C# - Custom Control's Controls.Count Zero?

Jan 6, 2010

In a custom server control, I am simply writing out the number of child controls.

Is there a reason that the count would go to zero if <% %> tags are used within the body of the control tags?

Here's my extremely simplified control:

public class Script : Control
{
public override void RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
writer.Write(this.Controls.Count.ToString());
}
}

When passed only Literal data, the count written is 1 as expected:

<my:Script runat="server" ID="script3" >
function foo(){}
</my:Script>

When passed Literal data and some computed data, the count goes to zero:

<my:Script ID="Script1" runat="server" >
function foot(){}
<%=String.Empty %>
</my:Script>

There's nothing special about the String.Empty either. Anything I put here results in a count of zero.

Interestingly enough, other Control tags work fine however. The following counts 3:

<my:Script runat="server" ID="Script2">
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" NavigateUrl="/" Text="hi" />
</my:Script>

Is there another way to get the child "content" of the custom control? I would think there is some way, as does it, but I can only inspect the metadata for System.Web.UI.WebControls.Content - not the implementation.

Custom Server Controls :: Custom Control's Constructor / User To Set That variable In The Properties Window After They Drag The Control Onto A Form?

Mar 4, 2010

I have a custom control which inherit from the Table class and in the constructor, it takes a an integer as an argument. There is no empty constructor.

Is there a way for the user to set that variable in the properties window after they drag the control onto a form.

I know some .NET controls, you can set the source for the parameter to different things like another control's property, QueryString using just the properties window.

Right now, I have to create the control dynamically. I read the query string and then created the object.

Custom Server Controls :: Paging And Sorting Gridview Custom Control Inside Of A Wizard Control?

Dec 24, 2010

here's a situation and I would appreciate your response.

I have programmatically created the Wizard control:

Page_Load(obj s, evargs e)
{
Wizard ClaimDetailWizard = new Wizard();
foreach(int item in selectedItems)
{
//create new step
//added custom control to new step
//add step to wizard
}
//added wizard to a placeholder on a page
}

Based on List I get from Session i added new steps to my wizard To each step I had added a custom control

Each custom control in tern contains another custom Gridview Control in it.

So here's the problem when the page loads for example for two steps. All is good Wizard does what it's supposed to do.

But when I try to use sorting or paging in that custom Gridview. Somehow it displays the gridview I should see in the next step of the wizard.

Also what I'm noticing through debugging. Is that when I press next in the wizard I go back to the original page where I do all of the code specified above, and it recreates the wizzard. But it goes to the next step. Is this the way wizard supposed to work? Just doesn't seem very efficient.

Custom Server Controls :: Custom Composite Control With Custom Templated Child Controls?

Mar 22, 2011

I am trying to build a custom composite control, which allows me to add custom content to each child control. It's a similar concept to what you have with a GridView and TemplateColumn. The markup used to place the control on the page would end up being something like this:

[Code]....

I have the code below, which allows me to put that markup on the page without throwing any errors, and it renders all the correct HTML, except it doesn't render the contents of the ColumnTemplate. I have replaced the Render() code with a comment because it's quite long winded and doesn't add anything important here:

[Code]....

I have tried to follow examples on MSDN and other forums but I can't make this work. I think I'm missing the code to render the contents of the template, but I don't know how to hook that up.

Custom Server Controls :: Add This Control To The Page,an Alert To Check The Text Value Of The Custom Control?

Dec 20, 2010

created a Custom Textbox Control that is intended to be a "masked date" textbox, so that I can handle different ways a user might enter in a date and make it work no matter what.I did this by creating a custom control with 3 separate Textboxes one for month,one for day one for year,then do some handling for different things that could be entered and it would all work.

The problem I am having is,when I add this control to the page,if I do an alert to check the Text value of the custom control it just gives me "[ServerControl1]" even if I enter in a date.

I tried doing an AutoPostback after entering so that it would refesh the Viewstate to have the values of the textboxes but the control doesnt seem to actually postback, even though I have it enabled.accessing the Textbox value after someoen
has entered a date?first custom control I have created and have been using google.

My Server Control Code is as follows:

Custom Server Controls :: Controls Disappear In Custom Control Design View

Aug 9, 2010

I have a site using eight (so far) custom web user controls and two of them have started misbehaving in design view. When designing the control itself some (in one control) or all (in the other) regular controls (labels, text boxes, etc.) disappear from the design view surface. They can still be seen in the source view and if the control is hosted on a regular .aspx page the control displays properly. The code window recognizes all controls in the objects dropdown list and I can write appropriate code. The controls run properly on their hosted pages.

If I switch to Split view and select controls in the source view panel a very small area od the design surface becomes selected (like one pixel for any of us who remember programming old DOS applications with 80-column screens) but no controls can be seen.

In short, the controls work in every respect except that I cannot see all or part of the design surface in Design view when editing the controls directly.

I've double-tripple checked the source code for anything that may be causing this and just don't see anything. (The controls aren't that complicated.)

To Create A Custom Control That Adds Other Controls Visible To The Page Hosting My Custom ?

Oct 22, 2010

I want to create a custom control where I define several specifically named DIV sections. The code-behind logic of the custom control will perform operations on these named DIV sections. The page where the custom control is hosted needs to be able to add named controls to the DIV sections and perform operations on these named controls added to the DIV sections.

Let me explain a little further. In the custom control, I want to have code behind logic that fires the following Page Event and uses a condition to make one or another specifically named DIV section visible or not:

< _
ToolboxData("<{0}:BaseDetails runat=""server""></{0}:BaseDetails>") _
> _
Public Class BaseDetails

[code]...

how can I create a custom control which is able to generate the named DIV sections "DetailsNameDiv1" and "DetailsNameDiv2" where my custom control can check a condition and make one or the other visible. Also, I need to be able to add controls to these named DIV sections when I host the custom control and the control that I add to the named DIV section needs to let me set values of these controls from the code behind logic of the page (or usercontrol) where the custom control is being hosted (in my example, I am adding TextBox controls that I want to set the Text property from a SQL Data Reader).

Custom Server Controls :: Implementing An Interface From A Class Library In A Custom Control?

Jul 8, 2010

I'm building an n-tier application, with the web client and the class library separate. I'm also using the factory pattern of development, using interfaces to act as containers for different objects they are associated with. The problem I'm expreriencing is that I declared a public interface class in the class library and I can create an instance of it in in my aspx pages but whenever I declare it in my custom control code-side, i get an error, like so:

Error 20 The type or namespace name 'IContentMaker' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

notge that I have inherited the class library namespace using the 'using' keyword just in case you are wondering. My code is like so:

using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using TQO_Classes ; //importing the class library project
public partial class PageContentMgr : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
private IContentMaker _data; //this line throws the error, it works fine on aspx pages

Custom Server Controls :: Custom Control Design View Error

Aug 13, 2010

I have created a custom control from scratch and it works fine as in you can build the project that uses it and it works fine at runtime. Problem is when you go to design view the control shows an error in the place of where the control should be rendered.

Error: '<SomeValue>' Could not be set to '<SomeProperty>'

This shows up on all my custom set properties. These properties are created as basic as possible. I can give the properties values in Source view and run the app just fine. I can even add a Onclick event. If I don't set any custom properties the control will render fine in Design view. It's only when I set a value to a custom property.

Property Code Example:

[Code]....

I've even removed the Category and Description tags with no difference.

I don't know if what I said makes sens, but I hope it does.

as you see Aplicacion property is of a custom type Sistema, and Roles property is of type List<UserRol>.

The Aplicacion property is rendered well, this way:

The problem I have is with List<UserRol>. I couldn't get it to be rendered. I expeect to be rendered this way:

Finally, this is the TypeConverter and Editor definitions for the list:

The UserRol class is a typical class, without any special attributes.
