I have a user control that has the following property

I've got a web site that has a master page and that master page (mpMaster that has a user control ucControl1) which has a sub user control (ucControl2), this user control has a property which accepts a value. Now, I have a page that uses the master page
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 2 user control : uc1 and uc2. and i have button in uc2 i call button1, i want to set commandArgument of button1 from uc1, how can i do this?
View 5 RepliesI'm having trouble to access a Parent's property in User Control. I don't know how to access the parent. The Parent Page's name is Search.aspx. I saw the example below and tried it:
[Code]....
Than I could access the Parent's Property, but when I ran the website I got these errors:
1. The user control is not declared in the parent page
2. The user contol has a circular reference
I have a Master Page that has several User Controls on it. The MasterPage code behind does some work to calculate a value that needs to be used in all of the UserControls. From the UserControl code behind, how do I access the public property of the MasterPage that I have set?
View 2 RepliesI'm constructing a User Control that will have one Property called "ContractIdx". Here's how I've constructed this Property:
public int ContractIdx
{
get
{
return Convert.ToInt32(this.Attributes["ContractIdx"]);
}
set
{
this.Attributes["ContractIdx"] = value.ToString();
}
}
I'm initially loading the User Control by passing a parameter to it and setting ContractIdx accordingly. That all works fine.
Upon Postback though I'm loading the User Control without any parameters and then setting its ID property to what it was before the Postback. My understanding was that if I did this then ViewState would properly restore everything. Yet apparently this is not the case with the "ContractIdx" attribute.
Where am I mistaken in my understanding? How should I change things to get this mechanism to work?
I have created a user control of 4 dropdowns i want to add a property to arrange them in vertical or horizontal how can i do that.
View 1 RepliesThere is one user control say uControl.ascx. This has a public property Message. There are 2 aspx pages Default.aspx and Home.aspx which has the user control uControl.ascx. When a sumit button from Default.aspx is clicked some action takes place and the value for Message is set and then execution is redirected to Home.aspx. In Home.aspx the value for Message is lost.
Is there anyways that the value of Message is retained for both the aspx pages?
I created user control. It exposes string[] public property (it may be List<string> or whatever). I want to support defining this property in aspx code, when declaring the instance of this usercontrol. Something like this:

I created a simple gridview user control with a custom property ProfileType which should load different records depending on the ProfileType value when attaching to a web page.
This is my web page:
[code]....
how I can expose user control custom property at its code-behind file.
In my project, I need to create a user control to handle the sorting and pagination of all the grids in the application. The grid however will be different in different pages with different formatting.
I am able to do this by exposing a property from user control which takes gridview as the input.
then in page load, i bind this grid, and assign the sorting and paging event handlers to this gridview variable.
This way I am able to do the sorting and paging, but the problem is I have to bind the grid in all the post backs, and then in the sorting and paging events.
So when a user sorts, I have to bind the grid twice, once in page_load and then in sort event of user control.
I can store the first set of records in viewstate and bind that in page load, but is there any other way, so that i dont need to bind the grid in all post backs but only inside of not postback.
How can one access public property of User Control In Master Page on child Pages.
View 1 Repliesi built a user control and i want to make one of its properties as a must, that's mean if you not supply this control when you create the control the project won't be compile, just like if you omit the runat="server" property.
View 17 RepliesI created one web user control with property named "ReadonlyField" with boolean datatype. I am able to use in my web pages and now i wanted to add a description to that property so that i dont need to explain each time to my team member what is that property's intention.
I got following snippet in c# but didnt find any equivalent in vb.net and also not sure whether it will work or not.
[Description("My Description")]
public int MyIntProperty
{
get {..}
set {..}
}
I have a user control with a WebDateTimeEdit server control on it (essentially a TextBox). I'd like to be able to set some of the server control's properties by way of the user control's markup or programatically. for example I have this defined on my user control:
[code]....
this blows up because WebDateTimeEdit1 is null.
is there any way I can make this happen? also can do I do this
myControl2 .Font.Size = FontUnit.Point(8);
where the Font property is read only on the server control?
I have a control that I want to be able to mark areas as editable. When a user enters a username and password, they can then edit these editable areas.One of the area to edit is the main content of the page. Since I want them to be able to edit this on every page, I have put the editable control into the master page, wrapped around the ContentPlaceHolder of the master page.I found out how to allow the parser to allow <prefix:tag></prefix:tag> rather than just ending it with />, but I can't figure out how to get the text within the tags to be accessible through something like a Text property. A prime example of this behavior is the Label control, where you can put <asp:Label>Hello!</asp:Label> and access Hello! through the .Text property in the code.

View 2 RepliesI have created a user custom control, and what I would like to do is to pass it the text value from a label where I can carry out some other processing.
View 2 RepliesI have a very simple user control with 5 radio buttons on it, and 3 properties (ID, RatingSetID, and Rating). On the initial load of the page they are on, the code acquires data and places the data into the 3 properties. However, when the submit button is clicked the page reloads and the 3 properties get reset to 0, they are in the !IsPostBack as well.
View 2 RepliesI have a custom user control UserProfileLink on which I have two basic string properties, UID and UserFullName which I would like to use in a template column in a DataGrid like this:
....
<ItemTemplate>
<td:UserProfileLink ID="uplUser" runat="server" UID="<%#Eval("UserUID") %>" UserFullName="<%#Eval("UserFullName") %>" />
</ItemTemplate>

I get an error saying "The server tag is not well formed" which leads me to believe this type of binding isn't possible. Is there a way to do this, or is it impossible?
I have a web user control (ascx) that exposes an "ID" property. What I want to do is set this property when the SelectedIndexChanged event fires in a gridview in the containing page. However, I can't seem to do it.... Here's my code:
protected void grdPhysicians_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
physicians_certif1.mdID = grdPhysicians.SelectedDataKey.ToString();
mvData.SetActiveView(viewEdit);
panAdditional.Visible = true;
}
Physicians_certif1 is the user control. It seems the user control is loading before the SelectedIndexChanged event has a chance to set it's property.
I have a user control with a panel on it:
CustomControl.ascx
<%@ Control Language="vb" CodeBehind="CustomControl.ascx.vb" %>
<asp:Panel ID="myPanel" runat="server"></asp:Panel>
I'd lke to expose that panel as a property that I can use at design time.
CustomControl.ascx.vb
<ParseChildren(True), PersistChildren(False)> _
Partial Public Class CustomControl
Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
#Region "Members and Properties"
<PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)> _
Public Property SomePanel() As Panel
Get
Return myPanel
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Panel)
myPanel= value
End Set
End Property
#End Region
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Response.Write(myPanel.HasControls.ToString())
End Sub
End Class
And then bring the control onto a page like so:
<ucl:CustomControl runat="server">
<SomePanel>
<asp:Label ID="lblText" AssociatedControlID="txtBox" runat="server"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox id="txtBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</SomePanel>
</ucl:CustomControl>
When I run the page, HasControls is true but nothing is rendered. What am I doing wrong?
I designed a user control. It contains a public property "CurrentValue". When I try to initialize the property using an Eval expression, a null value is assigned.
// In below code, label assignment is OK, RatingNull user control assignment get null
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Difficulty") %>'
<uc1:RatingNull ID="RatingNull1" runat="server" CurrentValue='<%# Eval("Difficulty") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
If I directly assigned a value (ie, CurrentValue="5"), user control works fine.
public partial class RatingNull : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
private string _CurrentValue;
public string CurrentValue
{
get { return _CurrentValue; }
set { _CurrentValue = value; }
}

Before I get to the question, let me give a bit of background. I'm trying to develop a custom caching mechanism that I can apply to custom built user controls. (Please be aware that I know that there are some built in caching mechanism in .NET) Depending on certain flags set declaratively in the mark-up the control should load a cached version of its previously rendered content or execute normally (and if certain flags are set it should generate a cache of its content for next time it loads). I would like to be able to pass certain flags declaratively in the mark-up and being able to check their value at Page Init and, depending on the flag value, determine whether the control should load a cached version or not.
<uc:MyUC ID="N1" runat="server"
CacheProp='<%# SomeEnum.A | SomeEnum.B |SomeEnum.C %>'
PropA='<%# this.SomePropA %>'
PropB='<%# (this.SomePropB %>'
PropC='<%# this.SomePropC %>'
/>
The problem that I'm facing is that as far as I'm aware I can only get the value of the properties declaratively assigned in the mark-up if I called the DataBind(). However I'm faced with two problems: Firstly calling this.DataBind() from within MyUC will trigger the binding of all its child controls which would defeat the purpose of the cache; also all user controls have been built so that they will not call DataBind() before the LoadComplete event has fired, so to make sure that the parent controls they live in has done its initialisation and has computed the properties that are declaratively passed to the child user control (ie PropA, PropB, PropC).And now the question: is there a way to bind the CacheProp property so to retrieve its value without data binding all other properties and without triggering the data binding of all its child controls?
When I add a user control which has bindable properties to an asp.net page I do not see its bindable properties on the designer's dialog box when I click the edit Data bindings on the Repeater-Listview
