I have content that I want to load dynamically, the problem is it has some html formatting in it. What control should i pull the text into, is there a way to pull the text into a div or a label, along with the formatting?
View 1 RepliesI want to put some kind of text editor on my website which allows the user to manipulate the formatting of text. I would also like it to be possible for a user to copy/paste text from an existing webpage and it keep the formatting i.e. markup tags, font weight, bullet points. I just dont know hoe to go about this but the information must be there as when you copy from a web page into ms Word it keeps the format.
View 8 RepliesUPDATE 2:
In this section, I am trying to manually add in tabs and line spaces so the string is formatted when displayed via the pre tag. But this does not work.
objStringBuilder.Append("<div>" & Environment.NewLine)
objStringBuilder.Append(vbTab & "<div>some text</div>" & Environment.NewLine)
objStringBuilder.Append("</div>" & Environment.NewLine)
Return "<pre>" & Server.HtmlEncode(objStringBuilder.ToString) & "</pre>"
UPDATE 1:
I have tried the following, but it does not work:
return "<pre>" & Server.HtmlEncode("<div><div>some text</div></div>") & "</pre>"
I want it to display something like this
<div>
<div>some text</div>
</div>
But it's diplaying like this, which is expected:
<div><div>some text</div></div>
I don't know how to get spaces, tabs, carriage returns into that string which are recognizable by the pre tag, as environment.newline and/or vbtab make no difference.
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Is it possible to display HTML as text on your page in a formatted manner? For example, it should contain white spaces, tabs etc etc for readability purposes:
From another question, I have learned how to display HTML as text as follows:
Server.HtmlEncode("<div>Some text</div>");
My user filled a textbox with a text that was copied from Microsoft Word. This is a part of the text .
This system is - AUTOMATIC - and it is restricted
Look the symbols before and after the word AUTOMATIC. When I try to write this on a dynamically generated html page using the code bellow, i got this on the screen:
This system is â€" AUTOMATIC â€" and it is restricted
Code used to print the SQL Field:
[Code]....
The - symbol is not a minus symbol, but is a Word minus (-) symbol...
I am using C#.NET and ASP.NET
I'm using ASP .NET C# 3.5. I have a multiline textbox on my web form that allows for the input of up to 5,000 characters from the end-user. This text is a basic description of a training course. I need to display it out in a clearly formatted way. For example, I need there to be bullets and bold text.
What I did was I chose certain (not often used) characters and then used the .Replace method when displaying the text in an <asp:Label>. If the text in the database contains the character '~' then I replace that with a line break <br />. If it contains '`' I replace that with <b> and if it contains '^' I replace that with </b>.
Is there a better way of doing this? It is working properly, and I'm displaying the text properly, but I know the end-user is going to hate typing text like this for formatting. I do want this all to stay database driven as well
How i can pull data from excel sheet into my webpage
i have an excel sheet on which some data is there. i want to display my data into my webpage how i do this
So I'm passing data from Form1 to Form2. The data that gets passed to Form2 populates a textbox. I would also like for an image to show up based on what shows up in the textbox.
For example, I passed the name "Chicago Bulls" to txtteam. I want seatingchart.jpg to show up once it recognizes "Chicago Bulls". Here's the code I started under page_load to get it started.

I want the user to click the link then the window pops up, but I want the data inside the window to be pulled from a database, and I need to repeat this process for 5 links that are also pulled out of a database. Say the most popular items for the month. My question is how would this be best accomplished? Jquery, or AJAX. I am just trying to see which would be the easier way to go about coding this with .net and C#.

I have been banging my head against this problem for a bit and I think I am stuck. I would like to pull data from a Database to populate a list of possible "clients" to select from on one side. Then using what has been clicked load the client specific data into a tab container on the opposite side. I plan on doing lazy tab loading so I am not sure if that matters. I am really stuck and any help or guidance anyone could give would be greatly appreciated! I understand the basics of data loading and of tab containers, but i am unsure of what to do. I am coding this in C#. Example Mock Interface This is where the data list would be and I want to be able to select something here And update the Tab Panel control here based on the selection from the left side via querying the database.

View 2 RepliesOn a test page, I successfully created a google map that pulls both marker and infoWindow information from an XML file. I did this just to get a feel for working with the API. It works fine. However, I do have a SQL database that has this information in it already. This database is updated behind the scenes regulary via a webservice.
I would like to try pulling the map information from my SQL database instead so I don't have to hand maintain the .xml file. The dabase alread has the lat/long information needed for markers. What is the easiest way for me to get that data from the SQL database? Is there a way to run a query and use the data, or will I need to run the query and somehow have it write/update my .xml file for me?
I need to pull the data from DB and fill the view model, is there any better way to do this? Currently I'm doing something like this.

{

I insert into asp.net mvc views C# logic that manages layout like the following:
[code]....
I try to minimize <% %> code placing "{" symbol on the same line as it's condition (java-style). Html layout looks more clear to me after that.
Do you apply C# formatting rules to <% %> html injections "}" should be on a new line or manage layout in different way?
I am currently writing a small templating system in ASP.NET to allow users to add content. For example, the user can enter the string (variable type is string).
topHeader[x] = "They think it's all over. It is now!";
However, one change that's needed is the ability to add some basic HTML tags within this content, so the following can be done
topHeader[x] = "They think it's all over. <strong>It is now!</strong>" or
topHeader[x] = "They think it's all over. <a title="Football News" href="URL">It is now!</a>";
If you add such things into strings now they are not formatted as HTML, but I want to somehow escape them so that they can be. Naturally I've looked on the Internet for the answer, but as Razor is fairly new there's not much out there to help me out.
I've looked around and can't find a solution for this and it's driving me mad.I've got a basic MVC2 app (C#) and am trying to display text from a database with the line breaks included. I've used the following:
<p><label>Description:</label>
<span class="fieldBlock"><%: Model.Description.Replace(System.Environment.NewLine, "<br />") %></span>
</p>
This is adding the tags to the returned string as I'd expect but when the page renders it actually displays the tag as is instead of rendering the newline. ie. the text seen by the user in the browser is:"Quisque justo erat, iaculis sit amet aliquam eu, porttitor in mauris.<br /><br />Maecenas nisi velit, euismod at molestie vitae, malesuada id turpis. Mauris diam nisl, pretium id molestie nec, posuere posuere neque.<br /><br />Cras sed lectus nisl."
I have a asp.net page that generates a report. For better or for worse, the entire thing is generated using nested tables. I am able to export the page to excel, however I lose all my formatting (can't set column widths, etc). Is there a way to handle this? I'm open to adding any goofy MS Office -specific tags that are required to the html side of it.
If this isn't feasible and if anyone has any other ideas, the requirement is that users need a report that:
a) They can manually touch up with some personalization / area-specific data
b) Needs to be hide/show columns based on user's location
c) Needs to run from the web site.
I have this razor code ...
Code:
<ul>
<li>
@("hello <i>world</i>")
</li>
<li>
hello <i>world</i>
</li>
</ul>
When I run it the italic attribute works on the second item, but not on the first. I'm guessing it doesn't work because it's being passed as a literal string and the html formatting is lost.
How can this be made to work?
The reason I ask is because in my project, the text for the list item is stored in a database and I want the ability to include formatting for the item at the database level.
Code:
@Html.Raw("hello <i>world</i>")
However, I am not getting the result I need, so here is a bit more code....
Code:
@helper addNodes(dcNode As DocumentContent)
@<li id=@dcNode.Id>
@dcNode.nodeTitle <--This results in "White Papers - <i>New</i>"
@Html.Raw(dcNode.nodeTitle) <--The truncates the string at the tag and results in "White Papers -"
@If dcNode.children.Count > 0 Then
@For Each childNode As DocumentContent In dcNode.children.Values
@<ul id=@dcNode.nodeTitle>@addNodes(childNode)</ul>
Next
End If
</li>
End Helper
This is a recursive helper that populates node for a jsTree and works fine, but the inline html is not working. Here is what the result looks like.
The text for each li is shown twice because I am showing it once without and once with HTML.RAW. Notice the "White Paper" item... the second text is truncate at the <i> tag.Why is this and how can I fix it?
I have a calculation that takes place utilizing the TimeSpan.FromTicks method, the result is stored in a TimeSpan object. The calculation itself is working correctly, but I'd like to format the result a bit nicer than it is and I can't figure out how to format a TimeSpan.
The result from the TimeSpan is:
00:00:04.6153846
I'd like to remove any preceding zero's and round up to the second decimal place, such as:
4.62
Does anyone know how I might be able to accomplish this? I can't seem to find a .NET 'built in' solution.
