Templates - Templated Server Controls Difference Between UpdatePanel And Other Controls?
Jun 8, 2010
Using the advise given on this post...

... I was able to create a nice templated server control.
However, what I noticed is that on some templated controls such as the ASP.Net UpdatePanel you dont need to use FindControl to find the actual control inside your template. UpdatePanel has a template (or similar) and this just allows dirrect access to your controls without using the FindControl method that I have to use on the templated control I have created.
How do I make my control like the update panel where no template is needed?
I have a templated user control with single instance template attribute. It works great for everything except the following scenario:
[Code]....
The folder selector uses a tree view that allows people to select a folder, its FolderSelected event works perfectly and the file selector updates with the files. The file selector has a repeater that lists the files in the selected directory. It has a linkbutton for each of the files so that the user can select a file. The problem is that the ItemCommand event of the repeater doesn't fire when the file name is clicked on. The page performs the async postback like it should, but in debug, the method to handle the itemcommand event is never hit. On the same user control to select files there is a button that the user can add files to the folder. When it is clicked, the event DOES fire and the file is added and the control refreshes in the update panel, everything perfect. It seems that because the linkbutton is already in a templated control (which is in a user control, in a templated control), the event isn't firing correctly. I am confused as to why this should be a problem, especially since all the other events (even the custom ones) fire as long as they aren't in another templated control. Since the code is complicated, I didn't want to post it all here.
i am using two tables for salary components like bonus,hra,ta,da.one is salary lookup table for viewing which components are chosen and according to this salary table is created dynamically.i want to view data fields of salary table in gridview and update thier value.
now problem is that how to create template field and edit template field for updating fields of salary table because field of the salary table changing every time as it is creating dynamically.
I am trying to build a custom composite control, which allows me to add custom content to each child control. It's a similar concept to what you have with a GridView and TemplateColumn. The markup used to place the control on the page would end up being something like this:
[Code]....
I have the code below, which allows me to put that markup on the page without throwing any errors, and it renders all the correct HTML, except it doesn't render the contents of the ColumnTemplate. I have replaced the Render() code with a comment because it's quite long winded and doesn't add anything important here:
[Code]....
I have tried to follow examples on MSDN and other forums but I can't make this work. I think I'm missing the code to render the contents of the template, but I don't know how to hook that up.
I need a way to define a template that the control should render before each item..I currentky have the following code:
[Code]....
But Im kind of unsure about where to place the following code:
[Code]....
Since I whould like the template defined in the BeforeItemTemplate to always get added before the actual Item/<asp:MenuItem>..so I can add elements before and after each MenuItem..
I extended gridview control to add some new features and it is working fine. However, when i come to asp.net page and add the control declaratively, the templates of the parent control that is GridView are not visible.
I declare like following and then i cannot see all templates provided by GridVeiw itself such Columns, HeaderTemplate etc .
What is the best way to use jQuery Templates with GridView to achieve similar functionality of an UpdatePanel, such as add/edit/delete data without PostBack?
I want to read from database without using templated control like gridview, listview ...etc I am being able to read from db, but shows only the first row;
I have a gridview and one of the fields is a template field. The item template is a label and the edit template is a drop down box that all works lovely.in the Gridview1_RowUpdating event I would like to compare the original value for this template field with the new value (see if it goes from Pending to Approved). but I am struggling to find the old value for this field. I could save it to a module level variable in the GridView1_RowDataBound when I set the row to 'edit' but I think there is a better idea out there. I have tried to access the datarowview but it keeps coming back as Nothing e.g. This retuns nothing:
[Code]....
Does anyone have any ideas other than recording the data in the RowDataBound event please?
I've created a templated user control by following the example on the microsoft support pages. I won't post it all but the important part of the CS file looks as follows:
[Code]....
I'm not sure if the whole _CurrentDataItem business is required, I don't think so.The problem I've got, is that I've tried nesting it inside a FormView control so I can use it to display a record from a database. My ASPX looks like this:
[Code]....
Now, the bound properties (TitleText and TitleSubText) bind correctly, but the nested / template content is blank when the page loads. I'm not sure if this is something to do with the order in which everything is loaded or because I'm missing some code in the SimpleTemplate to get it to bind (etc.).
I'm working on a user control that renders couple nested divs (a rounded corner box to be frank). This is a templated user control, which means that user can put any control he wants into the header, body or footer of this box. Everything is working fine, except the fact that server-side controls can't be retrived from my box. Take a look at this code:
[Code]....
Now codebehind of that control:
[Code]....
I have cut out all the unimportant stuff.Now when I use this control:
[Code]....
I want to access controls in page codebehind file (on Page Load): LiteralNewses.Text=""; but compiler returns an error that LiteralNewses doesn't exist. Also FindControl method can't find this literal.Any tips on what's wrong with this code? According to MSDN, setting TemplateInstance to Single ensures that controls from template will be accessible but not in my case...
The idea being here is that the only acceptable items in "ItemTemplates" are the tabitem types. There are many asp.net controls that use this, for example the ScriptManager class only allows you to specify certain types of objects under its various collections. Maybe thats the key to this.. I want to add a collection as opposed to a template. The idea is that in code I will then iterate over each "tabItem" and create the tab as I want it to look (probably rendering div's etc). Ive had a look at most of MSDN link on how to create templated controls but it doesnt seem to do exactly what I want it to. Would be grateful for some assistance.
I am trying to develop a very simple templated custom server control that resembles GridView. Basically, I want the control to be added in the .aspx page like this:
[Code]....
I know that what I want to achieve is pointless and that I can use DataGrid to achieve it, but I am giving this very simple example because if I know how to do this I would be able to develop the control that I need.
I have a custom Panel with attribute Designer(typeof(xxxMainPanelEditor), typeof(System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls.PanelContainerDesigner)). The child controls of this custom Panel Control at design time can see all the exposed properties that I want to share from the Parent (no problem here).
However, if I place controls on an UpdatePanel, these child controls cannot see the parent container but instead, it immediately sees the form/page or DesignerHost. The problem is the same even if I put Panel on the UpdatePanel and vise versa.
Is there a way to manage controls inside an update panel? For me, this behavior is like saying that UpdatePanel is not container based during design time?
I have recently found this snippet of code but I am unable to get it to work. Does anybody know if the $index syntax has changed in the latest version of the client templates?
Here is what I am trying to do. I have a page with two link buttons and an updatepanel (the two linkbuttons trigger the updatepanel). I have two usercontrols which have labels with same ID's. When I click the first link button, I add the first usercontrol to the updatepanel and set the label value to datetime.now
when i click the second link button i add the second usercontrol but i see that the value of the label from the first control is set in the label in second user control. if the id's are different there is no problem - but in my case the usercontrols are being developed by different teams and I am integrating them in the way i mentioned - so they may have same ids.
I have two update panels and one javascript control.
When the javascript button is clicked, it forces a partial postback on UpdatePanel2. UpdatePanel2 is populated with dynamically created buttons that have javascript effects (jquery) but when click can also induce a postback. My problem is that, when clicking on these dynamic buttons, the whole page does not do a partial post back but rather UpdatePanel2 itself does a partial postback and everything is gone.
However, what I want to do is be able to tie each of the dynamic buttons in UpdatePanel2 (After being dynamically created) and make them an asychnonous triggers to UpdatePanel1. So that when clicking on these dynamic buttons, ONLY UpdatePanel1 is doing a partial postback refresh. UpdatePanel2 stays put and remains the same.
I find the repetition of sets of controls for each of the EditItemTemplate, InsertItemTemplate, and ItemTemplate templates of a FormView to be tedious and risky, in terms duplicating layout and code etc. I would much rather create a xxxDetails user control, and use this in each template, cutting layout and code location down to one location.
However, this introduces several complexities for data binding scenarios. Are there any extablished patterns or practice guides for using user controls in these scenarios?
is there any difference between sql express and sql client. Actually I have been told to install a sql client using which i will connect to the sql server installed remotely. Also I have sql express edition 2008 installed on my machine. So is it the same. Will I be able to connect to the sql server using the sql server express edition.?
Does anyone have an example for how to create a Dynamically Templated Listview with prefernces page to specify which columns & column order)? Also the listview would also have Edit, delete and insert options if possible. And uses the n-tier approach with Bus Layer and does NOT use LINQ.
