While working with VS by default the editor generates this:
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
Now the ID generated is Button1 i.e First letter capital. My questions is what is the best way to name the controls ?
SubmitButton
btnSubmit
or something else?
Which naming convention is considered good ?
There is a conflict b/w our team members about following the naming conventions. We have downloaded a document that specifies the naming conventions for the ASP.NET controls. But it does not covers all ASP.NET 2.0 controls, so there is basically a fight
over the naming conventions of the controls that are not specified in that document. Take for example : GridView Control, the naming convention for this control is not defined in the document, so I suggested 'gvw' for the prefix name but my team mates are
suggetsing 'gv' for that purpose. I had somewhere read before that the naming convention should contain either three or four letters of a control like TextBox can have 'txt' and ImageButton can have 'ibtn' as the identifying name as prefix.
peoples naming conventions for DAL and BLL if there were any better names for them than those ones.
View 2 RepliesI've been searching google for recommendations on conventions or best practices when it comes to the 'case' and naming of files on folders within a Web Application.Most of the time I work within Visual Studio, developing ASP.NET web applications. In the past I've always used PascalCase for all of my files and folders, with the exception of Javascript files which tended to be camelCase.More recently
View 2 RepliesI have been using Sql Server since 2003, and still encouter situations that are just hard to solve :)I know it's a an sql server question, but since it's from a methodology and architecture point of vue, I thought it fit in this forum I am facing a sort of conflict with my current customer :An old sql server database, migrated from sql server 2000 to sql server 2008 (2003 project), which serves an asp.net application and cubes.naming of tables are like the following : tbl_ and Vw and yet procedures have no underscores. The database contains no functions.All object names are abbreviated, without any dictionary to understand what they mean. We have to ask every time.We developed a new module, and followed Pascal Casing, with clear words for the tables meaning.The customer makes a code review and says, that object are not correctly named :) and the meaning of tables is not clear. Names like AnalyticsAxis, is simply not clear. We also are asked to follow tbl.

View 6 RepliesI'm using a third part control suite by Obout. I have a parent grid with two detail grids. One of the detail grids, grid2, has an edit template which generates a custom form. When I edit or add a record, I get the error The OboutDropDownList control 'ddlPosition' does not have a naming container. Ensure that the control is added to the page before calling DataBind.. Only the ddl(s) error. The textboxes, labels and calendars do not error if I comment out the dropdownlists. I'll attach the code.

I've got a couple of questions about the naming convention for the DisplayTemplates and EditorTemplates in MVC 2.
If for example I have a customer object with a child list of account how do I:
Create a display template for the list of accounts, what is the file called?When I'm doing a foreach( var c in Model.Accounts ) how do I call a display temple while in the foreach? When I do Html.DisplayFor( x => x ) x is the model and not in this case "c".
I'm working on a project in which the client has required a lot of things to happen on a single page, and this has resulted in a rather large blob of HTML being rendered out to the client browser.
The main issue is with input tags (where runat="server" attribute is set), these tend to cause a drastic increase in markup size due to validation, updatepanel triggers, viewstate, and the control markup itself. I've done what I can to reduce the amount of triggers I'm using, I'm compressing the viewstate (to something like 8% of the original viewstate size), I've gotten rid of a lot of ASP.NET Validators and rolled my own, and and I've been using ClientIdMode to reduce the length of the ID attributes of many asp.net elements. All of these combined significantly reduces the amount of HTML being sent to the client, (for example going from 2 megabytes for a request down to 500-600 kb - these are HUGE pages, mind you).

I have done my searching and haven't found anything related to my issue. I have an aspx page that contains a regular drop down control. When the selectedIndex is changed, it fires off a post back and also rebinds a datalist based on its value. Inside the datalist I have an ascx control which has a gridview and an object datasource:
ASPX page:

My problem is that after my drop down posts back, when the process gets to DataList1.databind (in the selected index changed) i get a "The ObjectDataSource control 'ObjectDataSource1b' does not have a naming container. Ensure that the control is added to the page before calling DataBind." error.
During the post back, the pageload on my control runs and all my properties seem to have its values.
Strong Named Their Assembly. I've read on-line and in the help files for 6 hours straight and I am no where closer to getting this. It seems that every 6 months I run up against one of these types of things with VB.net and the .Net Framework. I read on line and find dozens of people who get the same exact error. Most of the threads are never resolved and the ones that seem to resolve the issue do it in a way that doesn't work for ever one else. It is really absurd.
My web site runs fine in debug mode on my computer (local host). It loads in FireFox and runs fine. When I post it to my web site I get the error below. I try to "Strong Name The Assembly" with the command line command "aspnet_compiler -v default.aspx X:NetProjectsHumMPI -keyfile X:NetProjectsHumMPIkeypair.snk -aptca"
Default.aspx is what fails. This should be the virtual folder of my web app. Obviously "Default.aspx" is not right. I have tried 42 variations on what I think the virtual path to my web app might be. Every single time the compiler fails telling me that it is not a valid path.
I'm moving in to week two of trying to get a simple "Hello world" web app to load on my web site. It runs perfect on my development machine but generates constant errors on the web site.

View 4 RepliesI'm struggling a bit with how to properly name the controllers in MVC. Should they be singular or plural? For example, lets say I have the tables Customer and Product in my database. Should the controllers be CustomerController and ProductController, or CustomersController and ProductsController?
Put a different way, does it make more since for the URL to be:
somedomain.com/Product
somedomain.com/Product/Edit/1
or
somedomain.com/Products
somedomain.com/Products/Edit/1
Is there a recommended naming convention for files and folders in ASP.NET? So far, I've found this thread on the native ASP.NET forum. But it doesn't sound very useful. Some people say "meh, naming convention is not that important", others reply "no, naming conventions are important" but don't say what the recommended convention for ASP.NET actually is.I can use standard VB notation for variables and method names inside the files.

I am using Entity framework to model my database (model first) however the table generator is creating tables with plural names. I have looked into the ssdltosql10.tt file. It is generating the table names from Entity set. Any way this can be changed to get the table names from "Entity Name" instead of the "Entity Set Name" so I end up with singular table names.P.S. BTW in Northwind Database the tables are pluralized however in adventure works database the tables are singular. I prefer singular.
View 1 RepliesI have a Web service which, when updated on one computer with VS2008 works perfectly fine, but on another computer does not. The critical difference is the contents of the auto-generated Reference.cs.
In the correctly functioning environment, the methods have fully qualified class names, refering to classes in a class library. However, in the problem environment, the class names are unqualified and partial classes are declared near the end of the file. E.g.
[code]....
The code is under source control. Checking out to the working environment works straight away, checking out to the problem environment will only work if the reference.cs is manually edited to be like the working environments. Transferring the project manually from problem environment to the working one only requires an "Update Web Reference" to be performed to allow compilation. Both Reference.cs files claim to be auto-generated by the same tool version. The settings from the good environment have been exported to the other. No success so far...
what is the best way to call my controls?
LblUserName or LabelUserName or UserNameLabel
I have some (probably very basic) questions about developing custom controls. I am wanting to derive a set of button controls, and the first one I have started on is a "DeleteButton", that has a additional property (DeleteConfirmationText) that is built into the OnClientClick attribute. To get that added, I overrode the Render method as follows:
[Code]....
This all works well. Now, I will add some logic to make sure that there is some text in the DeleteConfirmationText property, but that isn't the intent of my question.
What I am also wanting to do is to override some of the default property values, so I added that to the default constructor:
[Code]....
Now, in the designer in VS2008, and I look at the properties for the control, there isn't a default value shown in the "Properties" section, and the Causesvalidation still shows the underlying classes default value of "True". As well, in design mode, where the GridView control that containse my DeleteButton control would be displayed, there is an error box "There was an error rendering the control. 'Are you certain you want to delete this attorney?' cound not be set on property 'DeleteConfirmationText'. Here's the markup where I am defining the deletebutton control:

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?
