Styling the AsyncFileUpload control - asp.net

I have been trying to format the AsyncFileUpload control for a while now and i just canĀ“t figure out a way of how to do it. I tried some method that are efective when styling the common input type and the ASP.NET Web Forms FileUpload control, like setting opacity to 0 and hiding the browse button on top of some other element, but none of those techniques seem to be working effectively on the AsyncFileUpload. Does any one have some kind of method to apply some styling to this control? Thanks.

Not sure of this is what you are looking for but I hope it helps

DataPager with <a> on current page number instead of Label

I have a DataPager working fine except for one thing: the current page number is rendered with a Label and I need it to be as innertext for an <a> tag.
Is there a way to do this?
One way would be to subclass DataPager and override Render.
EDIT: Better yet, use a WebControlAdapter.
Customizes rendering for the Web control to which the control adapter
is attached, to modify the default markup or behavior for specific
browsers.
EDIT: Also please see ASP.NET: Can I somehow change the HTML rendered by NumericPagerField?.

Is it possible to have dropdownmenu in place of dropdownlist in asp.net? whenever user moves mouse over that control it should display items in it

i have dropdownlists in my asp.net web site, now i want to switch them into something like menu and its items should look like menu items, at mouseover event items in that control should be displayed, is it possible to achieve? how?
It is very well possible using javascript/jquery and setting the css to give it the placing and affects you feel like. You will many such examples googling it out....one such is: http://www.queness.com/post/1047/easy-to-style-jquery-drop-down-menu-tutorial
If you like to convert an existin dropDownList to a menou like I know the the Linkselect jQuery plug-in but also I know a similar from Yahoo User Interface Library
jQuery or other library is strongly suggested for a complex conversion like that, at least the examples I know use a library.

Custom tooltip on Controls

I wanted to use a similar tooltip as is displayed when we over the videos on this ASP.NET Ajax site.
http://www.asp.net/ajax/videos
Which control is this? Is it the animation control?
How to use a similar tootlip on my controls?
It's possibly the Popup Control from the Ajax Control Toolikit, but not necessarily. This is very simple to do with css and javascript using a hidden div element and a mouseover event.
There's some sample code you can use here: http://www.willmaster.com/blog/css/floating-layer-at-cursor-position.php
There are a lot of Jquery plug-ins that will do similar things.
Here's an example of one - http://code.drewwilson.com/entry/tiptip-jquery-plugin

ComponentArt grid; javaScript; Aspx MasterPage

I have a ComponentArt grid that I'm editing with a pop editing dialog. I pass values between the grid and the dialog using javascript. All was well until I put the page containing the grid inside a MasterPage; I got some errors because of naming containers and fixed them, but it looks like ComponentArt's DataGrid is still looking for something it can't find, because it's blowing up in their javascript.
Question: Has anyone had a ComponentArt DataGrid blow up inside a master page before, and if so, what did you do about it?
Known issue with ComponentArt Grids inside other controls, having to do with the dialog animation. ComponentArt representative:
This sounds like a known bug with the
dialog (D6098 in our system)- the live
animation type can error if the
control is within a control (say, a
user control, or in your case a
content control). Until the bug is
resolved you'll need to change the
animation type. I'm very sorry for the
trouble.
Here's the forum post.
Meanwhile, it looks like changing the animation is the only fix.

Custom ASP.NET control inherited from the GridView control is not rendering style(s) (e.g. AlternatingRowStyle.BackColor)

I'm having a bit of an unusual problem with an extended version of the ASP.NET GridView control that I am working. It is rendering all of the text applied to it just fine, but is not rendering any the style properties that are set. For example, if I set the AlternatingRowStyle to use a gray background, the gray background is not being rendered. However, if I pass the same data set and property to the vanilla GridView control, the background is rendered correctly.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Wild guess: are your styles defined as themes?
Alright, I'm sure this should have been obvious at first, but after using the class debugging technique of "comment stuff until it starts working" I managed to isolate the issue to being due to having data binding column generation code in RenderContents. Which leads me to believe that I was missing a call in that code, but the code to OnPreRender corrected the issue.
