I'd like to create email dialog that has several inputs including message textbox plus some other custom info. I'd like it to display center screen over top of main page setting the opacity to like 50%.
do i create the pop up as anohter aspx page or panel?
Not sure what to use here, z-index, modalPopupExtender, Javascript, jquery. looking for easy and something stable.
I would look into the ModalPopupExtender in the AJAX Toolkit.
You can also try creating the dialog with jQuery. If you decide to go that route, check out the jQuery UI dialog:

i am at starter level in asp.net i was developing a small application just to add students to database, main reason was to use update panel but when I use AsyncPostBack trigger the dropdown box does not render properly but with normal PostBack it does I am assuming i am missing out something the code has nothing special i just used and inside and here is an image that can describe it better
here is a link screenshot of what's happening : http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/842/dfpw.png/
Are you using any Jquery plugin to make normal dropdownlist as fancy as looking in the screenshot attached.. if that is the case call the same plugin in the pageLoad() function too as after partial postback happens, the dropdown looses it's appearance and looking like normal dropdownlist.

Think about using an IFrame to achieve this, from the sounds of what you are talking an IFrame would suffice and provided the needed functionality.
<iframe src="YOUR PAGE HERE"></iframe>
There's a lot more you can do with it, these are just the tags to get you going.
I am using the MultiView server control in one web page using Update Panel. In its second view, I have a GridView; whose first column is checkboc controls including the header.
I want to toggle the data items checkbox based on the header checkbox.
For this, I wrote a Jquery function. But the main issue is, When I try to view the page source, I was not able to find out the HTML for the second view.
How could I toggle the checkbox using Jquery or Javascript?
The reason you can't see the HTML source is that the MultiView is a ASP.NET server control and it only renders the currently selected view to the browser.
Use FireBug. After you toggle the view and the HTML is updated, you'll see the current source so you can debug the jQuery.
I'm looking for the simplest way of popping a modal search window on top of an ASP.NET 3.5 application to look up values for a field. I've got a screen for users to add courses; users need to be able to choose an instructor by searching for instructors in a popup.
So - the popup would have a textbox and a gridview with results; clicking the "choose" button in a result would populate the instructor field on the calling form.
What's the simplest way to achieve this?
Try using jQuery inside a UserControl with something like the tutorial from yensdesign.
The UserControl I created with this approach provided the user the option to set their preferences for the site. I found with this approach it was easier to control the interaction between the modal window and the calling window than calling a new popup browser window. One also doesn't have to worry about popup blockers getting in the way.
Is this helpful or are you looking for more detail?
A very simple approach would be to add javascript to your page to popup a new browser window dialog, something like this:
function fnFieldSearch(searchURL)
{
var wndSearch = window.open(searchURL,"SearchPopup","toolbar=yes,width=600,height=400,directories=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=no");
wndSearch.focus();
}
On the modal search page, use javascript to send the search value back:
window.opener.document.FormName.ControlName.value = 'whatever';
I was wondering if there is way to open another page using a Modal Popup Extender?
and if there is can someone please the tell me how do i go about doing it ..
Thanx
Owais
You could probably put an iframe pointing to the page within the Modal Popup Extender, however that would be a bit of a hack. I would recommend putting whatever content on that page into a user control and then referencing that control from both the original page and the page with the modal popup.
Try using an HTML iframe as the target control of the extender. The iframe tag has a "src" attribute that should point to the page you want to show in the dialog.
You have to think about it w/o the illusion - fundamentally the modal popup is just a DIV. So the question is "can you display a different page in a div?". Iframe... or perhaps a webservice call.
you can use a user control and load it dynamically into the modal popup
Dim ctrl As Control
ctrl = Me.Page.LoadControl("~/control/cmsbar.ascx")
ctrl.id="ctrlx"
Placeholder1.Controls.Add(ctrl)
popup.Show()
note that the popup will have a placeholder to add the control to. you must give the user control an id so the viewstate can be loaded for the control . this code must be placed in the Page_Init event so when the user control is created for the second time it loads its view state
