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;
}

Web Forms :: Composite Control Attribute Assignment?

Mar 29, 2010

I have got a composite control and i would like to dictate which attribute/property is assigned to the control first from the markup?example in the aspx file:

<MM:MyControl ID="" runat="server" ViewType="normal" BaseType="RealBase"></MM:MyControl>

when the control gets created from the mark-up above, ViewType will be assigned first, Which is what I do not want, I would like RealBase to be assigned first under all circumstances. This control is to be users by other developers so I cannot just switch the order.

How To Get A Composite-control's Child Controls At Design-time

Jun 23, 2010

I am designing an ASP.NET v3.5 custom control based on CompositeControl.

However, I do NOT want to create my child controls via code, but rather as

embedded HTML tag elements within the CompositeControl in the ASPX page, such as:

[code]....

At run time, MyControl.Controls contains the two labels as expected.

At design time, MyControl.Controls is empty.

I need this information at design time for various reasons.

What am I doing wrong?

Asp Net Web User Control Rendering In Design Time?

Sep 29, 2010

I render some markup dynamically in a Web User Control, can I get that out in design mode, and not only runtime?

public override void RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
if (this.DesignMode)
writer.Write("<p>In design mode</p>");
else
base.RenderControl(writer);
}

... nothing happens when I check the design view of the control. Not if I remove the if (this.DesignMode)-condition either.

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.

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?

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?

Asp.Net Custom Control Design Time?

Feb 9, 2010

I'm developing a set of custom controls, one of them are the "parent", any others must be added inside an ITemplate property of this parent. But in the page, at design time, I can see, by intellisense, the other controls at page level, and I can theorically add them everywhere. I want to emulate the behaviour of the asp:Table and the asp:TableRow, you can't directly add an asp.

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 ...

Accessing Property Value Of A Custom Control By Another Custom Control In Design-time

Oct 18, 2010

I created an Extender which has a custom property that drills down a list XML elements from an xml file, where users can select xml elements during design-time. This works perfectly fine. However, my code only has a hardcoded xml filename (source of the xml elements list) and I need to change this by maxing the xml file user-specified.

What I did is that I created another control (panel) which has a custom property that when clicked (through the ellipsis), it will allow a developer to select the xml file which is supposed to be the source xml file that the Extenders shall use. The filedialog from custom panel's property works perfectly fine.

However, my problem now is that when I drag-drop my Extender, I cannot find a way to get the property value of the custom Panel Control which contains the xml filename. I tried creating a static variable which I thought the custom controls can share but VS2010 is breaking.

.net - Subscribing To An Event Defined In The Base User Control?

Apr 4, 2011

I have a base user control (inherited from System.Web.UI.UserControl)

public delegate void MyEventHandler(object sender, MyEventArgs e);
public event MyEventHandler ControlLoaded;
//Fire the event from here
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
MyEventArgs cmdEventArgs = new MyEventArgs("somearg");
ControlLoaded(this, cmdEventArgs);
}

I have several controls that are derived from this base user control.

On the host ASPX page, I need to subscribe to the ControlLoaded event.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//subscribe to the event
//This line DOES NOT WORK as I cannot attach event to a base control - It needs an instance of the user control which I don't have
BaseUserControl.ControlLoaded += new MyEventHandler(ControlLoaded);
}
private void ControlLoaded(object sender, MyEventArgs e)
{
// some control has been loaded
}


How do I subscribe to the ControlLoaded event?

Visual Studio :: Boolean Variables Set On A Web Control At Design Time?

Dec 15, 2010

I'm trying to extend a RequiredFieldValidator in an incredibly basic manner.All I want to do is add a property that is a boolean that can be set at design time through the Properties window of Visual Studio 2008.I can get the control to build and render at design time but as soon as I set the Boolean property the control breaks.There is no trouble at run-time with this control, only design time.Below is the code,the placement in VS and the error message:

1) The Code:

[Code]....

3) This is what the design surface shows after that change is made:

In case the image is missing or broken and to help the search engines, this is what it says:

"An unhandled exception has occurred. 'False' could not be set on property 'ShowValidatorSummaryLink'"

I'm sure I'm missing something or there is a serious bug here.I can't imagine that setting a simple property on the design surface would cause so much trouble.

Change The Default Assignment Of Field In TreeView Control?

Jan 26, 2010

I have this code setup currently:

TreeView tree;
TreeNodeBinding treeNodeBinding = new TreeNodeBinding();
treeNodeBinding.TextField = "Name";
treeNodeBinding.DataMember = "Address";
treeNodeBinding.ValueField = "Zip";
treeNodeBinding.ToolTipField = "FileName1";
tree.DataBindings.Add(treeNodeBinding);
tree.DataSourceID = "Customers";
tree.DataBind();

The datasource (XML) may or may not have an optional attribute called IsPremium. If it exists, then I have to add custom business logic that determines what the treeNodeBinding.ToolTipField is going to be. The custom business logic will generate a string which needs to be set as the value of the ToolTipField.
