View 16 RepliesI currently have a TextBox using: <%: Html.TextBox("TextBox1") %> How do I get the value of what is typed into the TextBox as a string so that I can use that string variable throughout my application? The view has he following with the inherits on top of page to model. This page is named "InputNumbersSection":
<%: Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Number) %>
and the action:
<%: Html.ActionLink("Get Number!", "DisplayNumbersSection") %>
The Model has this:
public class NumberModels
{
public string Number { get; set; }
}
The controller has the following:
public ActionResult DisplayNumbersSection(NumberModels model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
string TextBoxValue = model.Number;
ViewData["Number"] = TextBoxValue;
}
return View();
}
The ViewData I use in another page to return the number from the textbox typed in the view. When I type somthing into the textbox, I do not see the property getting hit or executed. The "Number" property returns NULL all the time. It almost seems as if it is not picking up what I type into the TextBox
I have an asp.net 2.0 web app where I use C#. I have an HTML file input control that I would like to style, but I can't seem to find a way to do it. I actually wanted to change the color of the textbox. I looked online but I couldn't find any proper solutions.

View 3 RepliesI want to know differences between ASP.Net WebControls and Html Controls (with runat="server" attribute).
I also want to know the possible scenarios where I have to (or want to) prefer Html Controls (with runat=server) in place of asp.net server controls?
In case of some good articles on web, do forward me. But dont forward me the links with differences between webcontrols and html controls, because my question intended for runat="server" attribute.
I have a dynamically-generated textbox and a static text box. They both have enableViewState = false. On the web page, I enter "ABC" in both textboxes. In the code-behind I set both text boxes to "EFG" in the page_load event.
In debug in page_load I can see both textboxes say "EFG". This is what I want.
When I hit the LoadComplete event, the STATIC textbox still has "EFG", but the dynamically generated textbox has gone back to "ABC".
I went one-by-one through all properties on the dynamically generated/static textbox, and they are all identical.
I'm trying to update a db record via a business object, based on a users input.
In my button event handler, I check for a null or empty value like this before I set the object properties:
[Code]....
But if the textbox is empty, I get the "System.FormatException:
Input string was not in a correct format." in the line:
[Code]....
How can this be?
Since I'm new to coding and I'm trying to understand why here is a little more detail on the question.If you have a text box and you are limiting the input to say 2 charactrs do you really need to validate the input further? What I have is a text box that has a max length of 2. Is there a security reason to add a validator to the textbox. I should add this is in Asp.net.
View 8 RepliesIn general, If I have a choice when developing a web site to use html elements or asp.net controls which one is better to use if my website is interactive with server side operations such as accessing database. Is it more secure to use asp.net controls or does not matter.
On other words, is it more secure to use asp.net controls instead of html element to deliver data or receive data from/to server side or no differences?
I'm creating composite control, which has two other components that rely on each other.
In component A (image), I access component's B (input) UniqueID which equals
MyTextBox1$BoldTextBox
I use it in onclick JavaScript code...
But in rendered HTML input element has following id
MyTextBox1_BoldTextBox
So my javascript code , generated inside composite control has something like this:
onclick=$('#MyTextBox1$BoldTextBox').....
instead of:
onclick=$('#MyTextBox1_BoldTextBox').....

View 4 RepliesI've gone rounds with this ever since I started programming classic ASP 12 (or so) years ago and I've never found a great solution because the architecture of ASP and ASP.NET has always been a swamp of bad practices, magic shared singletons, etc. My biggest issue is with the HttpApplication object with its non-event events (Application_Start, Application_End, etc.).
If you want to do stuff once for the entire lifespan of an HTTP application, Application_Start is the obvious place to do it. Right? Not exactly. Firstly, this is not an event per se, it's a magic naming convention that, when followed, causes the method to be called once per AppDomain created by IIS.
Besides magic naming conventions being a horrible practice, I've started to think it might be a reason there exist no such thing as a Start event on the HttpApplication object. So I've experimented with events that do exist, such as Init. Well, this isn't really an event either, it's an overridable method, which is the next best thing.
It seems that the Init() method is called for every instantiation of an HttpApplication object, which happens a lot more than once per AppDomain. This means that I might as just put my startup logic inside the HttpApplication object's constructor.
Now my question is, why shouldn't I put my startup logic in the constructor? Why does even Init() exist and do I need to care about Application_Start? If I do, can anyone explain why there is no proper event or overridable method for this pseudo-event in the HttpApplication object?
And can anyone explain to me why in a typical ASP.NET application, 8 instances of my HttpApplication are created (which causes the constructor and Init to run just as many times, of course; this can be mitigated with locking and a shared static boolean called initialized) when my application only has a single AppDomain?
i have to inplement a taglib(java) kind of functionality in asp.net application.I need to send parameters from the aspx file eg(<cc:displayhtmld="id1" runat="server" customparam="123"/>) and i need to write some Html base on the input provided by the user can somebody please help as to how i can do this.

i have a gridview with textbox for change the target value, how to set the textbox only number for input?
heres my code:
[code]...
I am setting up a web ap where I need to take a value from a forms input box and populate an asp:textbox. I've tried several javascript solutions that haven't worked. I assume this is because an input box is run on the page and th asp:textbox is run at theBasically I have some code (that took forever to find ) that takes the values from the url ex.www.mysite.com?value=thisand places it into an input box so I can do some other things to the value. but I need to automaticly copy this value into an asp:textbox to use for a gridview lookup.The code is written in javascript. so if anyone knows how I can copy the value from javascript variable to the asp:textbox that would be the best.
