I would like to know how to create a RecaptchaControl template on my ASP.NET site.
I need to change the HTML of the control to fit RTL layout.
Here is the code for the control:
<%# Register TagPrefix="recaptcha" Namespace="Recaptcha" Assembly="Recaptcha" %>
<recaptcha:RecaptchaControl
ID="recaptcha"
Theme="custom"
runat="server"
PublicKey="YYYYYYY"
PrivateKey="XXXXXXX"
/>
I know this is a late reply, but probably the simplest way to go about this would be to use the CustomThemeWidget property of the recaptchacontrol. Here is a great tutorial on using it:
http://www.onequarterenglish.co.uk/using-a-custom-recaptcha-in-asp-net
Appeaars that there are some issues with rtl and recaptcha - this link pertain to drupal
but it seems with custom themeing it may be posible. I am unsure how you would imleent it with a server control. You might have to dive into the source

I want to use page templating in ASP.Net (Visual Studio 2012 with .Net 4.0).
The base page emits the basic template inclusive of the body, html, form, and other tags. That means the rendered pages just have what goes inside the body part. The template adds the header and footer. Although I have not finalized a design, I am looking at a concept documented here. (Yes, I know that coding practice is to not give links to pages, which can go away, but I do not want to side track the question.)
The part of each page is:
<%# Page language="c#" Codebehind="AdvancedPageInheritance.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="PageInheritanceSample.AdvancedPageInheritance" %>
Anything after that first line is part of the body.
If I drag and drop controls onto the form, VS2012 emits code such as:
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox2" runat="server" OnCheckedChanged="CheckBox1_CheckedChanged" />
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button" />
VS2012 automagically emits the warning, "Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'asp'."
One thought is to simply add in the body stuff programatically, but that is a page. I rather use the GUI.
How can I avoid the warning? Is there a better way to do templates? That author wrote the article 10-years ago, so things might have changed since then. The warnings are understandable, but in error, as there is a form, body, and html tags, just not directly visible.
(I just answered my question by catching a phrase in Vs2012 and researching it a bit. Master Pages are the answer. Obviously, Microsoft must have added that with either VS2008 or VS2010. I will leave this post, as others, like me, may not know the concept "Master Page" and may reserach page templates, just like I did. I hope that this post says other people time. Google should hopefully pick up on ASP.Net and Page Templates.)
Ideally you would use the MasterPage for laying out your main template.
Your Content pages would then have the appropriate <asp:Content /> controls, where you add your content. To add a content page you would add a new 'Web Form' item in Visual Studio and, by selecting the 'Select Master Page' checkbox, you can choose the master page the content page should use.
See Here for a tutorial on Master Pages
Then you would use a BasePage for site-wide code; for example anything that has logic needed on most pages. Your Content pages would inherit this BasePage
As a side-note, see this page Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'asp' in VS2012 with regards to your "Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'asp'." message
Is it possible to use MVC Helpers in webpages (cshtml) ?
I'm trying out some controls from infragistics, and would like to use the html helper method to create the grid (avoiding some javascript) but I can't seem to get any intellisense.
No, I'm unsure if it should work?
Update: I want to use the following line:
#Html.Infragistics().Grid(....
inside my MyWebPagesPage.cshtml
Thanks for any help
Larsi
You should be able to, just add
#using infrajistics.namespace
You could also add the namespace to ur web.config namespaces section so that you don't have to add the #using in each view
There are no helper method that would render Infragistics controls. Please take a look at this page, it has detailed instructions of using Infragistics controls in MVC pages.
There are some limitations though. Infragistics doesn't have separate controls for MVC, they are simply making their asp.net controls available, but there's a drawback.
As long as you focus on areas of the controls that do not initiate post backs or rely on ViewState, you soon find many behaviors and functions that work perfectly in an ASP.NET MVC application.
Sample usage would be:
<%# Register Assembly="Infragistics.Web.Mvc" Namespace="Infragistics.Web.Mvc" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
<%# Register Assembly="Infragistics35.Web.v9.1, Version=9.1.20091.1015, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7dd5c3163f2cd0cb"
Namespace="Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls" TagPrefix="ig" %>
<ig:WebDataGrid ID="wdg"
runat="server" Width="50%"
EnableViewState="false">
</ig:WebDataGrid>
No MVC helpers involved.
The following code imports an HTML page (which simply holds one table) into my .ASP page. This works great, but I now am converting into .NET and am having obstacles.
<% Response.Write(getFilesContent("table.htm")) %>
This code does not work in .NET, and I read that this method is not recommended or widely used? Are there any thoughts, advice, or solutions about this?
I simply want to import this HTML page to read in a content box within my .NET page. In essence, the .NET page is hosting the HTML table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
To get you started, take a look at the System.Net.WebClient class http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient%28v=vs.80%29.aspx
In particular, the "DownloadXXX" methods.
You could put the table in an asp.net user control
A asp.net custom user control can act like an include that encapsulates asp.net
markup.
here is a tutorial:
http://ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/excerpt/progaspdotnet_14/index1.html
After you create the control add a reference
<%#Register tagprefix="uc" Tagname="html" src="custom_html.ascx" %>
then just a the control markup (in this case <uc:html runat="server"/>)
It would be cool the create a control the reads an html file by adding a src property
Try this:
<% Response.Write(New StreamReader(Server.MapPath("~/table.htm")).ReadToEnd()) %>
This is my layout template (ascx without code behind)
<%# Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="ws.helpers.LayoutUC" %>
<div>blah blah blah</div>
<ws:Panel runat="server" ID="left"></ws:Panel>
<ws:Panel runat="server" ID="main"></ws:Panel>
<ws:Panel runat="server" ID="right"></ws:Panel>
Modules will be added into ws:Panel later.
I also allow my user create their own ascx file to custom their page layout. And because of this i do a string replace all dangerous part like script tag (runat="server"), all asp.net html tag, <%, <%#, <#.... from their custom.
Im not worry about XSS, so dont comment on it, and ask why?
I want know your thinking about this. Is is safe? Is it scalable? Is it standard or a bad way?
Have a look at the INaminingContainer Interface http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.inamingcontainer.aspx.
<asp:YourControl>
<LeftColumn>
<asp:Literal ID="literal1" runat="server" Text="User created literal" />
</LeftColumn>
</asp:YourControl>
In the .ascx from the users, they register your control and insert asp.net code into properties. In the 'YourControl' class you create placeholders and insert the markup set to a specific property into these placeholders. (e.g. everything between <LeftColumn> and </LeftColumn> will the inserted into
<asp:Placeholder ID="PlaceholderLeftColumn" runat="server"/>
Edit: I summed some of the TemplateContainer issue up and posted it here: http://www.tomot.de/en-us/article/2/asp.net/how-to-create-an-asp.net-control-that-behaves-as-a-template-container-to-nest-content-via-markup
You are allowing user-uploaded content; this is inherently unsafe and there are whole books dedicated to best practices. Given that you are doing it anyway, as long as you make sure you scrub the input, is it scalable? You are allowing creation of user-uploaded files on your site. How many will there be? How many users? What about load-balancing? This solution will not scale for many users, files, or servers.
It sounds like you are trying to create a simple CMS. Why not use one that exists currently, or adopt parts of an open source solution?
Is it possible to use an ASP.NET web.sitemap with a jQuery Superfish menu?
If not, are there any standards based browser agnostic plugins available that work with the web.sitemap file?
I found this question while looking for the same answer... everyone says it's possible but no-one gives the actual solution! I seem to have it working now so thought I'd post my findings...
Things I needed:
Superfish which also includes a version of jQuery
CSS Friendly Control Adaptors download DLL and .browsers file (into /bin and /App_Browsers folders respectively)
ASP.NET SiteMap (a .sitemap XML file and siteMap provider entry in web.config)
My finished Masterpage.master has the following head tag:
<head runat="server">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/script/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/script/superfish.js"></script>
<link href="~/css/superfish.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" runat="server" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('ul.AspNet-Menu').superfish();
});
</script>
</head>
Which is basically all the stuff needed for the jQuery Superfish menu to work. Inside the page (where the menu goes) looks like this (based on these instructions):
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource" runat="server"
ShowStartingNode="false" />
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server"
DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource"
Orientation="Horizontal" CssClass="sf-menu">
</asp:Menu>
Based on the documentation, this seems like it SHOULD work - but it doesn't. The reason is that the CssClass="sf-menu" gets overwritten when the Menu is rendered and the <ul> tag gets a class="AspNet-Menu". I thought the line $('ul.AspNet-Menu').superfish(); would help, but it didn't.
ONE MORE THING
Although it is a hack (and please someone point me to the correct solution) I was able to get it working by opening the superfish.css file and search and replacing sf-menu with AspNet-Menu... and voila! the menu appeared. I thought there would be some configuration setting in the asp:Menu control where I could set the <ul> class but didn't find any hints via google.
Yes, it is totally possible.
I have used it with the ASP:Menu control and jQuery 1.2.6 with the Superfish plugin. Note, you will need the ASP.NET 2.0 CSS Friendly Control Adapters.
ASP.NET generates the ASP:Menu control as a table layout. The CSS Friendly Control Adapter will make ASP.NET generate the ASP:Menu control as a UL/LI layout inside a div.
This will allow easy integration of the jQuery and Superfish plugin because the Superfish plugin relies on a UL/LI layout.
It looks like you need to generate a UL for Superfish. You should be able to do this with ASP.Net from your site map. I think the site map control will do something like this. If not, it should be pretty trivial to call the site map directly from C# and generate the DOM programmatically. You could build a user control to do this, or do it in the master page.
Check out this MSDN article on how to programmatically enumerate the nodes in your site map.
Remember to add css classes for NonLink elements. Superfish css elements don't acccont for them. And if you're like me and have root menu's that are not links, then it renders horribly. Just add AspNet-Menu-NonLink elements to the superfish.css file and it should render fine.
The SiteMapDataSource control should be able to bind to any hierarchical data bound control. I'm not familiar with superfish but I know there are plenty of jQueryish controls out there to do this.
I created a neat little sample project you can use at http://simplesitemenu.codeplex.com/
It is a composite control which generates a nested UL/LI listing from your sitemap.
Enjoy!
