I am fairly new to asp.net programming. I found this custom control that uses ajax to update the contents of the control and it is working perfectly. However, I need to access some of the asp.net labels and images in the databound event so I can set their values/properties appropriately, and am not sure how to go about adding additional code or accessing these in my custom control (I have been googling endlessly with no results). My code for the custom control is below.

I want to be able to do something like this
<test:TabControl id="" runat="server"....>
<ItemTemplate>
<tabItem label="tab1" />
<tabItem label="tab2" />
</ItemTemplate>
</test>
The idea being here is that the only acceptable items in "ItemTemplates" are the tabitem types. There are many asp.net controls that use this, for example the ScriptManager class only allows you to specify certain types of objects under its various collections. Maybe thats the key to this.. I want to add a collection as opposed to a template. The idea is that in code I will then iterate over each "tabItem" and create the tab as I want it to look (probably rendering div's etc). Ive had a look at most of MSDN link on how to create templated controls but it doesnt seem to do exactly what I want it to. Would be grateful for some assistance.
Context
I'm putting together a templated, databound control. Presently it works with the following syntax...
<cc:ItemChooserControl ID="ItemChooser" runat="server">
<TitleTemplate>
<h4><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DisplayName") %></h4>
</TitleTemplate>
</cc:ItemChooserControl>
Problem
What I would like though is that the shorter, simpler Eval would work instead.
<h4><%# Eval("DisplayName") %></h4>
What I get however when using straight Eval is an error:
Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.
Code
I'm databinding to a custom HtmlTableCell...
public class TitleTemplateTableCell: HtmlTableCell, INamingContainer
{
private object m_DataItem;
public virtual object DataItem
{
get { return m_DataItem; }
set { m_DataItem = value; }
}
}
With the following custom DataBind (non-related code removed)...
foreach (object dataItem in dataSource) {
TitleTemplateTableCell title = new TitleTemplateTableCell();
TitleTemplate.InstantiateIn(title); // TitleTemplate is the template property
title.DataItem = dataItem;
title.DataBind();
}
I've created a templated user control by following the example on the microsoft support pages. I won't post it all but the important part of the CS file looks as follows:
[Code]....
I'm not sure if the whole _CurrentDataItem business is required, I don't think so.The problem I've got, is that I've tried nesting it inside a FormView control so I can use it to display a record from a database. My ASPX looks like this:
[Code]....
Now, the bound properties (TitleText and TitleSubText) bind correctly, but the nested / template content is blank when the page loads. I'm not sure if this is something to do with the order in which everything is loaded or because I'm missing some code in the SimpleTemplate to get it to bind (etc.).
I am trying to access a control from the code behind in a tmeplated user control and and keep getting an object reference exception.
Is it possible to access these controls. I have tried the find control and just referencing the object i.e. this.someID, non of which worked.
Here is my templated control:
[Code]....
Here is the template ascx code:
[Code]....
Here is the test user control that is using the template:
[Code]....
Here is the codebehind for the test user control:

I have also tried this which throws the same error:
Label label = (Label)this.Page.FindControl( "DateTimeLabel2" );
label.Text = DateTime.Today.ToString();
Basically, I have a custom templated control with a custom data container class. When a developer adds an instance of my control to a page, they can define the controls in the LayoutTemplate however they like, as follows:
<ml:MyControl id="MyControl1" runat="server">
<LayoutTemplate>
<span><%#Container.ErrorMessage%></span>[code]...
I would like my control to automatically move the "ml_errormessage" (databound content from Container.ErrorMessage - hard coded token in the property) to be a class of its containing element to make it easier for jQuery to use a selector to find the element and dynamically insert the error message client side. More importantly, I would like it moved out of the way so the class name doesn't get replaced by the content and jQuery can find it as many times as it needs to during the page lifecycle. In other words, I would like the output to look like this without the developer changing the input template or resort to using custom controls in the template:
<span id="MyControl1"><span>
<span class="ml_errormessage"></span>
</span></span>
I would like to move the value using the controls collection rather than resorting to string parsing of the output, if possible. However, when I interrogate the collection in an override of OnPreRender, the control in the template looks like this in the debugger:
{System.Web.UI.DataBoundLiteralControl}
System.Web.UI.DataBoundLiteralControl: {System.Web.UI.DataBoundLiteralControl} [code]...
As you can see the "ml_errormessage" value is nowhere to be found. Upon analysis of the DataBind event of the Control class using Reflector, I see that it delegates the binding behavior to each control. In other words, each control handles its own databinding. However, since I have no way of knowing in advance what control types will be in the template, how can this change be done?
Note: an acceptable alternative would be to add a new HtmlGenericControl (span) in the exact spot where the "ml_errormessage" is and add it as a class to this new control.On a side note, is there an easy way to get the control's output to indent for easy reading during debugging?
I am trying to develop a very simple templated custom server control that resembles GridView. Basically, I want the control to be added in the .aspx page like this:

I know that what I want to achieve is pointless and that I can use DataGrid to achieve it, but I am giving this very simple example because if I know how to do this I would be able to develop the control that I need.

I'm working on a user control that renders couple nested divs (a rounded corner box to be frank). This is a templated user control, which means that user can put any control he wants into the header, body or footer of this box.

I have a templated user control with single instance template attribute. It works great for everything except the following scenario:
[Code]....
The folder selector uses a tree view that allows people to select a folder, its FolderSelected event works perfectly and the file selector updates with the files. The file selector has a repeater that lists the files in the selected directory. It has a linkbutton for each of the files so that the user can select a file. The problem is that the ItemCommand event of the repeater doesn't fire when the file name is clicked on. The page performs the async postback like it should, but in debug, the method to handle the itemcommand event is never hit. On the same user control to select files there is a button that the user can add files to the folder. When it is clicked, the event DOES fire and the file is added and the control refreshes in the update panel, everything perfect. It seems that because the linkbutton is already in a templated control (which is in a user control, in a templated control), the event isn't firing correctly. I am confused as to why this should be a problem, especially since all the other events (even the custom ones) fire as long as they aren't in another templated control. Since the code is complicated, I didn't want to post it all here.
I have datagrid and inside this grid have template field. I add Header text progr. like this

Does anyone have an example for how to create a Dynamically Templated Listview with prefernces page to specify which columns & column order)? Also the listview would also have Edit, delete and insert options if possible. And uses the n-tier approach with Bus Layer and does NOT use LINQ.

I have an ASP.NET website application, and there is a home page for my web site. I need to be able to change the default document of my website programmatically (C#) so that I can make another web page take priority above the one that already exists. I would then like to revert back to the previous default document order.
Example :
I have two home pages - Home1.aspx and Home2.aspx. In the IIS default document settings I have added the two pages and made Home1.aspx be the first default document then Home2.aspx the second. I need in some cases to be able to change the order of the two default documents so that Home2.aspx is the first default document then Home1.aspx the second.
How can I do that from my C# code?
Where can I find the default template used by EditorForModel? I'd like to use it as a starting point for customization. All I could find about it wasthis post from last year, but something must have changed since that was written because the Object.ascx template given doesn't work with client side validation.
View 2 RepliesIn a controller action function, we can add a create/edit/list/details view by right clicking. The content of aspx/ascx will be generated according to selected model.
my question is how to change the template in order to generate my customized create/edit/list/details view.
I'm playing around and created a new Web Form project and trying to make way with the default template. I've created the pages I need but trying to leverage the existing membership pages and ASPNETDB. I'm having trouble grasping how the asp pages are connecting to the database(and thus make my own changes). I cannot see any SQL syntax in the aspx pages or the code behind? I can tell the project is making use of the stored procedures but where is the actual connection configured or the command that is being run, for example when the "create" button is pressed on the CreateUserWizard control. Looking at the createUserWizrd I cannot see any adapters it might be using?
Perhaps my mindset is trying to apply, tableadapter and datasets way of working to asp controls. All the information and tutorials I'm looking at, seem to bypass the connection to the database and somehow there controls are 'taking care' of the I/O to the database. So if I wanted to add an additional field to the createwizard process, what do I need to do? Alter the db and the stored procedure, then?
