Re: Populate input control on external web page? - ASP.NET Discussion Boards

Good Question.
I just face this problem and find the solution.
So i glad to help to anybody.

see , when u create the requirefieldvalidatio at design time... set the property of it "EANBLED=FALSE"
so when u want to enable it then write the code for it like "requirefieldvalidator1.Enabled=True" and when u want to disable it then set the property "False"

i will give one more example
there is two button. like " save " and "cancle"
so u want "cancle" button cant fire the requirefieldvalidator then set the property of "cancle"
like "causevalidation=False"

it will work 100%

so enjoy..
Smile | :)

Does anyone know a programmatic method of opening an external web page, populating input controls on that page and then submitting it?

The reason I am trying to do this is that I want to submit details to an external web site but I wish to do this via a page that I have created (so that I can capture the information also).

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Smile | :)

+ You can use the HttpWebRequest[^] object to submit data to an external web page, then read the result from the Response object. You can read more about this in MSDN[^].

+ Another option is to use the WebBrowser control to load the web page, then you can read the document object to get reference to the input controls and populate them, and finally submit the web page.

Hi minhpc_bk and thanks for your help.

I had a look at using the HttpWebRequest object and can see how you can use this to retrieve the html that makes up the specified URL. However, I couldn't work out or find and examples of how you can use this object to populate a web control with data and submit the page.

Would you need to use the HttpWebResponse object in conjuction with the HttpWebRequest object?

Thanks again.

Hi Matt,
In fact, you don't use the HttpWebRequest to populate a web control, instead you use it to send data to a specified URL with the Post/Get method. Let me briefly describe it in a couple of steps in order to make it clear:

- Use the HttpWebRequest object to make a request to a specified URL.
- Read the output html markup from the HttpWebResponse object.
- You can choose a value for an input element from the retrieved html markup by using the regular expression, I mean you can use the Regex class to process the markup to select a value for an element like the dropdownlist, for the TextBox, you no need to process the markup.

Another way to visually choose a value for the input element is that you load the result html markup to a web browser control, then use the document object of the browser control to populate the input element.

- Arrange the data that you're gonna submit in the expected format, then use the HttpWebRequest object to submit data to the destination URL.

Like I said in the previous post, in addition to the HttpWebRequest object, you can also use the web browser control to navigate to a specified URL, and access the document object of the control, then you are able to get reference to the input control to populate it, it simulates the way you select a value for the input control in the browser.

You normally use the HttpWebRequest to make a request to a specified URL to get info, and then in order to read the result html markup sent back from the server you will use the HttpWebResponse object (which is accessed from the GetResponse method of the HttpWebRequest object that you use to make a request earlier).

Hi minhpc_bk,

Thanks for your help - that makes a lot more sense. Apologies for not replying sooner but I have been away for a few weeks.

Thanks again.

Matt.

I am working on an ASP.NET application.. I have a form with a dropdownlist that is attached to the column of a database.

I will like the rest of the textboxes to be field up automatically depending on the selection from the dropdownlist. Values are all in the same table... can anyone help with this?

Commickey

Hi Commickey,

If you add a SelectedIndexChanged event handler to your code, you can determine what the user has selected in the drop down list by interogating the SelectedValue of the control.

Once you have this information you can then go back to your database table and retrieve associated information and populate the relevant text boxes.

Hope this helps.

Matt,

Thanks for the reply...

can you please help me with some sample code?

Thanks alot...

Commickey

Hi Commickey,
Set autopostback property to that dropdownlist is true in the property window.

When ever you select a item in the drop down listbox, dropdown box index changed event will be fired. You write code to dispaly that row details in the tables.

double click on the dropdown box in design time you will get event function, write the code in that funcnction,

I guess it will work for you

A more elegant method would be to use AJAX - no need for postbacks (bleuuuugh!)

I have 2 pages that validate (using validation groups) the users inputs and store them in a cookie. The first page validates and puts the in a cookie, then redirects the user to a second page where the values from the cookie are read, modified then written (overwrites the former value) in the cookie.
The code for the two pages resembles, here is a sample:

String t, s,t1;
int i = 0;
s = "";
t = "";
if (Page.IsValid)
{
t = GetCookie("test");//reads the value from the cookie possible place where the error lies.

lbl1.Text = t;
try //transforms the string in
{
lbl1.Text = t;
t1 = t.Remove(0, 9); to get the value
i = Int32.Parse(t1);
calcul(i); //calculates the new values
}
catch (Exception w) { lbl3.Text = "Conversion did work."; }
s = Convert.ToString(i);
SetCookie("test", s, 1);//writes the new value in the cookie
Response.Redirect("Test_3.aspx"); //redirects to a new page
}
The functions I tested them and work well on their and with each other

Hi,

I've got a problem ... Being new to ASP.NET 2.0 programming (I wrote a lot of classic ASP, and skipped the ASP.NET 1.x step ...), I'm discovering the fantastic world of WebControls.

I wrote one whose goal is to display a square box including a title, a little description and a list of links, and called it LinkBox. I would like to include child tags in the source code of my aspx pages using it, to set some items for the list, in fact, it seems to be like the ListBox behaviour. The only thing is that I don't want to use asp:ListItem objects, but my own created LinkBoxItem which contain 4 string properties.

The using code would be :

<SMWeb:LinkBox ID="LinkBox1" runat="server" Text="This is a description" Title="Title of the box"><br />
<SMWeb:LinkBoxItem Target="_blank" Desc="" Title="Site 1" url="http://www.site1.com/"></SMWeb:LinkBoxItem><br />
<SMWeb:LinkBoxItem Target="_blank" Desc="" Title="Site 2" Url="http://www.site2.com/"></SMWeb:LinkBoxItem><br />
<SMWeb:LinkBoxItem Target="_blank" Desc="le meilleur !" Title="Site 3" Url="http://www.site3.com/"></SMWeb:LinkBoxItem><br />
</SMWeb:LinkBox>

When I view the result at runtime, everything works well, but in the designer, in design view, I get a grey box containing the text :
"Error when creating control - LinkBox1
Unable to define 'SMWeb:LinkBox' for property 'Items'."
(I translated from my French Visual Studio 2005 version ...)

In order to keep this message short, I don't paste the whole piece of code of my WebControl, LinkBoxItem object and ListBoxCustomBuilder, but you can have a look at it there if you think you could help me (which I would appreciate SO much !) :
