Hi again...

OK , now I have this control inheriting from WebControl, so it makes sense to use its style properties. I far as I can figure, I need to do my rendering of the control by overriding RenderContents() so the SPAN tag incapsulate the contents I want to render.

The problem I am having is that the style settings as set by the Control in the SPAN tag is not "falling" thru to my rendering. Actually some does , and some dont. EG Font name does, fontsize does not. And my overriding of the style does not have an effect either.

What is the problem here? Any informative resources on this perhaps?

Any help appreciated Smile | :)

HI all

I have made a simple custom control. Just a table foreach entry I have in a collection. Now in design mode, after placing the control on the webform, I add some items to it and it works 100%. Then I build and the browser screams:

Parser Error
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Cannot create an object of type 'XXXXXXX.EntryCollection' from its string representation '(Collection)' for the 'Entries' property.

Source Error:

Line 13: <body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">
Line 14: <form id="EntryForm" method="post" runat="server">
Line 15: <cc1:EntryView id="EntryView1" runat="server" Entries="(Collection)"></cc1:EntryView>
Line 16: </form>
Line 17: </body>

Then I have to basically remove every reference in the webform and add it again. And go thru the same &^%&% process. NO WTF is going on?

I have tried to change Collection to EntryCollection, same effect.

PLEASE HELP!PLEASE HELP!PLEASE HELP!PLEASE HELP! Smile | :)

Some more Info

private EntryCollection entrycol;

public EntryView()
{
  this.entrycol = new EntryCollection();
}

public EntryCollection Entries 
{
  get {return entrycol;}
}

This all work 100% in designer.

Now I build and run it.

Now it complains it want s a set property for Entries. Why?????????

But anyways, I add it a set property, then I get error as explained in previous post.

Why is ASP.NET so gay?

Hello
I’m perhaps a bit old fashion when it comes to ASP.

I try to build a Form populated whit Database data (from a Stored Procedure) and when I click the “save” button the data will be saved to the database thro a Stored Procedure.

But it won’t work, it looks as if the load event is fired before the button.click?????

That's correct. In the Page_Load event, check the Page.IsPostBack property. If the property is true, the form has been posted back and you don't need to populate it.

That's not what you would have figured if you are a old ASP-programmer like me. But It's kind of cool that I only hav to populate it ones.

Thanks

Force a stylesheet reload in IE

Hi folks,

I'm working on a webpage using a stylesheet - but when I've changed the stylesheet file and reloads the page - the changes aren't visible. If I close the browser and reopen it, changes in the file are reflected on the page.

I've set the "Tools->Internet options...->Settings (in the Temporary internet files section, on the General tab)->Check for newer version of stored pages" to "Every visit to the page", and this works fine for regular html and asp pages - but not for stylesheets. And I can't set the buffer used for file caching to anything below 1 MB.

So what do I do ? Any help is much appreciated.

You could try holding shift or ctrl when you refresh (which forces the browser to do a full refresh and forget any cached content. different keys are used by different browsers, and I can never remember which is which)

How can you map a network share in ASP with "net use" command?

Hi all,

I have an ASP application (not .NET) that uses VBScript to access Files and Folders on a Data Server. I had hoped to be able to just map a drive to the shared folder, but this is not possible due to security issues.
SO I need to know how I can use the "net use" command to map to this share and still be able to use the FileSystemObject to see the files and folders.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You can't do this from plain VB-Script and as far as I know, FSO doesn't provide this functionality. So your only option is to write your own COMponent (poc in VB).

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, however, there is.

<IFRAME> tag

Hi All,

I am curious as to whether anyone could tell me where I might find some info on the browser compatibility numbers, by percentage, for the tag?

We are looking to use this tag on a rather large project and I am unable to find a good resource for finding this type info.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Google is your friend. <a href="http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/supportkey/i.htm">http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/supportkey/i.htm</a>[<a target=_blank title='New Window' href="http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/supportkey/i.htm">^</a>]

Not sure what you mean by "percentage" because a browser either supports the tag or it doesn't.

I guess he means "what percentage of my sites visitors will be using a browser that supports the iframe tag"

I only run a small site, that doesn't get a huge amount of hits, but the majority of my visitors use IE6, and 98% of my visitors use IE6, IE5 or Netscape6/Mozilla which all support iframes fine

Well he needs both what browsers support the iframe and then how many people use what browser. So we both helped him Smile | :)

Netscape 4.x: 4%
IE 4: 8%
IE 5/6: 87%
Other browsers: 1% (Opera, Netscacpe 6.x, Mozilla 1.0 etc.)

But it doesn't matter, we should all be coding towards standards not browsers...
