Asp.net - Refer To User Control's "strong" Type
Apr 28, 2011I have code like this which loads a control from an .ascx file, calls some methods of the control, then renders it:
Option Explicit Off
Sub renderMyControl(p As Page)
Dim ctrl as Object = p.LoadControl("path/to/myControl.ascx")
' ... do stuff with ctrl ...
[Code]...
This code only works because Explicit is off. I would like to use CType to convert the control to its "strong type" (and get rid of Option Explicit Off) but I don't know how to add a reference to the type. How can I do this?

Make A Control Refer To Itself?
Jan 13, 2009Im working on a project and just wanted to know to make a control refer to itself?I know that by using the word "Me", the system refers to the form but how about the control. I know that i can simply name the control (e.g. txtSurname.Clear) but if i was to use the code on multiple controls it would save alot of time if the control could simply refer to itself!

View 1 RepliesRefer To A Windows Form Control By Name (C# / VB)?
Jul 24, 2009Suppose I have a label control on a windows form called "UserName". How can I refer to that label programmatically using the label name? For example I can do:
For each ctrl as Control in TabPage.Controls
If ctrl.Name = "UserName" Then
' Do something
End If
Next
This seems quite inefficient. I would like to do something like: TabPage.Controls("UserName").Text = "Something" I did some googling but couldn't find a satisfactory answer. Most suggested looping, some said .NET 2005 doesn't support direct refenece using string name, and FindControl method was asp.net only...

Get Edit Control From Type?
Aug 4, 2010I am retrieving some records from a database dynamically, not knowing exactly which table I need to query, or even which fields to retrieve. I display this data in a control that looks a bit like a listbox, except each item is two lines: a label and a value. Now, the user needs to be able to browse through this list until he finds the item he needs, and then he should be able to edit the item.
This application will (eventually, this is just a 'proof of concept') run on a mobile device or PDA or something like that, so space is limited. To allow the user to edit a value, I simply show a panel containing some edit control (textbox, checkboxes, combobox, etc), let the user edit whatever he's editing, save the change and display the list of items again.[code]...

View 4 RepliesHow To Create New Server Control Type
Jun 19, 2012I'm trying to create a new server control type in ASP.NET. This control would put a RequiredFieldValidator into a certain place. My class inherits from the WebControl class and it has a ControlID property which is the ID of a given control. The RequiredFieldValidator will be generated near the control with the given ControlID. However, the value of ControlID is nothing. In what events can I successfully use this property?
Public Class MyControl

But ControlID is Nothing for some reason and the event throws an exception. ControlID is never changed after initialization and it is initialized this way:

View 23 RepliesTransparent Ruler / Bar Type Control
Nov 14, 2011I am looking for a VB control that operates as a more or less transparent or semi-transparent ruler or bar that can be scrolled up and down the form over an invoice or letter, so that the user can see what is under the ruler/bar and thus stop scrolling when he reaches a certain point.
To give a bit more detail of what I am looking for - such a bar is used when someone is setting the focus on a line of a long list of items so that they know where they are all the time. Most people would use a ruler on a paper list to keep track of how far they have progressed down the list. It would be nice though to have the "ruler" or bar as semi-transparent so that the user can see under where he is at on the list or form.

Dual Listbox Mover Type Control?

I've taken a shot at developing it myself, but am too new to the .Net world to really get anywhere with it other than being completely overwhelmed and frustrated.
