Quick VS2010 question.
I tried to apply formatting to my text (tools>options>texteditor>htmlformatting>tags)
where you can change color, style, and font-weight of certain tags, I apply them, but they do not change the text editor rendering of these tags.
Anyone else tried this with no effect?
Otherwise it works ok, but I find it easier to use one color for html, one for asp, and one for ajax tags for my purposes.
I want to put some kind of text editor on my website which allows the user to manipulate the formatting of text. I would also like it to be possible for a user to copy/paste text from an existing webpage and it keep the formatting i.e. markup tags, font weight, bullet points. I just dont know hoe to go about this but the information must be there as when you copy from a web page into ms Word it keeps the format.
View 8 RepliesIn my application, I want all dates to display in the MM/DD/YYYY format and I also want the text box to be limited to 10 characters and have a certain class applied to it.
To that end, I made a custom editor template for Date that looks like this:
@ModelType System.Nullable(Of DateTime)
@Html.TextBoxFor(Function(d) d, New With {.class="polkDate", .maxlength="10"})
Then in my view I just can just call @Html.EditorFor(Function(m) m.someDate) and this works pretty well. However, because I'm using TextBoxFor, it doesn't respect the DisplayFormat attribute that's applied to my model class (i.e. it's spitting out the time as well instead of formatting the date).
I would love to use EditorFor so that it would respect the formatting that I want, but you can't add attributes like class and maxlength. I also tried just using the plain old TextBox helper, but I don't know how to make it generate the correct ID so that model binding still works.
MVC is formatting my code horribly, and I was wondering if you can turn it off? I feel the answer is no, but I was hoping VS 2010 had built in a setting...Here's what its formatting as:
<% if (org.UserKey.HasValue)
{ %>
<%= org.Reference(i => i.UserReference).Email%>
<% }
else

I´m using a template that comes with visual web developer 2010. It uses a css style sheet.
After several weeks of frustration I figured out that changes to the stylesheet doesn´t take effect until I reboot the computer. Not the webdeveloper, but the computer(!). This cannot possibly be right, can it? How do I force the webdev to apply changes to the css?
Why does the gridview put everything in a table?! Is there a way to not have the gridview generate any html what-so-ever and just use what I have in the ItemTemplate?
View 1 RepliesIs there a good way to apply intellisense in .skin files in ASP.NET 4? like a microsoft visual studio tool for example? I installed an intellisense schema for .skin files to my visual studio 2008 long time ago but it had some bugs so i had to remove it. any improvements in visual studio 2010?
View 1 RepliesI am working on an ASP.NET project in Visual Studio .NET 2010 and attempting to make an MSI installer using a Web Setup Project. I added the Primary output from the project (which seems to pull in the relevant dependencies) and the Content Files from the project (which pulls in the Web.config and the .svc files).
The issue is that rather than applying the XDT transform and creating the Web.config using the Web.Release.config, it just copies the Web.config, the Web.Release.config, and the Web.Debug.config into the installer without doing any transformation at all.
How do I get it to apply the Web.config transformation before creating the installer?
UPDATE 2:
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.
objStringBuilder.Append("<div>" & Environment.NewLine)
objStringBuilder.Append(vbTab & "<div>some text</div>" & Environment.NewLine)
objStringBuilder.Append("</div>" & Environment.NewLine)
Return "<pre>" & Server.HtmlEncode(objStringBuilder.ToString) & "</pre>"
UPDATE 1:
I have tried the following, but it does not work:
return "<pre>" & Server.HtmlEncode("<div><div>some text</div></div>") & "</pre>"
I want it to display something like this
<div>
<div>some text</div>
</div>
But it's diplaying like this, which is expected:
<div><div>some text</div></div>
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:
Server.HtmlEncode("<div>Some text</div>");
I have a calculation that takes place utilizing the TimeSpan.FromTicks method, the result is stored in a TimeSpan object. The calculation itself is working correctly, but I'd like to format the result a bit nicer than it is and I can't figure out how to format a TimeSpan.
The result from the TimeSpan is:
00:00:04.6153846
I'd like to remove any preceding zero's and round up to the second decimal place, such as:
4.62
Does anyone know how I might be able to accomplish this? I can't seem to find a .NET 'built in' solution.
I need users to be able to enter text in a webform with some basic formatting options and then generate a report showing the formatted text.The support for HTML is horrible and entering a simple bulletlist doesn't even show properly in the report.Right now i'm using a textarea with tinyMCE but that's because i don't know what else to use.Is there a known best-practice for showing formatted text in a Crystal Report?EditI just need to show a report with a bunch of text and icons. Users need to be able to save it to PDF. I doesn't even have to be Crystal Reports but it's what i have been using and worked so far. Until i needed to show formatted text.I wish for another solution that comes with a designer and let's me bind against a DataSet.

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.

I have a datagrid with a text footer, and wanted to change the text in this footer when change selection in dropdownlist, but this change is not visible on the client(browser). I've been doing some tests and if i use the databinding() method datagrid is updated, and the text is correct.
My question is how to force the table to be drawn with the new changes. I think what the databinding() method is redrawing the datagrid, in the browser.

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.
