FileUpload1.HasFile is False - asp.net

I tried to search for the problem in the internet and I see everyone is asking about the problem for FileUpload control inside the UpdatePanel. First of all, I am not using an UpdatePanel. Below is my code:
HTML
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" method="post" runat="server" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fuImport" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnImport" runat="server" Text="Import" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Code Behind
Protected Sub btnImport_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnImport.Click
If (fuImport.HasFile) Then
fuImport.SaveAs(My.Settings.FileImportPath & Path.GetFileName(fuImport.FileName))
End If
End Sub
I see that fuImport.HasFile is False, but fuImport.FileName gives just the file name. For e.g., if I choose c:\1.txt, it gives just "1.txt".
Can anybody let me know why fuImport.HasFile is False though I have chosen a file?

I found the answer. The txt file I was uploading was empty. I edited the text file and then saved by typing something in it. I could not find this anywhere mentioned in the msdn or I am not sure whether I was looking at a wrong place. The suggestion by Kasys in this post helped me.

Placeholder Code still visible when "view source code", even though placeholder visible property set to false from code behind

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="pnlThanks" runat="server" Visible="false">
<p><asp:Literal ID="lblReceipt" runat="server"></asp:Literal></p>
</asp:PlaceHolder>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="pnlForm" runat="server" Visible="true">
<form id="form1" runat="server" class="busgroup-form">
//// All form controls
</form>
</asp:PlaceHolder>
Code Behind file:
Protected Sub submit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles cmdsubmit.Click
form1.Controls.Clear()
pnlForm.Visible = False
pnlThanks.Visible = True
End Sub
So, after submitting form when "pnlThanks" placeholder is visible, I can see proper contents displayed on page. But when I do "view source" on the browser, I see the source code for form and not the content inside "pnlThanks" placeholder.
What am I doing wrong ?
You need to have all of your controls within the <form> tag, because ASP.NET depends upon the form to do postbacks, etc.
You can only have one <form> tag in your page.
Change your code to this:
<form id="form1" runat="server" class="busgroup-form">
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="pnlThanks" runat="server" Visible="false">
<p><asp:Literal ID="lblReceipt" runat="server"></asp:Literal></p>
</asp:PlaceHolder>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="pnlForm" runat="server" Visible="true">
</asp:PlaceHolder>
</form>
Your code works as expected when I tested it. My guess is there is another pnlForm.Visible = True in your code elsewhere that is executed on your postback.
pnlThanks isn't rendered if visible=false, therefore it won't show in the source. You can use CSS (display=none) to hide it on start and change when needed.

jQuery Load Result form another page ASP.NET

i am using this way to bind ASP.NET GridView Without postback.
i want to know what are the problems of this way?
what are the alternative ways?
here is my code :
<input id="btnLoadDIV" type="button" value="button" />
<div id="somediv">
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnLoadDIV").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var url;
url = "test.aspx?type=test1";
$("#somediv").load(url);
});
});
</script>
Test.aspx BehindCode Code :
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Request.QueryString("type") = "test1" Then
bindgrid()
End If
End Sub
Test.Aspx markup code :
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
</asp:GridView>
</form>
</body>
</html>
thanks. regards.
Some basic things you ought to be aware of:
The page will fully execute it's life cycle even if only part of the page is being updated.
Grid views have a horrible footprint and I haven't used them in a long time because of it.
Potential alternatives:
Use a generic handler (.ashx) for running your ajax requests.
If you really want to use ajax on a grid view you might want to read this: http://mattberseth.com/blog/2007/05/7_simple_steps_to_ajaxenable_y.html
Your way is fine. The only thing I would do differently is I would pass the URL's parameters as second argument to $.load. I just feel it is neater:
$("#somediv").load("test.aspx", {type: "test1"});

UpdatePanel seems to re-encode characters in the page title?

I have pages with special characters in the title for proper typography, for example it says Exchange ‘07 Groups" with a proper apostrophe, not a single quote. The HTML entity for the apostrophe is ‘
So, I've found that if I set the page title from VB, the title displays just fine, but as soon as an update panel updates that HTML entity gets re-encoded and displays incorrectly as "Exchange ‘07 Groups"
So here's my code where I simply set the page title, then an update panel, and a button to update it...
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub Page_Load(...) Handles Me.Load
Page.Title = "Exchange ‘07 Groups"
End Sub
Protected Sub uxLnkDoClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
uxLitLoaded.Text = "Loaded!"
End Sub
</script>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head runat="server"></head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="uxLnkDo" OnClick="uxLnkDoClick" Text="Do Something" />
<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="uxLitLoaded" />
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="uxLnkDo" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</form>
</body>
</html>
What can be done about this?
In your code to set the page title, wrap the text in Server.HtmlDecode:
Page.Title = Server.HtmlDecode("Exchange ‘07 Groups")
I had the same situation with the SM (service mark, as opposed to TM for trademark) which we did setting the page title with Page.Title = "My Company &#8480"; . It reencoded it upon postback.
What we did is in the page head we statically added it
< title >My Company ℠< /title >
Worked like a charm.
The reason it displays it incorrectly is because .Net is attempting to be safe and HTML encode the title (for prevention of the multiple types of attacks that are possible).
In ASP.Net MVC, you can now use the Html.Raw() method. As far as straight ASP.net, I don't know what the method would be.
add this check
if(!Page.IsPostBack)
{
Page.Title = "Exchange ‘07 Groups"
}
or you can simply set the title property in html if its not dynamic!

ASP.NET/HTML input button value on postback

According to the info in:
Which values browser collects as a postback data?
the value of the HTML input button is sent in a post back. I'm testing in ASP.NET with IE and I am not finding this to be the case.
The markup for my test case is:
<%# Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Test.aspx.vb" Inherits="Test" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>test postback</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doTest() {
var button = document.getElementById("btnTest");
button.value = "new-value";
alert("button contents = " + button.value);
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="myForm" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlTest" runat="server"
DefaultButton="btnTest">
Textbox:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtTest" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnTest" runat="server"
Text="change" OnClientClick="doTest()" />
</asp:Panel>
</div>
</form>
The code behind is:
Partial Class Test
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
txtTest.Text = btnTest.Text
End Sub
End Class
My result is that the value of the input button is always "change" when the browser loads the page, but I was expecting it to be "new-value" after postback. The Javascript doTest() function is changing the value when the button is clicked.
Is there something more I'm supposed to do for ASP.NET or IE to get the input button value posted back? Or is the information about this functionality
wrong?
In a case like this I would probably use:
<input type="button" ID="btnTest" runat="server" onclick="doTest()" value="change" />
Note the runat="server".
While asp:button probably renders similarly, if what you really want it an HTML button input, you can use that. Yes, ASP.NET will pick up the value on the server side.
Also, do a view source and make sure the ASP.NET panel is not munging up the ID of the input. More generally, have you tested this without the asp:panel tag? I wonder if that affects anything.
I believe IE just hates input submits....
But you should also know...
ASP uses viewstate to ensure there is no tampering with server controls. The value of the submit button is stored in the view state and most likely the only way to modify the value of it is to use the ASP.NET JS API.
More commonly you see this problem with <selects> (Options added to by javascript lost in postback), but <input type="submit" /> is very similar
It's not that it's not being set, but the javascript sets the value, which gets reset back to "change" on the postback. If you're looking for a button that works with your javascript, use the client input control:
<input type="button" ID="btnTest" onclick="doTest()" />
Otherwise, if you want a server control, you should set btnTest.Text on the server side.
You are using the wrong id for the button. ASP.NET gives each control a unique id. It is made up of all the ids in the chain to your control.
Therefore your button probably has an id something like ctl00_pnlTest_btnTest. This is why your JavaScript is not setting the buttons text.
view source in your browser to see the actual ID of the control and adjust your JavaScript accordingly.
From code you can get the actual ID used in the page with the ClientID property. So you could change your JavaScript to:
var button = document.getElementById("<%= btnTest.ClientID %>");
Just tried Marc's solution like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function doTest() {
var button = document.getElementById("btnTest1");
button.value = "new-value";
alert("button contents = " + button.value);
return true;
}
</script>
<input type="submit" id="btnTest1" name="btnTest1" value="Submit 1" runat="server" onclick="doTest()" />
When I posted back the Load event still had Submit 1 as the value of the button. You could use a hidden field, set that value with the button in JS and post back. That does in fact work.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>test postback</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doTest() {
var button = document.getElementById("btnTest1");
button.value = "new-value";
alert("button contents = " + button.value);
var hdn = document.getElementById("hdnTextboxName");
hdn.value = button.value;
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="myForm" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlTest" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnTest">
Textbox:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtTest" runat="server" /><asp:HiddenField ID="hdnTextboxName" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" />
<asp:Button ID="btnTest" runat="server" Text="change" OnClientClick="doTest()" ClientIDMode="Static" />
</asp:Panel>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
txtTest.Text = hdnTextboxName.Value
End Sub

asp.net dropdown list postback to anchor

How can I go to an anchor tag on the page when the myDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged() event fires?
I am using regular ASP.NET Forms.
Update: The following is valid for an ASP.NET Button. I would like to achieve the same functionality (going to #someAnchor) when I select an option from the Dropdown list.
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Do IT" Width="186px" PostBackUrl="#myAnchor" CausesValidation="false" />
Update: I will try to further explain details that I didn't cover in enough detail initially.
This is a long page and in the middle of the page there is a dropdown list. Below the dropdown list is a label that will change based on the item selected from the dropdown. The update of the label will occur during the postback. At this point the page needs to remain focused on the dropdown. I tried to use AJAX to accomplish this, but other implementation details prevent that from working. The ability to go to an anchor tag after the postback would be a simple solution. Here is a simplified version of what I am trying to accomplish.
<%# Page Language="VB" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub myDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
myLabel.Text = myDropDown.SelectedValue
'When this finishes, go to #myAnchor
End Sub
</script>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
Imagine many lines of text here.
<a name="myAnchor"></a>
<asp:DropDownList ID="myDropDown" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="myDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged" asdf="asdf" PostBackUrl="#myAnchor"></asp:DropDownList>
<asp:Label ID="myLabel" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
This could do the trick
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server"
onchange="document.location= this.value">
<asp:ListItem Text="Anchor" Value="#anchor"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="Anchor2" Value="#anchor2"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
You mention myDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged() (server code) but you must do it on client side, unless you have a good reason to go to the server
Add this to your page load and you will be good to go.
Page.MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack = true;
I would use JavaScript--either register the script in your codebehind, or have an asp:Literal which is only visible after the SelectedIndexChanged event. Modify the location.href to append your anchor.
One way to do this is to use the forms.Controls bla bla bla properties in ASP.NET.
however I would suggest you to use a asp.net hyperlink control or link button and this would allow you to access it directly with its ID.
thanks,
MNK.
This requirement has simple javascript solution.But the problem is the design is flawed.Once you move to a new area in screen you cant access the navigation select list without scrolling back.Anyway something like the following works
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default3.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default3" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Goto(x) {
window.location = "#"+x.value;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select id="Select1" name="D1" onchange="Goto(this);">
<option value="Loc1" >go to 1 </option>
<option value="Loc2">go to 2 </option>
<option value="Loc3">go to 3 </option>
<option value="Loc4">go to 4 </option>
</select><form id="form1" runat="server">
</form>
<strong> <a href="#" id="Loc1" >Location 1</a></strong>
blah
<strong>Location 2</strong>
<strong>Location 3</strong>
<strong>Location 4</strong>
</body>
</html>
Here is what I have implemented to accomplish my desired result.
Protected Sub myDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles myDropDown.SelectedIndexChanged
Response.Redirect("Default.aspx?myDropDown=" & myDropDown.SelectedItem.Text.ToString.Trim & "#myAnchor")
End Sub
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
Dim myDropDownValue As String = Request.QueryString("myDropDown")
If myDropDownValue <> "" Then
myDropDown.Items.FindByText(myDropDownValue).Selected = True
Label1.Text = GetTextBasedOnDropDownSelection(myDropDownValue)
End If
End If
End Sub
If your dropdown list contains three items say for example:
Page1
Page2
Page3
Give the dropdownlist a property of AutoPostBack="true" and then in the dropdown OnSelectedIndexChanged method write the following:
if (DDl.SelectedIndex == 1) {
Response.Redirect("~/page1");
}
else if (DDl.SelectedIndex == 2) {
Response.Redirect("~/page2");
}
