Pages Both Forms And MVC Dynamically Compiled?

Feb 17, 2011

There is a pattern in ASP.NET - whenever there is a piece of markup that generates code (like the .aspx/.ascx files in WebForms or .cshtml files in MVC3), these files are dynamically compiled at runtime. aspnet_compiler will produce another assembly for them, which references your code-behind assembly. This approach seems awkward to me and I don't understand why it hasn't been discontinued already. A much better approach (in my opinion) is like in Winforms or resource files - you have your .whatever file, and then there is .whatever.desginer.cs file. This designer file is created at runtime as you type. When you compile, the compiler doesn't care about your .whatever file, it just takes the .whatever.designer.cs file and produces a single solid assembly. This provides several benefits:

You can inherit your forms from each other, similar to windows forms;
You can always see the code that is being generated, possibly adjusting your markup to generate better code;
You can easily instantiate strongly typed instances of your forms;

The only benefit I can see from dynamic compilation is that You can change the markup file anytime and don't need to recompile the app.To be honest, I've often wanted for one of the first three benefits, but never for the last one. Recompiling the app to see your changes isn't that big of a deal. Especially since you have to do it anyway when working with code-behind, where the most of your time will be. And when you deliver your app to the client, you deliver it as a monolithic, precompiled block. When you update, you update everything, not just individual .aspx files - there's no point to. why is it like this? What am I missing?

Compiler Error Type Exists In Two Dynamically Compiled DLLs?

Jun 22, 2010

I've just gone thru a large-ish project and renamed A LOT of namespace directives. Everything works fine on my developer box - deploy it to stage and I get:

Compiler Error Message: CS0433: The type 'ASP.usercontrols_pageheader_ascx' exists in both
'c:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files
oot89252a5f7305b927App_Web_hodsbmv3.dll' and '
c:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files
oot89252a5f7305b927App_Web_pageheader.ascx.6bb32623.bs4iljip.dll'

Yuck. Very similar to this: Deployment Project dlls cause 'type x exists in both' errors, but must be coming from a different cause.

I have none of the problems I've seen mentioned in other articles (App_Code / CodeFile directive). Worked out why it works on my machine: the website has no problem when it is in a vdir. If I remove the "PageHeader" usercontrol from the masterpage it lives on everthing is fine. If I rename "PageHeader" everything is fine. Updated: renaming the usercontrol doesn't help.

I'd had a look at the assemblies mentioned in the error in reflector; App_Web_hodsbmv3.dll contains dynamic classes for all the usercontrols in my project. App_Web_pageheader.ascx.6bb32623.bs4iljip.dll' contains the same code just for the PageHeader usercontrol. Why would ASPX decide to create the same class in two assemblies?

C# - Possible With ASP.NET Master Pages To Create Content Pages Dynamically?

Jan 22, 2010

Is it possible with ASP.NET Master Pages to create content pages dynamically?That is, I know we can create content dynamically, but the content pages themselves,can those be created programmatically? I want to give my users the ability to define new content pages (i.e. Categories: Sofas, Tables, Lamps, and add/delete as they see fit) through a management panel. The resulting content pages should have proper URL naming, so that they index properly.An example: http://www.example.com/products/Lamps/contentpage.aspx.Is there a demonstration of this somewhere I can view?

Web Forms :: Pagination - Dynamically Generating Buttons According To Number Of Pages

Aug 2, 2012

My application I am using pagination.Using pagination i bind the records with listview control.

I generate the buttons dynamically according to the number of pages which is calculated from number of records returned from dataSource.when i click on a dynamically generated button its corresponding event handlers methods should get evaluated.Since asp.net page is stateless I can't keep the state of that dynamic controls after any postback.

Just Now I have seen the Article "How to get the Id of Control that cause postback in asp.net?". I got some idea from that article. Any example for "Creating link buttons dynamically and handling its corresponding event handler in Asp.Net".

C# Dynamically Changing Master Pages

Sep 11, 2010

You fetch the user's IP address and based on his/her country you redirect the user to a specific webpage. Now, how do you change the master page dynamically? This is how I am redirecting the user :-

Geolocation Error with IP Address 127.0.0.1

It's not like the user clicks some button or something and you then change the master page. I want it changed when the user is redirected, so how exactly do I go about it?

public partial class testClass: System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (redirected to site1)
{
Use this master page1
}
else
if (redirected to site2)
{
Use this master page2
}
}
}

So how do I check what SITE the user has been redirected to? Also HOW to apply the specific master page now that the user has been redirected?

I just need an idea how to go about it.

[EDIT] please check the code block below. How do I fetch the URL that the user has been redirected to? I actually need just the "iso3166TwoLetterCode" variable's value (see the link to my earlier question, please) and based on that will be changing the master page. I can't figure out how to fetch that value or even use that class (that's got this variable) in my testClass.

protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (user Has been redirected to www.site.in )
{
this.MasterPageFile = "master1.master";
}
if (user Has been redirected to www.site.fr )
{
this.MasterPageFile = "master2.master";
}
}

Master Pages Host A Dynamically Generated Menu

Nov 18, 2010

There's a master page that is used by all the pages in the app. This master page hosts a dynamically generated menu. Opening of pages etc. is almost always handled through Response.Redirect(). Here's the catch:

I login to the app and it shows me a default page, with the master page at the top. So the Page_Load() fires for the master page. So far good. Now I go through the menu and select an item. Clicking the menu triggers a postback where the Page_Load() of the master page is called again. After that the Page_Load() of the desired content page is fired, and then the Page_Load() of the Master page is fired yet again! So each time I click a menu item, the master page is loaded twice!

Web Forms :: Code In An .aspx File That Has Literally Been Commented Out Is Being Compiled Anyway...Why?

Oct 22, 2010

.aspx file that I would have never even thought to look. It was occuring because of a control(ListView I believe) that had been "completely" commented out using the <!-- --> tags. The text was all green which gave me the re-assuring feeling that this code would not be included in the website. I finally decided to search my entire .aspx page for any occurences of the variable it kept insisting couldn't be "databound" and sure enough it was inside a template of a ListView control that was commented out.
