By the way its much easier to just publish the file.

Then it creates an html page to view and copy the object tab out of it.

That only takes a second and you know it works.

Using DataBind.Eval in the Code Behind

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to use DataBind.Eval(Container.DataItem, "column") in the code behind but when I type in Container.DataItem, it gives me an error. Does anyone know how to use this instead of using it in the aspx page? Thanks

Sincerely,
The Major Rager

You may only use the DataBind.Eval method in the DataBinding event handler in code-behind. Basically, it is used in the data binding expression right in the web page, I'm curious as to why you need to call it in code-behind.

well its DataBinder.Eval(<datasource>, <property>)

datasource = is the item being bound to
property = property name

This is done inside of event raised by a control.

If your doing this outside of an event, just grab the data from the data source and dont use the DataBinder

View State Dynamic Fields

I have a panel in which I dynamically add text boxs and drop down list controls Panel1.Controls.Add(myTextBox); When I click a toolbar button the system removes all the controls from the panel. How do I maintain the state of the panel. Thanks.

The ViewState of the control does not persist its child controls, when you work with dynamic controls, you need to remember to readd the controls on postback, otherwise they get lost.

Webservice from Javascript

Hello,

Is it possible to call a webmethod of a webservice which takes parameters and get a response (string) from Java script?

Please let me know how to achieve if anyone knows it.

Is it possible to do that without using SOAP?

Appreciate your help.

It is possible.

If your web service just takes/returns primitive parameters it is easy. If you get into passing objects around, you'll find it more difficult, requiring rather complex serialization.

This basic idea is available using AJAX. Though it's not limited to calling a webservice, you could just call a web page with a query string.

There are a number of AJAX toolkits out there that should make this reasonably painless for you. See Microsoft ATLAS ATLAS CTP
Or just look for AJAX frameworks. There are several.

Any of them will provide you with numerous examples of the serialization and usage of XmlHttpRequest in javascript.

Cache vs Application variable

honeyman_can1-Aug-06 6:35

1-Aug-06 6:35

Can someone please me out? I got a translatable website where all the translations are currently stored in a DB. I have loaded them into a Dictionaries ect so I need to do is just access them.

What are the implications or advantages of storing it in the cache and application variable respectively? I can't seem to see when is it appropriate to use either?

Thanks in advance

Re: Cache vs Application variable

Tim Kohler1-Aug-06 8:52

The Applicaton state (i.e. Application["myVariable"]) and Application Cache (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Add(...) in the System.Web.Caching namespace) are similar in purpose. That being that they cache non user specific data in memory on a web server.

The app cache however, offers the following advantages:

1. You can set an expiration policy (sliding, absolute) that dictates when your item will be removed from the memory space. This can be useful with sliding expiration to not hold large items in the cache after they haven't been accessed in say 10 minutes. The absolute is useful if you have mostly static data you want to cache but say it gets updated in its source periodically. You can set the absolute expiration to flush it out of your web app. Coupling that idea with #2:

2. You can set an expiration delegate that will get called when the item is removed from the cache. This can be useful to refresh a stale cache in the case of absolute expiration. Say you have a set of items you offer for sale. You might choose to cache some part of that set. If you realize that your set only changes say in the middle of the night, you might set the absolute expiration accordingly and string an expiration delegate onto it. Then when the item is removed from the cache, you can run some code via the delegate to build a new, updated set and cache that.

So, all in all, app cache lets you be less of a memory hog by controlling when your item is removed. It also allows some interesting ways to keep the cache in sync in certain situations.

Dynamic User Control Creation

1-Aug-06 5:54

My issue is, I have to allow a user to be able to specify in a text box how many files will be generated.

From that number they enter in the textbox, i generate that number of user controls on the screen for them to fill out.

    protected void FileNum_Changed(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
    {<br />
        int filecnt = Int32.Parse(txtFileNum.Text.ToString());<br />
        ShowFTPControls(filecnt);<br />
<br />
    }<br />
    private void ShowFTPControls(int Num)<br />
    {<br />
        ASP.filetransfercontrol_ascx ftc;<br />
<br />
        for (int i = 0; i < Num; i++)<br />
        {<br />
            ftc = new ASP.filetransfercontrol_ascx();<br />
            ftc.ID = "ftc" + i;<br />
            ftc.EnableViewState = false;<br />
            PH.Controls.Add(ftc);<br />
        }<br />
    }

The problem i'm having is, the user control has autopostback enabled dropdrowlists. When the postback occurs all the dynamic controls are blown away.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried ftc.EnableViewState = true, so that when the page is refreshed the controls will be recreated from the viewstate?

Re: Dynamic User Control Creation

minhpc_bk1-Aug-06 15:29

1-Aug-06 15:29

You then need to remember the number inputted by the user, and on postback you need to recreate the user controls with the ShowFTPControls method. More importantly, if you add the dynamic user controls after the postback data is processed, the event of the dropdownlist will not run properly.

well hi had a similar problem because i wanted to add dynamic questions on an registration form the solution this.
in your solution is this you must have an hiden field to store the number of control that you have to generate.
the second part is this when o do the postback you have the view state but you dont have the controls so you have to create them in the page init (is where the controls from what i have eard is bound width viewststate.

Note that you have to have exacly the same name. if you want to have events you have to asssign them in the page init to.
if you have master pages (asp.net 2.0) the controls may change name because o the contentplaceholder.

this is the article that i used to resolve the problem
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/retainingstate.asp
(note there is an error is not in the page_load but in the page init watch out).

You need to have a look at the inner of the Cells and get reference to the hyperlink elements which represent the page indexes, you then can set the tooltip for each element.

ASP.NET 2.0 TreeView control

Omkar Ghaisas1-Aug-06 5:39

1-Aug-06 5:39

Hi,

I need to develop a page with a TreeView control, in which I need to populate data from only a single table.

The requirement is like this: -

1) I have a Date from and Date To option on top of page, where user will specify the date range.

2) There is a Arrange by date and Arrange by process radiobutton, depending on which I need to make the parent node of TreeView and correspondingly arrange data.

The table from where I will fetch data has a structure like this

Column1 + Column 2 = Composite Primary key (neither of which has to be shown as node or child node in the TreeView)

Column3 = Date Column (To be made parent if Arrange by Date radio is selected)

Column4 = Process Column (To be made parent if Arrange by Process radio is selected)

for each date / process child node there will be a batch id node which will become its 3rd level child node.

How do i achieve this in actual? What shld be the query like? what shld the actual logic be like ?

Pls guide me on this

Thanks in advance

The link in MSDN may get you started, also if you don't know how to write the query you may want to post the question in SQL forum.

TreeView control[^]

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
