View 1 RepliesHaving:
<asp:FormView ID="frmEmployee" runat="server">
<EditTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtFirstName" runat="server" />
[code]....
is there a way to reference this control statically, without having to use FindControl?
VB.Net
txtFirstName.Text = "George"
C#
txtFirstName.Text = "George";
I am looking to create several custom controls (PictureBox Derivatives) on during runtime. I've read that the best way is to create template controls that will be created, and duplicate them in the Controls array.
Well, that's all fine and dandy, but what's the best way to store the template? I considered a seperate form with all the templates laid out on it for easy access for my editing, and keeping them out of the user's sight. I also considdered doing a Struct for each template, and smply mirroring values onto the control being created from the Struct to the created control.
I'm looking for ease of development first and foremost, as I'm most likely going to have a vast number of these templates, and keeping the system as simple as possible will eliminate a lot of hair-pulling. After development ease, I'd go for optimisation.

View 2 RepliesI have a number of ActiveX controls which make use of consituent controls (edit boxes,combo boxes etc). I'm using these in a VB .Net 2005 project.When I run the application within the IDE, all the ActiveX controls display correctly with the XP visual styles.But when I run the built assembly, the ActiveX controls display without XP visual styles
View 3 RepliesI'm sure I'm doing something wrong because I can't see how the problems I'm having with controls' appearance in Win7 can be normal. When "Enable XP visual styles" is enabled in my application, my progressbars never fill and gridlines don't show in Listviews. Disabling XP visual styles fixes those problems, but then everything looks like Win98 and that's no solution.
