Use The Same IDs In Different FormView Templates?
Mar 3, 2010
I understand that only one FormView template is rendered at any given time, so is it ever a problem to reuse child control IDs?For example, the insert and edit templates are identical in this FormView, each has a TextBox in which a user may enter their name. Would it be a problem (or a bad idea) to give both text boxes the ID "NameTextBox"?Better yet, is there a way I can create a single template that is used in both insert and edit modes? With the same code-behind, event handlers, etc? I found a forum thread somewhere that suggested creating a web user control to use in both insert and edit modes - is this typical?

I use the FormView control quite a bit, but I wish I had more control over the default templates.
When I drag a FormView from the toolbox onto my page and point it to a DataSource control it prepopulates the ItemTemplate, EditItemTemplate and InsertItemTemplates, but it doesn't do it very well.
For example, the InsertItemTemplate looks like this by default:
<InsertItemTemplate>
id:
<asp:TextBox ID="IDTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("id") %>' />
<br />
Name:
<asp:TextBox ID="NameTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Name") %>' />
...
</InsertItemTemplate>
But what I would prefer is a good old fashioned html table
<InsertItemTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
id:
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="IDTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("id") %>' />
</td>
<tr>
...
</table>
</insertItemTemplate>
I know I can use a DetailsView to get a table rendered out, but I end up modifying the form so much that I prefer to use the FormView. It's just that I would like Visual Studio to start me out a bit closer to where I want to end up.
I would imagine that there is a T4 template somewhere in the guts of VS that I might be able to modify to get this done.

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?

Let's say I have an abstract class IA, with subclasses A1, A2, A3.For each subclass, I had a page with a FormView to insert/edit/view, with code specific to that class. The templates for insert/edit/view are all very similar, so it was mostly cut & paste, and the compiler had no problem that there were controls with the same IDs in the different templates.Something like this:
<asp:FormView>
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:Label id="Label1" />

This is probably a dumb question, but I have to ask because I spend so much time editing my formviews and listviews. Is there a way to edit the default template setup for these controls, in the code or somewhere? When you drag them over you get the default text with textbox column names; then I spend over 30 mins editing each to look the way I want it to.
I know I can create standard templates for WebForms and save them as Exported Templates.
And is it possible to edit the default control when you drag them on to the page, to list certain attributes automatically. example (validation controls you always have to add ControltoValidate I would like to drag mine onto the page and it say controltovalidate="" and then all I do is fill in the blank. Intellisense is fine, but sometimes you get brain freeze after hours of web design and forget the needed attribute and you have all to go through all of the errors and mistakes.
The ultimate would be, to drag a FormView Control and when you Refresh the Schema, you get textboxes, label controls instead of text for column name, and divs for forms, and Image Buttons , I am sure there is an XML file that runs the code that you can edit or something.
OR
ASP Developers, When you develop the next ServicePack allow us to edit or create default templates to customize the default templates, in VS and VWD.

Is there a way to create only the InsertItemTemplate in the FormView and then assign it to EditItemTemplate. Something like
Page_Load
{
FormView.EditItemTemplate = FormView.InsertItemTemplate;
}

to force a table width in Formview control templates? I have created a table in the ItemTemplate that works fine but I can't seem to get the table to fill the entire width of the display area. I tried wrapping the entire FormView
in a div tag and setting the width to 98% but it didn't work either. Aplogies in advance if this has already been asked. I found a lot of references to GirdView (which didn't help) and nothing helpful r/e FormView except the div tag suggestion.
Here is the code I am using for the ItemTemplate (VS 2008, VB [preferred], in a master page):
Sample ItemTemplate
<ItemTemplate>
<table cellspacing="0" style="width:98%;">
<tr>

I have a FormView control in an ASP.NET page. I use the InsertItemTemplate and EditItemTemplate to provide data manipulation functionality, and it is working very well. I would like to allow the user to "Copy to new" from an existing item. In other words, I want the user to be able to display an item as if they are going to edit it, then, if they click a "Copy to new" button, it will load the information from that item into an "Insert" form so they could just change the bits of data that they want, and insert the new item.
The data objects we are dealing with are fairly large so, providing this functionality will save the user a lot of data entry misery.
I have experimented with copying the existing EditItemTemplate controls in the Copy button's click event, storing them, and writing them to the new InsertItemTemplate controls, once the form is reloaded (in the Page_PreRender event). But this is pretty ugly stuff. There has to be a better/simpler way.

I have a page with a FormView on it. The page is strictly for adding records to a Table. I have the FormView bound to an EntityDataSource and everything works greate except for one thing.
I want to initialize a date field in the FormView to today's date. So, in my page_load event I have:
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
//Initialize SetupDate to today.
TextBox setupdate = (TextBox)fvJob.FindControl("txtSetupDate");
setupdate.Text = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
}
The first time this page loads, the txtSetupDate field is initialized.
Although, and subsequent loads of the page doesn't initialize the Text Box. I step through the code in the debugger and I can see that the code is executig, but something (the FormView bind?) is "clearing" the Text Box.

I have a formview that I am adding and editing items. I need to have a lookup button besides a textbox so I can click the button and show a webgrid listing items with their descriptions. Select one and enter the data in the formview control. I know how to put the data in the formview control with the FormView.FindControl method. But how can I add a lookup? Can I do this with a popup panel? And on the postback update the textbox control?

I would like to ask if it is possible to access data on a master FormView from a nested detail FormView.
I have a main form (master) with several tabs (detail) and would like to display a label with text from main form that is hidden by the tab at the moment of editting. My asp page looks like this.
[Code]....
Is it possible to get the value of the label CompanyTextLabel from CompanyTextBox using just ASP.NET expressions or something similar without writing c# code in .cs file?

Am in the process of creating my own set of coderush templates for MVC both on the HTML side and in the code-behind. Am wondering if anyone has gone through the same process and has put them anywhere on the public domain where I could obtain them rather than "reinventing the wheel"? Otherwise will put together a list of the templates myself and post them on the public domain somewhere.

I have a requirement to create several three to five page mini websites. We are creating simple folders within an existing website, i.e.: [URL]
We are testing Visual Studio 2010 and are wondering if there is a masterpage/content page template source for this requirement. All of these folder website will be administered in house, no additional user access will be needed. Essentially we would like MasterPage and Basic Content page code that can be dropped into a folder. Is there any safe source for this?

How do we intall and use templates tha are on asp.net's web site? I have done the following:
Go to "%PROGRAMFILES%Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0Common7IDEProjectTemplatesCSharpWeb1033" (folder might vary since I'm using VS2010 Ultimate, but you can locate the folder easily by just looking for
ProjectTemplates folder at %PROGRAMFILES%). Locate and copy the MvcWebApplicationProjectTemplatev2.0.cs.zip and
EmptyMvcWebApplicationProjectTemplatev2.0.cs.zip files into "%HOMEPATH%My DocumentsVisual Studio 2010TemplatesProjectTemplatesVisual C#"
If you are running Visual Studio you'll need to restart it before you can see any effects.
I also have installed n2cms_2.0_Framework and mvc 1 installed although I do not see it in VS 2010. I am running VS 2010 on Windows 7 Ultimated with SQL 2008 RC. VS and SQL are on Drive D:
Should these templates be part of IIS under inetput/wwwroot? assist me with this questions or point me in the right direction.
