Custom Server Controls :: Composite Control Which Contains Arbitrary Content Defined In .aspx Of Parent And Thier ViewState

Aug 21, 2010

I want to write own control which can contain other. And I want to define content of the control in the .aspx file where the control is defined. I have written such control. But now I have issue with ViewState of inner controls of my control. The following samle illustrates the issue: I defined two asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1" and ID="ddl2" One of them is inside of my control and other is outside. When posback is occurred asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1 loses state and becomes empty. How to say ASP.net to store state of inner controls defined by this way?

MyControl.ascx:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="MyControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="DynamicControls.Controls.MyControl" %>

<div class="box"> [code]....

Custom Server Controls :: Custom Composite Control With Custom Templated Child Controls?

Mar 22, 2011

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.

Custom Server Controls :: Composite Control - Mismatching The Result?

Nov 3, 2010

I am creating a composite control. On the selection of item in the dropdownlist, the result should be shown. But its mismatching the result. Here is the code for the control:

[Code]....

If I have a breakpoint on the selection index changed event of the dropdownlist, then on every selection it should go to the event. Problem is when I select an item which makes the "singlelineText" textbox to appear and after it I select any other item, it doesn't stop at the dropdown event instead it goes to the "CreateChildControls" method of the composite control which results in wrong data.

Custom Server Controls :: Making Phonenumber Composite Control?

Mar 17, 2011

I am trying to make a PhoneNumber Control. I inherit from Composite Control. It contains 5 controls : 1 Label (Text to show before), 3 TextBoxes(area, prefix and line) and a Custom Validator. What I want to happen is the validator to validate the control is belongs to in two ways: 1. that the field is required and 2. That the COMBINED text of the 3 textboxes is 10 digits. I believe i can accomplish this with the expression ^d{10}$. Now I have it about halfway working, it will validate the control using client-side
embeded validation on a submit click, however I need the control to validate as soon as the text of any of the boxes changes. I know this is done on the aspx page by using a Custom Validator -> specifying client and server side validation functions -> and then at end of page doing ValidatorHookupControlID(control, va lidator). My goal is to do all of this within the control to clean aspx code and make it more reusable.

Custom Server Controls :: Composite Control And CausesValidation Not Working?

Jan 16, 2010

I have build a composite control containing a Label, TextBox and a ImageButton. The idea:

Label text | textbox | imagebutton used for triggering an event

This textbox has a build-in validation.

When the imagebutton is set, i will use this imagebutton as a trigger. This imagebutton has an onclick event. Nou my problem is the following:

When i have my textbox on a form an click a button to validate my textbox validation takes place correctly.

If my textbox has the imagebutton enabled and i click this imagebutton validation takes place.

In my composite control i have implicity set imagebutton.CausesValidation = false;

Custom Server Controls :: Trigger Click Event In Composite Control?

May 10, 2010

My CompositeControl creates dinamically several RadioButtonLists according to the DataSource information. These controls are added to the Controls list and rendered in CreateChildControls event.

I need to create a LinkButton that clear a specific RadioButtonList selection and do a postback, to load the DataSource information again (some selections changes the data that need to be loaded from the database). For each RadioButtonList, I've put a LinkButton and assigned the Click Event to a method inside the same CompositeControl, to do the RadioButtonList cleaning.

Unfortunatelly, the LinkButton doesn't trigger the Click Event. In HTML code, the link has the "onclick" attribute setted with the asp.net event, but when clicked, nothing happens.

Custom Server Controls :: Composite User Web Control - Properties - Best Practice

Jan 12, 2011

I would like to ask you what is the best practice for developing composite user web control with multiple controls inside from the stand point of dealing with properieties. In my situation I would like to use header menu bar with logos, buttons, java baset visible/hidden menus itc as web control. I was successfull in implementing new control in my project.

But my question goes to issue of properties for ALL OF controls. I know how to hard code all required properties like: text, visible, enable for all controls. It's a lot of work. ( This is the very edge of my asp.net comprehension ) Is there a more elegant way provide an access to controls's properties without hard coding seperatelly?

Custom Server Controls :: Composite User Control Cannot Be Added To TableRow Dynamically

Jan 21, 2011

I have a composite user control consisting of three standard table cells (a legend, an image with a tool tip, and a text field control). If I add these to a TableRow in my aspx page it works fine and produces legal HTML in my source. The below works fine ...

<tr><MyControl:dataField
ID="txtEmail"
DataType="Email"
runat="server"
/></tr>

However when I try to do the same programmatically (C#) the TableRow won't accept anything in its Controls collection that isn't a TableCell. I could make my control a nested table in its own right but I lose the alignment of my form items on the page with multiple controls, as each table aligns itself according to its contents. Is there anyway I can make the TableRow accept my control as collection of cells or do I need to do some casting or making my user control inherit some kind of TableCell attributes? I can also dynamically add my controls to a TableCell item which actually displays OK in IE but creates illegal HTML (<td><td></td><td> ... </td></td> - I assume this is illegal) in my resulting source. The code below DOES NOT work ...

and this one:

[Code]....

In fact, the designer class is a copy of a sample class in MSDN and I only tried to customize it to work for me. I'm not sure if all methods are necessary or not.

I have the following two questions:

1- When I use this contrl in design mode, I can add or delete controls to it, in the html view, tags are not updated. so when I close the page and open it again, all changes are lost.

2- I have added this control to the same asp.net project that is using this control. Isn't there any way to have this controil in tool box?

Does A Composite Server Control(inc. User Control, Custom Server Control) Normally Encapsulate Css Properties?

Nov 7, 2010

If a composite server control normally encapsulate styling information inside, it is an example of code encapsulation and modularization. However if css properties are included inside the composite control, it is not ideal for code/styling separation and css code re-use principles. Now which consideration should be the main consideration?

Web Forms :: Assignment Of FormView Control In Design-time To User Defined Composite Control

Feb 1, 2011

i create a composite control as can be seen in code below, and add this control to webform, assign FormView1 to the HeaderControlName property, Run the page, the system will generate parse error message :
Cannot create an object of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormView' from its string representation 'FormView1' for the 'HeaderControlName' property. However, if i don't assign FormView1 in design screen and manually (through coding) assign FormView1 to the custom control on init, it works as expected.

custom control
public class CmdTest : CompositeControl
{
public virtual FormView HeaderControlName
{
get
{
object oObject = ViewState["HeaderControlName"];
return (oObject == null) ? null : (FormView)oObject;
}
set
{
ViewState["HeaderControlName"] = value;
}
}
protected override void CreateChildControls(
{
Controls.Clear();
Button xx = new Button();
Controls.Add(xx);
}
}
webpage.aspx (assign FormView1 in design time, it will generate error)
<Utils:CmdTest ID="CmdTest1" runat="server" HeaderControlName="FormView1" />
webpage.aspx (didn't assign FormView1 in ASPX, but assign it on Init Code, it works)
<Utils:CmdTest ID="CmdTest1" runat="server" oninit="CmdTest1_Init" />
Webpage.aspx.cs
protected void BsCmdTest1_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CmdTest1.HeaderControlName = FormView1;

How To Save Value Across Postbacks For A Composite Control Without Using Viewstate

Oct 29, 2010

I have a composite control that has a couple of private fields that reference values in the cache and these private fields are called during the constructor method. Since a string key is used to identify the value in the cache, I must have a way of storing that string key in such a way that it is available at the time the control is instantiated, and I have to be able to reference it on postbacks without it changing.

In addition, this key is generated the first time the control is loaded, but it should not be changed again after that first time.

How can I accomplish this?

I have already tried saving it to viewstate, but that doesn't work because viewstate is not yet available at the time the control is instantiated.

I have tried using a private field and then checking against Page.IsPostback in the constructor and if it isn't postback, I assign a value to the private field, but on subsequent postbacks it looses it's value, and I can't reassign it in the Page.IsPostBack again because it is an autogenerated GUID.
