var div = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
div.Controls.Add(new Literal() { ID = "litSomeLit" });
var lit = (Literal)div.FindControl("litSomeLit");
Assert.IsNotNull(lit);
This code fails the assert, because lit is null. Debugging shows that div.Controls definitely contains a literal with ID of "litSomeLit." My questions are "Why?" and "Is there any way to get a control of a specific ID without doing a recursive search of div.Controls[] by hand one element at a time?"
The reason I'm doing things this way is that my actual application is not so straightforward- a method I'm writing is given a complex control with several subcontrols in a number of possible configurations. I need to access a specific control several layers down (eg, the control with ID "txtSpecificControl" might be at StartingControl.Controls[0].Controls[2].Controls[1].Controls[3]). Normally I could just do FindControl("txtSpecificControl"), but that does not seem to work when the controls were just dynamically created (as in the above example code).
I first create a Dynamic table with textboxes and other controls in the cells. A user then enter data into the controls and I try to save the entered data to an access database. but when A save button is pushed the controls are not found.
I have a basic one cell asp:table on the page called "Table1" and then I append this table by using the Controls.Add(TableBuilder()) function in the Page_Init().
How the code basically works:
Public Function TableBuilder() As Table dim r = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow() Dim c = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell() a = New TextBox a.ID = "Sunday" c.Controls.Add(a) r.Cells.Add(c) Table1.Rows.Add(r) TableBuilder = Table1
The table shows up fine but after I press the save button I look for the created control to get the value the user entered it says the control is not there.
SaveButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim txtSunday As TextBox = Master.FindControl("MainContent").FindControl(("Sunday")) UserEnteredData = txtSunday.text
But if I call TableBuilder() at the start of the function the control is found but the value the user entered is gone.
SaveButton_Click() TableBuilder() Dim txtSunday As TextBox = Master.FindControl("MainContent").FindControl(("Sunday")) UserEnteredData = txtSunday.text
My problem is as follows. I have a custom GridView control where I generate the Template fields for each column. I'm using someone elses class that extends the Itemplate and returns lables for ItemTemplate, and TextBoxes for EditTemplate.
I need this in order to implement bulk edit for the gridview where users press button Edit and all fields become textboxes, they can then change the values, and click Update button at which point I need to be able to retrieve the values from the TextBoxes in these Template Fields.
What I have tried thus far: when user clicks Edit button, my dynamic code builds the columns and specifies that the Template field is an EditTemplate, it then adds these columns to the grid view. The gridview shows the textboxes with all values retrieved from sqldatasource.
When I press the Update button, the page does a postback, as I can see Page_Load event fire, I check for a flag that I previously set when the Edit button was pressed (I store it's value in View State) and call the Update method.
In it I iterate throught the gridview rows collection, check that the RowType of each row is DataRow and call GridView.UpdateRow(i, false), passing each rows index to the UpdateRow method.At this point I have tried everything I can to find the values stored in the textboxes, but I cannot find any of the textbox controls.
I've tried using the current row's FindControl method and specifying the name of the textbox field,I've tried using Request.Params method where I can tried passing the client id, as it seen in the View Source of the page such as this
Request.Params["grid1$gvData$ctl02$MMCODE"]
Still no luck, I've tried going up an down the Row's cells, controls collections, it seem to list the counts for rows correctly, the same goes for the amount of cells for each row, but at no point was I able to actually locate any controls such as textboxes or anything else and retrieve any values from them.
I'm doing research on framework development for my company. SInce I will be developing a framework I can not simply declaire all my control in the code in front. Receiently I've been having trouble binding the controls from my ListView to my ObjectData Source. Basicly the properties in my DataObjectTypeName are not populated when the ObjectDataSource "Update" command is thrown. I recieve no error, I just get null values. All I need is an equivalent to this statement for code-behind ...
<%# Bind("AbstractText") %>This would solve all my issues. Ofcouse I will most likely need to bind the control's ID somewhere but that is not an issue. How do I Bind a control to a property in my DataObjectTypeName from the code-behind?
I'm building a navigationmenu and for that I create repeatercontrol dynamicly from codebehind. This works fine with the exception that the ItemCommand event is not firing. The ItemDataBound-event I bind to the repeater-control is working fine. Can somehow tell me what I'm doing from.
Is it possible to built a feature in a asp.net application which will let the user schedule things that would be run on the background?
For instance, say that there is a option in the application to send a email to every customer in the system on their birthaday. The user from the system could activate the option in the application, and for as long as the option is activated the system queries every day if some customers birthday is on that day and then send a email to that customer.
I think it has to integrate with the taskscheduler, but i don;t know how to integrate that dynamicly in a application
I have been using LINQ to SQL for quite a while (about two years). Every thing was fine until now. As usual, I created LINQ to SQL classes and built the project, then created an aspx page. However, I cannot see the DataClassesDataContext in the code behind file. It is not listed in the intellisense list.
I've got a gridview with a few textboxes in each row which I want to insert into a database, after a user clicks a submit button (thats outside of the gridview)
This is my code for the gridview
[Code]....
And this is my code for the button
[Code]....
But when I click the button it gives me this error
"Multiple controls with the same ID 'Label12' were found. FindControl requires that controls have unique IDs."
How do I give the controls unique IDs if they are in a gridview and the rows are database driven?
I got this error when i press a button, but i searched for that ID 'DXSelBtn0' i couldn't find it. Button is a Devexpress button, and i just add click event to it thats all. When i delete the event, i don't get that error. What should i do?
I have a dynamic gridview in which i need to add textbox, checkbox, imgButton in the cell dynamically.
At the moment user click on the imbgutton, a click event fire and i need to capture the user input on the checkbox and textbox of the particular cell.
I have problem in finding out the checkbox and textbox control in the imgbutton click event. The cause is i do not know which row in the gridview i need to search to for the control.
What I've done is I've setup a Gridview with a datasource to show only 1 of the columns I need from the datasource, but I also have another ItemTemplate Column in which I have a dropdownlist with another datasource that I've bound to the dropdownlist.
What I need to do is have the dropdownlist show the selected one when compared to a id from datasource in the gridview.
In my gridview, I have an ImageButton and when the user clicks it, I show a modal, however, when I popUp modal its showing me the same Datakey value for each row, so, is there a way to use FindControl for the selected row within the RowCommand?
this is probably very simple but I'm tearing my hair out!I'm using the FindControl method to try and grab the text in a textbox inside a DetailsView Template Field and display it on a label. Here is my code:
[Code]....
The word text has a squiggle underneath though and it causes an error as "System.Web.UI.Control' does not contain a definition for 'Text' and no extension method 'Text' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.Control' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)". I know the problem is that I'm treating this Control as a TextBox when it isn't, it's a Control. So how do I get from Control to TextBox so I can take the String and use it in code?
I thought I had this all figured out, in fact the following is similar to another page I have that works, but dinged if I can see what is wrong with this.I have a FormView with the InsertItem Template as the default. I have a label "UserId" that is assigned the logged on user's userid on page load with:
LblUserID.Text = Membership.GetUser.ProviderUserKey.ToString , which I am certain works.
There is a textbox "User_IDTextbox" within the InsertItem Template of a FormView, and I am trying to write the UserID into that text box using this VB code in a subroutine:
Dim TxtBxUserIDParent As TextBox = DirectCast(FVAddTradeResort.FindControl("User_IDTextbox"), TextBox) TxtBxUserIDParent.Text = LblUserID.Text
This does not result in populating the textbox within the InsertItem Template of the Formview template with the UserID
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(); cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE M_t1 SET c_name=@c_name WHERE id=@id"; cmd.Parameters.Add("@id", SqlDbType.Int).Value = (Label)Convert.ToInt32(grdmsal.Rows.FindControl("Label1").Text);// //(Label)grdmsal.Rows.FindControls("Label1").Text; cmd.Parameters.Add("@c_name", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox) grdmsal.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Controls[0]).Text;
I am using above i have a id field based on which i update the records. I dont want to display the id field to user the user just clicks edit against the row to be edited & should be able to edit above I get error nr find control
I'm doing this in my Master Page. I want to access a Linkbutton within the Gridview and set the enabled = false; I tested this and it works all the way up to the first if statement.If I insert a response.write to get the frmctrl.ID, I get all of the controls on the page. BUT, can't get the controls within the gridview.How do I get the contorls within the gridview? I prefer not to do this using Findcontorls and esp setting the control to Public.
I have a usercontrol include file that has a panel on which I have programatically added checkboxes that equate to the results of a selection via a sql select stmt.
I am now trying to find the results of the checkboxes (ie checked/unchecked) using findcontrol as per
[Code]....
the commented out code is a different attempt
Is this the correct method(s) or should I do something different
Can Someone explain why this doesn't work here, when it works in another formview? [Code].... I Get Object Reference Not Set, but its all there. I see no reason why it shouldn't work. Same error happens if i remove the first if statement and leave the second it Gives an error on LocationAddButton.Visible = false;
How do I disable the DataGrid controls in ItemCommand using VB.For Example I have dropdownlist bound in my DataGrid. Now I want to Disable this control in Datagrid_ItemCommand.I tried like this
I have a UserControl that has some controls inside. I want to refer those controls after, in another postback. But when I try to get them the Controls property of my controls returns null. I'm working on vs2008.
