Asp.net - Refer To User Control's "strong" Type
Apr 28, 2011
I 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?

I've pieced together some information from other posts but I'm stuck. The first part works fine. Basically I query the database using LINQ and then I loop through the results generating a report.

I am trying to create a vertical progressbar type user control.
I want to be able to set the max / min of the progressbar as well as setting the value
But the thing I want is able to have green at the bottom fading into red up the top like in this image: [URL]
But I don�t know how or where to start.
Is there a custom progressbar I can use?

I'm adding web user controls to a page dynamically. Using the LoadControl method that only takes a virtual path pointing to the .ascx works pretty nicely. However, the overload of LoadControl that takes a type and an array of parameters is causing me some headaches. The web user control is instantiated as expected, but the controls contained within the web user control are null and I get an exception as soon as I try to work with them. Strange, because it's working when use the first version of LoadControl.
The web user control, simple, with a Literal control:
<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="MyControl.ascx.vb" Inherits="MyControl" %>
<asp:Literal ID="myLiteral" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
The controls' code behind:
Public Class MyControl
Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
Public Property Data As MyData
[code]....
And the relevant code from the .aspx from which I'm trying to dynamically load the control:
Private Sub Page_Init(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
Dim x = LoadControl(GetType(MyControl), New Object() {New MyData With {.ID = 117}})
Page.Controls.Add(x)
[code]....

I am creating a User Control where I have a property called Items. Items is of type LibraryPanelBarItem Collection (custom class) which contains a collection of LibraryPanelBarItem objects. I would like to be able to add these at design time by using the Collection editor that VS uses for adding things such as treenodes/listviewitems. Ideally I would also be able to declaratively add them to the html syntax. I can get the Items property to show up but I get no intellisense to add the items between the opening and closing tags.

Is it possible to create a user control with a list of custom class type property? If it is, how can I? The issue is that, in designer mode the property is not displayed in property window. I can add the list on markup but when i switch to the designer mode it gives an error which is 'The user control does not have a public property named BookList'.

Im 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!

I have a problem with using a script that adds a NiceEdit toolbar to a text area when that text area is within an Ajax tab.I want to know if I should refer to it in a different way than just the ID.I mean the ID of that text area, I tried to take the text area outside the Tab Container, it works, but when I return it, it simply doesn't.[code]

Suppose 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...

I'm an Access/VBA programmer new to vb.net. In Access I can do this using the controls collection of form, but I can't figure out how or even if I can do it with vb.net.
I want to change this:
'tcpWeek(x) is a tab control page
My.Forms.frmBookMain.tcpWeek1.Text = "Mytext1"
My.Forms.frmBookMain.tcpWeek2.Text = "Mytext2"

I created a simple user control and everything went fine.Then I created another of the same control (as a different project) from scratch (creating the controls in a different configuration; but pasting code from the previous one from a text file).As far as I know I did everything the same for creating a user controlCreate a Class Library project Then Project>Add New Item> User Control Then delete the initial class that was added automatically (usually named Class1.vb) Put all of my code and components into the user control class.However, when I wanted to run it in the debugger as I did in the previous project, I now get an error message:"A project with an Output Type of Class Library cannot be started directly."

I have an aspx page that has two different user controls. I want to find user control A and be able to set properties, etc., from user control B.
I was thinking I could do something like this:
Dim CMFilters As Control = Me.Parent.FindControl("CMFilters")
...but that doesnt work to be able to set properties and call methods. I somehow need to get the user control and and declare it as that user control type.

Actually this is vb6 to .net converted code. I m getting compile error at following line
temp = Lset(DispElem(i)) bcz Lset is not supported in .Net Lset accept string data type for first parameter and interger for second.If you know any alternet solution or if you have any source code for Explicit convert UDT to string type and vice versa.

In a user control I have the code shown below.
I now realize that it is incorrect because the container's InitializeComponent property initializations have not run yet and they must be run prior to Refresh being called.
How (where) can I run Refreash after the container has initialized this user control.[cod]e...

I need something tje user can type in data to such a parts QTY cost etc. There are no predefined parts list so the user can enter any part name/Number and there is no limit to amount of parts that can be entered.
Does anyone have any idea what might be useful. It was thinks of a listview bu i can't see that you can type into that. I cant use comboboxs because there are no predefined list and i know there is some way to generate text at runtime (i think) but i don't know how to do it and i would prefer a clearer approach.

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.

Say I have a class with one property

I have to pass the name of the property to a function call. (Please don't ask why it should be done this way, its a third party framework). For example SomeFunc("MyItem") But what I would like to do is, change the string into a strongly typed parameter. Meaning, if the property name is renamed or changed, it should be reflected here too. So something of this type :
