You need two pages, right ? One full of radio buttons and one full of links for the button you pressed. What's not clear is, how are the links stored ? In a database ? XML ? hard coded ? A radio button list page is pretty trivial, and then each button needs, on click, to divert to the second page. The two ways to handle this are a cross page postback, or putting a variable on the URL, so that the second page knows which URLs to show. Again, it's not clear from the question where they come from.

OK, so create one page with the radio buttons and have it redirect to the other page, and the other page would take a parameter, telling it which group of hard coded links to display.

Viewstate question

theJazzyBrain15-May-07 2:20

15-May-07 2:20

I noticed that the framework wraps the viewstate hidden input element into a DIV element.

Can anyone explain why it is done this way and how and if I can get rid of the div?
Can I place the viewstate hidden input at the bottom of the page?

Thanking you in advance.

No, I don't believe you can ( not easily ). Why do you want to ?

theJazzyBrain15-May-07 2:32

To be honest I have to serious reason.
I just like being in full control of what markup is delivered to the site visitor and little things like this one just annoy me.

Why don't you disable viewstate for the page ?

Without this wrapper div ASP.NET wouldn't be able to produce valid XHTML Strict markup.
As for the custom viewstate hidden input placing - I don't think it is impossible to do this, but should be complicated enough to not be worth the effort.

Hi,

I am in need of a .NET calendar control that can use in my web application. If someone know of sample control or some sample source cod, please let me know. I have searched Google and have found no source code.

http://rentors.org/calendar.aspx?propertyid=9&culturename=en-US[^]

It also has to have left and right arrows to scroll through the years.

Regards
ma se

You need a javascript calendar, as that's the language run on the client. There are tons on the web.

Brendan Vogt15-May-07 2:26

It needs to connect to the database, how else are you going to know which dates were booked or not??

Christian Graus15-May-07 2:29

15-May-07 2:29

It needs to be javascript, otherwise you can just use a datagrid and postback on each click.

So, the answer is that it needs to be set up in the C# code, to show the right dates as booked, or use AJAX. It's possible that none of the calendar controls out there will do it out of the box, you may have to modify one

Yeah but I searched for something every where. Don't you know of anything??

I don't think you understand what I am looking for??

When a property is booked, the date is saved. So when the next rentor comes along and wants to see when that property is booked, then a calendar (like in the link) is displayed to the user. You understand??

Consider that I have a very long function( not in line, in execution time). I am calling this function on pageload. So page is taking too much time to load beacuse of the function. How to make a waiting indication for the user or is it possible to use threading and do the long process on background. If so how I will show the contents on page ? Because page will be loading first before function finished it's execution ? Pls help Confused | :confused:

Call it using AJAX, and update the page when it's done. Show an animated gif to show that you're still loading, as your page until the AJAX call returns.

I was thinking the same think. But is it the rite way to do this ? since AJAX won't support in all browsers. I mean old versions. ?

It depends on who you expect to be looking at your site. If the browser is very old, then you're stuck with the only other option, which is timing out. Or a service that runs the task, and a page that keeps auto posting back to check if it's done. Why do it like it's 1996, for the sake of the 8 people who can't see a modern version ?
