How to locate the theme folder in Asp.net? - asp.net

I'm binding some image controls dynamically but don't set image URL. When I use a skin file and then set the SkinId, I get the following error:
The 'SkinId' property can only be set in or before the Page_PreInit event for static controls. For dynamic controls, set the property before adding it to the Controls collection.
How do I get a virtual theme's location?

Set the SkinId on the markup
<asp:Image runat="server" id="LogoImage" SkinId="LogoImage" />
To set it programatically you need to set it up on the PreInit event
public void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LogoImage.SkinID = "LogoImage";
}
And here is a blog post for setting the SkinId Programatically
http://blogs.conchango.com/simonevans/archive/2005/06/09/How-to-programmatically-assign-a-SkinID-to-a-control-while-using-a-master-page-in-ASP.net-2.0.aspx
Finally, if you are just looking for the folder, it depends on whether you are using a Theme or a StylesheetTheme.
var path = "~/App_Themes/" + Page.Theme + "/images";
var path = "~/App_Themes/" + Page.StylesheetTheme + "/images";
Update
If you doing this in a Grid use a custom binding method
<asp:Image runat="server" id="myImage" ImageUrl='<%# GetThemedImage(((Product)Container.DataItem).Image)%>' />
then in the code-behind
public string GetThemedImage(string image)
{
return "~/App_Themes/" + Page.Theme + "/images/" + image;
}

Get File ID in page after upload file by AsyncFileUpload(ajaxToolkit)

I am using AsyncFileUpload (ajaxToolkit) control for uploading image file from registration page. uploaded file content are store into DB. So I need to show my uploaded file in asp:image control by httphander like <asp:image id="imgLogo" runat="server" ImageUrl="Images.aspx/id=12" />. So how to do this.
Assuming you are storing the image as a byte[] in DB;
var data = new byte[1]; //Replace this with your values from DB
var mimeType = "application\pdf"; //Replace this with your values from DB
response.ContentType = mimeType ;
response.BinaryWrite(data);
This code should be placed in page_load in images.aspx after you have retrieved the values from the DB.
Your image page handler page_load method will be
Images.aspx
protected void Page_Load(sender s, eventagrs e){
var imagecontent= new byte[XXXX]; // Read DB content as bytes for the passed Id
response.ContentType = 'jpeg/gif/anything' ;
//this should be a valid MIME type saved in database
response.BinaryWrite(imagecontent);
}
Edit:
From your comments you are trying to update the image tag src value
from codebehind using Asp.Net Ajax.
If you want to do this, first make sure your page has access to view state
information about those image tags. This is not a big deal, you simply
wrap the image tags container panel/div with update panel.
So your ajax request will send the information about those viewstate and
push the partial update for those image container panel also.
I have reviewed many site and I got answer of this question..
http://www.mikeborozdin.com/post/AJAX-File-Upload-in-ASPNET-with-the-AsyncFileUpload-Control.aspx
<ajaxToolkit:AsyncFileUpload ID="afuCompanyLogo" runat="server"
OnClientUploadError="uploadError" OnClientUploadComplete="uploadComplete"
UploaderStyle="Modern" UploadingBackColor="#CCFFFF"

onuploadedcomplete="afuCompanyLogo_UploadedComplete" />
<asp:Image ID="imgCompanylogo" CssClass="imgCompanylogo" runat="server" Height="80px" Width="80px" AlternateText="" />
protected void afuCompanyLogo_UploadedComplete(object sender, AjaxControlToolkit.AsyncFileUploadEventArgs e)
{
if(afuCompanyLogo.HasFile)
{
FileManagementEntity fileManagementEntity = new FileManagementEntity();
FileManagement fileManagement = fileManagementEntity.Create();
fileManagement.FileContentType = afuCompanyLogo.ContentType;
fileManagement.FileContent = afuCompanyLogo.FileBytes;
fileManagement.Size = afuCompanyLogo.FileBytes.Count();
fileManagement.OriginalName = afuCompanyLogo.FileName;
fileManagementEntity.Save(fileManagement);
ViewState["logoID"] = fileManagement.FileManagementID;
imgCompanylogo.ImageUrl = "Image.aspx?id=" + fileManagement.FileManagementID.ToString();
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(afuCompanyLogo, afuCompanyLogo.GetType(), "img", "top.document.getElementById('" + imgCompanylogo.ClientID + "').src='Image.aspx?id=" + fileManagement.FileManagementID + "';", true);
}
}

Response.Redirect in DNN using CommandArguments

I have an imagebutton in ASCX file which code is
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButtonEdit" runat="server" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("ItemID") %>' ImageUrl="~/images/edit.gif" OnClick="ImageButtonEdit_Click" />`
and the behind code is
protected void ImageButtonEdit_Click(object sender, System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
ImageButton editing = (ImageButton)sender;
Response.Redirect(Globals.NavigateURL(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID, "AddCollectionItem", "mid=" + this.ModuleId) + "?ID=" + Convert.ToInt32(editing.CommandArgument));
}
Problem is it doesn't Redirect to the page or any other thing?
The Response.Redirect when I try to use it in general it doesnt work in this part only and in the other site it is working well
You're trying to pass a URL with two ?s in it, that might be causing part of the problem. Your second argument, ?ID= should be "&ID="
protected void ImageButtonEdit_Click(object sender, System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
ImageButton editing = (ImageButton)sender;
Response.Redirect(Globals.NavigateURL(TabID, "AddCollectionItem", "mid=" + this.ModuleId + "&ID=" + Convert.ToInt32(editing.CommandArgument)));
}
You also could pass that inside of NavigateURL instead of outside of NavigateURL as you are doing.
If your module is properly inheriting from PortalModuleBase you don't need PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID, just call TabID directly.
Also, are you doing any of this inside of an Update Panel? Perhaps that is causing redirect issues?

How to add persistent dynamic controls based on user input (not on initial page load)

I am familiar with creating and persisting dynamic controls on the first load of a page and on subsequent postbacks but I am having trouble with the following user initiated scenario...
In my demo I have a placeholder, two buttons and a literal
<div>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="phResponses" runat="server" />
</div>
<div>
<asp:Button ID="btnAdd" Text="Add" runat="server" OnClick="Add"/>
<asp:Button ID="btnInspect" Text="Inspect" runat="server" OnClick="Inspect"/>
</div>
<div>
<asp:Literal ID="litResult" runat="server"/>
</div>
I want the user to be able to click the add button to provide a response so I have...
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
BuildControls();
}
protected void Add(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
BuildControls();
}
protected void BuildControls()
{
phResponses.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl { ID = "response_" + _Count.ToString() });
_Count++;
}
_Count is a static member variable to enable me to have unique ids for the new controls. I realise I need to rebuild the dynamic controls on Page_Init but the problem is that I end up with 2 new Literal controls on every postback. Also if any Text property is put into the new controls it is lost when the controls are rebuilt.
So how do I avoid adding multiple controls and how do I persist newly added properties when rebuilding these controls?
I use the following to inspect the responses
protected void Inspect(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (var control in phResponses.Controls)
{
if (control is LiteralControl)
{
litResults.Text += "<p>" + control.Text + " : " + control.ID + "</p>";
}
}
}
Which itself adds another unwanted control because of the rebuilding on Page_Init
I'd not sure that I quite understand what you're asking, but it looks like you just want to ensure that BuildControls is only called once per lifecycle. You could do that by making the following changes:
Add a new private bool _isControlsBuilt = false;.
Change Page_Init to check _isControlsBuilt before calling BuildControls.
Set _isControlsBuilt to true within BuildControls.
Make sure that BuildControls occurs earlier in the page lifecycle than Page_Init.
As for losing the values of controls on postback, it'll be that they're never hitting the viewstate. I'm not sure if it'd work, but my first guess would be to add a line to the end of BuildControls to call Page.RegisterRequiresControlState:
protected void BuildControls()
{
LiteralControl newLiteral = new LiteralControl { ID = "response_" + _Count };
this.RegisterRequiresControlState(newLiteral);
phResponses.Controls.Add(newLiteral);
_Count++;
_isControlsBuilt = true;
}
If that doesn't work (which might imply that it's the _view_state, not the _control_state that matters to you here), you may need to look at rolling your own viewstate. I wrote about how to do that in my answer to #3854193, which you might find useful.

Reusable Page_PreRender function in asp.net

I have a function which sets my linkbutton as the default button for a panel.
protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string addClickFunctionScript = #"function addClickFunction(id) {
var b = document.getElementById(id);
if (b && typeof(b.click) == 'undefined')
b.click = function() {
var result = true;
if (b.onclick) result = b.onclick();
if (typeof(result) == 'undefined' || result)
eval(b.getAttribute('href'));
}
};";
string clickScript = String.Format("addClickFunction('{0}');", lbHello.ClientID);
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "addClickFunctionScript", addClickFunctionScript, true);
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "click_" + lbHello.ClientID, clickScript, true);
}
This works fine. How to make this reusable to all my pages of my application. One page can have multiple linkbuttons and multiple panels.... Any suggestion...
The cleanest way would be to use a custom server control that inherits from LinkButton. In fact this seems to be in line with the blog post from your earlier question. All you need to do is override the OnPreRender event and paste the code you have while changing lbHello.ClientID to this.ClientID to refer to the specific instance of that control. It should not take more than 10 minutes to set this up. Once this is done, you can use as many of the controls as you want on one page and easily support it throughout your application's various pages.
You might find this MSDN article helpful when following my instructions below, specifically the "Creating the Server Control" section: Walkthrough: Developing and Using a Custom Web Server Control. Here's a step by step guide to accomplishing this:
In your existing solution add a new ASP.NET Server Control project (right click on your solution from the Solution Explorer -> Add New Project -> ASP.NET Server Control). Name it LinkButtonDefault (you're free to change the name, of course).
Rename ServerControl1.cs to LinkButtonDefault.cs
Rename the namespace in the file to CustomControls
Perform steps 12-14 in the MSDN article by opening the AssemblyInfo.cs file (contained in the Properties folder of the project). Add this line at the bottom of the file: [assembly: TagPrefix("CustomControls", "CC")]
In LinkButtonDefault.cs add this code to override the OnPreRender event:
Code (notice the use of this.ClientID):
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
string addClickFunctionScript = #"function addClickFunction(id) {
var b = document.getElementById(id);
if (b && typeof(b.click) == 'undefined')
b.click = function() {
var result = true;
if (b.onclick) result = b.onclick();
if (typeof(result) == 'undefined' || result)
eval(b.getAttribute('href'));
}
};";
string clickScript = String.Format("addClickFunction('{0}');", this.ClientID);
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "addClickFunctionScript", addClickFunctionScript, true);
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "click_" + this.ClientID, clickScript, true);
base.OnPreRender(e);
}
You may also want to update the generated attribute code above the class declaration that starts with [ToolboxData("<{0}: to use LinkButtonDefault instead of ServerControl1. That's it for the new Server Control project. I highly recommend reading the aforementioned MSDN article to take advantage of other capabilities, such as adding controls to the toolbox if you have a need to do so.
After completing these steps you should have a LinkButtonDefault.cs file that resembles this:
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
namespace CustomControls
{
[DefaultProperty("Text")]
[ToolboxData("<{0}:LinkButtonDefault runat=server></{0}:LinkButtonDefault>")]
public class LinkButtonDefault : LinkButton
{
[Bindable(true)]
[Category("Appearance")]
[DefaultValue("")]
[Localizable(true)]
public string Text
{
get
{
String s = (String)ViewState["Text"];
return ((s == null) ? "[" + this.ID + "]" : s);
}
set
{
ViewState["Text"] = value;
}
}
protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
output.Write(Text);
}
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
string addClickFunctionScript = #"function addClickFunction(id) {
var b = document.getElementById(id);
if (b && typeof(b.click) == 'undefined')
b.click = function() {
var result = true;
if (b.onclick) result = b.onclick();
if (typeof(result) == 'undefined' || result)
eval(b.getAttribute('href'));
}
};";
string clickScript = String.Format("addClickFunction('{0}');", this.ClientID);
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "addClickFunctionScript", addClickFunctionScript, true);
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "click_" + this.ClientID, clickScript, true);
base.OnPreRender(e);
}
}
}
Now return to your web application and add a reference to the CustomControls project. You should be able to do this from the Add Reference's Project tab since I suggested adding the above project to your existing solution. If you want you could've built the above project in its own solution then you would add a reference to it's .dll file by using the Browse tab. Once a reference has been added you are ready to use the new LinkButtonDefault control.
To use the controls you can use the # Register directive on each page the control will be used, or you can add it to the Web.config and gain easy reference to it throughout your application. I will show you both methods below. Based on your question I think you'll want to add it to the Web.config. Refer to the MSDN article and you will find this information half way down the page under "The Tag Prefix" section.
Using # Register directive:
Go to your desired .aspx page and add the Register directive to the top of each page you want to use the control in:
<%# Register Assembly="CustomControls" Namespace="CustomControls" TagPrefix="CC" %>
On the same page, you may now use multiple instances of the control. Here's an example:
<p><strong>1st Panel:</strong></p>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="helloLabel" />
<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" DefaultButton="lbHello">
First name:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtFirstName" />
<CC:LinkButtonDefault ID="lbHello" runat="server" Text="Click me" OnClick="lbHello_Click"
OnClientClick="alert('Hello, World!');" />
</asp:Panel>
<p><strong>2nd Panel:</strong></p>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="fooBarLabel" />
<asp:Panel ID="Panel2" runat="server" DefaultButton="lbFooBar">
Other:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBox1" />
<CC:LinkButtonDefault ID="lbFooBar" runat="server" Text="Click me" OnClick="lbFooBar_Click" />
</asp:Panel>
In the code behind (.aspx.cs) you would need to add:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// example of adding onClick programmatically
lbFooBar.Attributes.Add("onClick", "alert('Foo Bar!');");
}
protected void lbHello_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
helloLabel.Text = String.Format("Hello, {0}", txtFirstName.Text);
}
protected void lbFooBar_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
fooBarLabel.Text = String.Format("FooBar: {0}", TextBox1.Text);
}
Using Web.config:
To use the Web.config keep the exact same markup and code used in the above example. Follow these steps:
Remove the # Register directive used on the .aspx markup.
Open the Web.config file for your web application.
Locate the <system.web>...</system.web> section.
Add the following mapping to that section:
Mapping:
<pages>
<controls>
<add assembly="CustomControls" namespace="CustomControls" tagPrefix="CC" />
</controls>
</pages>
Recompile and everything should build successfully. With this in place you no longer need to specify the # Register directive on each individual page.
If you get stuck and have any questions let me know. Just read over everything above carefully since it's a long post with lots of code.
You could create a class (let's call it Foo) that derives from System.Web.UI.Page and abstract your method to a point where it is reusable. All your ContentPages should derive from Foo instead of System.Web.UI.Page
My recommendation would be to either use a master page, or break the code out into a static function that takes a System.Web.UI.Page object as a parameter. Of course, you could always use inheritance (which will work), but you will lose the ability to layout your page using drag-and-drop design time functionality, since the VS.NET web form designer does a big freakout with ASPX pages that don't derive from System.Web.UI.Page or System.Web.UI.MasterPage directly.

Clearing the value of ASP.Net 2.0 File Upload Control using javascript that works on all browser?

We are running following javascript function:
function btn_AddToList_Click() {
var filePath = document.getElementById("FileUpload").value;
if(filePath.length > 0)
{
var opt = new Option(filePath,filePath);
var listBox = document.getElementById("ListBox");
listBox.options[listBox.options.length] = opt;
}
}
Function binding:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
btn_AddToList.Attributes.Add("onclick", "btn_AddToList_Click(); return false;");
}
}
HTML:
asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload" runat="server" Width="394px"
asp:ListBox ID="ListBox" runat="server" Width="394px"
asp:Button ID="btn_AddToList" runat="server" Enabled="true" Text="Add"
Issue is that value of "FileUpload" is not get cleared after we click "Add" button. Any help?
You can not set/clear the value of FileUpload control programmatically. That is a restriction for a security reason. Consider this if this restriction was not there, you could set the value of FileUpload control to some arbitrary file and upload it to your server. You won't be able to achieve this in current shape.
As a work around you can try to bring another textbox exactly on top of textbox part of FileUpload control. This way you will be give the same feeling what you are trying to achieve. But that is also not ideal and may not work properly.
