C# - Get The "typeof" Of A Custom User Control?
Feb 9, 2011
I have a custom user control DatePicker.cs. Inside of another piece of code I have a collection of controls where I am checking the type of the control and doing some logic based on the type. My problem is the following: typeof(DatePicker) Evalutes to:
{Name = "DatePicker" FullName = "cusitecore.cedarsc.UserControls.DatePicker"}
But when I run the debugger and look at the type of the control that is on my web form it is:
{Name = "cedarsc_usercontrols_datepicker_ascx" FullName = "ASP.cedarsc_usercontrols_datepicker_ascx"}
These two things aren't equal so the correct logic isn't getting evaluated. I've tried using Type.GetType("ASP.cedarsc_usercontrols_datepicker_ascx") but this returns null.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
private readonly Dictionary<Type, ControlType?> _controlTypes = new Dictionary<Type, ControlType?>
{
{typeof(CheckBox), ControlType.CheckBox},
{typeof(CheckBoxList), ControlType.CheckBoxList},
{typeof(DropDownList), ControlType.DropDownList},
{typeof(HiddenField), ControlType.HiddenField},
{typeof(ListBox), ControlType.ListBox},
{typeof(RadioButton), ControlType.RadioButton},
{typeof(RadioButtonList), ControlType.RadioButtonList},
{typeof(TextBox), ControlType.TextBox},
{typeof(Label), ControlType.Label},
{typeof(DatePicker), ControlType.DatePicker},
{typeof(CustomSelect), ControlType.CustomSelect}
};................

I have a custom control which inherit from the Table class and in the constructor, it takes a an integer as an argument. There is no empty constructor.
Is there a way for the user to set that variable in the properties window after they drag the control onto a form.
I know some .NET controls, you can set the source for the parameter to different things like another control's property, QueryString using just the properties window.
Right now, I have to create the control dynamically. I read the query string and then created the object.

I have created a user control and am ready to convert it into a custom control. I am trying to follow:
[URL] the steps mentioned in the link.
I am not seeing Build / Publish Web Site option.
I am using VS 2008. I only see Publish User Control but it doesn't give all the settings mentioned below. When I do publish user control, it just copies the ascx file to the desired location. how can I convert the user control to custom control.

I have a web user control that represents a simple message box. It is used to display simple messages like "Item has been deleted", or "The item was saved successfully".
On the other hand, I have another web user control that represents the item in the form of an editable form (I made this a user control because this is used in two different pages). I want to embed an instance of the message box user control inside the editable form. I am writing this right after the @Control directive:
[Code]....
Instead of using @Register directives, I register the user controls in web.config and so far this has worked just fine.
With the above markup, the project compiles, but whenever I try to navigate to a page that contains this construct, I get an HttpParseException exception. Furthermore, Visual Studio states that the tack w7rc9:MessageBox doesn't represent a known control.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm new to all of this, so go easy on me. This should be an easy one. I have created a custom SmartContentBlock user control for a CMS.The control works, but only if I invoke the Fill() function in the Page_init event in the codebehind of the ASPX page. My goal is to modify the class file so that the Fill() in the codebehind is no longer neccesary. So, for reference, here's the gist of the current situtation.Controls.cs

I have a user control (ascx file) that contains an interface for users to change the data retrieved from the db. So, I am displaying data and most of this data can be edited by the user. When the user enters text into a textbox, and clicks "Save Changes", the value they typed in is lost and not persisted to the database. I realize now this is because the SaveChanges button does a postback, and the user control gets reloaded with its original valuesbefore the code within my SaveChanges button gets executed. I'm not sure if there are properties I need to set to save the input data, or if I need to write my own code to do it. What is the generally accepted method to do this? (Also, all of the controls in the ascx file are wrapped in an Update Panel.)

I need to develop control (template or user) which must have subtags with some items.
For example :
<SomeControl runat="server" id="scTest">
<column1>TestColumn1</column1>
<column1>TestColumn1</column1>
<column1>TestColumn1</column1>
</SomeControl>
This control may contain some other web server controls such as GridView.I need explanation of experienced developers, how to do that - take me to the right way

I would like to know how to add some additional child nodes to a custom user control class derived from System.Web.UI.Control. For example currently I have a control that contains no child nodes and on the design surface looks like the following.
<cust:MyCustomControl id="ctlMyCustomControl" runat="server" attribute1="somevalue" attribute2="somevalue" ></MyCustomControl>
What I am looking for is to have the ability to add n number of child nodes to this control from the design surface and then access their values from the code. So adding to the control stated above.
<cust:MyCustomControl id="ctlMyCustomControl" runat="server" attribute1="somevalue" attribute2="somevalue" >
<childnode1>value1</childnode1>
<childnode2>value2</childnode2>
</MyCustomControl>
It is not clear to me how to access the child nodes.

If a composite server control normally encapsulate styling information inside, it is an example of code encapsulation and modularization. However if css properties are included inside the composite control, it is not ideal for code/styling separation and css code re-use principles. Now which consideration should be the main consideration?

I have a published web project. I want to add some .ascx files (with .cs & designer.cs files) to that published web site. These are simple custom user controls that access methods already part of the original application. Question? Is it possible to just drop these in the published web project without building the entire solution? If not why? When I drop these files in and run my application I get the error: "Parse Error: Could not load type 'the name of my custom controls namespace'". There is not a lot of code to show so this is all I have.
Default.aspx
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPages/TwoColumn.master" AutoEventWireup="true"
Inherits="ApplicationName.Web.Default" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="CustomControl" Src="~/Controls/Custom/CustomControl.ascx" %>
<asp:Content ID="content" contentplaceholder="cph" runat="Server">
<uc1:CustomControl ID="cc1" runat="server" CustomProperty="Hello World" />
</asp:Content>
CustomControl.ascx
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CustomControl.ascx.cs"
Inherits="ApplicationName.Web.Controls.Custom.CustomControl" %>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="ph1" runat="server></asp:PlaceHolder>
CustomControl.ascx.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
namespace ApplicationName.Web.Controls.Custom
{
public partial class CustomControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
///My logic
}
}
Again it seems so easy. What am I missing? Or is this not possible?

I have a custom user control UserProfileLink on which I have two basic string properties, UID and UserFullName which I would like to use in a template column in a DataGrid like this:
....
<ItemTemplate>
<td:UserProfileLink ID="uplUser" runat="server" UID="<%#Eval("UserUID") %>" UserFullName="<%#Eval("UserFullName") %>" />
</ItemTemplate>
....
I get an error saying "The server tag is not well formed" which leads me to believe this type of binding isn't possible. Is there a way to do this, or is it impossible?

I want a create a custom/user control that has children.
For Example, I want my control to have the following markup:
<div runat="server" id="div">
<label runat="server" id="label"></label>
<div class="field">
<!-- INSERT CHILDREN HERE -->
</div>
</div>
and when I want to use it on a page I simply:
<ctr:MyUserControl runat="server" ID="myControl">
<span>This is a child</span>
<div runat="server" id="myChild">And another <b>child</b>
</ctr:MyUserControl>
The child controls inside my user control will be inserted into my user control somewhere. What is the best way to accomplish this?
The functionality is similar to a asp:PlaceHolder but I want to add a couple more options as well as additional markup and the such. Also the child controls still need to be able to be accessed by the page. (in the example above the page should have the myChild Control on it)
EDIT ------
It can be a template control as long as it allows me to reference the children on the page.

I have a modalpopupextender inside a custom user control and when the user clicks on a imagebutton in the custom user control, this modalpopup has to be displayed to the user for inputs. The problem that I am facing is that nothhing is getting displyed even after clicking the image button.
i am using master pages and this custom user control is being added dynamically to one of the child pages. I have added the scriptmanager as a part of the child page rather than as a part of the user control because there are multiple custom user controls present in this page.
Lemme go to the code:
This is the snippet present in the custom user control:

so I have this custom user control, just some data inside divs with a fancy css.
So inside my page I need to add it multiple times, and I do so in code behind within loop.
Now, this code doesn't work
[Code]....
and of course it works fine now. My questions would be - why? can I do it without pecifying file name and just creating control the normal way like in first example?:S

I have a usercontrol (ascx) that I want to dynamically add to a page.
Neither the control nor the page has a namespace (thanks crappy vendor).
When I use the following, it tells me it cant find the "type or namespace"
StayTunedControl = (UserControler_StayTuned)LoadControl("~/UserControler/StayTuned.ascx");
Page.Controls.Add(StayTunedControl);
StayTunedControl.StayTunedID = Convert.ToInt32(IncludesStayTunedMeta.Value);
After some tweaking to the namespaces, etc, I am now at a point where the 3rd line above generates the following error:
'System.Web.UI.UserControl' does not contain a definition for 'StayTunedID'
I was hoping that casting StayTunedControl as type (UserControler_StayTuned) would fix this.

We have created a Master page that inherits off the asp.net Master class.We have also got ui controls that inherit off the standard asp.net ui control class.Our Master page has a public member variable. We need to be able to access that member variable from the ui controls that we use.However we can't seem to get at it? Is it our architecture that is wrong? Or the idea itself - user control getting acces to Master page variables?
