$MainContent$TextBoxRow_" + i + "Col_1")[0]
Has the value that I want to put into that text box. I know the text box gets created because it's there when the page refreshes. But I can't seem to find that text box so i can put a value in it.
Can any one let me know "How to validate the length of the text present in the textboxes of a Gridview using javascript".
For Example: In a page I am displaying a Gridview with textboxes inside it and a button on the page. The user need to input some text in the textboxes of the gridview and click on "Submit" button. When the user clicks on Submit Button, we need to validate the length of the text present in the textboxes of the gridview. If the length of the text inside the textbox of the gridview is less than 10 , we need to throw an error message. In the same way we need to do validation for each and every textbox inside the gridview.
I am adding text fields to a page from the database. I set the .ID to match the record ID from the database. Of course becasue the text field is on the masterpage, when I grab the .ClientID, it is ctl00 contentMain$ctl00. what I don't get is where is my ID? If I set it to say AB how do I find the textbox by AB? I thought it should have AB in the ID somewhere. ID is nothing which I don't get either. I'm looping through the controls in a placeholder like this
For Each row In dtData.Rows() Dim c As Control For Each c In phTextRequired.Controls If c.UniqueID = row("CustomFieldID").ToString() Then
Again though what is in the row() is say AB but the id is way off from that.
I am having text formatting problem with Outlook 2007 since it is taking different rendering engine i.e word 2007. In our application, we are sending mails to different clients who have Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. We have used CSS in our application for formatting.
1. Since I have created Tables and given width in Percentage to every <TD> but while rendering in outlook 2007, every table taking different widths depending on the no. of the columns. Due to this reason, formatting is getting distored. Outlook 2003 shows proper output.
2. In our aspx page, I have created DIV tag with Style attributes having Property as Display:none. But in Outlook 2007, DIV tag is visible. Due to this, unwanted Warning messages also getting displayed in the outlook 2007.
I have a long text in SQL and passing it to a gridview. I am trying to make the gridview result display in a multiline scroll. I have tried the following code but to no avail. Additionally, the text in the gridview result is not in the same format as where it came from, eg. Word. That is the format such as bullet points and multiple spaces are removed. So what is left is a lenghty long string.
I have a listview control qith a datapager. I'm using a linkbutton for next and previous. I have a css class that makes the text Arial, and bold. It also sets the size to 10px. When I run the page, the link button is Arial and bold, but I can't change the size of the text. I've tried setting it to 10px, 8px, even 5px, 10pt, and xx-small. Nothing changes the font size. My customer wants the next and previous buttons to look a certain way. I'll have to manage paging manually if I can't get this figured out.
I'm displaynig plain text in a Gridview and the format is not the one I'm looking for here's what's happening. The data in the database (SQL) is store as sample1
Sample 1:
Please do the following:
1. text here and more text 2. blah blah blah 3. more text, etc
However in the Grid view is displayed like this:
Sample 2:
Please do the following: 1. text here and more text 2. blah blah blah 3. more text, etc

I'm trying to add html text to some repeater items during DataBind, but the html text isn't parsed into controls it just displays as text. If I copy the text and just add it to the asp.net page it works fine so I know my syntax is fine. So is there a way to dynamically add more html text during the data-bind phase?
I want if the header of a particular column contains a word "S", the header and row turns red. I used following code to make header red and it works fine. How to make it such that the rows also turn red if condition is met ? I cannot hardcode in columns since the Gridview is autogenerate colums as data structure keeps changing.
Protected Sub GridView1_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)Dim HeaderRow As GridViewRow = GridView1.HeaderRowFor Each c As TableCell In HeaderRow.CellsIf c.Text.EndsWith("S") Then c.BackColor = Drawing.Color.OrangeRed End If Next End Sub
