Newbie : Adding an onclick event to server control, prevents postback.??

Hi,

I have a .net page that basically has two buttons on it. Each
button when
rendered by the server basically seem to have a type of "SUBMIT". What
i want is to be able to disable one of the buttons when a user clicks
on it and have the server process the operation and then renable it
went it's done.

I added the following piece of code to my Page_Load event.

MyButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.disabled=true;");

This worked fine except that my event handler in the code-behind,
ExportButton_Click is not fired and so nothign happens except for the
button being disabled. Can someone give me detailed information on how
this can be done as I'm relatively new to C# , Javascript and .Net.

I was reading about the RegisterOnSubmit statement and such but it
did not
seem to work. What am I missing? What is an easy way to accomplish
this?

Code snippets/ links much appreaciated.

Thanksyes this is a problem.
one way around this is to hide the button instead.
if looks a bit stupid but you could have a disabled button which is hidden
until you click and hide the real button.
a bit mickey mouse but what can you do?

if you find a better way, please post it.

Instead of adding an "onClick" attribute to the button,
why not just disable it from the buttons click event?
ie. myButton.Enabled = False

I guess what you are trying to achieve is to prevent the
user from clicking the button more than once.
You should also make sure you have wired up your event
handlers for the button.

eg. protected WithEvents btnMyButton As Button

protected sub btnMyButton_Click() Handles btnMyButton.Click
end sub

This is VB code, but you need to make sure you declare
your button using 'WithEvent', and wire up the proper
event (using the 'Handles' statement) to the method that
will be handling the event.

It might also be a good idea to set the AutoEventWireup
directive in your .aspx page to False, otherwise your
event will fire twice.

Hope this helps

I cannot do this as it won't work. What the above will do, is disable
the button once it gets bakc to the client. All the while while the
server is actually running the code in the event handler, the button
will remain Enabled and will become disabled once the code behind is
done - definitely not what I wnat. I read a post earlier on about
doing it an easier way somewhere.
Please, all you guru's , keep the comments coming..

Newbie : Updating problem with Datagrid

Hi,

I have a page with a datagrid control. What I would like to do is when
I click on the update statement, I will update to the datagrid. However
the problem I am facing currently is when I click on update, the value
which I got from the controls generated by the datagrid edit template
is empty. Is there something I am missing out on? I have attached the
source codes below, please advice. Thanks!

Web User Control :

<asp:DataGrid id="participateGrid" runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="1" CellSpacing="1"
Width="100%" BorderColor="White" BorderStyle="None"
OnEditCommand="Edit" OnDeleteCommand="Delete" OnUpdateCommand="Update"
ShowHeader="True">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#dedfde" CssClass="tableLabel"></HeaderStyle>
<ItemStyle CssClass="tableItem" BackColor="#f7e7e7"></ItemStyle>
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Outlet">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlOutlet" Runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>...</asp:ListItem>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Remarks">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox id="txtRemarks" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="2"
Columns="15" Runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:EditCommandColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" EditText="<img
src='editimage.jpg'>" UpdateText="<img src='updateimage.gif'>"
</asp:EditCommandColumn>
<asp:ButtonColumn CommandName="Delete" ButtonType="LinkButton"
Text="<img src='delete.gif'"></asp:ButtonColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
<asp:ImageButton ImageUrl="image.gif" id="btn_new"
runat="server"></asp:ImageButton
This is the codebehind file update method :

protected void Update (object sender, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
DropDownList outlet = (DropDownList)e.Item.Cells[0].FindControl
("ddlOutlet");
TextBox remarks = ((TextBox)e.Item.Cells[1].FindControl
("txtRemarks"));

DataRow dr = dt.Rows[e.Item.DataSetIndex];

dr["Outlet"] = outlet.SelectedItem.Text;
dr["Remarks"] = remarks.Text;

saveData();

participateGrid.EditItemIndex = -1;
BindGrid();
}

private void saveData ()
{
//stores the information in a viewstate
ViewState ["Participate"] = dt;
}

//bind the data
private void BindGrid()
{
participateGrid.DataSource = dv;
participateGrid.DataBind();
}Are u binding your datagrid on page load? Page load event occurs before
datagrid update event.
If your answer is yes, control postback on your page load something like
this:

if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindGrid();
}

Below is my page load event. I suspect something is wrong with the
loadData method, is it?

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

if (ViewState ["Participate"] == null)
{
loadData();
ViewState["Participate"] = dt;
}

else
{
dt = (DataTable)ViewState["Participate"];
dv = new DataView (dt);
}

if (!IsPostBack)
{
Session ["ParticipateCounter"] = gridCounter;
}
else
{
gridCounter = (int)Session ["ParticipateCounter"];
}

BindGrid();
}

//page load event

//initialise the local objects
private void loadData ()
{
dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add (new DataColumn ("Outlet", typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add (new DataColumn ("Remarks", typeof(string)));

dv = new DataView(dt);

}
As I said, put BindGrid method into if (!IsPostBack)

yep, got it! Thanks! Managed to get the right values.
Hmm, maybe would just like to ask another question. Why is it that when
I click on update, after posting back, I still get the edit box?

I have set my EditItemIndex to -1 already. Why is it not being set to
-1? Thanks!

Surely it caused by event order. Everytime event order is as follows.
1. Page_Load
2. Click events
3. Changed events
Every time the page is posted client. Firstly your datagrid is binded then
events like datagrid events are handled. So edit item index is set after the
datagrid is binded.

Newbie ? - Error on Redirect from login page error

Hello all,
Trying to make a login page to a website. However I don't the user to be
able to set a password, I want to control the password for everbody, and
change it wly. Any way, I have found alot of docs on Form Authentication
to be used as a login page. But they all are a little diffrent, and always
cover the highlights. I would love to see something that takes me from poin
t
A to Point B. Anyway's, I have been making some progress, although slower
than I would like. So here is a snippet of my code for my login button.
Private Sub btnLogIn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnLogIn.Click
' Server.Transfer("main.aspx") used to go to main page
Session("User Name") = txtUN.Text
Session("Password") = txtPW.Text
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUN.Text, False)
End Sub
And here is my web config code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<location path="ProtectMe.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="ImsApp"
loginUrl="localhost/mmgims/Login1.aspx" protection="all"/>
</forms>
</authentication>
</system.web>
</configuration>
It is my understanding that the redirectfromloginpage should take me to the
login page if the password or User name is wrong. But this is what I get for
an error

I don't have a default page, I have the login page, and the main page which
would be my home page. Again, I been taking a little bit of info from
everywhaere.
Any advise would be great!!!
Thanks to all!!!
RudyI think your problem is the loginUrl in your web.config.
Make this path relative to the web.config
so your web.config is under the root, and your login page is under
mmgims directory make it this:
loginUrl="mmgims/Login1.aspx"
leave the localhost part out of there. your page is redirecting how it
should, but it can't find the login page you specified.
let me know if that works.
DKode
Thanks for the tip, that does make sense! I'll try it out tonite and let you
know.

leave the localhost part out of there. your page is redirecting how it
should, but it can't find the login page you specified.
let me know if that works.

DKode
Thanks for the tip, that does make sense! I'll try it out tonite and let you
know.

newbie asp.net user control question

Hi, I created a user control within my asp.net application. It has
an .ascx extension. I use this control many times within this
application and it works fine. I wrote this user control to be
generic though, because I want it to be accessible from other asp.net
applications as well. How do I break out the user control into a
seperate dll that can be references by many asp.net apps? I fooled
around with the "Web Control Library" but I must be doing something
wrong because it doesn't seem right. For instance it is listing a
"Windows Forms" section on the toolbox rather than the "Web Forms"
section that I need. Also there is no html section on the designer.
I must have gone off track somewhere... Any help you can provide
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!On Jun 27, 10:55 pm, mbosc...@.hotmail.com wrote:

hi... :)
If you want to use your control in multiple projects and you actually
want made it generic enough you have to write a custom control... okay
that good... now you can still use user user control in multiple
project but for this you got to copy the ascx file and its cs file to
the new project...

Newbie Embedded WUC DLL Question

Hello -
I've been racking my brains trying to figure out what's going on with
my embedded .NET 2.0 windows user control.
I've developed a Windows Forms application using Visual C# 2005
Express. I'm interested in migrating it to the web as an embedded
windows user control.
As a proof of concept, I've been playing around embedding some very
basic Windows user controls into both HTML and ASP pages using Visual
Web Developer 2005 Express. (My web development is very limited).
I've done some searching and found examples of how to embed a user
control as an object by inserting something like the following
(<OBJECT id="myObject" classid="myDll.dll#myNamespace.myControl"
height=480 width=480></OBJECT> ) into HTML code and copying the DLL
file in the 'root' (not /bin) directory of the page.
Now here's where the fun comes in...
I'm testing some very basic embedded controls using Microsoft's
ASP.NET Development server and I'm getting some very odd and
unexplained behavior.
1) When I create a new website project and insert the control, most of
the time (but not always) my sample control will display in the
internal browser inside the Visual Web Developer IDE and it will
display in IE (as launched from the Visual Web Developer IDE in debug
mode)
2) If I change the embedded user control code (inside Visual C#
Express) and recompile and re-copy the DLL file into the web project
directory, I very rarely see the updates reflected in the user
control. It seems to be using a cached version of the DLL'
3) Eventually, I will reach a state where the user control no longer
even appears in the web browser window when trying to run the site
(using the Development Server). It only shows up as an object icon
place holder.
I've tried all sorts of things like:
1) Stopping the development server before copying the new DLL file
into the web project
2) Restarting Visual Web Developer Express
3) Deleting all the temporary IE files
4) Deleting all the files from C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework
\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\
None of those attempts seems to change what I'm observing - why only
sometimes the embedded control displays and why none of the re-
compiles/re-copying of the DLL files seem to 'take effect'. Also,
once the control stops displaying, I essentially have to create an
entirely new web project to see the control again.
Any thoughts/links to examples or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike D.the control is cached in two places
1) ie caches the dll in its temp area (use delete temp files in ie).
2) the gac caches the jit'd code. use gacutil /cdl
note: this is probably a dead-end approach. you should look at
Silverlight as a more long term solution.

Newbie mistake or Custom Validator bug?

I have a very strange problem involving controls and the CustomValidator.

We have created a custom control. The control includes an ordinary textbox,
a customvalidator with the ControlToValidate set to the textbox, and a
VBScript validator subroutine. The purpose of the sub is to insure that only
dates that fall on Monday are permitted. The custom validator is exposed
through a property to permit enabling and disabling as needed.

The problem is this. If I have two instances of the control on a page, the
custom validator of the first instance is apparently calling the sub of the
second. The net effect is that I cannot properly validate Mondays on the
first control. This control seems to work fine when there is only one
instance on a page. When I examine the HTML source, it appears that there
are the correct instances of the code, each accessing the correct controls.

(I should admit upfront that the control also contains a ThirdParty calendar
date selector, Telerik, but as far as I can tell, none of the problem code
interacts with it in any way. It's sole purpose is to put a property
formatted date string into the textbox.)Please post:
1. The ASP.NET definitions of the controls involved.
2. The server side code involved.
3. The client-side code involved.

I have just created a test case (without any 3rd party controls,
incidentally. That appears to have nothing to do with the problem)

First create a user control with a textbox and a custom validator:
-- ASPX starts here -----
<%@. Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="CalendarTest.ascx.vb" Inherits="test1.CalendarTest"
TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" %>
<asp:TextBox id="txtDate" runat="server" Columns="18"
CssClass="text"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:CustomValidator id="MondayValidator1" runat="server"
ClientValidationFunction="ValidateMondayVB"
ErrorMessage="The Date is not a Monday" Enabled="False"
ControlToValidate="txtDate">*</asp:CustomValidator>
<script language="vbscript"
Sub ValidateMondayVB(source, args)

If IsDate(document.forms("Form1").item("<%= Me.txtDate.ClientID
%>").Value) then

startDt = CDate(document.forms("Form1").item("<%= Me.txtDate.ClientID
%>").Value)
msgbox "Here I am control <%= Me.ClientID %>, box = <%=
Me.txtDate.ClientID %> , source.id = " & source.id
If WeekDay(startDt) <> vbMonday then
msgbox "Start date must be a Monday. You specified a " &
WeekdayName(WeekDay(startDt)) & "."
args.IsValid = false
Else
args.IsValid = true
End if

End if

End Sub
</script
--- ASPX ends here ----
Next add the following property to the control code behind:
Public Property MondayValidator() As CustomValidator
Get
Return MondayValidator1
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As CustomValidator)
MondayValidator1 = Value
End Set
End Property
---
Now create a test page using the control:

--- test page ASPX starts here ----------

<%@. Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="WebForm12.aspx.vb" Inherits="test1.WebForm12"%>
<%@. Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="CalendarTest" src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=CalendarTest.ascx" %>

--- test page ASPX ends here -------

Finally add the following to the test page's Page_Load

CalendarTest1.MondayValidator.Enabled = True
CalendarTest1.MondayValidator.ErrorMessage = "Test1 Fired"
CalendarTest2.MondayValidator.Enabled = False
CalendarTest2.MondayValidator.ErrorMessage = "Test2 Fired"

Now run the project. Enter a Monday date (2/20/2006 for example) in the
first box. Enter a non-Monday date in the second. (In my actual work, these
boxes would have Javascript formatting routines forcing a mm/dd/yyyy format
so only use that.) Now press the button. The first validator fires after
apparently using the 2nd instances VBscript sub, or so it looks to me.

Thanks

Newbie mistake or Custom Validator bug?

I have a very strange problem involving controls and the CustomValidator.
We have created a custom control. The control includes an ordinary textbox,
a customvalidator with the ControlToValidate set to the textbox, and a
VBScript validator subroutine. The purpose of the sub is to insure that onl
y
dates that fall on Monday are permitted. The custom validator is exposed
through a property to permit enabling and disabling as needed.
The problem is this. If I have two instances of the control on a page, the
custom validator of the first instance is apparently calling the sub of the
second. The net effect is that I cannot properly validate Mondays on the
first control. This control seems to work fine when there is only one
instance on a page. When I examine the HTML source, it appears that there
are the correct instances of the code, each accessing the correct controls.
(I should admit upfront that the control also contains a ThirdParty calendar
date selector, Telerik, but as far as I can tell, none of the problem code
interacts with it in any way. It's sole purpose is to put a property
formatted date string into the textbox.)Please post:
1. The ASP.NET definitions of the controls involved.
2. The server side code involved.
3. The client-side code involved.

I have just created a test case (without any 3rd party controls,
incidentally. That appears to have nothing to do with the problem)
First create a user control with a textbox and a custom validator:
-- ASPX starts here --
<%@. Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="CalendarTest.ascx.vb" Inherits="test1.CalendarTest"
TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" %>
<asp:TextBox id="txtDate" runat="server" Columns="18"
CssClass="text"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:CustomValidator id="MondayValidator1" runat="server"
ClientValidationFunction="ValidateMondayVB"
ErrorMessage="The Date is not a Monday" Enabled="False"
ControlToValidate="txtDate">*</asp:CustomValidator>
<script language="vbscript">
Sub ValidateMondayVB(source, args)
If IsDate(document.forms("Form1").item("<%= Me.txtDate.ClientID
%>").Value) then
startDt = CDate(document.forms("Form1").item("<%= Me.txtDate.ClientID
%>").Value)
msgbox "Here I am control <%= Me.ClientID %>, box = <%=
Me.txtDate.ClientID %> , source.id = " & source.id
If WDay(startDt) <> vbMonday then
msgbox "Start date must be a Monday. You specified a " &
WdayName(WDay(startDt)) & "."
args.IsValid = false
Else
args.IsValid = true
End if
End if
End Sub
</script>
-- ASPX ends here --
Next add the following property to the control code behind:
Public Property MondayValidator() As CustomValidator
Get
Return MondayValidator1
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As CustomValidator)
MondayValidator1 = Value
End Set
End Property
--
Now create a test page using the control:
-- test page ASPX starts here --
<%@. Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="WebForm12.aspx.vb" Inherits="test1.WebForm12"%>
<%@. Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="CalendarTest" src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=CalendarTest.ascx"
%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>WebForm12</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">
<meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" content="Visual Basic .NET 7.1">
<meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript">
<meta name="vs_targetSchema"
content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">
</HEAD>
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:ValidationSummary id="ValidationSummary1" runat="server"
BorderStyle="Outset" Width="272px"></asp:ValidationSummary>
<P>
<uc1:CalendarTest id="CalendarTest1"
runat="server"></uc1:CalendarTest>
<uc1:CalendarTest id="CalendarTest2"
runat="server"></uc1:CalendarTest></P>
<P> </P>
<P>
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Validate"></asp:Button></P>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>
-- test page ASPX ends here --
Finally add the following to the test page's Page_Load
CalendarTest1.MondayValidator.Enabled = True
CalendarTest1.MondayValidator.ErrorMessage = "Test1 Fired"
CalendarTest2.MondayValidator.Enabled = False
CalendarTest2.MondayValidator.ErrorMessage = "Test2 Fired"
Now run the project. Enter a Monday date (2/20/2006 for example) in the
first box. Enter a non-Monday date in the second. (In my actual work, thes
e
boxes would have Javascript formatting routines forcing a mm/dd/yyyy format
so only use that.) Now press the button. The first validator fires after
apparently using the 2nd instances VBscript sub, or so it looks to me.
