Yes. They can be done using Javascript, HTML !

There are lots of menu's (not exactly the same though, a simpler version) article in CodeProject itself. Search it, try to use the one looks fine to you. You can use, Javascript, jQuery, AJAX based menus to get it. Suit your requirement and knowledge!

Problem with declaring namespace

Hi,

I am trying to use an External Web Service in my Web Site application i am developing. The problem occurs when declaring the namespace such as this:

using namespace.classname

Error: The type or namespace cannot be found.

Does this mean i have to put the C# class file into App_Code folder?

I was wondering if somebody could help me please in terms of replicating the problem i am facing? I am trying to use the following web service:

IMDB Web Service

I have followed the instructions but it still doesnt work. I have even copied the following code from the generated output file which you will see when you access the above URL into my global WebConfig file and it still doesnt work.

I am using .NET Framework 3.5 and VS 2008.

Thanks & Regards,

Count number of records from a tabel and display result in a gridview column at run time.

Hi I am using a gridview to display data from my table at runtime. I am new to ASP.NET.

I am not using boundfields but I am using Template fields. I specify the HeaderText and DataKeys

I am using a web service to provide me a DataSet of the chosen table and bind it to the GridView in page_load event.

I would like to count the number of records from a chosen table and display that in the Gridview.

I have written a method to return number of records by passing in a string parameter product name
but i am not sure of how to invoke the method so the value is shown in the GridView.

How could i go about doing this?

Do i need to invoke the method using Eval like this:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ProductName" SortExpression="ProductName">
      <ItemTemplate>
       <%#GetRowCount(Eval(ProductName))%>
  </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Would the above work?

Thanks,

Why to hit performance(and extra code!) so much when you can get the same information in the dataset of gridview along with other data?

Using webservice when you are getting data, also retrieve the count of rows in it.
Or, if you cannot do that, then before using it as a source to grid, append the count of rows to dataset and use the modified dataset as datasource of your grid. You are all set!

Hi.

I have this updatepanel, with some fields that are getting filled from an ObjectDataSource.
One of the fiels are a date, and i want this date to be marked as red (and maybe in bold) if the date is one day from today or later.

Problem is, I have no clue on how to do this, since I am new to asp.net!
So is there a way to add a method that changes this specific ItemStyle-ForeColor based on the content i get from my datalayer?

This is my updatepanel:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="updatePanel" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
        <ContentTemplate>
            <asp:GridView Width="1200" ID="gvTasks" runat="server" OnRowCreated="gvTasks_RowCreated" 

                DataSourceID="odsTaskList" GridLines="None" AutoGenerateColumns="false" CssClass="mGrid"
                PagerStyle-CssClass="pgr" AlternatingRowStyle-CssClass="alt" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GvTasks_SelectedIndexChanged"
                DataKeyNames="ID">

                <Columns>

                    <asp:BoundField DataField="Enddate2" HeaderText="Enddate" ItemStyle-ForeColor=RED-IF-OVERDUE-EXCEEDED ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign=Center>
                        <HeaderStyle Width="80px" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
                    <asp:BoundField>

                <Columns>
            <asp:GridView>
        <ContentTemplate>
    <asp:UpdatePanel>

Thanks alot!

It does not matter in your case.

You need to use RowDataBound of GridView for this.

protected void GridView_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{  
   DataControlRowType rtype = e.Row.RowType;   
   if (rtype == DataControlRowType.DataRow && rtype != DataControlRowType.Footer 
       && rtype != DataControlRowType.Separator && rtype != DataControlRowType.Header 
       && rtype != DataControlRowType.Pager)   
   {  
      //Logic to get the color needed to be shown    
      Calendar cd = e.Row.FindControl("myCal") as Calendar;
      //Set whatever color you need to!
      cd.ForeColor = Color.Red;
   }
}

Thanks alot for your answer, but I dont quite follow the code.
Whats up with the

Calendar cd = e.Row.FindControl("myCal") as Calendar;

And could you please paste the corresponding .aspx code for the Gridview please?

I am very grateful!

No! i wouldn't

You said you have a calendar inside the grid, so that line gets the calendar control to you.

Looks like you are a fresher. Would suggest you to read book first.

how to draw vertical rule in asp.net

Yes, as stated in the first post, I am new to asp.net.
It´s not a calendar but a simple string which holds the date. The date sorting is being issued elsewhere. But I´ll try changing the calendar to a string and fiddle with it.
Question is just how the page control calls this method. I will google some more.

Thanks.

Hello,
I am looking for a good design pattern that will solve managing Urls in a web application. At this moment, I have a chaos of hard coded url referring in every pages. If I change the page name, I get lost as I dont know how many pages I have to update where I used the url. So, I am assuming, there should be a pattern something named URL Factory etc. Cany you please give me a guidance... !

Another question, does it make any difference in performance if I use absolute URL instead of relative url ? I am thinking of developing a URL factory for my web application and so, if I use Absolute url, it may be easy to manintain my Url factory.

Regards.

There is no pattern for this, although, the MVC pattern may be able to help since urls are based on actions not actual page names. The application should be sufficiently designed so you are not continuously changing file names.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply. I know that MVC solve this problem, but I actually do not like MVC as I am so much fond of event based programming, moreover, I have already developed a complicated ASP.NET Application based on Web Form, so maybe Model View Presenter would be a solution for this. Can you tell me if there is any standard Model View Presenter framework available for Web Forms ?
