I have a editable grid in which i have to format some numbers, I have to display numbers in Number format( ex. 1,233) and decimals in Decimal format (Ex: 1,233.45). Now I am displaying using this format({0,0.00}). But my problem is it is displaying the numbers also in decimals (ex: 1,233.00). How can i display numbers in number format and decimals in decimal format.. Is there any format string for displaying like this..

Thanks In advance

How to use "User Controls" in Web Form? [modified]

Hi Net Experts!
This maybe a simple question for you all, but I have not been able to get it works, I created a web form page .aspx, and a user control file .ascx. Here is the code in my .ascx file

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="ControlFormBookSearch.ascx.cs" Inherits="Control_ControlFormBookSearch" %>
   
<table style="padding:0; border:solid 0px;">
<tr valign="middle"> 
<td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:solid 0px">
Keyword:&nbsp;<asp:TextBox ID="searchValue" runat="server" />&nbsp;
</td> 
</tr> 
</table>

From my web form .aspx file, I wanted to access the control searchType this way:

<%@ Register src="ControlBookDetail.ascx" tagname="ControlBookDetail" tagprefix="uc9"   %>
<script runat="server">  
protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        TextBox searchValue = (TextBox)Page.FindControl("searchValue");//never find this control
        if (searchValue != null) 
            Response.Write(searchValue.Text);
        else Response.Write("Bad request"); 
}

But I have not been able to get it to work. Could you please show me how to fix this? thank you for your helps!

Did you add the control to the page by using something like below

<br />
<uc9:controlbookdetail id="ID1" runat="server" properties....="" xmlns:uc9="#unknown" /><br />

protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox searchValue = (TextBox)Page.FindControl("searchValue");
Control searchType = Page.FindControl("searchType"); //never find this control
if (searchValue != null)
Response.Write(searchValue.Text);
else Response.Write("Bad request");
}

This is not the way of using it.
You should write some properties to your control, So that you can directly use your control properties. No need to find each control inside it.

Sherin Iranimose,
I am learning .net, could you give me some example code to do this the correct way.
my web form file:

<%@ Import NameSpace="com.nangmoi" %> 
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web" %>
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPageHome.master" Title="www.nangmoi.com" %>

 <%@ Register src="Control/ControlFormBookSearch.ascx" tagname="ControlFormBookSearch" tagprefix="uc6" %> 
 
<script runat="server">  
    private BookManager objManager = new BookManager();    
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    { 
        if (!IsPostBack){
            
            GridView1.DataSource = objManager.getAuthorByAll();
            GridView1.DataBind();                         
        }
    }
 
    protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //TextBox searchValue = (TextBox)Page.FindControl("searchValue");
        TextBox searchValue = (TextBox)ControlFormBookSearch1.FindControl("searchValue");
        
        if (searchValue != null)
            Response.Write(searchValue.Text);
        else Response.Write("Bad request");  
    }
</script>
<uc6:ControlFormBookSearch ID="ControlFormBookSearch1" runat="server" /> &nbsp;

user control page

<table style="padding:0; border:solid 0px;">

    {
         
    }
    //How do i do this the correct way?? do i create properties like this?
    //then how do i use it from webform?
    public SearchValue{
         get {return searchValue.Text;}
         set (searchValue.Text = value;}

This is sample userctrl with textbox inside:

<![CDATA[<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="usc1.ascx.cs" Inherits="UI_usc1" %>]]>

<asp:panel id="Panel1" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
    <asp:textbox id="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:textbox>    
</asp:panel>

This is aspx page i include the user ctrl in this page, i use findcontrol method of usercontrol object, by using this u can find controls inside the usercontrols.

<![CDATA[<%@ Page Language="C#" %>]]>
<![CDATA[<%@ Register Src="~/UI/usc1.ascx" TagName="Communication" TagPrefix="Samplectrl" %>]]>


<script runat="server">

    protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ((TextBox)usrctrl1.FindControl("TextBox1")).Text = "adasd";
    }
</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

viivekk,
Thank you for pointing that out, what I was missing is:

instead of using:

TextBox searchValue = (TextBox)Page.FindControl("searchValue");

I should use:

TextBox searchValue = (TextBox)ControlFormBookSearch1.FindControl("searchValue");

as ControlFormBookSearch1 is the control id i used in my code.

Thanks again.

Hi

am trying to avoid sql injection.

i want to check only the input provided by the user and not the
viewstate how to avoid checking the view state .

the code i used is below

public static string[] checklist=
{"@@","declare","delete","drop","fetch","fetch_status",
"sys","sysobjects","syscolumns","execute", "update","truncate"};

void app_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpRequest Request = (sender as HttpApplication).Context.Request;
foreach (string key in Request.QueryString)
CheckInputform(Request.QueryString[key]);
foreach (string key in Request.Form)
CheckInputform(Request.Form[key]);

}

private void CheckInputform(string parameter)
{
for (int i = 0; i<checklist.length;> {
if ((parameter.IndexOf(checklist[i], StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0))
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("~/Error.aspx");
}
}
}

Any help

Don't do it that way. Use parameterised queries (text or stored procs), or a decent data layer.

If you try to use a crappy hackish solution based on using a crap data access solution then expect complaints when Mr Joe Sysiman, or fetchdog69@hotmail.com wants to sign up for your services.

ASP.NET should have nothing to do with SQL. Wizards in VS sure don't. Yes, you CAN write code that uses controls that try to magically generate SQL, but situations like this are where they hit their limits, and using them is always a nasty option.

I'd do something like this: say one of your possible things to search for is a name. I'd write a proc that does something like

AND (tb1.Name == @Name OR @Name = '')

In other words, you pass empty strings for things you don't want to look for, and write a proc that deals with them

This was a SQL question, you should ask those in the SQL forum

Christian Graus

Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you. If you're still stuck, ask me for more information.
