my web application i use FindControl to retrieve a Control By Name (it returns an System.Web.UI object). The control can be of various type and I don't want to treat them differently: I'd like to set the Text property to a defined string. I hope there's a class that I may use to cast the control and set the Text property.

I just began to look into custom server controls a couple days ago, and while I'm happy with my progress overall, I'm stuck on an issue.
Conditional.cs
[code]....
EDIT 2: It seems that the problem now is that I cannot set a parameter with a databound value before the control is initialized
<cv:conditional id="condTest" runat="server" selector='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem") != null %>'>...
I am developing one custom control. I dont want default web control property should be in my custom control.For example.[Code]....
When you put this control in the page, you will see default web control property such as Font,Border,Width,Height.... I want to show only those properties that I define in my class.Suppose, I have three property defined in class then only three properties will be visible for control, other default web control proeprty should be hide or invisible.
How do get the value in the JavaScript function identified in ClientValidationFunction property that was entered in the control that was identified in the ControlToValidate property of a asp:CustomValidator control?
function MyValidateFunction(sender, args) {
//want to get value of MyControl

<asp:CustomValidator
ID="cvAlarmedLocationAddress"
runat="server"
ControlToValidate="MyControl"
ClientValidationFunction="MyValidateFunction"
Text=""

I have a user control with a WebDateTimeEdit server control on it (essentially a TextBox). I'd like to be able to set some of the server control's properties by way of the user control's markup or programatically. for example I have this defined on my user control:
[code]....
this blows up because WebDateTimeEdit1 is null.
is there any way I can make this happen? also can do I do this
myControl2 .Font.Size = FontUnit.Point(8);
where the Font property is read only on the server control?
I've got a web site that has a master page and that master page (mpMaster that has a user control ucControl1) which has a sub user control (ucControl2), this user control has a property which accepts a value. Now, I have a page that uses the master page
and on this page I have another user control (ucPageControl), I need to find a way of setting the value in ucControl2 from ucPageControl. Is this possible at all?
ASP.net can't update page from event handler
and it's been answered! My only problem is I don't really understand the solution. How does one Invoke the control when setting the property.
I have a label control but there doesn't seem to be an Invoke property/method on it.
I tried this...
PropertyDescriptorCollection properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(Label1);
PropertyDescriptor myProperty = properties.Find("Text", false);
myProperty.SetValue(Label1, "my value");
but that seemed to be the same as
label1.text = "my value"
which didn't work
I have some control. I add one instance of this control to every Page in OnInit event and I want to access this control in other places in this way: Sample.Current
public class Sample : Control

public static Sample Current

get

}
}
}
Can you tell me what is the best way to do this property implementation?
I have an ASCX that contains
<my:Foo ID="Bar" runat="server" Value='' />
I want to set Value with textbox1.Text, but Value is an Int32. I am looking for something like this:
<my:Foo ID="Bar" runat="server" Value='<%= Int32.Parse(textbox1.Text) %>' />
But I getParser Error Message: Cannot create an object of type 'System.Int32' from its string representation '<%= Int32.Parse(textbox1.Text) %>' for the 'Value' property.Is there a way to do this on the ASCX file? Do I have to implement a TypeConverter for this property?
I need to loop through all controls on ASP.NET webpage. In configuration file I have a list of control types and their properties which will I handle in some way. Now, I am interested in following: how can I get that needed property, when all I have are strings, ie names of types of controls and names of their respective properties.Here is example: In config file I have strings:
controltype = "label" propertyname = "Text"
controltype = "Image" propertyname = "ToolTip".
so I have something like this in my code:
List<Control> controls = GiveMeControls();
foreach(Control control in controls)
{ [code]....

i built a user control and i want to make one of its properties as a must, that's mean if you not supply this control when you create the control the project won't be compile, just like if you omit the runat="server" property.

<asp:LinkButton ID="MoreLinkButton" PostBackUrl="/real/Coordinator/Home.aspx?JobRefNo="'<%# Bind("JobRefNo") %>' runat="server">Go To Job...</asp:LinkButton>

I have a user control that has the following property
public string ReportID
I've noticed that on aspx page IntelliSense doesn't display the Style property of a web control, even thought the control does have a Style property. Does that mean we shouldn't declaratively set the Style property:
<asp:TextBox ID="UserName" Style="color:Green; padding:0px; margin:0px;" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
In a Windows App this is considerably easy to get the property value of height or width. However in ASP.Net App it seems rather challenging to get the value. Something like...
Debug.Print(TextBox1.Height) this does not work because cannot be converted to string
Debug.Print(TextBox1.Height.Value) it ends up at 0.0 even though it is really set to 25px
Debug.print(Unit.Pixel(TextBox1.Height).ToString) doesn't work either
What I'm doing is some dynamic comparisons for control properties:

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to learn ASP.NET 3.5 from a book using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express. I've come across a curiosity. The book had me create a Label control and wanted me to change some of the Font properties. I went to the Properties window and saw a heading for Font with a plus sign next to it. I click on the plus sign and the sub-properties for font appear. So far, so good.
When I did the next exercise in the book, it had me create a new Web page with another Label control, and it wanted me to change the Font property again. But, this time when I went to the Properties window, I did not see a Font heading with a plus sign. I simply saw all of the Font sub-properties.
if tree node does not have tag property like windows treeview control then i just want to know how could i attach the tag property with each tree node.
View 1 RepliesI created one web user control with property named "ReadonlyField" with boolean datatype. I am able to use in my web pages and now i wanted to add a description to that property so that i dont need to explain each time to my team member what is that property's intention.
I got following snippet in c# but didnt find any equivalent in vb.net and also not sure whether it will work or not.
[Description("My Description")]
public int MyIntProperty

get {..}
set {..}

I created an Extender which has a custom property that drills down a list XML elements from an xml file, where users can select xml elements during design-time. This works perfectly fine. However, my code only has a hardcoded xml filename (source of the xml elements list) and I need to change this by maxing the xml file user-specified.
What I did is that I created another control (panel) which has a custom property that when clicked (through the ellipsis), it will allow a developer to select the xml file which is supposed to be the source xml file that the Extenders shall use. The filedialog from custom panel's property works perfectly fine.
However, my problem now is that when I drag-drop my Extender, I cannot find a way to get the property value of the custom Panel Control which contains the xml filename. I tried creating a static variable which I thought the custom controls can share but VS2010 is breaking.
