Re: Display data of User Control from another user control button click

If it weren't javascript that would be much better. Are the user controls nested (is one inside the other) or are they just on the same page? Regardless, if it weren't for the unfortunate javascript requirement I would say the user control with the button needs to fire an event that either the page or the parent control listens for. Then in the handler for that even tell the control with the dropdowns to do whatever it is it needs to do.

Now if you put both user controls in the same update panel all this would work without reloading the page and it would look and act the same from the user's perspective as it would had you done it with JavaScript.

Try following code.

//For paging a Gridview manually we have to handle the Gridview’s PageIndexChanged Event.  
//In the event we need to change the PageIndex of Gridview to the page that user has clicked and again bind the Gridview.

protected void gvPaging_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
   gvPaging.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
   gvPaging.DataBind();
}

//This is all you need to do to make manual paging in the Gridview.
//For manually sorting in Gridview we need to handle the Sorting event of Gridview. Here is the code to do it.

protected void gvSorting_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
{
   DataTable dtSortTable = gvSorting.DataSource as DataTable;

   if (dtSortTable != null)
   {
      DataView dvSortedView = new DataView(dtSortTable);
      dvSortedView.Sort = e.SortExpression + " " + getSortDirectionString(e.SortDirection);

      gvSorting.DataSource = dvSortedView;
      gvSorting.DataBind();
   }
}

private string getSortDirectionString(SortDirection sortDireciton)
{
   string newSortDirection = String.Empty;
   if(sortDirection== SortDirection.Ascending)
   {
       newSortDirection = "ASC";
   }
   else
   {
      newSortDirection = "DESC";
   }

How to create a web application project in the local IIS [SOLVED]

15-Jul-10 15:05

I'm using VS2010 and I can't figure out how to create a Web application project in the local IIS. I only seem to be able to do one of two things:

1. Create a Web Site project in the local IIS. I do this by choosing File>New>Web Site>ASP.NET Web Site with Web location set to File System. Then I click Browse and choose Local IIS.

2. Create a Web Application project in the local file system (not in the local IIS). I do this by choosing File>New>Project>ASP.NET Web Application. No option is provided to use the local IIS, only the local file system. It doesn't do any good to put the project in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\. I still wind up with a location like http://localhost:50758/[^]indicating that I'm using the Web server built into Visual Studio, not my local IIS.

Hopefully there's some additional configuration option I must set in IIS to recognize the location of the project in localhost.

Solution added Friday, July 16, 2010 2:25 PM PST: I had the solution to this problem in my back pocket all the time without realizing it. The first experimental ASP.NET project I ever started (to help me wade into the Wrox book, Professional ASP.NET 4 in C#) accomplished precisely what I was after, but I forgot what I did. After wading through responses I got in this thread (that did not provide the answer) I dug into my project settings and discovered the trick: Within Project>WebApplicationProject Properties on the Web tab, choose the Use Local IIS Web Server option. Then just Create Virtual Directory. Honestly, that's all there is to it.

Oh, yes. You also originally create the project as described above in my #2 item, precisely the option that the Wrox book, Beginning ASP.NET 4 in C# on page 38 warns you against making the "mistake" of choosing because it "is not compatible with the exercises in this book." But I'll bet you I can figure out how to transfer what I learn from this book to a Web Application project that does run under the local IIS. So now I wind up with a location for my Website like http://localhost/PPT/Customers.aspx[^].

For method #1 have you selected http instead of File System?

According to this Wrox book I have by Imar Spaanjaars (Beginning ASP.NET 4 in C#), p. 38, choosing HTTP enables you to open a remote site running IIS with the so-called Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions, so that's not relevant. Also, I'm not interested in my option #1 because I want to create a Web Application project in my local IIS, not a Web Site project.

Neither necessarily is any information you see in forums. I looked at MSDN documentation and what it says is that if the IIS is remote, it has to support Front Page Extensions. That's probably where Imar got his information, but it appears to be irrelevant to what he's telling his readers to do. Nowhere in his book does he entertain the notion that the reader might be interested in using the local IIS.

Of course MSDN isn't always correct either. The only way you know what is stated in a book, forum, or MSDN is true or not is to try it out and see what happens. So I tried out what you suggest and I wound up with a Web Site (no project file), not a Web Application (which has a project file and delivers an assembly, not .cs files). So you're not answering my question.

The other poster in this thread claims to be providing an answer for me, but it requires researching other posts he's made. When I get out from under what I'm currently doing (making my way through the second chapter of the Imar book), I'll look into his answer and hope he provides the answer I'm looking for.

One of the "problems" with the Imar book is that 95% of the book (all but the last chapter) assumes you're using a Web Site (not a Web Application) and the Web server built into Visual Studio (not IIS), so for my needs it has two strikes against it, but it provides all the basics which I need to get straight in my head.

I guess I didn't make it clear that I was only interested in the second case. I looked through both of your articles, looking for the answer to my problem, but I guess I couldn't see the forest for the trees. In the first place, both of your articles use old versions of IIS and VS that I am not running, so the old fashioned look of your screenshots sort of put me off. (Your articles really need updating.) In the second place, your second article was clearly addressing itself to Web Site projects, not Web Application projects and I thought I made it clear that I was only interested in Web Application projects.

In the meantime I started looking through the configuration of the first ASP.NET project that I built for reading along in the Wrox book, Professional ASP.NET 4 in C#. Somehow I had managed to accomplish precisely what I was asking about in my original post in this thread, but for the life of me I couldn't remember what I did! It didn't help to review the early chapters of the above book, because that book is basically a reference that assumes you already know such basic material backwards and forwards and doesn't go into it. That's why I subsequently got the Wrox book, Beginning ASP.NET 4 in C# which fills in all the blanks for ASP.NET beginners, but which unfortunately explicitly states it won't help the reader get up to speed on Web Application projects.

Well, all this mucking around did enable me to figure out how to accomplish what I originally asked: how to use the local IIS to host a Web Application project. I document that in my original post. So thanks anyhow, for prompting me to keep digging away for the answer, which I had in my back pocket all along without realizing it.

Auto Ellipses Label in ASP.Net

Is there a way to duplicate or recreate the auto ellipses feature used in C# so that it can be used on a Web Page using the ASP.Net format. If not, is there an alternate technique that is available that does the same thing, such as a div, panel or whatever?. I will use Java if I have to, but only if there is no other way. Thank you, Pat

AFAIK the auto ellipses property is not supported in ASP.NET. This[^] article may point you to a solution using CSS though, if that's any good to you. You may want to test this against different browsers though...

Need to remove empty space from GridView due to hidden columns

I have a GridView that utilizes two hidden columns. I initially tried to hide the columns using visible=False on the BoundField but that did not work because I could not retreive the values of the cells. I chose to use a cssClass to set the visibility:hidden for each hidden column and it worked. The problem is that the border around the gridview still contains empty space for the hidden columns. How do I remove the empty space from the GridView while still maintaining the hidden columns?

<asp:GridView ID="grdUsers" DataKeyNames="UserIndex" AutoGenerateColumns="False" runat="server" >

JavaScript action result no longer working after converting to partial view.

Early yesterday, the following validation notice was working correctly. Then we converted the Index view where the request for this action originates to use a partial view, and the Delete ActionLink is now inside that partial view, and now the string argument to the JavaScript method call is rendered literally and as the only content on the 'destination' Delete view.

        public ActionResult Delete(int id)
        {
            var perm = JobCardService.CheckBusinessRules(id);
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(perm))
            {
                var notifyCall = "NotifyFailure('You may not delete this Installation: " + perm + "', false, 2000);";
                return JavaScript(notifyCall);
            }

            JobCardViewData viewData = ViewDataFactory.CreateBaseViewData<JobCardViewData>("Installation List");
            return View("Delete", viewData);
        }
