is it possible to get HtmlTextWriter of a control?
if no, then how can i call the RenderEndTag of a control in code behind?
i am facing a problem in my application. i extended the listbox user control and override its RenderEndTag event.
if i used the new listbox (Mylistbox) normally inside a WebPage, everything works fine. but when i put Mylistbox in a Webusercontrol and include the Webusercontrol in a WebPage, the RenderEndTag of the control is not called for some reason.
If I have an HtmlTextWriter with some content in it, is it possible to append the output of ontrol.RenderControl to the existing content of the HtmlTextWriter directly?
Or do I always have to output to a separate HtmlTextWriter/StringWriter/StringBuilder and then append the StringBuilder?
I have this code that creates a document, and want to show it in a new page. I'm new with the HtmlTextWriter class, and don't know how to accomplish this.
Quite simply I want to be able to test that a Asp.Net web forms server control is outputting the correct Html as it will be building dynamic content. I'm just starting to create the control and wanted to do it in a TDD style building up the Html that gets output. I've created a separate class to do the actual Html building so that I am able to test it in isolation outside of the normal Asp.Net pipeline.In my unit tests I can control what html is returned but I'm having problems confirming that the html contains the markup I am expecting for example:
I have a third party tool that creates an img tag through code using HtmlTextWriter's RenderBeginTag, RenderEndTag & AddAttribute methods. I want to get the resulting HTML into a string.
I tried the reflection method mentioned here but I get a error "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.HttpWriter' to type 'System.IO.StringWriter". The InnerWriter type of the HtmlTextWriter is of type HttpWriter.
Im using a web form that contains a button(having id=btnSubmit) dropdownlist(having id='ddlDynamic') and a panel which has a dynamicpopulateextender that makes use of the fllg webservice method
I am creating a custom server control in which I place a RequiredFieldValidator. In the the Render method and I want to dynamically create a RequiredFieldValidator and render it to the HtmlTextWriter.
The problem is, when I call RenderControl on the RequiredFieldValidator, it only generates a span for me with no javascript or client side code.
How can I completely render a RequiredFieldValidator to an HtmlTextWriter?
i have problem in using ajax control , till morning it everything was file , now when i add any new ajax control it shows the error Control canot be created because visual studio cannot find the control's type in the control assembly then if i press OK it says The operation could not be completed . invalid FORMATETC structure
I have a custom DDL that lives in my Server control library. Currently I add this control to a table by strongly typing the name of the control, the customary way.
Control_Library.Report_NumberDDL newDDL = new Control_Library.Report_NumberDDL();
What I want to be able to do is dynamically create that control by pulling the control name from a table. So I would have the name of the control in my code, in this case "Report_NumberDDL", and I would like to then create the control without having to strongly type it.
Something like this, though I know this doesn't work:
string controlName = "Report_NumberDDL";
Control_Library."controlName" controlNum1 = new Control_Library."controlName"();
Edit:I tried to do this:
Type type = Type.GetType("Control_Library.Report_NumberDDL"); object control = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
But on the CreateInstance(type) I get a null value exception. So the Type isn't getting created correctly.
i'm trying to develop a ASP.Net control. If it based on System.Web.UI.Control id doesn't work correctly with Ajax.Net updatePanel. If I change it to System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl the it works fine with Ajax controls. What is the difference between them and how I implement it on Control based Control?
I have several checkbox controls on my web form that are not server controls (runat="server") How can I access these controls form my C# code? Can this be done with document.GetelementById from the server side using C#? Or some other technique?
I am not allowed to make these server controls (runat=server) because of a requirement.
ive created my own custom control, now in the code behind of the custom control file i can add Name.Click += new EventHandler(name); but on the codebehind of the page where ive used the custom control i cannot, is there anyway i can regsiter it as an available attribute to add? my code below and on the image the test codebehind click is not available, how can i get it?
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; public partial class LargeButton : System.Web.UI.UserControl { public string JSFunc { get; set; } public string SSFunc { get; set; } public string ImgName { get; set; } public string LinkText { get; set; } protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Link.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:"+ JSFunc + ";"); Link.HRef = "javascript:;"; Link.Title = LinkText; Img.Src = "~/App_Themes/" + Page.Theme + "/Images/Icons32/" + ImgName; Img.Alt = LinkText; //Link.ServerClick += new EventHandler(asd); } } <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="LargeButton.ascx.cs" Inherits="LargeButton" %> <a ID="Link" runat="server" class="MenuItemLarge" clientidmode="Static" > <img ID="Img" align="center" runat="server"/> <br /> <%= LinkText %> </a> <MB:LgButton runat="server" ID="Save" JSFunc="Save(this)" ImgName="save_32.png" LinkText="Save" />
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 custom control that is based off the gridview control located at: here The control is basically a gridview that automatically creates a column of checkboxes that can be used to "check" individual rows in the gridview. During the gridview's "CreateColumns" event, the "checkboxcolumn" is created dynamically. The checkboxcolumn also contains another checkbox in the header that is used to "select/deselect all" checkboxes in the column. Since the gridview does not automatically remember the state of the checkboxes in the checkboxcolumn on postback, I added a method to the control called "SaveCheckBoxState" which stores the indexes of the checked rows in Viewstate, and then I modified the "OnRowDataBound" event to check the Viewstate and reset the checkboxes based on the Viewstate.
I then added a call to "SaveCheckBoxState" in the gridview's OnSorting and OnPageIndexChanging events. This works great so long as I'm sorting or changing pages. However, I need it to update the viewstate everytime someone clicks or unclicks one of the checkboxes. At this time, the checkboxes are rendered with an onclick event that calls some javascript to highlight the row, or in the case of the checkbox in the header, to select/deselect all checkboxes. I need to call the "SaveCheckBoxState" method from the javascript used by the customcontrol, or I need to find a way to modify viewstate from javascript and perform the same action as "SaveCheckBoxState".
I've tried adding the "SaveCheckBoxState" to the onclick event declaration in the checkboxes, but when run, it simply tells me that the method is undefined. It doesn't exist in the parent page, and I don't think I should have to make an event for the parent page to pass the click to. It seems to me this should be all self contained within the custom control. Does anyone know how I can acheive this? Here is the code for the gridview OnPreRender event where the onclick event of the checkbox is set:
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e) { // Do as usual base.OnPreRender(e); // Adjust each data row foreach (GridViewRow r in Rows) { // Get the appropriate style object for the row TableItemStyle style = GetRowStyleFromState(r.RowState); // Retrieve the reference to the checkbox CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)r.FindControl(InputCheckBoxField.CheckBoxID); // Build the ID of the checkbox in the header string headerCheckBoxID = String.Format(CheckBoxColumHeaderID, ClientID); // Add script code to enable selection cb.Attributes["onclick"] = String.Format("ApplyStyle(this, '{0}', '{1}', '{2}')", SelectedRowStyle.CssClass, style.CssClass, headerCheckBoxID); // Update the style of the checkbox if checked if (cb.Checked) { r.BackColor = SelectedRowStyle.BackColor; r.ForeColor = SelectedRowStyle.ForeColor; r.Font.Bold = SelectedRowStyle.Font.Bold; } else { r.BackColor = style.BackColor; r.ForeColor = style.ForeColor; r.Font.Bold = style.Font.Bold; } } }
I don't think I understand fully how ASP.NET does inheritance of controls.I have a user control, ucBase, which has an asp.net label in the ascx file. Code behind references the label and it works fine during run time if the control is not a parent for another user parent.
If I have another user control, ucChild, inheriting from ucBase, the label in ucBase's code is always null. ucChild has no controls in its ascx fileThe server controls (like the label) needs to be declared in the ascx file and not created programmatically.What needs to be done for ucBase to see its own controls when it's a parent user control?
I need to create a reusable custom control,which is like a form containing a listbox and some fields.The fields can be either textbox or combobox as needed for different applications,which can be selected on the property of the form onwhich page that i am using it,also i needed to specify the number of fields in that property.And also need place 3 buttons below for edit and delete the selected item in the listbox and a button to save.Data will be binded from the database as needed for different applications.
tell me with code how to create it using asp.net server control in C#.
I need to create a user control. This control is so simple. It consists of a "Label" control and a "Textbox" control. The purpose of this control is just to be dropped onto a web page and have a user enter a single value into the textbox portion. This is the only code I have in the code-behind page of the control.
Public MustInherit Class AlbumName Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl Private _text As String Public Property Text() As String Get Return _text End Get Set(ByVal value As String) _text = value End Set End Property End Class
I would like to put a recognized event such as a KeyPress event in this control so that I can validate the users input.
I have a webdayview control (Infragistics proprietary ASP.net control) on my page. On the aspx source I've inserted some javascript (webdayview_click - clientside click event) that calls a webmethod in the codebehind. This seems to work fine, but when I insert this webdayview control into a user control and move the corresponding javascript into the aspx of the user control, it doesn't work. I can't even insert a breakpoint into the javascript function to debug it. Is there a way to make it work? I want to enable the click event of the webdayview control so that when I click on it, the javascript function calls the webmethod. Here's my code (remember it is inside a user control):
[code]...
I posted this question on the Infragistics forum but didn't get any replies. Hopefully I'll get some here. :)
I'm trying to find a TextBox in the code-behind page, it's inside a nested master page and also then inside another control container (it's inside ctrlCheckoutShippingAddress also) .
