New Post: SelectorField Help

chuxszee — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:11:13 GMT

I'm using the selectorField (Radio Button Option) control on a Gridview (see code sample).

<asp:GridView ID="GrdInvestment" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                    Visible="False" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="5" DataKeyNames ="traref">
                    <Columns>
                        <mb:SelectorField SelectionMode ="Single" HeaderText ="Deal Number" />

<asp:BoundField DataField="traref" HeaderText="Reference" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ValDat" HeaderText="Value Date"
DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" />

</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

How do I on click of a button dynamically retrieve the DataKey value of the selected radio button click

New Post: combo box not working inside a contentplaceholder

junrapz — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 02:02:06 GMT

Hi, I'm a newbie in C# .net and been trying to implement the combo in my project. I noticed that the combo box width can't be increased when it's placed inside a contentplaceholder, the width is limited to the dropdown arrow in such a way that the list can't be seen. My browser is IE6 but when I tried it in google chrome is displaying correctly. Is there anything I can do fix this issue in IE 6?

Thanks in advance!

New Post: LookupField

steve_mew — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:34:12 GMT

LookupField to Convert FK's into readable text .

Hi All,
I am desparately trying to get the LookupField object to work within GridView.At the moment in the display/readonly view all I get is Foreign Keys which dont mean much to anyone.

I have read the compiled help but don't see any usage information anywhere. It seems to be purely type information. How do I use it ?

I have two datasources, the first (MainGridSQL) returns a data set of PrimaryKey and a whole bunch of Foreign Keys. Thats it. Its purely an association table. So, I am trying to resolve the foreign keys to display them as labels when the GridView is in readonly mode. I am going crazy here trying to work it out. The second datasource (Plant) is the key and string based human readable info I am trying to display.

The drop down list works great (Edit mode) and resolves the FK to the Code for diplay just fine ('Code' is the column name). Update also works !

How do I get a loolup for a label in GridView read only mode ?

Can anyone help me with an example or point me in the right direction. Any help or advice greatly greatly appreciated !

Rgds

Steve

New Post: Setting row number and multicolumn view

bovlk — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:18:59 GMT

Hello,

I've just found the MetaBuilders web controls and I find them very useful. However, there are two things I'm missing in the CheckedListBox control:

1. let me set the number of rows displayed, similar to the Rows property of standard ListBox

2. allow me to have a multicolumn view - suppose I have 25 items (A, B, C, ....) , each of them. I only found how to set the Height property, which is in pixels, percents etc, but not in multiples of a single row height.
just a few chars wide, and I want the CheckedListBox to have just three rows, but there's enough space horizontally. It would be nice to be able to show the 25 items as five lines of five items with only three displayed at once. The items would be placed by lines, so that items A-E come on the first line, F-J on the second one etc.

Is this possible to do this easily with the current version? If no, could you please add these options, with 1) being the more important for me?

Thanks

Bolek

New Post: How do save files using multi file upload

Henxon — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:23:24 GMT

Iterate the posted files, and save each one of them. I work with c#, so here's c# code:

foreach(HttpPostedFile file in myFileUploader.PostedFiles)
{
file.SaveAs("d:\files\myFileName.jpg");
}

remember to change the filename into the uploaded filename (file.FileName), check it's size so it's not to large (file.FileLength) etc.

New Post: MultiFileUpload Control Upload Path & No MultiFile Selection?

Henxon — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:19:47 GMT

Regarding upload:

Iterate the HttpPostedFile array that you get by:

HttpPostedFiles[] postedFiles = myMetaBuildersMultiFileUploader.PostedFiles:

foreach(HttpPostedFile file in postedFiles){

//do stuff, for example put posted file name into database

//save the file to server

file.SaveAs("d:\files\filenameOfYourChoise.jpg");

}

Of course, u need to change the filename into the filename of the posted file (file.FileName), but don't forget to remove everything except the name: IE will give u the path + filename,
for example: "c:\my documents\myImage.jpg".

Regarding selecting more than one file:

I got that issue when I tried to put the fileuploader into an update panel. Remove that (if that's the case)

New Post: MetaBuilders.MasterPages issue in .Net 2.0

vinodbk — Tue, 05 May 2009 14:01:52 GMT

Hi All,

We have an aspx page developed in .Net 1.1 with MetaBuilders.MasterPages. It works fine in .Net 1.1 frmaework but when we move the aspx page to the system with .Net 2.0-framework, we are not able to see the page. However other pages which donot have masterpage are getting displayed properly. Can any one tell me the reason for this behaviour. Also please let us know the steps to use the existing aspx page ( developed in .Net 1.1) with MetaBuilders.MasterPage in .Net 2.0.

The error logged in the log file is mentioned below
Unable to cast object of type 'MetaBuilders.WebControls.MasterPages.Region' to type 'DefaultPage'.

Thanks in advance.

New Post: can't get ascx/aspx page to recognize the controls

ottenm — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:10:12 GMT

Hello-

Any help getting started with this library? I copied MetaBuilders.WebControls.dll into my project's Bin directory (ASP.NET 2.0) and added a reference to it in the project's references. I can successfully compile this line in my code behind:
            Dim test As New MetaBuilders.WebControls.DialogInputBox()

But when I copy this sample out of the help text into my ascx or aspx pages, I get a compiler error (underlining only the DialogInputBox) "Element 'DialogInputBox' is not a known element."
    <mbdw:DialogInputBox runat="server" Id="MyInputBox"
        OnDialogClosed="MyDialogWindow_DialogClosed"
        Prompt="Please Enter A Value." />
At the top of the page, the Register declaration is compiling just fine:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="mbdw" Namespace="MetaBuilders.WebControls" Assembly="MetaBuilders.WebControls.DialogWindow" %>

Any help greatly appreciated. It's one *easy* looking InputBox()!

Have tried cleaning/rebuilding a few times.

New Post: ComboBox Dropdown Hangs Open In MS Ajax UpdatePanel?

The ComboBox is a great control if I don't enclose it within the MS Ajax UpdatePanel. The ComboBox Dropdown will hang open and never close.

I'm using the fileupload tool and I want to restrict the user to uploading JPEG images, so I set the accept parameter to "image/jpeg". However, that doesn't seem to make any difference - I can still select any file type I want. Am I missing something here?

New Post: MultiFileUpload Control Upload Path & No MultiFile Selection?

I recently performed a drag-n-drop of the MetaBuilders MultiFileUpload control. I have 2 questions concerning its abilities:

1. How do I instruct the control as to where the upload directory is?

2. I cannot select more than 1 file in my browser (IE7)?

Pointeman — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:04:53 GMT

I just downloaded the MetaBuilders WebControls, unzipped, added the .dll to the Visual Studio 2008 Toolbox, then drag-n-dropped the ComboBox control on my .aspx page. Now I recieve the following error during runtime:

Error 1 Request for the permission of type 'System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

The .aspx page looks like this:

@ Register Assembly="MetaBuilders.WebControls" Namespace="MetaBuilders.WebControls" TagPrefix="mb" %>

<mb:combobox runat="server"></mb:combobox>

It appears to have registered correctly and I don't have any red-squigglys appearing under its code...

Help.

New Post: Unable to access CheckedListBox from javascript

shouvik25 — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 09:36:20 GMT

Hello all fellows...

I have used the CheckedListBox web component in one of my aspx pages. I have successfully binded data from my database to the listbox. But the problem arised when I tried to select all the entries that have been checked/selected from the control itself using my client-side javascript code. My CheckedListBox control's ID is "lstemployee" and here is my javascript code :-

My intension is to select all entries from the list which is selected/checked and put them along with their values into a textbox and I should use client-side code for this. So javascript is the best alternative I think....

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    function collect()
    {
      var l=document.getElementById("lstemployee");
      var t=document.getElementById("TextBox1");

      var s="";

      for(var i=0;i<l.length;i++)
      {
        if(l.options[i].selected==true)
        {
            s=s + "," + (l.options[i].value + " - " + l.options[i].text);
         }
      }

      if(s!="")
      {
        s=s.substr(1);
      }

      t.value=s.Trim();

      return false;
    }
    </script>

I have fired this js code from a button server control and I used the below code in order to attach this code to it:-

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   Button2.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:return collect()");
}

The problem is mainly --> the js code can't finding the element "lstemployee"

Then I commented the entire code and just fire an alert in order to see total item count of the listbox using the following code :-

alert(document.getElementById("lstemployee").length);

the output was :- an alert with "undefined" message.

Then I used the following :-

document.getElementByTagName("mb:CheckedListBox ");
alert(document.getElementById("lstemployee").length);

This time the alert displayed me 0 although there were 86 records in the listbox.
I just can't figure out what's the wrong stuff that I'm doing....It's really sticking my head off...Can anybody here show me the correct direction....It's really urgent....If I can't figure this out then I have to manually code my own control which is too time consuming and I really hate to do that...

Looking forward to get some positive replies...
Thanks for any appreciation....in advance

regards
Shouvik
