Re: Why I can't submit a article?

If you're too stupid to work this part out, perhaps you should wait a while before writing articles ?

The author id:

- cannot be empty
- is an integer
- is not your email address

It's kind of silly that you're asked to enter this, it should just get it from your login, I'd have thought. But, it's your CP user id. Mine is 6556, for example.

Web Forms from Database

I am looking for some information on creating a system that will store Form Layouts in a database. I see all kinds of web form creators on the market but I want to try to do it myself so I can customize it to my liking. Does anyone have any links or information on the best way to store the form layout in a database and just have a page get the layout and the submit action from the database and create a web form on the fly. Any help or guidance on this would be appreciated.

That depends upon what you want to save. If you want to save the flexible layout i.e. position and state then you can use WebParts. If you just want to save colours and fonst (look-n-fell) then just use Themes / Skins. and if you want to save all the things then you can use both. Smile | :)

You can use WebParts.i.e. create a webpart with some property, and asp.net will store all the properties associated with webpart in the sql server database. and it will retrieve and render the webpart according to the user logged in, when you redirect the use to that page.

I forgot ASP.Net Personalization and User Profiles[^].

What I am looking for is a way to give users the ability to design forms and save that layout to a database. For instance the user could place a textbox on the form, a checkbox, and a TextArea. I am looking for the best way to save that to a database so that when a user comes to a page and the form ID could be passed in the Querystring the form layout that is saved in the database would be displayed.

I was thinking something like a Forms table that would have the FormID in it an a table that would have the fields in it with the form ID they belong to and the layout of where they belong on the form and such. I see all kinds of Form Builders on the web with the ability to save that form somewhere. I am sure that is in a database somewhere? I just want users to be able to build forms dynamically and save them to a database so I don't have to keep building the forms for them.

OK. In that case its better to buy some 3rd party tool, because developing such a solution is a long and complex thing. and I have never used such product. so sorry for that... Smile | :)

Repeater Control and SQL DataBase

Hi,

I need to set up a Repeater control that will display summary information on my Webform using C#. I have a stored procedure that selects the Tool_ID, Tool_Name, and Tool_Quantity based on the Category ID that is passed through the session. I need to show the returned information in columns as such:

Tool Id ToolId ToolId
Tool Name Tool Name Tool Name
Tool Quantity Tool Quantity Tool Quantity

Right now this is what I have in my .aspx file:

<asp:content id="Content1" runat="server" contentph="><br mode=" hold=" /><asp:UpdatePanel ID= " upd=" runat=" server="><br mode=" lblcategory="" xmlns:asp="#unknown">

<td>
<asp:repeater runat="server" id="rptToolInfo">
<headertemplate> Summary </headertemplate>
<itemtemplate>
<td>
Tool ID: <asp:label runat="server" id="lblid" text="<%# DataBinder.Eval(" tool_id=")%> /><br mode=" hold=" />Tool:<asp:Label runat=" server=" ID=" lblname=" Text="><![CDATA[<%# DataBinder.Eval("TOOL")%>]]> />
Tool Quantity:<asp:label runat="server" id="lblqty" text="<%# DataBinder.Eval(" tool_quantity=")%> /><br mode=" hold=" /></td><br mode="></asp:label></asp:label></td></itemtemplate></asp:repeater></td></asp:content>

Need help with ImageButton

16-Feb-09 9:56

I would suggest you need to use a pivot table, the best way to do this is to massage your data so it's in this format. If you can't do that, then a repeater is ideal, b/c what you can do is have the repeater creating columns in a table for each item of data.

You will need to write javascript to do this, I don't believe the control supports it directly.

In Page_Load Add

btnAYes.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "src = 'images/pic1.png'")
btnAYes.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "src = 'images/pic2.png'")
btnAYes.Attributes.Add("onmouseclick", "src = 'images/pic3.png'")

Like this you mean:

<img name="img1" src="/images/whatever1.gif" onmouseover="document.images['img1'].src = '/images/whatever2.gif';" onmouseout="document.images['img1'].src = '/images/whatever1.gif';">

I never thought about that until you asked why not. D'Oh! | :doh:

The other method has always done what I needed.

Christian Graus16-Feb-09 12:03

16-Feb-09 12:03

Yeah, both ways work, I guess the real question is, when you're maintaining the code, which is the place you're most likely to expect to see this set ? I'd expect that depends on the coder, you're used to looking in one place, I am used to looking in the other.

Jörgen Andersson16-Feb-09 12:10

For maintaining the code, it's definitely better in the aspx.
But I just remember why I used the other method, i didn't get it to work in the aspx.
And neither did I now.
But I'll have a look into that tomorrow. It's way to late for my brain now.

Jörgen Andersson16-Feb-09 22:54

16-Feb-09 22:54

Well, I don't get it to work in the aspx. Asp:ImageButton doesn't support OnMouseOver or OnMouseOut natively.
But if you know how to do it in the aspx I'm definitely interested.
