As far as I understand UpdatePanels, they should be invalidated separately, i.e. triggerring one UpdatePanel should not touch the controls of the other panel. It does work so for controls outside of any UpdatePanels, however those which are inside ANY UpdatePanel are touched by triggering ANY UpdatePanel:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="SM1" runat="server"/>
<div>
[code]...
For example, I have three UpdatePanels on the page. I click a button, and I get pretty long response, that contains all the data for the three UpdatePanels, the viewstate string.
I want to optimize my query and receive response like "ok" or "not ok". How can I do that?
My website is organized in the following folder structure
Root
Pages
CustomerManagement
DepartMentManagement
Script
UserControls
Now i have a user control inside userControl Folder. I have to use a external js file. So i use it this way
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="../Script/slider.js"></script>
My understanding is that since both are under root so i have used a single .. Now what happens is that when this usercontrol is used inside DepartMentManagement it checks for script folder inside CustomerManagement as .. refers to one hierarchy above and script file is not found.Even using a ~ doesnot work.
I want to make this script path independent of the path where this control is used. I don't want to move script reference code to the page as control requires script mot page.
I've got a single table, with project information and schedule information. To make the data easier to present, I created a tab control with two panels (a detailsview in each). The first tab is for project info, the second tab is for schedule info (again, all fields in the same table). The problem is, if i change info in both tabs, and then hit the update button, only the data from one tab is added to the table. I think this problem is simple to fix, and boils down to the way I have the page organized, but I can't quite figure it out.
I've boiled my code down to the following conceptualized structure:
[code]....
When you click the update button, you return to the listview, but with only the information from your current tab saved. How can I get it to update from both detailsviews?

I have a Select All checkbox in my grid that calls this function...works fine. Outside of my grid I'd like to use another checkbox for something else, but when the select all checkbox in the grid is selected, it also selects my checkbox outside of the grid. Is there way to make the checkbox outside of the grid independent from the ones in the grid?

How do I capture other events in an asp.net textbox on a webpage in more of a way in which a windows app does? For example, if I want to handle when someone just presses a key (keydown) on a textbox in a webpage?
The functionality that we want to create breaks down like this:
We want to create a "smart" search box at the top of our page. When the user starts typing, a little panel or some element should become visible and it will have some check boxes on it. They can search for one or many different types of searches: First Name, Last Name, Business Name, ZIP, Customer Number, and Contact Info. As they begin typing their search, we need it to execute some code that attempts to figure out exactly what they are searching. So if it can tell they are typing in alphabetic characters and not numbers, then we know to NOT check the Customer Number box, but we will want to check the First Name, Last Name, and Business Name boxes. If they start typing a number, we know that we can check the Customer Number box and leave the First Name and Last Name, etc boxes unchecked. If they type a number that is 5 digits, then we know to check the ZIP and Customer Numbers both. Any other length number characters and the ZIP will be unchecked. And any other rules like these that we might want to implement in the future. The idea here is we will almost always be able to tell what someone is searching, but the user can always check any box that they want to search for if they so choose. For example, if a business is named "123 Plumbing Company" and they just want to search the Business Name field for a number, they can over ride it and do that. Otherwise, they just can blindly type their search and hit enter and the program will usually know what kind of search they are trying to do.
I come from a strong windows app development background and have just recently tried to do some web development professionally. A quick few sentences on what philosophy I am missing out on as far as a more robust and "Windows App-like" webpage would be appreciated if anyone wants to coach me on that area and point me in the right direction!
Also, in my example we are using master pages. So if you can imagine a typical master page that has a logo top left and a search box and button top right, then you can picture what we have. Its simple looking. But with the content page being a separate aspx page, we are having trouble referencing it after a search is performed anyway. So what I mean by all this is The masterpage.master has a search textbox. They type something, hit enter. We then want a gridview that is on our default.aspx page to update with the results of the event that was fired from the masterpage.master.
My windows app background tells me to just point to it like I would from two different forms. Like if I had a form1 with a search box on it and I wanted it to show up the results on form2, I would just say Form2.Show: Form2.GridView = whatever.
Of course, with my confusion of what the scope of these asp.net pages is, I am having a difficult time just visualizing everything and how they are inter-related.
So I guess to recap here:
1) How do I tap into more events with textboxes or any other asp.net control. Is the answer AJAX? If so, can you elaborate just a little bit?
2) How would I use the keypress or keydown type of event to make a panel or some kind of content holder to become visible when the textbox gets focus from the cursor and go back to being invisible if it loses focus.
3) What about the scope in which asp.net pages behave?
how to make rounded corner panels.
In default property styles rounded corner is not there.
i have 4 update panels, and 1 of them updates after a button has been clicked, and the other 3 panels contain other buttons, but what i would like to do is that, when the button is clicked, how would i make it ONLY trigger for that update panel, as it updates the whole page, and is affecting my Textbox on the page, which is also in an update panel. how i could make just that specific panel update, and not all of them?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to use an UpdatePanel that has like a few text boxes, and a search button, and then perhaps another UpdatePanel that has a gridview in it to return the results of what was searched. When the user clicks search it hides the boxes, and displays the gridview. Can I do this with UpdatePanels? I am using c# for my coding. Or should I be doing this another way?
View 3 Repliesi have the below page and i am racking my brain as to why when i have two update panels do they both get post backs. i can tell cause i have two user controls- one in each panel and they both fire page load events when only the left panel should be posing back and updating itself... or else whats the point of update panels if in reality the entire page is posting back!

so I got the following page - student listed with 6 buttons to indicate a lunch choice. Clicking the button will update the DB immediately - so a postback happens and lots of screen flicker.
Where do I put update panels in this messy repeater in order to make just a row "redraw"? I broke the code into two parts so you can see the StudentRepeater in the second code window.Also - note that the lunch counts in the labels on the left will also update from the DB. Does that go in it's own update panel?
Code:
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="BodyPlaceHolder" Runat="Server">
<table id="treetable" style="width: 100%;">

I'm looking for a way to use custom ASP.NET validators to validate input, without using UpdatePanels, and without a full postback. The validators do several things - not just length/regex, but some other non-standard stuff as well. Javascript is required for our users, so I don't have to worry about normal users who have javascript turned off. I see several options, but none are ideal:
1) Suck it up and use UpdatePanels. I'm in the "UpdatePanels are evil" group, so I'd prefer not to do this.
2) Without using validation controls, manually validate the fields by passing the values to a PageMethod static method, via jQuery or any other AJAX framework. This would require client and server coding each time I needed to use a validator.
3) Use jQuery (or any other javascript framework) validation for client validation, then if they somehow get by that, have server-code validation controls for full postback. This would require all of the validation rules to be written in javascript as well as C#. I don't care about the full failed postback at this point, because the javascript validation would catch real users who weren't trying to screw me over.
Is there alternative out there for using real CustomValidator controls, with partial postback, C# code only, for validating input without UpdatePanels and without a lot of redundant javascript?
I have a page with 5 buttons on top. I want the area below the buttons to contain an update panel that will display button 1's panel if they click button 1. If they click on Button 2, then I want button 2's update panel to replace the button 1 update panel. Each panel has stuff on it like check boxes and text boxes.
Is there a way to do this? Is there a more efficient way to do this?
i have 3 update panels on the same page with labels that are showing different countdown and i want then to run separate from each other. I've tried to use timer control that triggers each of them separatley with limitations in ontick event., the coutdowns are strating but after a few seconds are stoping and i don't know why.i'm not using scripts. I want to run like those on mafia wars on Facebook when something is done to start one contdown and something else other timer.
View 3 RepliesMy issues here is that this does not compile. I get "A control with ID 'LinkButtonRemove' could not be found for the trigger in UpdatePanel 'UpdatePanelFiles'." What I am trying to do is have two buttons in the item template. One that updates just the ITEM and one that updates the entire DataList. "LinkButtonRemove" is what I want to update the entire datalist. Any ideas on why this isnt working? Or how to do what I want to do?

--ITEM
---UPDATEPANEL2

I want one control to update the item updatepanel only and the other to update the entire datalist.

I realise that there are many posts on update panels and repeaters but none that quite solve my problem. I have a page with two Repeaters each inside seperate update panels. They sit next to each other one on the left and one on the right. The left repeater is filled from my database on my page load event. Im am storing the data in a List<> and then binding the list to the repeater. This works correctly and displays all my results. Each item in the left repeat has a button aswell. The button needs toremove the data from the left repeater and place it in the right repeater. I only want the database to be accessed in the Page_Load and then never again during the use of the page, until the data is saved (I have not got to this feature yet). So I have decided to use List<> objects.
View 6 RepliesI'm using two update panels, and in the Page_Load, I'm calling if (masterPageScriptManager.IsInAsyncPostBack).Is there a way to test where the update came from and only refresh the affected panel?
View 1 RepliesI have a page that display a record set inside an update panel. There are also a handfull of checkboxes/textboxes that allow filters to be placed. Each checkbox/textbox is set as an async trigger for the update panel and set to autopostback.
If a single checkbox is clicked the whole filter/render process takes roughly 1.5s.
If I check a filter and then several more before the intial postback is complete I get a postback time of somewhere between 20-50s depending how many boxes I've clicked.
I notice (via firebug) when I check a box that triggers an async postback and than another box the original async post back is aborted. And yet it seems like it still executes (or maybe locks?) something on the server.

i have created an user control with a text box and a list control inside ajax update panel to create a control like the google search text box which floods the values as the user types in.
its working fine too...now whats my problem is that when i am trying to use two user controls that i created in the same page. when i am running the page am able to use only the second user control. when i start typing in the first control the focus control is getting passed to the second one automatically and i am not able to type in anything in the first control.
what can be the reason? am using only one script manager for both. the update panel is inside the usercontrol.
