But still no results unfortunately.
For a "dashboard" module I need to dynamically load user controls based on criteria as the user enters the page (role, etc). The problem is that the events are not being fired at all from the controls
As I understand it I need to load the controls in the OnPreInit method of the dashboard page, however I cannot get a reference to the Placeholder control at this point of initialization (i.e. I get a NullReferenceException); trying to load the Placeholder dynamically via Page.FindControl gives me, ironically, a StackOverflowException.
I've tried loading the controls in PreRender and OnInit as well but the events in the controls are not wired up properly and will not fire.
The code is basically this:

I am looking at somebody else's code and in it there is a user control:
<UserControl:Comments ID="Comments1" runat="server" ObjectID="4" ObjectRecordID='<%#((Alert)Container.DataItem).AlertId %>'></UserControl:Comments>
What I don't quite understand is how the value for ObjectRecordID gets assigned. I
understand by looking at the code that AlerId is getting assigned to ObjectRecordID
but how is ((Alert)Container.DataItem).AlertId grabbing its value?
how we can develop a custom control of gridview in asp.net custom control, with dynamic columns.
View 1 RepliesI have one main project for the cms we are using for our website. I have also created usercontrols to include in the site, but I think I would like to keep these in a separate project and just reference them in the main project. Is this a best practice and how would I do this?
View 1 RepliesI am interested in learning how to develop a custom asp.net ajax gridview, and I have obtained some books on the subject, but would still like a quick answer for a question: When developing a custom ajax server control, can I somehow use jquery for the client-side part of the control? Are there any collisions with ASP.NET AJAX framework and are there special requirements (e.g. only available for .NET 4.0 etc.)?I would also appreciate any suggestions on resources from which I can learn more about developing a custom asp.net ajax server control from scratch.
View 5 RepliesPart of a web application we have uses an in-house web control assembly. This assembly contains several web user controls where several of these are used by other web controls within the same assembly.
The assembly is built as a website with a web deployment project.
The main web application's pages are dynamically compiled through a service into a single assembly and placed into the appropriate bin folder. In our development server the old assemblies aren't always tidied up and removed, meaning the folder gets full of old assemblies.
When the page that uses the in-house web control assembly (mentioned above) runs, the asp.net instance throws an out of memory as it loads all the old assemblies in an attempt to determine which assembly houses the reference to the user control being used by the other user control inside the same assembly.
We've been using the following inside the top level user controls to register the other controls
<%@ Register Src="~/....ascx" TagPrefix="UC" TagName="...." %>
Of course when the application runs this gives no information as to which assembly it can find it in.
Is there anyone that's come across this problem before? It's not really a problem as our live servers use a clean up tool to remove old assemblies, but there are still potential situations where we could get out of memory caused by this (for example the tool stops working!), so it would be nice to resolve this problem.
Here is the stack trace
[Code]....
We have an application where the controls are dynamically added to the form based on the logged in user,
This user controls related data is stored in the database. There is lot of logic in the code behind in the asp.net webforms which is so messy to maintain it, we are planning to re-write it using the MVC framework.
I would say there would be rougly 50 different forms based on the user logged in, is it good idea to create so many views and redirect to the appropriate view based on the logged in user, in some of the forms there might be minor difference like the order of the Control might change.
I got 15 tabs and 15 user controls assigned to each tab.All are loading at once which id delaying the process.
I want to load one user control on selection of a tab in tab container.
I'm doing a menu that loads levels dynamicly, when you click on a item the next level is loaded asynchronously. For each menu item I have a user control. Every user control is declared in its parent, for example, the "secondlevelcontrol" has the reference to "thirdlevelcontrol".With this level of nesting, I want to manage the asynchronous calls on every user control so, when the first level is loaded the javascript to load the second is loaded too. When the second level is loaded the javascript to load the third is loaded too.
To do asynchronous calls I'm implementing ICallbackEventHandler interface. As you can see in the examples, controls are added to the page as plain html. The method "ProcessOnLoadEvent" executes all lines of the "OnLoad" event of the user control.An example of the implementation is this for the user control of fourth level:
public string GetCallbackResult()
{
return _callbackRendering;
}

Has anyone come across any books that covered the topic of gridviews REALLY well and just say what they do?
View 1 RepliesI'm in the process of converting an ASP.Net webform into a User control and there an event that now says
no suitable method found to override
the event code causing the compile error
protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
{
//do some stuff
base.OnPreInit(e);
}
Is there any equivalent for a user control?
I'm new to all of this, so go easy on me. This should be an easy one. I have created a custom SmartContentBlock user control for a CMS.The control works, but only if I invoke the Fill() function in the Page_init event in the codebehind of the ASPX page. My goal is to modify the class file so that the Fill() in the codebehind is no longer neccesary. So, for reference, here's the gist of the current situtation.Controls.cs

We're developing a web app with a home page that opens giving the user capability to do different searches. The search results are displayed in a grid. Each row has an open link. The user clicks it and another web page opens with all sorts of detailed info on the selected item. The boss would like to have the new web pages open cascaded the way you can in a windows app - each new window is on top and slightly offset from the last one.Can this be done with a web app? Is there a javascript solution or something in the framework that cann accommodate this?
View 3 RepliesI have a user control (ascx file) that contains an interface for users to change the data retrieved from the db. So, I am displaying data and most of this data can be edited by the user. When the user enters text into a textbox, and clicks "Save Changes", the value they typed in is lost and not persisted to the database. I realize now this is because the SaveChanges button does a postback, and the user control gets reloaded with its original valuesbefore the code within my SaveChanges button gets executed. I'm not sure if there are properties I need to set to save the input data, or if I need to write my own code to do it. What is the generally accepted method to do this? (Also, all of the controls in the ascx file are wrapped in an Update Panel.)
View 8 RepliesIs it any theme or css framework can apply to ASP.NET?
I work with ASP.NET webform, everybody known web controls generate pure html to work.
I already work with jQuery and Ajax Controll Tookit,but it not much to make a modern UI design.
I have found some commercial library like ComponentArt,DevExpress etc, but is it any free or opensource i can use?
I am working on a .NET web app. I need to display images from the file system. Can anyone recommend a slick, professional looking image carousel (even if there is a cost) that has allows the user to rotate through the images at the bottom and then displays the larger image when the thumbnail is clicked.
View 4 RepliesI have a custom control which inherit from the Table class and in the constructor, it takes a an integer as an argument. There is no empty constructor.
Is there a way for the user to set that variable in the properties window after they drag the control onto a form.
I know some .NET controls, you can set the source for the parameter to different things like another control's property, QueryString using just the properties window.
Right now, I have to create the control dynamically. I read the query string and then created the object.
Can someone point me to their recommended emulators for IPhone, Blackberry, and/or Droid devices? Preferrably free products.
View 2 Replies I have created a user control and am ready to convert it into a custom control. I am trying to follow:
[URL] the steps mentioned in the link.
I am not seeing Build / Publish Web Site option.
I am using VS 2008. I only see Publish User Control but it doesn't give all the settings mentioned below. When I do publish user control, it just copies the ascx file to the desired location. how can I convert the user control to custom control.
I have written a user control that captures some user input and has a Save button to save it to the DB. I use a repeater to render a number of these controls on the page - imagine a list of multiple choice questions with a Save button by each question.
I am loading the user control inside the repeater's ItemDataBound event like this (code simplified):
[code]....
The problem is that when the Save button is clicked, the page posts back, but lbnUpdate_Click is not called. The Page_Load event of the page itself is called however.
I should mention that the repeater is part of a user control, and that user control is loaded inside another user control (this is a DotNetNuke site which makes heavy use of user controls). The Save button link looks like this:
javascript:__doPostBack('dnn$ctr498$AssignmentsList$rptAssignments$ctl04$ctl00$lbnUpdate','')
I have 3 pages in each page there is a portion of page where it is common in all these three pages.Thought of making the common stuff as a separate control either User control/Custom control.Any suggestions on which one should i use custom/user control
