Databind A Property On A Custom User Control?
Nov 29, 2010
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?

Before I get to the question, let me give a bit of background. I'm trying to develop a custom caching mechanism that I can apply to custom built user controls. (Please be aware that I know that there are some built in caching mechanism in .NET) Depending on certain flags set declaratively in the mark-up the control should load a cached version of its previously rendered content or execute normally (and if certain flags are set it should generate a cache of its content for next time it loads). I would like to be able to pass certain flags declaratively in the mark-up and being able to check their value at Page Init and, depending on the flag value, determine whether the control should load a cached version or not.
<uc:MyUC ID="N1" runat="server"
CacheProp='<%# SomeEnum.A | SomeEnum.B |SomeEnum.C %>'
PropA='<%# this.SomePropA %>'
PropB='<%# (this.SomePropB %>'
PropC='<%# this.SomePropC %>'
/>
The problem that I'm facing is that as far as I'm aware I can only get the value of the properties declaratively assigned in the mark-up if I called the DataBind(). However I'm faced with two problems: Firstly calling this.DataBind() from within MyUC will trigger the binding of all its child controls which would defeat the purpose of the cache; also all user controls have been built so that they will not call DataBind() before the LoadComplete event has fired, so to make sure that the parent controls they live in has done its initialisation and has computed the properties that are declaratively passed to the child user control (ie PropA, PropB, PropC).And now the question: is there a way to bind the CacheProp property so to retrieve its value without data binding all other properties and without triggering the data binding of all its child controls?

I reference a user control in my ListView in this manner:
[Code]....
The problem is that the #Bind command doesn't update the database, but it does so when I paste the code directly into the aspx page (in other words, without the user control involved).

The built in Asp.Net Controls (label, Textbox, etc.) all have a CssClass property that can be set, what do I need to do to implement that for a Web User Control?
I know how to add a property and pass thru the get & set to the corresponding Asp.Net control (example if I have a label I know how to create a LabelCssClass property that provides a get & set, but the control itself how do I set a CssClass or ClassName property.

When i add this control to a page i set it's address with Address property. But it never sets it's address property like this :
[Code]....
When i try it like above, it always set address null. So it never goes to webpage that i want. It's result in the address bar always like this :
http://localhost:4533/TarihKoruma/?Date=12.05.2010 but i want it like this :
http://localhost:4533/TarihKoruma/Events.aspx?Date=12.05.2010

I have a User Control (ascx) and a property which a want to display in my categories tab in Visual Studio in the category named "Styles".
[Code]....
And here is the problem: Actually I do not need a get, because I only have to set the property (write only property). But when I omit the get, the property is displayed in the "Misc" category in the categories tab in Visual Studio. Only when I code the get as well, then the property is displayed correctly in the "Styles" category in the categories tab in Visual Studio.
Does anybody know why? How can I display the category correctly only with set?

I've written a custom control that converts datasources into an IEnumerable and then binds the data. This works fine and I have LoadPostData working after postbacks. I can also using a collection to load it. Like adding listitems to a dropdownlist on an html page. This works fine and I have LoadPostData working after postbacks
[Category("Behavior"),
Description("A collection of CheckBoxItems"),
DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content),
NotifyParentProperty(true),
PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerDefaultProperty)]
public CheckBoxFieldCollection CheckBoxItems
{....}
Kinda struggling on merging the two. I think when i databind, instead of adding my CheckBoxItem to Controls I think I need to add it to my collection CheckBoxItems and then proced with creating childcontrols. It works the first pass through when I bind to the datasource. When I do a postback my controls collection goes to null. Can anyone point me in which direction to go? Also, after databinding, if I do , MyControl.CheckBoxItems.Add(new CheckBoxItem(..)), the new one doesnt show up.

I have a simple custom control that boils down to a label and a listbox. Selections in the listbox are reflected in the label as comma separated values. My question is what is the best and simplest way to make the page developers experience of working with the custom control exactly mimic the experience of working with just the listbox - when it comes to working with data. For some reason it feels wrong to simply create mirrored properties in the custom control and forward their values to the internal listbox. A small, perhaps unrelated complication is that the final product has to play nice with the forms collection due to the nature of the host application.

I created an Extender which has a custom property that drills down a list XML elements from an xml file, where users can select xml elements during design-time. This works perfectly fine. However, my code only has a hardcoded xml filename (source of the xml elements list) and I need to change this by maxing the xml file user-specified.
What I did is that I created another control (panel) which has a custom property that when clicked (through the ellipsis), it will allow a developer to select the xml file which is supposed to be the source xml file that the Extenders shall use. The filedialog from custom panel's property works perfectly fine.
However, my problem now is that when I drag-drop my Extender, I cannot find a way to get the property value of the custom Panel Control which contains the xml filename. I tried creating a static variable which I thought the custom controls can share but VS2010 is breaking.

I have a Custom Repeater control that inherits from Repeater and has paging functionality, however when I click the next page button the first time it refreshes the control but does not change the page, if I click it again after that it changes page perfectly. I know what the issue is, when I click the next button it does a postback, then the data is bound to the repeater, and then after that the NextButton Event is handled.
Is there any way I can change the order of the page load events?? Or force the repeater to reload again after the event is handled?? I've included my Custom Repeater class bellow:
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Data;
using System.Collections;
using System;
namespace ASPresentation.Controls
{
[ToolboxData("<cc:PagedRepeater runat=server></cc:PagedRepeater>")]
public class PagedRepeater : Repeater
{
public int PageSize { get; set; }
public int CurrentPageIndex
{
get
{
return Convert.ToInt16(Page.Session["ProjectIndex"]);
}
set
{
Page.Session.Add("ProjectIndex", value);
}
}
public PagedDataSource pagedData = new PagedDataSource();
LinkButton NextBtn = new LinkButton();
LinkButton PrevBtn = new LinkButton();
public bool IsLastPage
{
get
{
return pagedData.IsLastPage;
}
}
public bool IsFirstPage
{
get
{
return pagedData.IsFirstPage;
}
}
public override object DataSource
{
get
{
return base.DataSource;
}
set
{
pagedData.DataSource = (IEnumerable)value;
}
}
protected void NextButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsLastPage)
{
CurrentPageIndex++;
}
}
protected void PrevButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsFirstPage)
{
CurrentPageIndex--;
}
}
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
NextBtn.Text = "Next";
PrevBtn.Text = "Prev";
NextBtn.Click += new EventHandler(NextButtonClick);
PrevBtn.Click += new EventHandler(PrevButtonClick);
}
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
base.Controls.Add(PrevBtn);
base.Controls.Add(NextBtn);
}
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
base.Render(writer);
}
public override void DataBind()
{
pagedData.AllowPaging = true;
pagedData.PageSize = PageSize;
pagedData.CurrentPageIndex = CurrentPageIndex;
base.DataSource = pagedData;
base.DataBind();
}
}
}

I have a custom control, inherited from Button. This is the class definition for the control and 2 properties:
[Code]....
I show you 2 properties, only to illustrate the problem.
as you see Aplicacion property is of a custom type Sistema, and Roles property is of type List<UserRol>.
The Aplicacion property is rendered well, this way:
[Code]....
The problem I have is with List<UserRol>. I couldn't get it to be rendered. I expeect to be rendered this way:
[Code]....
Finally, this is the TypeConverter and Editor definitions for the list:
[Code]....
The UserRol class is a typical class, without any special attributes.
I have discovered that when I use the custom editor for Roles property, the collection is not persisted. When I use the default editor for the collection, the collection is persisted.

I need to create one custom text box control which should be bind with data base.
I am referring following link...

private TextBox nameTextBox;
public string DataTextField
{
get
{
object o = ViewState["DataTextField"];
return ((o == null) ? string.Empty : (string)o);

string s = (string)ViewState["Text"];
return (s == null) ? String.Empty : s;

set
{
ViewState["Text"] = value;
}
}
protected override void PerformDataBinding(IEnumerable retrievedData)
{
if (retrievedData == null)
return;
base.PerformDataBinding(retrievedData);
Controls.Clear();
nameTextBox = new TextBox { ID = "nameTextBox" };
foreach (object dataItem in retrievedData)
{
if (DataTextField.Length > 0)
{
nameTextBox.Text = DataBinder.GetPropertyValue(dataItem, DataTextField, null);
}
DataTexValue = nameTextBox.Text;

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.
