VS 2010 User Control Property - Group Attributes?

Apr 2, 2010

this questions has be answered partially, but I can't find any full tutorial for this problem.I created my own user control (an advanced list with columns). Each column has different attributes like width, colour and text.I want to able to add this user control onto a form and select/edit the different attributes of each column. Hence, for each column in my user control (these columns are created beforehand, no columns can be added or removed from it) there should be a property in the property-menu. Each of these column-properties should be expanded (like the normal size-property in most default vb-controls that can be expanded with the little plus to show the width and height individually.What i mean by this, is: In the property-menu there should be attributes like Column1, Column2, Column3. Each of these attributes should be expanded to show the attributes like width or colour.

Currently I have different properties for different values of the same column, like Column1Wodth, Column1Colour, etc, but I want to group this under one value Column1.I think this is quite an easy solution, but forgive me, I spent more than 4 hours on google, but couldn't find a proper solution.

Access User Control Attributes From A User Control?

Mar 27, 2009

I am trying to build a tournament bracket application. In order to build the application efficiently I would like to make a user control "GameControl" that represents a game and give it attributes that represent the names of the competitors "TeamNameA" and "TeamNameB" ,an attribute "Winner" to represent which team should move on, and an attribute "NextRoundGame" that assigns another instance of the user control so that it can assign the "winner" to one of the "TeamName" attributes of the next round in the competition. If the controls were native to VB I feel like I could do it easily (I have only spent about 30 hours self teaching/tutorial following) but I can't seem to find out how to pass values to custom attributes of custom user controls through code.

Asp.net - Programmatically Change Custom Attributes Of User Control In Code Behind?

Jan 21, 2012

I have a User Control which is a customer input form.I'm working on a sales system, when generating a sale, the customer data is populated by a Javascript Auto Complete, but when loading a saved sale, I need to paste a User ID into the control programatically.

<controls:customerDataForm ID='customerForm1' partExchangeMenu="true" showBankDetails="false" customerID="****" runat='server' />

Renders my control on the page within the markup of the parent document (in this case it's called newSale.aspx)In the code behind in newSale.aspx.vb I need to be able to programmtically change the value of the Controls customerID attribute. I can't seem to do it.This is what I have done, following various Googling attempts, but it is always leaving the customerID as zero

Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
customerForm1.customerID = "0" '// default Customer ID if no invoice number
If Request.QueryString("invno") <> "" Then

Bind Property Of User Control To One Of The Parent Control's Fields?

Dec 30, 2011

If I need access to the value of a user control's property BEFORE PreRender, would I need to base the custom control off of one of the preexisting data controls (repeater, listview,etc.)?One of my user controls features a gridview control that is configured based on the user control's properties on which it resides. Several of the key properties alter the SQL Statement for the underlying recordsource. I'm now in a situation where the property that sets the WHERE statement for the SQL Statement needs to tied to a value in the user control's parent FormView. Think of the formview as displaying a customer detail record. The user control takes the customer's account number and then displays data from a related table such as Customer Contact Names. Since the gridview is created before the control's prerender event, working within the prerender event doesn't seem efficient.

Display VB User Control Property In VS IDE?

I built a VB ASP.NET 1.1 Web User Control that contains several properties. I want these properties to display in the VS2003 IDE Properties window, for easy manipulation. However, none of the properties appear! How do I make them show in the IDE?I am a C# guy, and not very familiar with VB, so this is probably a no-brainer. Here's a property, including attributes:

User Control Datatype Property?

Feb 9, 2009

I'd want a text box that at design time the developer can set a datatype property so only a value matching that datatype can be entered at runtime (e.g. If we made the datatype property of a textbox an integer then the user could only enter numbers into that textbox)In additiion I need a further property to replace ".Text". .Text always holds the entered value as a string, I want the new property to contain what has been written into the textbox but as the datatype that has been selected at design time.

Asp.net - Get User Control Property After Server Transfer?

Apr 14, 2011

I have a host page with multiple user controls in it. Some of these controls have a user created property named Enabled, and is boolean.In some controls the default value for Enabled is set to False. In the host page, I am able to access the property and set it to True. The control does what it is supposed to.On this host page there is a "Run Report" button which executes a Server.Transfer to a "Results" page.In the codebehind of the results page, control values from the PreviousPage are checked via other user created Properties for the controls and added to a ParamterList.

I am attempting to check the Enabled property of the controls on the PreviousPage, however when this is done, it appears that the Enabled property is set to that of the default (in this case False), and not what I had set it to on the page when it loaded.Does the value of this property need to be put into a hidden text box or something so its value is available after the ServerTransfer? It seems like any control which contains a value is retrievable via the PreviousPage and its user created property, but any variable set inside of the control is reset back to its default value.

Error While Setting The Property In User Control

Feb 20, 2012

I am using a user control using vb.net. It include the program to retrieve the values from database while giving the paramers. When I set the property from my main program i am getting an error "Invalid attempt to call Read when reader is closed." When i gone to the online help i got the message as follows "System.InvalidOperationException (.NET Framework 4)The exception that is thrown when a method call is invalid for the object's current state. InvalidOperationException is used in cases when the failure to invoke a method is caused by reasons other than invalid arguments. For example, InvalidOperationException is thrown by IEnumerator.MoveNext if objects of a collection are modified after the enumerator is created, or ResourceSet.GetString if the resource set is closed before the method call is made. If the method invocation failure is due to invalid arguments, then ArgumentException or one of its derived classes, ArgumentNullException or ArgumentOutOfRangeException, should be thrown instead.[code]

Setting Default Property Value In User Control?

Aug 24, 2010

I am creating a customised version of the ListView control and there are several of the properties that a ListView has that I would like to be set to a different value to the ListView default when a user goes to use my user control.

From what I've found there seems to be a number of people suggesting just set them in the constructor, but to the best of my knowledge that would just mean that the user would not be able to change the properties in the PropertyGrid in the VS IDE.I assume this is probably something extremely simple that I have overlooked.

Set A Property Of A User Control From Repeater Databound Data?

Mar 28, 2011

I have a user control inside of a repeater that is being bound by a sqldatasource. I get the following error: Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control. EDIT: NEVERMIND Egg on my face. I was getting this databind error because I was binding it somewhere else in an effort to troubleshoot my real problem from last friday but I forgot about it.

WHAT MY REAL PROBLEM IS: The usercontrol is getting bound before the properties get set so it appears as if they are never set. When stepping through I see that they get on the property is hit before the set on the property is hit. For example if I put <%# EVal("Address_ID") %> before the user control I will see the ID displayed but then the user control will display an emptydatatemplate because it is being passed the ID of 0.

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlFacilityAddresses" runat="server" DataSourceMode="DataSet" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" SelectCommand="SP_Facility_GetAddresses" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Trustaff_ESig2 %>">

Strategy To Override Enabled Property Of A User Control?

Aug 5, 2009

I have a usercontrol with a picturebox and a few buttons related to it, such as LoadFromFile, Paste and Zoom (that last one pops up a new form). Is there a way to override the basic Enabled property of the usercontrol so that I can keep the Zoom button active all the time, while turning off the other buttons?

I realize there are 2 "obvious" replies. don't do Enabled=False, create a custom method. do everything in the one form, not a usercontrol, so you can pick and choose disabling. Both are less than ideal, given that I'm putting this control into a couple of existing forms, so I'd like to work around how those forms already behave. So is there a way to override the behavior of my usercontrol when it gets disabled? What would be my best strategy?
