Hi guys, i have encountered a problem in finding control.

i have binded data to a label in a datalist to retreive a email and it works. but next, i have a new label by the name of "Testing". How do i grab the bound data from the label to put into a string? i have tried findcontrol. from finding first the datalist then the label control, and directly findcontrol for the label and it still doesnt work. guidance needed!!

Below will be the code i have on hand:

Part of the source code will be like

<asp:label id="Label1" runat="server" text="<%#Eval(" fullname")%>"="" xmlns:asp="#unknown">

How do i grab the eval email value and put to a string? Kindly please help, thanks guys

Hi,
Assume ID for your datalist control is dlist.
Then

string szChandu = (dlist.Items[i].FindControl("Label1") as Label).Text;

should work.
Please note i in the above code is the ith row of the datalist.

ASP.Net Multiline Text Box

Hello,

I am trying to use a multiline textbox in asp.net that will automatically move with the browser as it is resized both horizontally and vertically. I have tried using CSS and percent See Example Below:

***************************************************************************************

<asp:textbox id="txtInfo" runat="server" height="20%" textmode="MultiLine" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
Width="99%" Wrap="False" Font-Bold="False" Font-Names="Courier New"
Font-Size="Medium">

***************************************************************************************

I have also tried using java script

***************************************************************************************

// Subscribe to the onresize window event

window.onresize = Resize;

// Resize the textbox
Resize('txtInfo');

// Resizes the supplied textbox name
function Resize(textBox) {

// Get height - take margins into consideration
var height = parseInt(document.body.clientHeight) - (parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.marginTop) + parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.marginBottom));

// Get width - take margins into consideration
var width = parseInt(document.body.clientWidth) - (parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.marginLeft) + parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.marginRight));

// Set the textbox height and width

if (textBox != null) {
document.getElementById(textBox).height = height;
document.getElementById(textBox).width = width;
}
}

***************************************************************************************

Anyone who can provide me with a little direction would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

Ryan

Just set

Width = 100%

and

Height = 100%

of a textbox. and its done. dont forget to put the text box inside the < div > or < table > tag which also has width = 100%.

So I think your code is ok, no need to use java script just make sure that all the containers of that text box are set to 100% width.

Okay, I tried this (I included the whole page as it is not too much) This code is auto generated by Visual Studio 2008.... The text box resizes by width, but not by height. (I had to remove all greater than and less than's so it would display in the post correctly)

Thanks for your Time

OK. This is odd problem because of soo many browsers we have. every browser render the page differently, so its very difficult to make height 100% in all the browser.

You need to set margin and padding to 0 to avoid scroll bars, if scroll bars are visible, you will not able to get 100% height. also in IE you can use min-height : 100%;.

try this in < style > tag

*
    {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
    }
    
html
    {
        height: 100%;
    }
    
body
    {
        height: 100%; 
    }

or you can just set the Rows of multi line text-box to like 150 or something, or you can modify your java script to change the Rows based on Page height.

I am not sure if this will work in all the browsers.

I am still having no luck. I have set an HTML style overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0px, 0px, auto, auto); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; min-height: 100%;

The Form has a style:
style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden; position: relative; top: 0px; left: 0px;">

The Div that contains the textbox has a style

style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 100%; width: 100%; position: relative; overflow: hidden;">

The text box is set up:

<asp:textbox id="txtRiderInfo" runat="server" height="100%" textmode="MultiLine" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
Width="99%" Wrap="False" Font-Bold="False" Font-Names="Courier New"
Font-Size="Medium" ReadOnly="True" Rows="100">

Unless I set the rows to a large number, the textbox stays small.

With all the years the web has been around, why are the amount of controls and the abilty to make them behave so difficult??

This is a 10 second problem to fix in Java apps, VB6, VB.net, C#......

I do appreciate your help, just can't believe the solution is so complicated.......

Yes thats true. Thatswhy I dont want anymore browsers, because they all follows their own standards for rendering. I think IE8 and FF3 are more standard based. IE6 / IE7 / Safari / Opera have their own rules. so its very difficult to follow. Many developers has more then one .css files for different browser. they detect browser at the index page and then apply the stylesheet based on that.

Problem with Remote Debugging

Hi,

I am trying to debug a web service that is running on a remote machine.
When I try to "step into" a web method I get the following error: "Unable to automatically step into the server. The remote procedure could not be debugged. This usually indicates that debugging has not been enabled on the server".
I have checked the compilation setting in the web.config file and it is definitely set to debug.
I did notice, however, that there is no PDB file for the App_Code.dll
Visual Studio is seemingly supposed to put the PDB file in the BIN folder when the web service is compiled but this doesn't happen when I compile it.
Can anyone tell me if I do in fact need the PDB file to debug remotely and, if I do, where should I look for it when I compile.

Thanks,

dlarkin77

Why you are trying to do so? Client Browser will give him a message for save/open/Run etc... and if clicks on Save, it will save it to default Download location that already set by the user.

Ok...You need to place a Table control in your webpage...

Use the following in your .aspx page

Now in the code behind you can add rows to the table

Table1.Rows.Add(Row32Cell());   

private HtmlTableRow Row32Cell()
    {
        HtmlTableRow tr = new HtmlTableRow();
        for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++)
        {
            tr.Cells.Add(new HtmlTableCell());
        }
        return tr;
    }

why dont you store the value in the database just corresponding to the userdata and load accordingly when user logs in.

This is the same thing that we do, when we are working with themes which are customizable in runtime,. Rose | [Rose]

All,

We have an Asp.net application (C#) that selects the streets of a certain municipality.
It works very well except when we choose one certain municipality. Then it gives an error.
the error message says: "Not a valid bookmark". If I copy the sql query in a winform application with the same provider the query return the correct data.

We're working with OleDb and and an access database with the Jet 4.0 provider.

I searched google and MSDN, but it didn't give me anything useful.

All ideas are welcome.
thanks a lot.
