I created a user control in Asp.Net which I populate with <asp:Table id = "...." /> this table has columns that contain dropdownlists, textfields and other web controls. In the code behind I am not able to access these web controls, is there a way I can access them. or I shouldn't be doing that in the code behind of the user control? here is my ascx code markup:
If the answer to this question exists somewhere, I'm no good at searching for it. This is sort of a simple question, the response being two parts: (1) is it possible? (2) if so, how?
I've created a web user control for my site's footer. In my web.config I have it registered like this:
[Code]....
Then, within the pages on my site, I simply insert it like this:
[Code]....
But obviously, that didn't work. I get this error: The type or namespace name 'FooterControl' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
So I'm really not sure what to do at this point. I can put all of my code in the ASPX file and make my life easier, but I would kind of prefer not to.
I have a public property defined in code behind of a user control. I want to toggle visibility of controls in the markup based on the property's value.
I know in standard VB.Net development, you can access any form field from within a module class but I'm not sure how to do it using Web Forms.Here is my scenario:I have a Module.vb where I am putting all my Database Functionality. In each of my functions, I'm using a Try Catch construct.
I have a page called Article.aspx that takes content from the database. I would like to use the title of the content as the title of the page for a little SEO I am doing. I setup a literal on the aspx page that must take the value of the content title from the code behind, what is the best way about doing this? I'm guessing I need to open a data base connection to read the record from the table but I am still learning asp.net and not sure how to write it
I've a web project where i've an Tab Container (ajaxtoolkit), and when i run the project it works properly. But when i debug it, it gives me erros in all the controls inside the Tab Container that i'm accessing through .cs code behind (buttons, checkbox, etc).
Visual Studio gives me "The name 'controlname' does not exist in the current context". This happen to all controls inside the Tab Container that i'm accessing in code behind, but the Web project is running with no problems! As it's the first time that i use an Tab Container, i don't know if this is normal or maybe of Visual Studio 2010 RC (or not).
I've been playing with a certain detailsview for most of last week. This particular control is located within a panel that is hidden until a user clicks a linkbutton on a gridview. Then the panel's visible property is set to true and the detailsview is populated based on the commandargument passed through the link button. What I've discovered is that with each postback, the datakey or control parameter, still not sure which or if both, is lost. I've discovered a lot about ViewState and how controls work and am a bit surprised that something as common as using a detailsview within a gridview wouldn't be handled better than it is now. I have been able to get the proper information to build a correct select statement when the user decides to edit a record. I am now working on an update statement, but for some reason while I have the right key to update the right record, I am unable to access the user-generated data that was entered in the details view.
For instance, I select record with ID of 1 in the gridview. It pulls up the detailsview and I can view it. I then click edit. The correct record is still there. (It was previously going to default). When I enter new text in a textbox and click update, the app still knows I am working with record #1 but doesn't seem to be able to find the textbox control. I have currently hard-coded a value into the field just to see if I could actually get the record to update and it did. I am using an OnInit to cause the sub to run and think this might be the problem. However, I have been unable to find a better way around this.
Here is the sub that executes on the OnInit() of the detailsview:
Protected Sub notes_binding() If notesDetail.CurrentMode = DetailsViewMode.Edit Then sqlNotesUpdate.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE [Oilchange_Notes] SET [notes] = '" & CType(notesDetail.FindControl("notes"), Textbox).Text & "' WHERE [vehicle_id] = " & Session("unitNumVal") sqlNotesUpdate.UpdateCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text sqlNotesUpdate.Update() End If sqlNotesUpdate.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [Oilchange_Notes] WHERE ([vehicle_id] = " & Session("unitNumVal") & ")" End Sub
And this is the error I get: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. If I'm correct about why it's not pulling the actual value or even acknowledging the control exists and is actually 'notes' (it is), then at would point would be the best to place this code?
Works find on initial page load, but gives me "Object variable or With block variable not set." on this like "ColourHex = e.Item.DataItem("ColourHex")" on postback?
I have created a web user control (MemberDetails.ascx) which is loaded dynamically on a page (Member.aspx) for my website. The control has some TextBoxes. I want to store the values inputted by a user in these TextBoxes to a database on the click event of a button that is on the Member.aspx page (i.e. not a part of user control).
I have a class that derives from System.Web.UI.Page and have set my pages to derive from this custom page class instead of Page. At runtime, the controls are never initialized and throw a NullReferenceException. I've changed some class names and namespaces in the pasted code to protect the innocent. The only thing that I currently override in my PageBase is OnPreLoad and I do call the base.OnPreLoad. I'll eventually add more functionality to this PageBase but for now all that it has is this:
[Code]....
I've tried putting this into a class library (with System.Web referenced) and I've also tried moving the class into the web application and had the same results either way. As another strange twist, I have another class with derives from PageBase called IndexPageBase and it doesn't have this problem:
I am working on a page called Edit.aspx and on that page is a User Control.
Note: I need to access the User Control from a button that is on the Edit Page. Once I get a handle of the User Control then I need to access a DataList on that user control and finally I need to get the ID of a dropDownList on the User Control
This is all the code I have,Goal: From the Edit page I want to drill backwards to the UserControl/DataList/DropDownList
'Geting the user control
Dim ctrl2 As UC_SiteTemplate2 = CType(Page.LoadControl("~/UC/SiteTemplate2.ascx"), UC_SiteTemplate2)
'accessing drop down list from user control
Dim xListNumber1 As DropDownList = New DropDownList() xListNumber1 = ctrl2.FindControl("DDLOrderList1")
I have a piece of code that is just HTML. It was previously created as a user control. Within the application i'm working with there are two seperate websites that are interlinked to make one website. There is a documents section where users do not need to login and a data section where users need to login. The design was implemented long before I was hired. My problem is I want to use the code from the documents website with the data website but I can't seem to register the control. I only one this piece of code in one place so when it is updated it doesn't have to be in multiple places. I tried setting "src=http://website/doc/doc.ascx" but this errors out saying
I'm developing an ASP.NET user control in VS2008 that writes to a SQL Server 2005 database. I've published the control to a SharePoint 2007 MOSS page using the SmartPart addon. The control consists of a few text fields and a submit button that writes the contents of the text fields to the database. When I test the control in the Visual Studio debugger, it works fine. When I try to submit data from the SharePoint page, I get the error shown at the end of this post. Last time I saw this, it was a database permissions error, but I've granted my site's default application pool read/write access to my database. Does anyone have any idea what else the problem might be? Also, how can I double-check the credentials that the SharePoint page is using to access the database, since I still suspect that this is a permissions issue?

On our website users can sign up. The sign up controls (converted to a template) has the usual text boxes and then the create user button. When pressing this button the account is created. After reloading the website, the user can see his credentials in his 'my account' tab. Question: How can we access the newly created user (especially his userid) right after the create user button was clicked? Right now this does not work, we can only start accessing this after the page has been reloaded. But surely the account is created the instant the button was pressed. I have tried this:
But it looks as if the user is not yet logged in at this stage. Can this somehow be forced so that we can access the newly created userid right after the user has clicked the create user button?
I have an ASP.NET 4.0 application with some simple user controls. The user controls work fine on the design surface (VS.NET 2010), but when they're loaded during application execution, nothing shows up.
Futhermore, the various child controls of the user controls are null when referenced inside the code behind for the user control.
The code behind for the user control executes as expected, but any reference to child controls are null.
It's like ASP.NET is never parsing the ASCX to create the instances of the child controls.
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?
I have a code behind page that has several method; one of them is a page method.
[WebMethod] public static void ResetDate(DateTime TheNewDate) { LoadCallHistory(TheNewDate.Date); } protected void LoadCallHistory(DateTime TheDate) { bunch of stuff }
The method LoadCallHistory works fine when the page loads and I can call it from other methods inside the page. However, in the web method part, it gets underlined in red with the error "an object reference is required for the non-static field".
How do you access functions from the page method part of the code?
Seem to be having trouble getting ahold of an asp:Image I placed on an .aspx page in my code behind. I'm trying to set the Visible property to "true" programatically.
Now that I put this html inside a Tab containe (subpanel) the Page.Request.Form["Name"].ToString() fail, actually while I was debugging I could not find this element inside Page.Request.Form.
maybe there is another way of accessing the Html element from my c# code?
I have a few pages in my web application where I would like to be able to use the code-behind of a master file, but not 'inherit' any of the other stuff like asp/html markup etc.
i have a link button which i have created dynamically and added it to a div i want to access this link button in some other function in code behind how to do this
