That works if I'm trying to resolve a path from a page in the web project. However, I'm trying to accomplish the same from inside a class library referenced by the web project.

The class library code is running in appdomain of the web application so you have access to the HttpContext.Current.Server.

I managed to solve my own problem, and here it is:

string strDataDirectory = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetData("DataDirectory").ToString();

menu parent backcolor when hovering child menu

Have a menu control working fine, but need a couple tweaks. Example (assumes background white, hover background gray, also using css)
<asp:MenuItem Text="Cat" NavigateUrl="#" />
<asp:MenuItem Text="Persian" NavigateUrl="#" />
<asp:MenuItem Text="Calico" NavigateUrl="#" />
</asp:MenuItem>
<asp:MenuItem Text="Dog" NavigateUrl="#" />
<asp:MenuItem Text="Golden" NavigateUrl="#" />
<asp:MenuItem Text="Collie" NavigateUrl="#" />
</asp:MenuItem> Anybody know how or a tutorial that will show me how to do two things:
1. When hovering over "Collie", have the background of Dog be the hover color.
2. When hovering on "Collie" item but not on "Collie", have the entire item background be gray. Right now, if the text is short, and you hover to the right of the text within the item, the background remains white behind the text. I would like for the background to turn gray on the parent item, and the entire single item now matter where the mouse appears.
Thanks so much,
Janet

You'll need to use another control or write some custom javascript to handle these actions.

The menu control is rendered as a html table with the items as anchor tags in the cells. You would need to write some javascript to handle the onmouseover event of each anchor tag and adjust the colors as appropriate.

When you say "use another control" - can you suggest one that would do as I would like? Or, would they all have the same rendering problem?

And/or, do you know of a control or someone who has written the onmouseover for the menu control as you have described? Perhaps one you could recommend for a fee?

The main thing I'm looking for is the parent to retain the 'hover' color when on it's child.

Another third party control may provide better a experience for you. Without knowing your complete requirements or architecture I can't really recommend one.

If you want ot contact me offline we can discuss it further.

That's nice. It's usually more helpful to include the error when asking for help.

In this case however it isn't necessary. You are trying to use a server method (Response.Redirect) from the client side in your Javascript. It won't work.

DataGrid dropping values

I am building a shopping cart type web application. There are two web forms. The first web forms allows a user to select products. The second allows a user to enter quantities for each product selected in the first web form. I use a disconnected datatable to maintain and update selected products and quantities.
The problem is that the datagrid drops any quantity values entered by the user(there is only 1 input TextBox for each row in the datagrid). The code-
foreach(DataRow dr in dtShoppingCart.Rows)
{
if(((TextBox)dataGridItem.FindControl("txtSKU")).Text.ToString() ==
dr["SKU"].ToString())
{
dr["Quantity"] = ((TextBox)dataGridItem.FindControl ("txtQuantity")).Text.ToString();
break;
}
}
Any ideas?

Databinding is happening on the grid as it is being reposted to handle, which restores the textboxes to the original state.

Look at the Checkboxes and Textboxes section

For the most part that makes sense. Currently I am using a datatable. Do I update the rows in the datatable in the OnQtyChanged method and then rebind that to my datagrid? Does the OnQtyChanged method a replacement for the onclick event I am using now?

Hey,

I am trying to place some plain text/html on my .net web page using the code behind page but I can't seem to do it.

Response.Write justs puts any text at the very top of my page and I can't work out if I have to use panels, placeholders or anything else to do the job. I can put a panel where I want it but the text is generated on the page load and needs to be postioned from there - or written into the relevant control, but I just cant work it out.

Can someone please help?

thanks

Use a control, such as label, and position it where you would like. Then in the code-behind set the text as appropriate.

ok, that would be fine but...

I'm generating a written list of files within a specific folder that will need to be written to the page in the form of hyperlinks, each one having a different querystring attached.

As the folder and number of files change, I will not know how many individual lines I will need to write and would need to put each line in a new lable (correct me if i'm wrong, its a regular occurance).

any further suggestions?

thanks for the response

Use a repeater control. It can be bound to a list, such as the list returned from System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(). Then using databinding expression, or handling the events, the hyperlinks can be formatted as necessary. This will allow for flexibility in the number of items displayed and isolate the logic for obtaining the items.
