Web Forms :: How To Get A Reference Of A Custom Webcontrol From A Usercontrol
Mar 24, 2010
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?

In an asp.net page, how to get a reference of a custom webcontrol from a usercontrol?
I have what is probably a basic question but I do not understand if/why there is a difference. I have a simple asp.net page with a staticly created DropDownList and Panel control. The user can select one of three options if the drop down (Employee, Company, Address) which should load the respective custom UserControl into the panel below. By default, I have the Employee control selected in the drop down and it should be displayed on the intial Page Load (!Page.IsPostBack).
If I do the following it performs the desired behavior on the intial load:
[Code]....
If I try the following, the User Control does not appear on the initial page load:
[Code]....
I noticed if I do it with a textbox instead of a UserControl, it works however:
[Code]....
I assume there is some sort of behavioral difference in the way the loading is done between a UserControl and WebControl.
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.)
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 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) { }
I have two UserControls on a MasterPage. DataEntryUC contains several TextBoxes and DropDownList. NavSaveUC contains navigation buttons. When the user clicks on a navigation button, I will be saving the data entered into DataEntryUC from the NavSaveUC UserControl.
I have a couple of tables in my DB that contain stored procedure names, control names, control types, SqlDbTypes, etc.... that correlate with DataEntryUC.
How do I reference a text box that is on DataEntryUC from NavSaveUC?
I have been working on the following code from NavSaveUC with no luck.
Dim MyControlName = "txtFirstName" Dim MyControlType = "TextBox" Dim MyStringValue as String Dim tmpTxtControl as TextBox Dim tmpDdlControl as DropDownList Select Case MyControlType Case "TextBox" tmpTxtControl = CType(Page.FindControl(MyControlName, TextBox) MyStringValue = tmpTxtControl.Text Case "DropDownList" tmpDdlControl = CType(Page.FindControl(MyControlName, DropDownList) MyStringValue = tmpDdlControl.SelectedValue End Select
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.
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();
I am developing a usercontrol, in this case a toolbar. Some of the buttons on the toolbar will interact with other objects on the page which are not part of the toolbar. (In this case a map) So the toolbar code behind wants to say something like this:
[code]....
My problem is that MyMap does not exist in the design environment of the usercontrol and therefore produces an error when it is referenced. So my question is, How is this typically handled? Can the usercontrol reference another control that does not exist within itself?
I have a .ascx file residing in another page which has a button on it. On click I run a select statement that accesses the textbox for a value.
However, it keeps returning a Null Exception Error. I am trying access the textbox and its text through
[Code]....
I also tried -[Code]....
I also tried -[Code]....
But none of them work. Please can someone advise me how I find the textbox and then access its text?I have looked round the forums / google and cant find a way of doing this!
I have some usercontrol which gets loaded dynamicaly. I know how to add these usercontrols dynamically. The problem is, which usercontrol are to be added is decided only at runtime. So I cannot use <%@ register %> or <%@ Reference %> on the '.aspx' page. How to access the usercontrols without using these directives?
Environment : Vista,VS-2005I have converted my user controls into DLL.(This is ajax enabled Website).[URL]In another project i have added this reference , register the dll and use the Usercontrol.It is working fine.Question1 : How to add this dll into toolBox?....Question2 : How to Rename this dll?....(This is ajax enabled Website-I have added webusercontrol in this site-After publish th site i got this dll.)
Eg: user Conrol : Textbox My Dll Name =App_Web_textbox.ascx.cdcab7d2.dll; .aspx page (DLL Registration ) <%@ Register TagPrefix="WebControl" Namespace="ASP" Assembly="App_Web_pwtextbox.ascx.cdcab7d2" %>; <PhaerosWebControl:pwtextbox_ascx runat="Server" ID="pwTestDLL" />
This Code Workingfine.But i do no how to add this into ToolBox?......
I have created my own custom usercontrol(.ascx) consisting of labels and image etc. I need to be able to click on this control but i dont know how to add a click event to it.
Basicly i want this whole control be like a huge button which i can click on.
I have one Custom Control! I add reference in pages Like Below <%@ Register TagPrefix="cus" Namespace="Controls" %> at Run time There is No error ! Error Shown at deploy Time Unknown server tag 'cus:GridHeaderFilter'. My custom control is in App_Code folder With Name GridHeaderFilter.vb So How To add Or Register This Custom Control In web confige File
public class Module : UserControl { // Custom Property And Method }
How can i load a UserControl (.ascx) and convert to my Module Class?
UPDATE :
the error is : Unable to cast object of type 'ASP.UC_acsx' to type'BICT.Module'
my class is like this :
namespace BICT { public class Module : UserControl { public Module() { // Some Initial } // and some extra property exp. public int Index{ get; set;} } }
Supposing I have a user control like this <MyTag:MyWidget runat="server" /> I am wondering if I can do something like <MyTag:MyWidget runat="server" MemberHeight="400" PublicHeight="200" /> So that in MyWidget.ascx I can have <div height="<%=IsLoggedIn ? MemberHeight : PublicHeight%>"> or something like that...? Because I want the height to vary in each page that is using this widget.
I need to set the ParentItemID variable for the uc1:pdf listed inside the repeater. I thought I should be able to find uc by looking in the e.Item and then setting it somehow. I think this is the part where I'm missing something.
UPDATE: It looks like my controls are not connected by a namespace. I've wrapped by the parent control (Layer) and the PressFileDownlad control in a namespace "MyControls". Also updated their Inherits reference on the aspx to read "MyControls.xxxxx". I'm able to type "MyControls.Layer" inside the code on layer.aspx.cs but I'm not able to get "MyControls.PressFileDownload"
I am trying to create a more detailed item template for the standard CheckBoxList control. It exposes an ITemplate property called TemplateControl but I wasn't able to find a straightforward resource on how to actually use it. Here's the code I have so far:
Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(ByVal e As System.EventArgs) MyBase.OnLoad(e) Dim items As New List(Of ListItem) items.Add(New ListItem() With {.Text = "A", .Value = "1"}) items.Add(New ListItem() With {.Text = "B", .Value = "2"}) items.Add(New ListItem() With {.Text = "C", .Value = "3"}) Dim lst As New CheckBoxList() Dim tpl As ITemplate = LoadTemplate("~/CustomListItem.ascx") Dim g As New TemplateControlWrapper() tpl.InstantiateIn(g) lst.TemplateControl = g lst.DataSource = items lst.DataBind() Form.Controls.Add(lst) End Sub Class TemplateControlWrapper Inherits UserControl End Class
It seems to be ignoring the TemplateControl property completely.
I'm setting up a web application with multiple forms. Each form is defined within an asp:FormView with the DataSource set to an ObjectDataSource. Each form contains it's own set of fields and always contains one or more blocks of fields, which are the same for multiple forms.
Because this blocks are the same, I decided to define them in a custom usercontrol. The questions that came up with this:
How can I use the same datasource for the input fields in the usercontrol as in the 'higher' asp:FormView?
Is it possible to use DataBinding.Bind() for the input fields in the usercontrol, with this same datasource?
