When you configure your SqlDataSource1 make sure you select all from the table and also click on the advanced botton when the new window appears, make sure you check both radio botton and try again

Hi, I starting to development two applications connected to the same MSSQL server one is the back-end and the other one is the front end. I want to do it that way for security proposes, but I came across with saving the path of the images in the database. Since both ends are in different folder or application, if I save the path relate to one application I won’t be able to see it in the other, also I don’t want to have the images duplicated. Any subjection or idea how is that made?

How to merge rows in datagrid

There are three columns in a datagrid and first column will always contains values(for ex 4 records) but the second & third column may contain only 1 value or 4 records so kindly let me know in this type of scenario how to merge the rows and display the single value in middle against the first column values.

Thanks In Advance

Try

Don't know visual basic, but you have to cast the 8800 to a char. You are using 8800 as a string which is wrong.

try

Dim t As Char = ChrW(8800)
ListBox1.Items.Add(t.ToString())

That is a guess as I can't test VB here. I just googled around a bit.

Hi Chandrasekhar

It is best you reply to my original message and not start a new thread. I don't know the product, but I would have thought there would be plenty of samples provided with the Dundas framework, and also from the Dundas website. Do Dundas have a help forum? This forum is for ASP.NET, not for supporting 3rd Party products. Sorry.

Retrieving the text from a textarea in code behind

JacquesDP3-Aug-07 2:59

Hi all,

Im having a little problem retrieving the text from the textarea. I load the text for the text area and display it as follow in the aspx page.

<textarea id="editorArea" name="htmlEditorArea" rows="40" cols="60">
<%=editorAreaText %>
</textarea>

and then in the code behind I want to retrieve the text that has been modified by the user. I tried the following.

HtmlTextArea _textArea = (HtmlTextArea)Page.FindControl("editorArea");
string _content = _textArea.Value.Trim();

But it returns the HtmlTextArea as null and then throws the exception when getting the value that object reference not set to an instance of an object, I know this is because it did not assign the control, but what am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance

Can you not use ASP.NET controls?

<asp:TextBox Rows="40" Columns="60" TextMode=MultiLine></asp:TextBox>

And in the codebehind

string myText = myID.Text;

Unfortunitly not, or I don't know how, the reason being is I'm using a WYSIWYG editor that changes the textarea to an htmlarea, I found it here, it is called HtmlArea.

Basically I have a master page with all my content pages. Each of my content pages contains one of these textareas and it uses the name of the textarea to change it into a HtmlArea, so basically on the content page I have the following.

<textarea id="editorArea" name="htmlEditorArea" rows="40" cols="60">
    <%=editorAreaText %>
</textarea>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnSave" Text="Save Changes" OnClick="btnSave_Click" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnCancel" Text="Cancel Changes" PostBackUrl="~/index.aspx" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2">
    var config = new Object();
       
    config.bodyStyle = "background-color:black;color:white";
    editor_generate('htmlEditorArea',config);
</script>

Thing is because I use a master page, and this is my own conclusion, when I run the page it changes the name of my textarea if it is an asp:textarea and then the editor can't locate the texterea anymore. So I'm kinda forced to use htmltextarea

OK - you need to post the question on the message board on the article - the original author will be able to help. I don't know what he is doing under the covers. Unless somebody else around here can help? Sorry.

As far as I know, the only way the server (codebehind) can access the control is if it has the runat='server' attribute.

As you have the source from the original artical, you should be able to modify it so it renders the runat='server' attribute when it parses the htmlArea and renders it as a text area.

Or....post a question to the author like I said earlier.

aahh - that's a problem then. Try and re-engineer his code to render the runat tag then. Looks like the only solution left. Have a look at the code, if you have trouble, post questions here!! I'm sure somebody will help.
