C# - Access Properties Set For The User Control BEFORE The Template Container Is Instantiated
Mar 30, 2010
i created a user control that has a template container.
[code]....
This is control is placed in a repeater which lists some customers. The customer is than bound to the user control. When the name template is instantiated in the container, the customer object is not yet available, but I need to access its name because it needs to get parsed before.
[code]....
Question: How can I access properties set for the user control BEFORE the template container is instantiated?
I want to use a couple of instances of the same control on a page. The user control is intended to display a list of records in a repeater. The aim is that the second control will show a list excluding the IDs in the first control The control has a number of public properties, including IDsInThisList, and IDstoExclude. The query will exclude the IDs in the second property.
What I would like to do is get the record IDs from the first instance of the control (IDsInThisList), and pass them to the second contro as the IDsToExclude.
I have a test page where I am setting the properties of the controls in code. As you might guess, it's not working! The first control displays the top 3 items, as desired, but the second display the records 1-7, rather than records 4-10 because it is not receiving the IDstoExclude from the first control When I response write the IDstoExclude from the first control in my testpage, the string is empty. (if I do it from within the control, it shows the IDs)
How can I get the controls to fire in order and pass values to each other?

This JQuery datatable is present in one of my webuser control named "LeftVerticalLayOut.ascx". I am dynamically instantiating Webusercontrol on click of a link button. This link button is bound with the trigger event of Update Panel control.
So clarifying once again : I have one UpdatePanel which I am triggering with Link button("lnkLoadControl") . On click on "lnkLoadControl" I am able to load Usercontrol("LeftVerticalLayOut.ascx") onto the updatepanel. Now the jquery datatable I am creating in load event of Usercontrol is getting generated.
After the datatable(having id as "example") is created, I am calling the below code in my
function loadHandler() { Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_beginRequest(BeginRequestHandler); Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler); }
[code]...
Now as I am creating the UserControl on the fly, the Jquery in not getting applied.
I have created an asp.net application which contains a user control. Within the application this control works fine. I have then moved the control into a separate "control library" project. When I try to load the control from the control library I find that the asp elements defined in the ascx for the control are not instantiated - i.e. I get a null reference exception in the Page_Load event handler. The only changes that I have made to the original application are to reference my control library and to change the <%@ Register statement in the loading page to reference the control library dll:
[Code]....
Do I need to do something else to get the user control to initialize itself correctly?
I am interested to know what happens with unused properties of a class when an object is instantiated?
Are there performance hits for having additional unused properties? What about complex properties that are accessing the database, but I'm not using them, are they still being loaded?
Once the template is loaded and cast back to the TabHeader class, it's null. How can I load that control, set the properties, and use it as the template? Or is the only way to go about doing this to create a custom class?
How could I change (programmatically) a couple of properties in a grdiview template ? For instance, the CalendarExtender6.enabled and the textbox, Duetext.readonly.
I have put a user control on my default page. The user control contains a label and a textbox. When I am trying to access the user control from the default page in the codebehind it says
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I am wanting to do something like this:
I have a usercontrol which has a combobox inside it.
This UserControl is the inside an asp panel - and when the panel is visible, the dropdownlist within the control binds to its datasource and behaves itself.
When the panel visibility is set to false, the dropdownlist within the usercontrol is empty.
dynamically resize a user control depending on the container it is currently in,or the other way around.and be able to resize a container based on the user controls size.Let me explain.Right now I have a page using the Ajax TabContainer and within one of the tabs I have my user control.My user control accepts a DataSet and simply lists the results in a GridView.
Right now when you go to the tab everything displays fine, except the results go all the way to the bottom of the page.What I would like to do,is to either resize the TabPanel to match the amount of data,or have a fixed height/width for the user control and make it scrollable.This user control can be on a number of different pages with different sized containers,so I am at a standstill.Has anyone done anything like this before or have an idea how it could be accomplished?
I need to access a control inside a repeater and change its properties. To enable it or not. I got an erorr message Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Here is my code inside a method. protected void
rptCAP_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e) { LinkButton lnDel = (LinkButton)rptCap.FindControl("lnkDelete"); lnkDel.Enabled = false; //<<<<< this is where the error occur }
I have a wizard control and I have defined a custom header template for it and I have put a label control inside that header template and I need to access it programaticly at runtime.
How do I get reference to it in the 'ActiveStepChanged' event of the wiard?
I'm able to change the mask value and mask type for ajax MaskedEditExtender using java script in run time but when I try to change the ValidationExpression and TooltipMessage for ajax MaskedEditValidator.
simply my code will call ChangeMask() function to do these changes when the check box change.
when you run my code the mask will work ok but not for MaskedEditValidator.
I'm developing a web site, and i'm using infragistics for web, but I want to use in some pages silverlight controls (Infragistics too). Is there a way to access a silverlight control's properties and methods from an aspx page?
I have a very simple user control in my web site project which has public property declarations as following
[code].....
When i drag the ascx file to one of my aspx page and when i go to code behind of aspx page i can access the controls properties through intelisense, but when i run the project through visual studio i get error "The name 'uctTest1' does not exist in the current context?
This is the line where Error shows when i run the project uctTest.StartDate = DateTime.Now;
i have a multiple user controls, each user control has multiple properties, i am loading those controls dynamically in my aspx page,i save the user control name in a hidden field in my aspx page,so i can know whats usercontrol are currently loaded,now i want to set/get some values for Currently user control properties,how can i know the properies available for that dynamics loads control ?also how to know the class for that control ?
I'm creating a web user control in asp.net using C# in which i can select a date from a calendar and display it in a textbox. when i select a date from the calender it has to be displayed in the textbox. now i need to set my own properties by which i can select datetime patterns in cs codefile. for example
usercontrol1.dd-mm-yyyy.
this is one example. now i want all the datetime patterns of "en-us". when i use that usercontrol in another page i want to set any of the properties(datetime patterns) to that control.
public partial class DateControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl { string dateformat; public string Dateformat {
[Code].....
i said that i want set properties for my user control and create events for that..
I have a user control (i.e. ascx) that comprises of two related list boxes (i.e. once you change the selected item in one list the contents of the other list update). I'm adding this user control dynamically to a page on the click event of a button (i.e. using LoadControl).I wish to set the list box datasource properties, as well as the default selected item of the parent list from my parent page so I created public properties in my user control to accomodate this. I also created an event in my user control that notifes the parent page when the selected item changes in one of the list boxes so I can update the contents of the other list box.
I understand that I have to recreate the user control on every postback in order for it to function correctly but I'm not sure exactly how I should be doing it. I've shown below what I have currently - whilst it works the problem is that on postback I'm always creating the user control with all its default properties and then updating the properties that need to change(?). For example, when the choice in theparent list box changes the datasource of the list box is set twice (once in AddControl and then again in OnParentChanged)? As the contents of the list boxes originate in a database it means I'm making unnecessary calls to the database (unless I do some something like store each unique set of data in the ViewState).
I'd be very grateful if someone could review how I've done things and illustrate how perhaps I should be doing things. I'm not sure if the way I've done this is considered the 'correct' way. For example there may be a better way of doing things would avoid setting the properties twice? I'm a bit unsure of the way I've set the datasource properties of the list boxes and bound them. I wished to set the datasource from the parent page because I might have a second user control on my page that may also use the same datasource and I could reuse it (as opposed to each control making its own call to the database) so I'd like to keep this feature if possible.It would be great if posting code in reply that you use my example as a guide so I know what you're referring to.Here's the code for my user control:
I have a webpart that loads in a user control programmatically. Although the webpart has personalization properties that I can use and pass to the user control, I haven't found a way for the user control to be able to update the outer webpart's properties -- the user control knows nothing of its parent webpart except what it is given. When I try to use the [Personalizable] attribute on a property inside the user control, it doesn't work; it doesn't save anything to the personalization database. In a nutshell, I need the user control to be able to personalize its properties (e.g. for a date picker within the user control where the date has to be remembered between sessions) or to somehow be able to update its parent webpart's properties.
With following code, I can fetch all properties of user control. I need to get only those properties which were separately defined excluding the default ones.
