Looking for some ideas to add some custom built forms within our application where admin users can create forms (text boxes, multi choice) etc and allows users to fill them out possibly through a routing system. I know infopath can do this any other ideas? If software already exists where we could integrate into the system that would be great.
View 1 RepliesI have a reporting module (C# asp.net) that uses dynamic controls to represent the varying parameters of the selected reports.The dynamic controls build and display fine (XML stored in SQL Server 2008 and XSLT for the transform into HTML).My problem is that I have a drop down list(not dynamically created) that contains the report names as text and the report id's as the value. This DDL posts back when its selected index changes. When the DDL posts back, a session and viewstate variable containing the selected report id is populated. I want to read this variable and use it to generate the dynamic parameter controls.
View 1 RepliesI built a user control that displays a drop down list of states. I'm using it, but if I try to put it in a listview control, all I get is the frop down with nothing in it.
View 3 RepliesI have this problem of handling postback for controls built dynamically.
I am having something like this:

Now, whenever it posts back, the control disappeared. If I remove the !IsPostback, then it will always create the control.
I'm running into a weird issue that I can't find an answer for anywhere I've looked (and I've looked a ton).I built a web deployment project with Visual Studio 2008 Team System on my old Win XP machine. This has always worked flawlessly and installed everywhere. I can also copy this MSI to my new Windows 7 Ultimate machine and it again installs just fine.
HOWEVER, when I rebuild that exact same web deployment project on my new Win7 machine, also using VS2008, the MSI will build OK, but when I then run it to install my software I get a dialog box telling me "the installer was interrupted." Interestingly, when I built this MSI in my new environment one additional warning popped up during the build process, which was "Unable to copy the schema file '(null)'"After many searches and reading different web pages, I know this has to do with these two registry keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftVisualStudio9.0DeploymentSchema]
"DefaultMSISchemaFile"="c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\Deployment\Vspkgs\..\VsdSchema\Schema.msi"
"DefaultMSMSchemaFile"="c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\Deployment\Vspkgs\..\VsdSchema\Schema.msm"
Yet, everything checks out. All permissions are correctly configured, etc., etc.Then, when I enable the built-in administrator account and log in as that, and then rebuild this same web deployment MSI the "Unable to copy the schema file '(null)'" warning no longer appears. Then when I log back out, log back in as myself and then run this newly built MSI it installs fine, just like the original one that was built on XP.I also tried uninstalling VS2008 and re-installing it as the super user, but that also didn't change anything. And yes, I did also configure devenv.exe to run as administrator.
Has anybody seen this? Or is it a requirement that you can only compile deployment projects as the super user? That cannot be right.I've been thrashing for more than five days and for the life of me cannot figure this out. Of course, I can run as the super user when developing, but I thought the new security model in Win7 was designed exactly so you don't have to.
is there a way to snag the database id of a newly created user after CreateUser has been called? I need to be able to tie that id to another database table. From what my book shows me, it looks like member info is encrypted, so merely looking at the membership database table.
View 11 RepliesI am creating a interface for User Role Management based on built in membership provider.I want to display all the roles as check boxes for a selected user. I am able to display all the roles in the database, but not able to load the specific user roles. For example, I am able to publish role 1 role 2 role3 role 4 as check boxes. But if the user is already flagged as role 1 and role 3, I am not able to show that data (role1 and 3 should be checked when form loads, but right now, they are not checked)...How do I get the roles as checked boxes display on a page.I am using a repeater control to display roles as check boxes on the page..

I want to dynamically add a web user control to a web form. Everything I've read so implies that I should be able to use the PlaceHolder web server control for this, yet I cannot this to work. I've created a simple test to just try to master this concept, yet I can only get non-web user controls added. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Below is the entirety of my code.
.aspx Page:
[Code]....
.aspx.cs Page
[Code]....
.ascx for TestControl
[Code]....
.ascx.cs for TestControl
[Code]....
so I have this custom user control, just some data inside divs with a fancy css.
So inside my page I need to add it multiple times, and I do so in code behind within loop.
Now, this code doesn't work
[Code]....
and of course it works fine now. My questions would be - why? can I do it without pecifying file name and just creating control the normal way like in first example?:S
I created an ASP page which contains a MultiView and two buttons, it is as below
<div style="width:700px; background-color:White">
<asp:MultiView ID="mvAgreement" runat="server"
onactiveviewchanged="mvAgreement_ActiveViewChanged"> [code]...
The first and third view are simple now.The second view contains a user control AgreementDetailUC, which dynamically loads many other user controls onto several dynamically created tabs, as show below
AgreementDetailUC.ascx is like:
<div style="width:700px; background-color:White; text-align:left">
<cc1:TabContainer ID="tcAgreementDetail" runat="server" Height="300px" AutoPostBack="false">
</cc1:TabContainer>[code]....
When <Next> and <Previous> button is clicked, it take several seconds to show the second view. Page_Init is run very fast, it seems the time is spent on rendering the page.
My questions are:
1. How can the performance be improved?
2. How to change the cursor to hour glass when a button is clicked and change it back when the new view is shown (I can set it to hour glass when a button is clicked, but don't know how to set it back to normal).
I have a user control (i.e. ascx) that comprises of two related list boxes (i.e. once you change the selected item in one list the contents of the other list update). I'm adding this user control dynamically to a page on the click event of a button (i.e. using LoadControl).I wish to set the list box datasource properties, as well as the default selected item of the parent list from my parent page so I created public properties in my user control to accomodate this. I also created an event in my user control that notifes the parent page when the selected item changes in one of the list boxes so I can update the contents of the other list box.
I understand that I have to recreate the user control on every postback in order for it to function correctly but I'm not sure exactly how I should be doing it. I've shown below what I have currently - whilst it works the problem is that on postback I'm always creating the user control with all its default properties and then updating the properties that need to change(?). For example, when the choice in theparent list box changes the datasource of the list box is set twice (once in AddControl and then again in OnParentChanged)? As the contents of the list boxes originate in a database it means I'm making unnecessary calls to the database (unless I do some something like store each unique set of data in the ViewState).
I'd be very grateful if someone could review how I've done things and illustrate how perhaps I should be doing things. I'm not sure if the way I've done this is considered the 'correct' way. For example there may be a better way of doing things would avoid setting the properties twice? I'm a bit unsure of the way I've set the datasource properties of the list boxes and bound them. I wished to set the datasource from the parent page because I might have a second user control on my page that may also use the same datasource and I could reuse it (as opposed to each control making its own call to the database) so I'd like to keep this feature if possible.It would be great if posting code in reply that you use my example as a guide so I know what you're referring to.Here's the code for my user control:

I want to determine if the following could be implememted using a sitemap and menu control.
I have implemented the selection and navigation using tables and urls.
Each page request the querystring data, get the sql data and create the required selection and navigation urls.
Customers.aspx contains a list of customers with a url for each customer.
[code]....
Can I use a sitemap and menu or tree to provide the back navigation described in the scenario above.
Is it possible to modify the url for one or more sitemapnodes based on a user selection on a page?
Is it possible to add/remove sitemapnodes based on a user selection on a menu?
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 am dynamically loading user controls into my main page on button event.The user control has a textbox and a gridview When i enter data in textbox , the autopostback event fires and loads data into the gridview. when i load another instance of user control and do any post back the gridview data is not persisting.Until and unless I bind the data, gridview is not having any data after postback.This is creating issue when I al updating a row in gridview as data is not persisting after postback.
View 8 RepliesI am in need of some assistance in regards to how to best set the values of properties for a Web User Control which is being included into a cell of a GridView with dynamically created columns. I have tried a few different approaches, but can't seem to get a satisfactory result. Also, to be completely honest, I am not really sure if I am using best practices for what I am trying to accomplish.
First off a little background:I have a GridView for which we will never know the exact number of columns at run time. The columns are predicated by user selection. I am creating the command text for the DataSet on the fly and then looping through the columns of the resulting DataTable in order to use custom TemplateFields. This works ok for just printing out the row values but not so much for when I need to insert the Web User Control into a cell.The Web User Control is in essence a collection of image links which are used as a "Quick Nav" tool. I need to pass the values of 2 fields from each DataRow to the control via properties (for example, CustID and ProductID). I am using custom TemplateField classes inheriting from ITemplate for displaying my fields and extending the DataBinding event like so: [Code]....
This won't work for my User Control as DataBinding is called after the control is loaded into the page and I need the properties to be set before the Page_Load event of the control is fired.Is there a GridView event I should be looking into instead such as RowCreated or RowDataBound? Or should I modify how I loop through the DataTable by doing rows first, then the resulting columns as I've seen done elsewhere?

I'm customizing a NopCommerce store, and am using a gridview to display and sort the products. All that works well. I like how the external pager (user control) works with the gridview, with one exception -- it uses the hyperlink control, so I lost viewstate, which I need to retain for both the search page and to retain the gridview sort options. Based on the page selected (from the pager control), I query the database and rebind the gridview. So, I switched the user control to use LinkButtons instead of Hyperlinks. This is the sample code for one of the buttons:
[Code]....
I set a breakpoint inside the lbCommandClick method, but it never gets hit. Reading other posts tells me that I would have to add the dynamic controls in the OnLoad method, but since this all happens based on other data on the page (say search results), I don't think I can do it onLoad. However, the link buttons do work to cause a postback, and my viewstate is saved correctly. The only problem is that I do not know which button was clicked. I could check Request.Params["__EVENTTARGET"] onLoad, but that is kind of a hack -- I'd much rather be able to set the event handler in the user control and use the CommandArgument property. But, what I have tried so far fails.
Especially one that would allow me to set the EventHandler in the User Control? (e.g. OnlbCommand="PagerLBPageChange" )
In my one asp.net web page by VS 2008 I dynamically creates a set of RadioButtonList and TextBox by objects
[code]
The current issue is I can load the web page with a set of RadioButtonLists and TextBoxs but can't find the these dynamically built controls by Me.FindControl("rdoTask" & ID) in aspx.vb file to save info assigned to these controls.
I have a DataList that has a column with a checkbox in it. The checkbox has its AutoPostBack property set to true. During the DataList's OnItemDataBound event, I am registering a javascript method to the control:
chk2.Attributes.Add("onclick", "CheckAdvanceChecked(this);"); The purpose of this method is to determine if any of the programmatically checkboxes in the DataList are checked, and if so, disable some of the other controls on the page. My problem is that when the HTML is generated, my 'CheckAdvanceChecked' function is being placed (and executed) prior to the javascript that ASP automatically adds to the checkbox (due to its AutoPostBack property): <input id="checkAdvanceList_ctl01_chk" type="checkbox" name="checkAdvanceList$ctl01$chk" onclick="CheckAdvanceChecked(this);
etTimeout('__doPostBack('checkAdvanceList$ctl01$chk','')', 0)" Value="760" /> I need my CheckAdvanceChecked(this); function to to be place after the 'setTimeout' function that ASP generates automatically so it will execute last. Is this possible?
I was attempting to use a gridview, but found that it was a little to restrictive in terms of formatting. So I'm using a DataReader and a StringBuilder (using the Append method to attach to the Literal control) to build a form. The form is pretty simple: labels, radio buttons, and textboxes. The appended data was practically taken from a classic asp page (with just some minor tweeking). For the most part there will always be 5 records on the form to loop through and save (sometimes less...never more).
Now comes the tricky part. I want to save the information on my form, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Do I use the Append method to add a save button to my form. And if so, how do I save the data (I couldn't use the codebehind could I)? Do I use an asp:Button and if so, will it recognize the form since it was build dynammically?
reading on the forums about assigning event handlers to controls that are dynamically created via code and am just not getting anywhere.In my particular case, I'm rolling through a directory of images and creating ImageButton controls on the fly and want to assign the OnCommand event to a single handler.Then, by using the CommandName (which is different for each control) I can figure out which ImageButton was clicked and act accordingly.
The snippet below (which can be found in many posts on this topic) is inside a foreach which loops through the directory and gets each FileInfo (fi).Each is then added to a PlaceHolder (phImages).
[Code]...
This code compiles and runs but the event handler is never invoked when an ImageButton is clicked. I believe this is because you cannot, without some coding I'm not familiar enough to do yet, assign a handler to multiple controls.I say this because I ran into a similar problem in a Silverlight app I wrote and had to use a lambda (=>) operator to do something similar (although I admit to not knowing enough about this to know if this situation is the same).
I have an asp:table control that I construct dynamically. I place a few textboxes in it within a for loop and assign their IDs in code. I'll include an abbreviated code fragment showing how I'm doing this:
[Code]....
The page then displays correctly and the ID is set correctly when I view the source, but when I try to access the textbox later when the form is submitted the call to FindControl(idStr) returns null no matter what I do.
