I'm listing some controls at my web page dynamically, either I'm adding newline with Label's.
Label newLine = new Label();newLine.Text = "<br/>"; myPanel.Controls.Add(newLine);
How can I do it in a different way?
I am adding controls dynamically in my webpage.
I add them in onload method.
everything is working fine..
But I m a bit confused about how it works..
I have read in so many articles that all controls get their values from viewstate before load event. Then how my dynamically added controls get their values when i am adding them in OnLoad event ie after LoadPostData event.
I have a page with a dynamically created command button. I need to dynamically wire up a click event so I can grab the CommandArgument of the clicked button.
Button b = new Button();
b.ID = "btnTrigger2";
b.CssClass = "hiddenBtn";
b.CommandName = "lbl3";
b.Click += new EventHandler(btnTrigger_Click);
The problem is the last line - I can't wire up an EventHandler this way - I need to use the standard EventArgs instead of CommandEventArgs. There's got to be a way.
EDIT
Figured I'd post the code that finally worked in case anyone else tries to do the same thing.
string tabLoadedScript = string.Empty;
string postBackScript = string.Empty;
string script = " <script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>" + System.Environment.NewLine;
script += "function clientActiveTabChanged(sender, args) {" + System.Environment.NewLine;
int i = 0;
foreach(TabPanel tp in tc1.Tabs)
{
Button b = new Button();
b.ID = "btn" + tp.ClientID;
b.CssClass = "hiddenBtn";
b.CommandName = tp.ID;
b.Command += btnTrigger_Click;
this.form1.Controls.Add(b);
AsyncPostBackTrigger trg = new AsyncPostBackTrigger();
trg.ControlID = "btn" + tp.ClientID;
tabLoadedScript += "var isTab" + tp.ClientID + "loaded=$get('" + tp.Controls[0].ClientID + "');" + System.Environment.NewLine;
postBackScript += "if(!isTab" + tp.ClientID + "loaded && sender.get_activeTabIndex() == " + i + ") {" + System.Environment.NewLine;
postBackScript += "__doPostBack('" + b.ClientID + "','');}" + System.Environment.NewLine;
i++;
}
script += tabLoadedScript;
script += postBackScript;
script += "}" + System.Environment.NewLine;
script += "</script>";
this.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "cs", script, false);
protected void btnTrigger_Click(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2500);
Panel ctrl = (Panel) FindControlRecursive(this, "pnl" + e.CommandName);
ctrl.Visible = true;
}
public static Control FindControlRecursive(Control Root, string Id)
{
if(Root.ID == Id)
return Root;
foreach(Control Ctl in Root.Controls)
{
Control FoundCtl = FindControlRecursive(Ctl, Id);
if(FoundCtl != null)
return FoundCtl;
}
return null;
}
I have a dynamic Table which contain 8 rows and 8 Colums
Table t = new Table();
TableRow rr = new TableRow();
TableCell cc = new TableCell();
and in the each Cell CC I add a dynamic Button(Or Linkbtn)
LinkButton LB1 = new LinkButton();
LB1.Text = "AM";
LB1.ID ="Link1";
cc.Controls.Add(LB1);
rr.Cells.Add(cc);
LB1.Click += new EventHandler(LB1_Click);
t.Rows.Add(rr);
i have a table with 8 rows , 8 colums and each cell contain a LinkButton (which diffrent in IDs) I want to add Lable in the same cell of this LinkBtn(LB1) which it clicked but I cann't What shoud I write here?
void LB1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// throw new NotImplementedException();
}
I have a page I need to build out where depending on the selection the user made on a form on the page prior it displays a different set of questions for them to answer.
So say the user selects Reason A from the form on page edit, then it needs to display Questions 1 and 2 on page edit_confirmation. But if they select Reason B then it needs to display Questions 3 and 4.
I'm grabbing the reason code from the query string and have a switch statement set up, but I can't find anywhere how to output different controls. If Questions 1 and 2 are supposed to show up, one could be a text box and the other a checkbox, but if questions 3 and 4 are supposed to show up one may need to be a dropdown list and a checkbox.
EDIT: I'm going to try some of the below suggestions and will be back to mark the answer and upvote accordingly. Thank you all for the quick response.
EDIT EDIT: Both rlb.usa and AndrewVos's answers worked equally well. I went with Andrew's since it seemed like the more "proper" way of doing it.
So am adding fields in the code behind and now want to add required field validators. Kicker, I think comes into play becasue all this is in a master page. So even though I may set the id of the textbox to say tb4, it's no longer tb4. So when I add the required field validator and tell it the control to validate is tb4, I get the yellow screen of death telling me thtat tb4 does not exist... cause it's the long huge master page ID. What do I do?
View 13 RepliesI want to add more controls to page based on some specific conditions. Those controls don't need any ViewState or binding data, it is as simple as a static link. I wonder where I could write the code: inside OnLoad or OnInit method? and why? If I place it inside OnLoad, should I add following line: if (IsPostBack) return; before any initialization code?
View 4 RepliesI have a panel with two static buttons. A "Ok" button and a "Cancel" button". Depending on ther client actions, one or more controls will be added to the panel. Is there a way I can add the dynamic controls above the static ones?
View 2 RepliesThere are two fields and a button :
1)text box for the caption.
2)drop down list to select the control to be added.
3)button is an ADD button .
when the "ADD" button is clicked the text entered in the "caption" text box has to appear in the first cell of the first row in the table and the control selected from the dropdown list has to be added to the second cell of the same row. similarly many such captions and controls have to be dynamically addded to the successive rows of the table as per user selection ( note: the previously selected control and caption label must persist on furthur selections .
how do i go about the adding controls and the text into the table part ?
here is the requirement:
i have a lable a textbox, and two buttons(+ and - button) on my asp.net page.
so when i click on the plus button it should add the the whole collection of controls to the page(i.e. lable, textbox and two buttons). And when i click on minus button it should remove the collection.
This should go on.meaning whenever i click on any plus button the control collection should get added to the page.
I am wondering what will be the best approach to do it.
I've got an image URL in a gridView which retrieves the name of a file, but I need to add some text to the start and end of the value returned. This is the code so far:
[Code]....
The image URL renders as 'filename.png', but I need to add 'about-us/images/' before it.
I have what is probably a basic question but I do not understand if/why there is a difference. I have a simple asp.net page with a staticly created DropDownList and Panel control. The user can select one of three options if the drop down (Employee, Company, Address) which should load the respective custom UserControl into the panel below. By default, I have the Employee control selected in the drop down and it should be displayed on the intial Page Load (!Page.IsPostBack).
If I do the following it performs the desired behavior on the intial load:
[Code]....
If I try the following, the User Control does not appear on the initial page load:
[Code]....
I noticed if I do it with a textbox instead of a UserControl, it works however:
[Code]....
I assume there is some sort of behavioral difference in the way the loading is done between a UserControl and WebControl.
I have a Gridview on my aspx page. On my page_load event I check for a record in the database, if the record exists for that row in the gridview I would like to add a new column in the same gridview and add a button control to it. This adding of new column in the Gridview should happen in the codebehind (c#). see the code I wrote for this, but when I run it, it does not create any column on the gridview page.

i have read and used this script.Adding Dynamic Rows in ASP.Net GridView Control with TextBoxes..it is very usful to me but i want to fetch data from sqll database and fill the newest row with it. the past row data hav to be remain same. becoz of the same name of textbox it happens. whenever i try to fetch data from database and fill textbox all rows get updated with the same data.
View 1 RepliesI have one table control "table1"
And added controls to it in click event of one button as :
[Code]....
but i cant retrieve this controls in click event of another button. i think it is because of postback.
I am new to ASP.NET And I am have THE hardest time understanding how to work with forms in ASP.NET. Here's what I am doing:
Dynamically add User Controls to a PlaceHolder based on some int value (which currently is passed in a HiddenField).Fire an event if the WebControls inside of the User Control change, then handle that event in the Main Page (i.e. save the input to DB)When the user clicks the "Next/Continue" button, the next controls for the next page are loaded. And I guess maybe I just can't seem to get how things work in ASP.NET, because I am really struggling with the general idea of how ASP.NET flows.
Should I be dynamically loading the controls in Page_Init, or Page_Load? Or should I load the controls when the buttonclick event is fired?Do I have to add the axCtrl.OnDataChange += new EventHandler(HandleAxControlDataChange); line on Page_Load? Or should I put this in When I first load the UserControl, I need to initialize some WebControls within the UserContorl. Is there a way to know if I have loaded new user controls into my placeholder? I can't use Page.IsPostback, because after the first page, every page is a postback from the buttonclick.
Here's what I have:

Here's the markup from my ASPX file...
[Code]....
I have a web page where users need to enter customer contact information. They could enter from 0 to an infinite number of contacts.
I created this page code on page:
<ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager runat="Server" EnablePartialRendering="true" ID="ScriptManager1" />
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="phCustomerContacts" runat="server" EnableViewState="true">/asp:PlaceHolder>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnAddContact" runat="server" OnClick="btnAddContact_Click" CssClass="LinkButton" Text="Add Contact"/>
In my code behind I added this:
public void btnAddContact_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IList<CustomerContactProfile> customerContacts = new List<CustomerContactProfile>();
if (ViewState["CustomerContactList"] != null)
customerContacts = (List<CustomerContactProfile>)ViewState["CustomerContactList"];
CustomerContactProfile contactProfile = (CustomerContactProfile)LoadControl("~/Controls/Embedded/CustomerContactProfile.ascx");
customerContacts.Add(contactProfile);
foreach (CustomerContactProfile contact in customerContacts)
phCustomerContacts.Controls.Add(contact);
ViewState["CustomerContactList"] = customerContacts;
}
This code doesn't work because the ViewState can't handle storing all of that control data. However, I cannot think of another way to store the controls that were already added.
The viewstate of the asp:PlaceHolder control doesn't save anything and I need the controls to be saved so that if a user puts in some data to the first control that the data isn't lost when they add a second one and so on.
I have a dropdown list on my homepage which users select a category. After selecting the category, user will fill a form which has related controls to that category in it.
As I have many categories, I just want to have single ascx page and adding controls to it dynamically according to the user choice.
For example: One chose Telephone category, he will face a form having drop down lists asking, what brand? what color? And one chose, book category, he will face drop down lists asking which type? howmany pages?
So 1 ascx must do my work at runtime done as I have alot of categories.
I am going to take these criterias from a database table which has CategoryID and Criteria colomns.
And if I can do that, will it be possible to add field validators to these dynamically created controls.
I am loading a series of controls in the Page_Load event. However, I have to recreate those controls each page load, which means storing their data elsewhere. This is cumbersome.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyControl control = (MyControl)LoadControl(...);
control.Initialize(GlobalClass.controlData);
//^gives the control the data it had previously.
//Or use ViewState["controlData"] if serializable.
Controls.Add(control);
}
I feel like I should be using if (!IsPostBack) {}, but I don't know how, or why. In contrast, if I place the controls into the markup, then the controls seem to stay persistent. For example, a button in mark-up will remember any changes to its Text property (I think?).
<asp:Button ID="buttonText" runat="server"
Text="Text Segment" onclick="buttonText_Click" />
How do I maintain some sort of persistence with dynamically added controls, like controls added via mark-up? This would save me much work and frustration.
(I've coded for a small eternity, but the more I do ASP.NET, the more confused I become. Which is exactly the opposite of what how I understood learning to work :-P.)
I'm trying to add an DropDownList to a DetailsView by code, because i'm writing a solution that let's the user select an table and view your records and edit them, some of theese tables, have a foreign key column and the user must have to select some item in the list.
Below is my sample code:
[Code]....
the code above is working correctly, when the user click in the buttons New or Edit , the DetailsView opens correctly, showing the DropDownlist, but when the user click in the buttons update or insert , an error occurs, the viewState cannot be loaded:
Failed to load viewstate. The control tree which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when controls are added dynamically, the controls added during a post must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request.
Dim AlterTable As String = "alter table [Upload] add [Country] nvarchar (50) default 0 NOT NULL,[Address] int default 0 NOT NULL"

Dim cmdUpdating1 As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(AlterTable, connection)

connection.Open()
cmdUpdating1.ExecuteNonQuery()
connection.Close()
This is the code which I am using for altering the number of columns in a table in the DB. so with this code i am able to add new coulmns dynamically. Now my major requirement in this is to obtain the headercount from the user( say "telephone number" and "language") and based on it generate the columns dynamically in the table in the DB.
I have a Data Repeater to which I need to add x number of images depending on their existence in the database.
I need the images added within hyperlinks for Javascript functionality. In order to dynamically add the hyperlinks and images I have placed them within a panel in the data repeater and am adding them in the ItemDataBound event.
The problem is that only the first image is being written to the datarepeater.

Is there a way to add asp.net server side control dynamically on the webpage without causing postback. Like can I add a calender control dynamically on a button click and handle calender events to do some other work....
View 1 RepliesI am using jquery ajax method to get data from a web method and present data using DOM(similar to that of google search results).B'coz the data returned from the web method is huge I want to paginate the results.For that I need to create buttons corresponding to the page numbers based on the no. of records the web method retrieves from the database.So I have taken a div on the page.In the web method ,as soon as I can find the number of records obtained from the database,I want to create the buttons and add to this div and display 10 records per page.As far as I know, it is not possible to access anything that is placed on the asp.net page from Web method.In that case how do I paginate the results?
View 2 RepliesI am dynamically adding controls to a page with an updatepanel. The controls do trigger a post back but their events do not fire.
For example:
LinkButton link =
new
LinkButton();
link.Height = 45;
link.Width = 250;
link.Font.Underline =
link.Font.Bold =
link.ValidationGroup = "NoValidation";
link.Click += new
EventHandler(EventDoesNotFire);
I have set a break point on the Load_Page and in the EventDoesNotFire method. The Load_Page fires, but it never enters the EverDoesNotFire method.
