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'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 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 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.

I am trying to dynamically add a queryextender expression to the page. something like, when the user clicks a button, we need to add a OrderbyExpression. The following is the code used. It works when added in Page_Load but doesn't when added on a button click event. Upon button click the page just reloads and ignores the filter condition.
OrderByExpression obex = new OrderByExpression();
obex.DataField = "ProductName";
obex.Direction = SortDirection.Descending;
ThenBy tb = new ThenBy();
tb.DataField = "UnitsInStock";
tb.Direction = SortDirection.Ascending;
obex.ThenByExpressions.Add(tb);
this.q.Expressions.Add(obex);
where queryextender1 is the ID of the queryextender

LB1.Text = "AM";
LB1.ID ="Link1";

rr.Cells.Add(cc);
LB1.Click += new EventHandler(LB1_Click);
t.Rows.Add(rr);

I got a problem in adding a Dynamic Dropdown to the asp page.
Here is the description:
Im trying to create Dropdown dynamically based upon the values returned from the database.
For example,
if database returns three records like A,B,C(These are the values to be selected of the drop down)
I wrote a Method which will accept the
private void addDropDowns(int iPhyLoc,int iDdlCnt,string sAxnCd)
{
DropDownList ddlMitigtAxnCd = new DropDownList();
ddlMitigtAxnCd.ID = "ddlMitigtAxnCd" + iPhyLoc.ToString() + iDdlCnt.ToString();
ddlMitigtAxnCd.Items.AddRange(listMitigtAxnCd);
ddlMitigtAxnCd.SelectedIndex = ddlMitigtAxnCd.Items.IndexOf(ddlMitigtAxnCd.Items.FindByText(sAxnCd.Trim()));
ddlMitigtAxnCd.Attributes.Add("style", "font-family : Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"+"font-size : 10px;color : black;");
this.FindControl("PnlAxnCds" + iPhyLoc.ToString()).Controls.Add(ddlMitigtAxnCd);
}

Ok, so I'm adding linkbuttons to a page dynamically on page_load.I had it to where the link buttons were redirecting to a page with a query string attached. I was attempting to use the AjaxToolKit's AjaxFileUploader and ran into issues with existing query strings.
So what I'm trying to do now is handle the click event of the linkbutton server side, set 2 session variables and then redirect the page to the same page, but with out appending a querystring so the ajaxfileuploader will work correctly.Here is my linkbutton code:
vb Code:
Dim Lin As New LinkButton
Lin.Text = dr("DeptDesc").ToString
Lin.CssClass = "deptlink"
Lin.ToolTip = CDate(dr("MeetingDate").ToString).ToFileTime.ToString
'Lin.OnClientClick
[code]....
I know I have Lin.PostBackURL and Lin.setAttribute(...). It didn't work with just setAttribute and I saw a post online about someone setting the PostBackURL and it working...
I seem to be having problems with something that I thought would be simple
I have
[Code]....
[Code]....
and I get the error "object not set to an instance of an object" - I have moved it from prerender to load and tryed all sorts of things, but I get the same error.I am just trying to add a literal control to the masterpage from the masterpage code behind
I have the following code which adds a label and a gridview to an asp.net page:
GridView grd = CreateGridView(kvp.Key.Text);
Label l = new Label();
l.Text = "some text";
l.CssClass = "this has no effect";
placeHolderResults.Controls.Add(l);
placeHolderResults.Controls.Add(grd);
Two questions really:As the page will have a multiple and unknow quantity of Label + Grid pairs I'm looping through the above code, is this the best way to add the controls to the page?I cannot style the label? How do you do it? Looking at the HTML which is created, the label turns out to be a SPAN.
What I am trying to do here is I want to add the dynamically created labels in the Panel on the Webpage and not directly on the Webpage. My panel has scroll bars and thus when I scroll horizontally or vertically only the background moves whereas the labels are static to the page.
And some labels are even visible on the panel borders on scrollbars (some on the page outside the panel) which are suppose to be placed inside the Panel. So when I scroll either of the ways even the labels should move along with the background image.
So how can I make these labels stick to the Panel and not the Page? How do I do it?
I am creating Dynamic Checkboxlist controls and adding them to a Panel. It works well when I do

I have a usercontrol (ascx) that I want to dynamically add to a page.
Neither the control nor the page has a namespace (thanks crappy vendor).
When I use the following, it tells me it cant find the "type or namespace"
StayTunedControl = (UserControler_StayTuned)LoadControl("~/UserControler/StayTuned.ascx");
Page.Controls.Add(StayTunedControl);
StayTunedControl.StayTunedID = Convert.ToInt32(IncludesStayTunedMeta.Value);
After some tweaking to the namespaces, etc, I am now at a point where the 3rd line above generates the following error:
'System.Web.UI.UserControl' does not contain a definition for 'StayTunedID'
I was hoping that casting StayTunedControl as type (UserControler_StayTuned) would fix this.
My C# web app requires the user to enter automobile information. The user can add information for one auto, or more (max 20).
My page has these text fields: Car Number, Car Make, Car Year, Mileage, VIN I have a button that allows the user to "Add More Cars" is to allow the user to add more than one car.
When the user clicks "Add More Cars", how can I dynamically display the text boxes, and keep track of how many cars the user has added (in order to load them to an array and write to database)
I am adding text fields to a page from the database. I set the .ID to match the record ID from the database. Of course becasue the text field is on the masterpage, when I grab the .ClientID, it is ctl00 contentMain$ctl00. what I don't get is where is my ID? If I set it to say AB how do I find the textbox by AB? I thought it should have AB in the ID somewhere. ID is nothing which I don't get either. I'm looping through the controls in a placeholder like this
For Each row In dtData.Rows()
Dim c As Control
For Each c In phTextRequired.Controls
If c.UniqueID = row("CustomFieldID").ToString() Then
Again though what is in the row() is say AB but the id is way off from that.
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:
