I'm a new comer to the asp.net world. I hear a lot about asp.net mvc and it's advantage over webforms about the ability to customize the markup and css. I also heard that asp.net is much easier to learn than asp.net mvc so I decided to go for asp.net and webforms. My question is: what's the level of customization a web developer/designer can get with webforms concerning the markup and css?
View 4 Repliesis it possible to set a user defined timeout value on an asp.net website...i have a table that stores the time out value for each user of my website...i need to set the time out based on who logged in...i know that the default aspnet timeout setting is 20 mins of inactivity...is there any way i can circumvent this...and yes i do need to show a modal when the timeout expires and need to reset the timeout value if the user wants to continue the session or log them out if they choose not to continue...
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to figure out how to use the Routing features with ASP.net 4.0 WebForms. I added a route to my route collection:
void Application_Start()
{
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.MapPageRoute(
"about-route",
"about/",
"~/About.aspx"
);
}
In my master page I tried to do the following: <asp:HyperLink ID="asdf" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%= GetRouteUrl("about-route", new {}) %>'>Test</asdf> I got a compiler error: Server tags cannot contain <% ... %> constructs. What is the proper way to create a route URL in a server control in Web Forms? I also need to include it in the following:
<asp:Menu ID="NavigationMenu" runat="server" CssClass="menu" EnableViewState="false" IncludeStyleBlock="false" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Items>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="ROUTE HERE" Text="Home"/>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="ROUTE HERE" Text="About"/>
</Items>
</asp:Menu>
Two questions:
1: my requirement is absolutely weird. To add a dropdown in the existing toolbar of HTMLEditor of Ajaxtoolkit and that dropdown will be populated from the database. I am stucked with the issue ..
Or if its not possible
2: any way to display context menu inside the HTML editor and from context menu , i can choose item, and that item will get placed at the position from where context menu is called. Also that context menu will be able to display data from database. I hope you can under stand , first one is my issue and another one is its workaround..
I have a field in my SQL database that contains HTML markup from the HTMLEditor control in the AjaxControlToolkit. When I use the Report Viewer and SQL Reporting Services to display this field in a report, the field is displayed using the tags. I would either like to hide the tags completely or render them so that they format the text appropriately, rather than the tags be displayed as a load of <p>, <br>, <strong> tags etc. I've searched around and tried out a few different articles but haven't yet had any success.

i've to display a messagge in my homepage (default.aspx) different for each "installation" of my web app. i would like to avoid to make a call to database to show this message.. so i've thougth to use web.config to store something like this
<add key="WelcomeString" value="lorem ipsus <b>doloret sit amen</b>" />
But i've noticed i can't use html markup into web.config Is there a better approach ? Or is there a way to insert html markup into web.config ?
I have a Master Page as well as a standard Web Form aspx file. What if I wanted to dynamically modify the complete HTML markup in an aspx file (perhaps based on a conditional statement - perhaps in a specific content place holder), how would I go about doing this? Sorry I'm coming from a PHP background so this is why I'm asking such a simple question.
View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.NET site which uses a 3rd party activeX control. I have to pass a few parameters to the OBJECT tag in the HTML page. If i hardcode these parameters into the HTML everything works.
I would like to place the parameters in my web.config with app settings "key/value" pairs.
My problem is i cannot read the app key setting in the HTML markup to succesfully pass them in as parameters. I can read them fine from server side code behind.
What's the correct way to read these settings in the client side HTML markup ?
I have an asp.net page i do authentication and authorization of a user and user can make several ajax requests from this page. What i want to ensure is that the request only from this page so i will store some data(or token)(possibly a function of userID + user IP address + current time) encrypted in the page aswell as in the session so the requests that come with this token will only get served.
View 1 RepliesHi,
Everytime I view the source of ASP.NET website I found alot alot of HTML markup generated. I even tried Visual web Developer and design a simple page and then do the same thing with PHP and I found ASP.NET generates more HTML!
Now, how can ASP.NET be faster if it is generating HTML in this way!
below is a sample ow what i'm tring to do
[Code]....
what it should output is my enable image with the text on the right saying 'enable' if i only have Text='<img src="app_images/enable.png" />' i have the image, just a question of how to add the resource entry at the end of it...
Is it possible to access the html markup of programmatically created controls, and if so, how?
In c# you can write things like:
[code]...
I'm trying to add some basic HTML markup to my code-behind, just a H1 and a few breaks separating strings in the message.Body, but can't seem to get it going without errors.
[Code]....
Probably a straightforward thing, or not intended usage at all,
I need some people to edit the ressource file without seeing html markup.
How can I do that .. ? I tried RESX edition but it doesn't hide the markup.
What is best practice for saving and displaying rich text?
Example: I want to store an article with links, different font styles and so on. What format should it be saved in?
How are people saving their "content".
I have the following call in my app:
...
var message = "<label style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; color: Gray;'>" + currentPlayerName + "</label>: ";
$.ajax({
url: "/Game/SendMessage",
type: "POST",
[Code]....
When I call this function it always drops an error. I think there is a problem with the data that I want to send back to the server.
I need to render a few DropDownLists on my page, allowing the user to select different Categories & Locations so as to return different result sets based on their selection.
However, I want each of the resulting selections to be crawlable. I know I could just render every possible Category, Location etc as standard HTML links on the page, which perform a GET request to the specified URL, but if possible I'd like to contain all these options within a DropDownList to keep things less cluttered.
If I were using MVC I would consider wrapping that small section of the page in a GET form, with each ListItem value being the destination URL (though I wonder if even this approach would be properly crawlable?).
I am using Web Forms though and am just having trouble trying to come up with a solution.
Can i create html helpers in Webforms project like in asp.net mvc?
View 2 RepliesJust Wondering. Can we use Html Helpers/Repositary Pattern/Ninject in Webforms?
View 1 RepliesI am working on a page that has multiple sections and each section looks 'almost the same'. Having said that, I want to build the HTML on the server and render it for each section on the initial page load. On subsequent actions, I would do a ajax call and have the server return json data.
The other option is to 'hardcode' the HTML on the aspx page and have the JS do the necessary customizations for each section. The third option is to use an UpdatePanel and do everything server side.
Based on what should I be choosing what approach to use? What approach would you use for a page like this (think of it as a large page having sub sections on it)
Edit: One section has HTML such as user's name, and a table where users can add dependents. Another section is almost the same except its for a 'contractor' so there's additional HTML such as previous work history, but this one has name (readonly) and a table to add dependents just like the first one. Other sections have more or less the same HTML. A user can delete dependents as well, when that happens, I need to update the database and update the section to reflect one less dependent. I was hoping to make any subsequent actions as ajax calls that interact with the server and the database
I am trying to create a static HTML page which has a <form> which posts to a 3rd-party ASP.NET website.
Is this possible when the target website uses ASP.NET webforms?
I want to know how the server will process my page that contain:
1- ASP.NET markup mixed with HTML elements.
2- Code behinde.
Will it read the ASP.NET markup line by line and even HTML elements? And then reads the code behind? or what exactly?
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder2" Runat="Server">
<link href="Skins/CustomSkin/Editor.Default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
<telerik:RadEditor ToolbarMode="Default"
ID="editor1" runat="server" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" Skin="CustomSkin">
</telerik:RadEditor>
</asp:Content>
RADEditor on my page was inheriting Master Page's CSS properties so followed this tutorial to create custom skin..now what I did was...I simply copied the Folder named "Default" under Skins folder and renamed it to "CustomSkin" and added it like in the code above ..thot it would work but it didn't coz now I don't see border on my RADEditor...why is that ? Also it is STILL inheriting properties from Master page's CSS file :(
I didn't change name of any of the CSS files inside "CustomSkin" folder...Also when I added the following inside "telerik:RadEditor"...still problem persisting..
<CssFiles>
<telerik:EditorCssFile Value="~/Skins/CustomSkin/Editor.Default.css" />
<telerik:EditorCssFile Value="~/Skins/CustomSkin/Window.Default.css" />
<telerik:EditorCssFile Value="~/Skins/CustomSkin/ToolBar.Default.css" />
</CssFiles>
