View 2 RepliesI have to hide the VIEWSTATE and EVENTVALIDATION hidden fields on my ASP.net page at RUN time.I managed to remove the EVENTVALIDATION like so.............
<%@ Page enableEventValidation="false" EnableViewState="false" %>
But the VIEWSTATE is still there and I cant get rid of it and I need to. (hard to explain why)Is there another way of getting rid of it?
What is difference between ViewState and Hidden Field in ASP.Net. If possible with an example.
View 1 Repliesi am facing the following problem while saving the viewstate on the server side using the savepagestatetopersistencemedium, but this is not working for the pages which contains update panel.
View 2 RepliesI have a custom user control which contains a asp hiddenfield object. The value of this hidden field is being set using javascript and I have verified that the value is being set properly. When a postback occurs the new value is not being saved and I cannot access it in my code.
I believe the problem is because the user control is not saved in viewstate and therefore the hidden field value is not saved accross postback. How can I make the hidden field save its value? I tried accessing it from the early page cycles and still no luck.
I have Gridview like this:
<asp:GridView ID="gvPartsSearchResult" runat ="server" CssClass="MRJ_TextGrid">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Select">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:RadioButton
ID="rdButton"
runat="server"
AutoPostBack ="true"
onclick="javascript:CheckOtherIsCheckedByGVIDMore()"/>
<asp:HiddenField
ID="hdnFileExtension"
runat="server"
Value ='<%#Bind("FILE_EXTENSION")%>'/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I want to read the hidden field value when the user clicks on the radio button.
I have a shopping cart page (Cart.aspx) that has a button that will (sometimes) post to a third party payment gateway, if payment is necessary. The payment gateway will process the payment and then do a silent post to my website (Order.aspx) so I can update the order status.
Order.aspx always throws an invalid viewstate error, even though viewstate is disabled on the page.
What's happening is that Cart.aspx (which has viewstate enabled) posts to the payment gateway, and the gateway will post it back as part of the silent post. Even though Order.aspx has viewstate disabled and validation disabled, it still tries to validate the __viewstate field it's being given.
I know setting EnableViewState=false will disable the rendering of the __viewstate field, but if another page provides the field, shouldn't it still skip validation? I tried calling ViewState.Clear() on the Page_Init event of Order.aspx, but ViewState is apparently empty. how to get around this? I don't want to disable ViewState on Cart.aspx (in some cases it may be necessary), but I can't figure out how to clear it on Order.aspx.
If I create a new project, start this project and look at the source code, I see that there are some additions to the original code. The first this, what is "ViewState" and what does the hash mean? Why is the input control hidden?Here an example:

View 3 Replieshow am I be able to assign a value to my hidden field control? I have this web service that returns member's ID and name (e.g. 0001-John dela Vega). In order for me to search for a member, I'm using an autocomplete extender, now, if in case that I found the member I'd like to assign its member id to a hidden field. I ask this because I'd like to change the way my web service return data so instead of displaying the member's id and name at the same, I'll just show its member name.

I have a hiddenfield, which I want to save the scroll position of asp.panel scrollbar during postback, and when during postback this value is called back to set the scroll position.
Using javascript I can grab the value from the scrollbar, and assign it to the hidden field, but when I post the page back the value has gone.
Here is my code snippet:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function SetScroll(val) {
[code].....Am I missing something? How do I keep the value during post back?
you save data into a dynamic hidden field ,which is created dynamically during the handling of some postback event.what is the best way to retrieve it from this field upon a postback, (besides searching the request for the key of this hidden field and then retrieving the corresponding value as in the code below)?
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool found = false;
for (int i=0; i<this.Request.Form.Keys.Count; i++)

I have a form in MVC3 that includes a check box to copy data if it is the same as a previous form. If the checkbox is checked, it populates the text box with the content from the hidden field. Here's a sample to illustrate what I'm doing:
[Code]....
When the box is checked, it calls FillInfo(), which uses DHTML to fill the TextBox called "ThisInfo" with the value of the hidden field "DefaultInfo."
Here's the problem: if the form fails validation (e.g. "ThisInfo" is a required field and is left blank), the hidden "DefaultInfo" box is getting cleared out -- which I DON'T want it to do. As a result, when the checkbox is clicked, it is copying empty data into the "ThisInfo" field.
I have a problem
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
I inherited some JavaScript that I was told to integrate into our ASP.NET site. I thought this would be straightforward but it's turning out to be a bit of a challenge.
The code looks something like this:
<SELECT id="Question1" name="Question" onchange="updateQuestion();">
<OPTION value="notChosen">--Please Select One--</OPTION>
<OPTION value="in">India</OPTION>
<OPTION value="de">Germany</OPTION>
<OPTION value="fr">France</OPTION>
<OPTION value="us">United States</OPTION>
<OPTION value="ch">Switzerland</OPTION>
</SELECT>
The goal is to get the value from this HTML control into ASP.NET, however this control itself is being dynamically generated by another chunk of javascript, so I can't just change this to an asp.net control. My solution was to add the onchange="updateQuestion();" method, this JS will take these SELECT tags and place the values into an ASP.NET control:
function updateSecQ() {
var sQuestion = document.getElementById('<%=sQuestion.ClientID%>');
sQuestion.Value = "";
var questions = document.getElementsByName('Question');
for (question in questions) {
if (questions[question].value != null)
sQuestion.Value += questions[question].value + ",";
}
alert(sQuestion.Value);
}
As you can see, that's looking to update an ASP.NET control:
<asp:HiddenField ID="sQuestion" runat="server" value="" />
This appears to all work, however when I goto the server side on the form submit I see that sQuestion.Value is still = "".
I have a component that determines a value on a postback event.
protected void Button_Click(object s, EventArgs e)
{
HiddenField.Value = 5;
}
There's more involved in the value of course, but HiddenField is an asp:HiddenField control with runat=server set. I have in my javascript:
var id = $("#<%= HiddenField.ClientID %>").val();
The code in the javascript is set to be run only after the postback has occured (a different client click event) for the purpose of passing the hidden field value via QueryString to another URL (since i can't do a response redirect on postbacks and the client wants it in a different page anyway).
I tried adding:
ScriptManager.RegisterHiddenField(HiddenField, "Value", string.Empty);
To a !Page.IsPostback section of code, but the ID is still not set when the javascript is run.
im trying this format:
$("#<%= hfWidth.UniqueID %>").val($("#drag").attr("offsetWidth"));
to fill the hidden field with client-side values
but when I do postback, the values doesn't seem to be saved.
I have stored a string value in a hidden field of a page. How to access it from a different webpage?

(using Ajax in the backhand) I am trying to set a value for a hidden field, when an id is changed. I am getting object reference not set error.
As of know i return the string value through callback and got it done in the front-hand.
Is there anyway that i can set the value in the code-behind when using Ajax methods.
I am trying to set the value of a hidden field onblur. I add the blur attribute programatically on page load. When the user moves off the control the blur event fires the following javascript.
