Table Rows

All,
I can only add one row to a Table control. Is there a property that
restricts adding multiple rows? I've tried several different ways.
I've gotten to the point where I can add the information I need for
the second row but it only replaces the original info from the first
row, resulting in still only one row.
ThanksHow exactly are you trying to do this, in code, based on populating from
database?
(show us how you're trying to do it)

Here's the code I'm using, the 'else' statement below never gets ran
regardlesss how many times the cmdAdd button is clicked.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ddlQuantity.Items.Clear();
ddlItem.Items.Clear();
ddlQuantity.Items.Add("1");
ddlQuantity.Items.Add("2");
ddlQuantity.Items.Add("3");
ddlQuantity.Items.Add("4");
ddlItem.Items.Add("Test");
ddlItem.Items.Add("Test2");
Session.Add("RowCount", (int)ItemTable.Rows.Count);
}
protected void cmdAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Convert.ToInt32(Session["RowCount"]) == 0) //For the first
time cmdAdd is clicked
{
row.ID = "row" + ItemTable.Rows.Count.ToString();
cell.Width = 343;
cell.ID = "cell" + ItemTable.Rows.Count.ToString();
cell2.Width = 125;
cell2.ID = "cell2" + ItemTable.Rows.Count.ToString();
cell2.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center;
ItemTable.Rows.Add(row);
row.Cells.Add(cell);
row.Cells.Add(cell2);
ItemTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Text = ddlItem.Text;
ItemTable.Rows[0].Cells[1].Text = ddlQuantity.Text;
ItemsToOrder items = new ItemsToOrder();
items.ItemName = ddlItem.Text;
items.Quantity = ddlQuantity.Text;
Session.Add("ItemOrder", items);
Session["RowCount"] = ItemTable.Rows.Count;
}
else //For every other time the button is clicked
{
txtPendingShip.Text = "Test";
}
}
Is there any reason you would need to rebuild the items in the dropdownlist
on every postback, and not surround it with an if/then/postback block?

I was going to address that once I got past the row adding hurdle,
I've been stuck on that for about a day now...

Try
ItemTable.Rows.Add(row.Clone);
otherwise you're always adding a /reference/ to the same variable rather
than the data in that variable.

Table...StyleSheet...CellPadding = 0, I cant do it :(

Having a very bad day :(
Why does .NET default to CellPadding and CellSpacing of 2?!
How on earth can I set them to all be 0.
I tried adding a table style to the style sheet, but cellpadding and cellspacing do not come up in intelisense :(
Any ideas?
WokaWhy is that VS.NET's fault? :rolleyes:

For cellpadding:

padding: 0 0 0 0;

For cellspacing, it's best to leave it in the table tag, I haven't seen a 'universal' solution to cellspacing in CSS.
That's what I would have thought.
In my CSS file I have:

TABLE
{
border: solid 0px Red;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

TR
{
border: solid 0px Blue;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

TD
{
border: solid 0px Lime;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

Yet, as you can see from the attached pic, the images do not sit next to each other.
I am forced to add cellpadding and cellspacing to the table directly in my ASPX page (code in front).

The border props are only there for testing. The tables and cells etc do take on all the properties from my style sheet, apart from the cellpaddingthing etc :(

WOka
You should be using floating div's for a menu control anway ;)

Anyway, those 'cells' could be easily duplicated with span tags with a style padding of 10px.

<span style="padding:5px;">Home</span><span style="padding:5px;">About Us</span><span style="padding:5px;">Products</span>

Tabs

Does anyone know any good websites for using asp.net web controlled tabs dynamically. For example adding validation using the tabs.

Cheers

What do you mean by:
>> adding validation using the tabs
Regards
I have a tab page which contains eight tabs. In each of the tabs is fields for a user to fill out. I was wondering when the user clicks on the next tab it will validate what was in the previous tab. e.g. they fll out their address details on one tab but forget to put in a postcode, I want it to validate this before they can access the next tab.
Cheers
This depends on if your tabs post back to update or not.
If they post back:
- Usually only the web controls that are visible in the tab are also marked Visible=true. All the rest are Visible=false. That prevents the validators that are invisible (or attached to invisible controls) from validating.
- The result allows the post back action to validate only the contents of the current tab. Its easiest on the server side, by calling Page.Validate() on the post back event handler for the Tab control (like its Click method). Then test Page.IsValid is true before allowing the tab to switch. If you want to add some client-side code to the tab's event that switches, you should call the same code used by submit buttons:
Page_ClientValidate()
If it returns true, continue switching tabs. False, stop switching tabs.
If they do not post back:
- This means all of the web control - even those that are hidden - are represented in HTML on the page. Those that are hidden have a style value of 'visibility:hidden' or 'display:none".
- If you were to call Page.Validate on the server side or Page_ClientValidate() on the client-side, all validators would fire. That includes the invisible ones. Those invisible ones would report an error (like the field hasn't been filled in yet via a RequiredFieldValidator). So it would not work.
- The solution is to use Validation Groups - available in ASP.NET 2.0 or myProfessional Validation And More. You define a group name for each tab. When you validate, you pass the group name for the tab into Page.Validate() or Page_ClientValidate().
- In addition, if you used my Professional Validation And More, the validators can be setup to detect that the data entry controls which they evaluate are invisible and will not attempt to validate them.
