I am saving a list of dynamically created ASPxRadioButtonList(s) in a hidden input that gets filled in a callbackpanel, SO that when a user checks a checkbox to ENABLE all, I can loop through all these RBL's and enable them on the client side.
However, I cannot figure out how to convert my string name of the control "audit-Something" to the actual control so that I can check the Enabled list item... here's an image of what I have:
I keep getting the error: Object doesn't support property or method 'SetValue'
Thoughts?
I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but I will try to help. If not please post relevant part of server side code.
If you have ASPxRadioButtonList names in hidden field than do this:
Set ASPxRadioButtonList ClientInstanceName on server side. Every ASPxRadioButtonList should have different ClientInstanceName value. Save those clientinstancenames in you hidden.
Then:
for(var i = 0; i < auditControls.length; i++) {
var clientInstanceName = auditControls[i];
window[clientInstanceName].SetEnabled(true);
}
This will enable all radiobuttonlist controls.

Following these two threads:
How can I create an Array of Controls in C#.NET?
Cannot Access the Controls inside an UpdatePanel
I current have this:
ControlCollection[] currentControlsInUpdatePanel = new ControlCollection[upForm.Controls.Count];
foreach (Control ctl in ((UpdatePanel)upForm).ContentTemplateContainer.Controls)
{
currentControlsInUpdatePanel.
}
currentControlsInUpdatePanel does not have an add or insert method. why does the first link i post allow that user to .add to his collection. This is what I want to do, find all the controls in my upForm update panel. but i dont see how i can add it to my collection of controls.
I don't think this code makes sense. You are creating an array of ControlCollection objects and trying to store Control objects in it. Furthermore, since currentControlsInUpdatePanel object is an array, there will not be an Add() method available on that object.
If you want to use the Add() method, try creating currentControlsInUpdatePanel as a List object.
Example:
List<Control> currentControlsInUpdatePanel = new List<Control>();
foreach(Control ctl in ((UpdatePanel)upForm).ContentTemplateContainer.Controls)
{
currentControlsInUpdatePanel.Add(ctl);
}
If you want to continue to use an array to store the Control objects, you will need to use the index value to set your objects in the array.
Example:
Control[] currentControlsInUpdatePanel = new Control[((UpdatePanel)upForm).ContentTemplateContainer.Controls.Count];
for(int i = 0; i < upForm.Controls.Count; i++)
{
currentControlsInUpdatePanel[i] = ((UpdatePanel)upForm).ContentTemplateContainer.Controls[i];
}
The UpdatePanel's child controls collection is a special collection that contains only one child control: its template container. It is then that control that contains all the child controls of the UpdatePanel (such as a GridView or Button).
As it is noted in the other questions linked to in the question, walking the child control tree recursively is the best way to go. Then, when you've found the spot to which you need to add controls, call Controls.Add() in that place.
My suggestion would be a different approach: place an <asp:PlaceHolder> control in the UpdatePanel and give it a name and add controls to that. There should be no particular advantage to accessing the controls collection of the UpdatePanel itself, and then you wouldn't have to dig through implementation details of the controls (which, while they are unlikely to change, can make code much more difficult to read).
Try to use
ControlCollection collection = ((UpdatePanel)upForm).ContentTemplateContainer.Controls;
This gives you all the controls in that control collection. From there you can use CopyTo to copy it to the array you need:
Control[] controls = new Control[collection.Length];
collection.CopyTo(controls , 0);
I have login page, once logged in I create a session variable to store the UserName.
I've used this variable to retrieve info for this User from Account table with AccountID, name etc and I return the AccountID on the page using a label (lblAccountID).
I have a button to "Add Funds" to this account, which redirects to the AddFunds.aspx page
How can I pass the AccountID into the AddFunds.aspx page which will be used to insert details into Funds table which has the AccountID.
I don't want the AccountID to be visible on the AddFunds.aspx page.
there are multiple ways to achieve this. i can explain you in brief about the 4 types which we use in our daily programming life cycle.
Please go through the below points.
1 Query String.
FirstForm.aspx.cs
Response.Redirect(“SecondForm.aspx?Parameter=” + TextBox1.Text);
SecondForm.aspx.cs
TextBox1.Text = Request. QueryString["Parameter"].ToString();
This is the most reliable way when you are passing integer kind of value or other short parameters.More advance in this method if you are using any special characters in the value while passing it through query string, you must encode the value before passing it to next page. So our code snippet of will be something like this:
FirstForm.aspx.cs
Response.Redirect(“SecondForm.aspx?Parameter=” + Server.UrlEncode(TextBox1.Text));
SecondForm.aspx.cs
TextBox1.Text = Server.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["Parameter"].ToString());
2. Passing value through context object
Passing value through context object is another widely used method.
FirstForm.aspx.cs
TextBox1.Text = this.Context.Items["Parameter"].ToString();
SecondForm.aspx.cs
this.Context.Items["Parameter"] = TextBox1.Text;
Server.Transfer(“SecondForm.aspx”, true);
Note that we are navigating to another page using Server.Transfer instead of Response.Redirect.Some of us also use Session object to pass values. In that method, value is store in Session object and then later pulled out from Session object in Second page.
3. Posting form to another page instead of PostBack
Third method of passing value by posting page to another form. Here is the example of that:
FirstForm.aspx.cs
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
buttonSubmit.Attributes.Add(“onclick”, “return PostPage();”);
}
And we create a javascript function to post the form.
SecondForm.aspx.cs
function PostPage()
{
document.Form1.action = “SecondForm.aspx”;
document.Form1.method = “POST”;
document.Form1.submit();
}
TextBox1.Text = Request.Form["TextBox1"].ToString();
Here we are posting the form to another page instead of itself. You might get viewstate invalid or error in second page using this method. To handle this error is to put EnableViewStateMac=false
4. Another method is by adding PostBackURL property of control for cross page post back
In ASP.NET 2.0, Microsoft has solved this problem by adding PostBackURL property of control for cross page post back. Implementation is a matter of setting one property of control and you are done.
FirstForm.aspx.cs
<asp:Button id=buttonPassValue style=”Z-INDEX: 102″ runat=”server” Text=”Button” PostBackUrl=”~/SecondForm.aspx”></asp:Button>
SecondForm.aspx.cs
TextBox1.Text = Request.Form["TextBox1"].ToString();
In above example, we are assigning PostBackUrl property of the button we can determine the page to which it will post instead of itself. In next page, we can access all controls of the previous page using Request object.
You can also use PreviousPage class to access controls of previous page instead of using classic Request object.
SecondForm.aspx
TextBox textBoxTemp = (TextBox) PreviousPage.FindControl(“TextBox1″);
TextBox1.Text = textBoxTemp.Text;
As you have noticed, this is also a simple and clean implementation of passing value between pages.
Reference: "How to: Pass Values Between ASP.NET Web Pages"
You need to store it in a session variable:
int AccountIdVar;
Session["AccountID"] = AccountIdVar;
then you can retrieve later by
int AccountIdVar = (int)Session["AccountID"];
You can either use the session variable you stored in the previous page as it should still be accessible or another way is to pass the id over via a querystring such as www.foofoofoo.com?Id=23456.
As the others said, you can use Session or Querystring values. You can also just POST to the new page
The How To Pass Values Between Pages page is worth looking at too.
The MSDN article about Pass Values Between ASP.NET Web Pages is the best place to look for.
For this we can also use Global variable, create a module class in that declare all variables with public data type, then assign the values. Once the value is assigned it can be accessed from anywhere.
I have an enum called SiteTypes that contains several values that are all bound to a dropdown list. On the client side, I need to check this dropdown to see if the selected value is one of those enum values. I don't want to hardcode the value of the enum in the script in case it needs to change, so I want to use a server tag to get it directly from the enum itself. Conecptually, I would like to do this:
function SiteIdChanged() {
var x = "<%=SiteTypes.Employee %>";
}
The way I am doing it now is created a protected property in the codebehind that returns that specific enum value and am doing this:
function SiteIdChanged() {
var x = "<%=EmployeeSiteTypeValue %>";
}
I don't like that, though, because I have to create a special property on every page that I need to do such a check.
Is there a way to do what I want here?
Are you getting a "xxx is inaccessible due to its protection level" error when you compile or run the page? enums are public by default, classes are not. My guess is that you've defined your enum inside your page's class and you aren't explicitly marking it with the 'public' access modifier. Explicitly mark it as public or move it outside of the class and see what happens. If you're planning on using it on lots of pages you should stick the enum definition in in a file in the App_Code folder of your project.
If you don't like your current implementation I would consider using a PageMethod to compare the dropdown selection to the enum value. This approach will probably be cleaner, as you can do most of the logic server-side.
Here's a tutorial on PageMethods:
http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/gilf/archive/2008/10/04/asp-net-ajax-pagemethods.aspx
As long as your enum is marked public, you can just go with your first option. There's no need to put a property on every single page you want to retrieve the value from.
That approach is really the simplest solution for writing out server side values in your JavaScript.
You can use the Enum.IsDefined Method this well tell you if the selected value from the dropdown is actually part of your enum.
Enum.IsDefined(typeof(MyEnum), myValue)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.enum.isdefined.aspx
I have a list that I need to bind to a List I get from an API. The list looks like this:
struct DataItem { int level; string name; Guid key };
List<DataItem> myList = API.GetList();
ListView1.DataSource = myList;
ListView1.DataBind();
All this works fine for display. However, the table must edit the level value. I am unsure how to make that happen. I have tried event handlers on the listView, but they are never called. I have tried a text box for the level field (with both Bind and Eval) and an event handler OnTextChanged, but the event handler is never called. (I have tried with various combiniations of AutoPostBack and ViewState enabled.)
How can I programatically edit this data structure?
Two way data binding you are trying to implement here won't work like this - List doesn't implement INotifyPropertyChanged (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
You may consider using a plain old DataTable which can be two-way-bound out-of-the-box. If performance is not a highly critical issue, converting your List to a DataTable (and back, depending on what you want to do with the modified data) is simple enough, rather than struggling with custom implementations of list types.
This seems really simple, but for some reason Im stumped..
Im dynamically generating an HTML Select Box, lets call it myselect. Im creating this select box based on some database values Im generating an HTML Select Box.. almost like a string that Im just spitting out to the page. So it's never a control in the codebehind, just part of a string thats rendered as HTML by the browser. If I submit my form, and in my codebehind I perform:
Dim myVal as String = Request.Form("myselect")
That code will give me the VALUE of the myselect select box. How can I refer to this control to cast it as a System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlSelect control? Request.Form seems to give me the value, but I want to reference the object itself..
If this select box isn't declared statically on your page (that is, you're adding it to the Control Collection), you'll have to do something like this: Dim MySelect as HtmlSelect = Page.FindControl("MySelect") as HtmlSelect
You'll have to forgive me if my casting syntax is a bit off -- I'm used to casting in C#.
If your dynamically generating the control in your code file, then it will not be available to you on post back. As long as you generate it again before the viewstate is processed (you can do it in your oninit), then you can access it as you would anything else.
MySelect.SelectedValue
In response to the comments above (thanks for your help), I found what Gabriel McAdams and jwiscarson had to say were true. In browsing the Request object, I found that its nothing more than a collection of key\value pairs. Performing Request.Form("myformobj") will return a value, because thats all thats available to the application. If necessary, I suppose I can whip up some nifty javascript to track form object types, but it's certainly not necessary in my case.
Thanks for the help
