I have a webform with a a couple of boundfields in an edit window as follows:
<asp:BoundField DataField="TS_TITLE" HeaderText="Title" SortExpression="TS_TITLE" HeaderStyle-VerticalAlign="Top" HtmlEncode="True" >
<ControlStyle Width="500px" />
[code]...
i am having a boundfield column and in that column if i entered a string(without spaces) of length 15, there is no problem. But if the string is more than 15, the text is not wrapped. I gave the command column.ItemStyle.Wrap=true; But its not working. I have fixed the width of the column. How to wrap the text in the boundfield if a string more 15 characters.
View 3 RepliesI want to access the header text of bound fields programatically. suppose i have GridView1 with following bound fields:
<asp:BoundField Visible="false" DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="Title" HeaderText="Title" /> <asp:BoundField Visible="false" DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" />
how can I access their header text programmatically ( display it(either using response.write or any label)
UPDATE 2:
In this section, I am trying to manually add in tabs and line spaces so the string is formatted when displayed via the pre tag. But this does not work.
objStringBuilder.Append("<div>" & Environment.NewLine)
objStringBuilder.Append(vbTab & "<div>some text</div>" & Environment.NewLine)
objStringBuilder.Append("</div>" & Environment.NewLine)
Return "<pre>" & Server.HtmlEncode(objStringBuilder.ToString) & "</pre>"
UPDATE 1:
I have tried the following, but it does not work:
return "<pre>" & Server.HtmlEncode("<div><div>some text</div></div>") & "</pre>"
I want it to display something like this
<div>
<div>some text</div>
</div>
But it's diplaying like this, which is expected:
<div><div>some text</div></div>
I don't know how to get spaces, tabs, carriage returns into that string which are recognizable by the pre tag, as environment.newline and/or vbtab make no difference.
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Is it possible to display HTML as text on your page in a formatted manner? For example, it should contain white spaces, tabs etc etc for readability purposes:
From another question, I have learned how to display HTML as text as follows:
Server.HtmlEncode("<div>Some text</div>");
I have a calculation that takes place utilizing the TimeSpan.FromTicks method, the result is stored in a TimeSpan object. The calculation itself is working correctly, but I'd like to format the result a bit nicer than it is and I can't figure out how to format a TimeSpan.
The result from the TimeSpan is:
00:00:04.6153846
I'd like to remove any preceding zero's and round up to the second decimal place, such as:
4.62
Does anyone know how I might be able to accomplish this? I can't seem to find a .NET 'built in' solution.
I need users to be able to enter text in a webform with some basic formatting options and then generate a report showing the formatted text.The support for HTML is horrible and entering a simple bulletlist doesn't even show properly in the report.Right now i'm using a textarea with tinyMCE but that's because i don't know what else to use.Is there a known best-practice for showing formatted text in a Crystal Report?EditI just need to show a report with a bunch of text and icons. Users need to be able to save it to PDF. I doesn't even have to be Crystal Reports but it's what i have been using and worked so far. Until i needed to show formatted text.I wish for another solution that comes with a designer and let's me bind against a DataSet.
View 1 RepliesQuick VS2010 question.
I tried to apply formatting to my text (tools>options>texteditor>htmlformatting>tags)
where you can change color, style, and font-weight of certain tags, I apply them, but they do not change the text editor rendering of these tags.
Anyone else tried this with no effect?
Otherwise it works ok, but I find it easier to use one color for html, one for asp, and one for ajax tags for my purposes.
I am having text formatting problem with Outlook 2007 since it is taking different rendering engine i.e word 2007. In our application, we are sending mails to different clients who have Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. We have used CSS in our application for formatting.
1. Since I have created Tables and given width in Percentage to every <TD> but while rendering in outlook 2007, every table taking different widths depending on the no. of the columns. Due to this reason, formatting is getting distored. Outlook 2003 shows proper output.
2. In our aspx page, I have created DIV tag with Style attributes having Property as Display:none. But in Outlook 2007, DIV tag is visible. Due to this, unwanted Warning messages also getting displayed in the outlook 2007.
I want to put some kind of text editor on my website which allows the user to manipulate the formatting of text. I would also like it to be possible for a user to copy/paste text from an existing webpage and it keep the formatting i.e. markup tags, font weight, bullet points. I just dont know hoe to go about this but the information must be there as when you copy from a web page into ms Word it keeps the format.

I have a long text in SQL and passing it to a gridview. I am trying to make the gridview result display in a multiline scroll. I have tried the following code but to no avail. Additionally, the text in the gridview result is not in the same format as where it came from, eg. Word. That is the format such as bullet points and multiple spaces are removed. So what is left is a lenghty long string.

I have a listview control qith a datapager. I'm using a linkbutton for next and previous. I have a css class that makes the text Arial, and bold. It also sets the size to 10px. When I run the page, the link button is Arial and bold, but I can't change the size of the text. I've tried setting it to 10px, 8px, even 5px, 10pt, and xx-small. Nothing changes the font size. My customer wants the next and previous buttons to look a certain way. I'll have to manage paging manually if I can't get this figured out.

I'm using ASP .NET C# 3.5. I have a multiline textbox on my web form that allows for the input of up to 5,000 characters from the end-user. This text is a basic description of a training course. I need to display it out in a clearly formatted way. For example, I need there to be bullets and bold text.
What I did was I chose certain (not often used) characters and then used the .Replace method when displaying the text in an <asp:Label>. If the text in the database contains the character '~' then I replace that with a line break <br />. If it contains '`' I replace that with <b> and if it contains '^' I replace that with </b>.
Is there a better way of doing this? It is working properly, and I'm displaying the text properly, but I know the end-user is going to hate typing text like this for formatting. I do want this all to stay database driven as well
I was using this UR [URL] for exporting the data to excel. Can I do the following two things while exporting:
1) I want to remove the autofilter options, which are displaying now when you open the excel workbook soon after exporting finishes.
2) Some of the columns which are numerics, are formatted to text by default, and it is displaying a small green rectangular icon at the left top corner of each cell which is very disturbing while viewing the sheet.
Is it possible to fix both the above options.
If I were to respond to an http request with a plain text in PHP, I would do something like:

I have a series of textboxes on a FormView. There is a textbox for entering a percent for a deposit amount and next to that a corresponding textbox for entering a dollar value for a deposit amount. There are 3 sets of these.
If a user changes a percent textbox, I update the dollar value textbox based on the percent times the project's total cost. If a user changes the dollar value textbox, the percent textbox gets updated as a percent of that dollar amount divided by the project's total cost.
I have the percent textboxes formatted as "{0:0%}" and the dollar value textboxes as "{0:C}".
When a user types into the textbox, the formatting goes away and we get raw numbers but I don't want those raw numbers to remain as such after they tab or click out of the field. I added a TextChanged event to reset the formatting. This works fine on reformatting the percent textbox but the currency one remains as just a raw numeric value.
Here is the markup (ignore the lack of validation for numeric input only...it will be added):
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDepositPercent1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true"
CssClass="TextboxAnimatedRightAlign" Width="33px"
Text='<%# String.Format("{0:0%}", Eval("fld_dep1")) %>'
OnTextChanged="txtDeposit_TextChanged" />

We have a largely asp.net web form team (With some Oracle developers thrown in).
Question 1:
Is it a good idea to start using asp.net MVC which will mean redevelopment of a number of standard controls for not much benefit.
Question 2:
Is it a good idea to hire developers where there most recent skills are with asp.net MVC?
I doubt there is any benefit adopting MVC now, given the 100+ applications in this suite of products, and the maintenance/rework this will cause. Given this, is there any particular reason to hire MVC developers, as they won't be hitting the ground running, which is what I need now.
