table sizing

I am in my second chapter of trying to learn asp.net and I have my first issue. I am working on an example that asks that I create a HTML table 4x2(RxC) via the web matrix interface. I am not using web matirx, I am with the Visual.NET IDE.
I have inserted a table on the webForm via the HTML tool box, the one under components, and I can not create the 4x2 table. Each time I change the Rows to 4, it keeps getting changed back to 2 when I apply the change.
Why?Vs 03 is notorious for screwing up html code.
Best bet do this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Alternativly i think theres an insert table command on the menu for vs03, which should let you specify 4x2 and insert you a new table.
Or if the book is working from Web Matrix then maybe you should too, after all its a free download from this site :)
Hope this helps,
Andrew
You may be better off using the web form table, not the one on the html portion of the toolbox.
Use the table menu in the top menu bar.

Thanks, I am learning quickly the quirks of VS.

Table Web Control

I'm using a Table web control to dynamically create checkboxes, and check/uncheck/enable/disable them based on values returned from different datasources. In this case, I'm using several DataTables.

I've completed the table on load, and all of the checkbox controls load up as expected, however I now need to submit any changes based on the users values. I've been googling for a good article on the Table web control but haven't found anything that will help. Does anyone know of any articles, or have sample code for maintaining state of these controls and iterating through them so I can create my dynamic SQL based on selections?

Thanks.From the SDK:

"Note: Programmatic additions or modifications to a table row or cell will not persist across posts to the server. Table rows and cells are controls of their own, not properties of the Table control. Changes to table rows or cells must be reconstructed after each post to the server."

Ok, so I think that answers my viewstate problem. I DO recreate this table on page load everytime, so I don't think I need to worry about that.

Any help on muddling through the selected checkboxes of a dynamically created table web control, would still be very beneficial to my cause.
Ugh, I'm fried here...

The viewstate will STILL be a problem, because I wasn't thinking that with each postback, my table would just be re-created, therefore I won't get the modified values on submission.

I keep talking to myself but oh well...

Just to reiterate, I need help on maintaing state for a dynamically created table web control, and how to iterate through the controls that were created in that table on postback.
Dear Forum,

Hi! It's me again!

Ok, so after a little more research I found that people are suggesting the Request.Form() to collect information about the controls. Does that sound right? I guess if you can't take advantage of viewstate in this situation, then Request.Form() is the way to go.

Taking that into consideration, I don't think I can really "iterate" through the controls in my dynamic table, but maybe create some variables that will hold the number of checkbox controls say, when I create the table. So maybe it would look something like this:

pseudocode -
' Creating the table
Dim cb as CheckBox
Dim cbCounter as Int32
'Dynamically create checkbox here and increment the checkbox counter

Then later when I retireve the values within my table...

'Go through each of the checkboxes and determine the value
for x=0 to cbCounter.Length - 1
'check the value of checkbox "x" here

Does this sound like a logical resolution? Am I taking this too far and there is an easier path that I'm missing here? Does anyone really care at this point? :)
Hi FrankWhite,

I'm having the same problem here. I'm fetching values from a MySQL database, I show them in a nice table with checkboxes. But when the user clicks "submit" my checkboxes are lost (since my table won't keep them).
So I'm looking for the same solution: how can I keep all generated checkboxes, so I can check which of them are checked by the user?

If someone has experience with this scenario and knows how it can be done, please post it here for me and FrankWhite ;)

Thanks in advance!
1. Try to stay away from dynamically creating controls that need to keep their values during postbacks.

2. Modify the way you search for information. More than 50% of programming involves just trying to find out how to do stuff. Your problem is not with viewstate, but with the ASP.NET lifecycle.

To answer both your question, you will need some patients.This article will answer your questions, but you have to read every word carefully. DONT skip to the end and read the conclusion as you will miss out on important things that you should learn.

(Haven't read the article yet)

I did come to a solution the other day. Basically on Page_Load my table is recreated everytime. When the submit button is pressed, I simply do Request.Form() on the checkbox controls. I don't have the code in front of me at the moment, but I basically did the following to solve my problem.

1.) Created a variable that would serve as a counter for my checkboxes.
2.) When the checkbox was created, I would give it the id: "chk_" & chkCtrls (variable that was the counter)
3.) In the btn_submit() I created a loop to iterate through each of the checkbox controls (well not really the controls, rather the # of controls). In the loop I would check if the checkbox was checked and do something according to that:

for x = 0 to chkCtrls
if Request.Form("chk_" & x) = "On" Then
'do something
end if
next

There was a lot more to it then this for my situation, but I think this will give you a good idea. Let me know if this helps, or if you figured out a different solution. In the meantime, I'll need to peep this article...
I used the same solution, I recreated my checkbox collection each time in Page_load, and used Request.Form to check wether the "check all" was checked or unchecked to set a default checked value on each checkbox (true/false). Then on the submit button I used Request.Form again to check the status of each generated checkbox by checking for controls like "chk" + intID.
This does the trick I needed very well.

I'll take a look at the article as well, in case this is not the right way of programming this :)

Thanks for the help,

Alright, alright, I'll give you the jist of it. I'm not an expert in this (just been reading around a lot) so here goes.
Basically, the ASP.NET life cylce loads your info like this:

Page_Init
Load ViewState
Page_Load
Run any controls functions (e.g. button_click functions, etc.)

From this you can see that if you create controls dynamically, then they will be displayed on the page; but their viewstate will not be 'loaded'. What we need is a way to create the controls before the Load Viewstate state.

Solution: If you are using VS, the you know there is a region called " Web Form Designer Generated Code ". In this you will find:

 'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
 <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
 End Sub
 Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
 'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
 'Do not modify it using the code editor.
 InitializeComponent()
 End Sub

All you need to do is call the function that creates the dynamic controls from within the Page_Init function. That's it (i think - havent got a chance to try it).

But please, read the article. You will have a better understanding of ASP.NET which means better pages (and maybe a pay rise - you can tell why I read the aticles ;-)

Table. Look Everywhere. Please help me out.

Hello,

I need to create a Table at runtime and I need the TBody tag to be:

<tbody id="itemContainer" runat="server"></tbody>

I need to to define its ID and making it run at server.

I tried everthing I could think of.

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Miguel

you can use a placeholder and do a placeholder.controls.add(pass the tablehere, table is your server object)

You didn't understand. I have no problems in working at runtime.

I create everything at runtime. The problem is that I can't find a property/way to define the ID of a Table's TBody tag when created at runtime.

Thanks,

Miguel

Hi Miguel,

Based on my understanding, you want to add the table in your asp.net application dynamically. If I have misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.

The tbody is the html control. We can add the server table dynamically. For example,

Table t = new Table();
t.ID = "t";
TableHeaderRow hr = new TableHeaderRow();
hr.ID = "hr";
t.Controls.Add(hr);
TableCell tc = new TableCell();
tc.ID = "tc";
hr.Controls.Add(tc);
tc.Text = "test";

form1.Controls.Add(t);

I hope this helps.

TableAdapter Insert (Primary Key)

Hi

I have just started to learn ASP.Net. However I have some experience with ASP.

Anyway I have created a asp-form which should create a new entry in the database after you have clicked the submit button.

I created a tableadapter and following simple code:
tbUsersTableAdapter topAdapter=new tbUsersTableAdapter();
topAdapter.InsertUser(DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now,true,false, txtNickname.Text, 2, txtEMail.Text, txtPassword.Text,"");

Here is the SQl Command without the primary key:
INSERTINTO[tbUsers] ([CDate], [MDate], [ADate], [Active], [Activated],[Nickname], [Role],, [Password],[IP])VALUES (@dotnet.itags.org.CDate, @dotnet.itags.org.MDate, @dotnet.itags.org.ADate, @dotnet.itags.org.Active, @dotnet.itags.org.Activated, @dotnet.itags.org.Nickname, @dotnet.itags.org.Role, @dotnet.itags.org.eMail, @dotnet.itags.org.Password, @dotnet.itags.org.IP)

This works fine as long as I put the ID (Primary Key) into the Insert command. But I don't know how I can find out the next avaiable primary key. I have thought it would be automatically incremented. Anyway I went to the properties of the tableadapter and there was a property which I switched on for my primary key field "AutoIncrement". However it still doesn't work.
Before I used to work with MS Access and OleDB Connection. There I just skipped the Primary Key Value and it has been created automatically. Here I get an error message that the primary key can't be null.

I hope somebody could help me with that or has an idea what I'm doing wrong.

thx

Hi

I searched and tried out a lot of things. Finally I found the problem today. I had to open the table with the Server Explorer. Actually I set my ID field to Primary Key but I forgot to set the Identity Column. After I set the Identity Column to my ID field it worked... great;-)))) Now I can just add a new record with skipping the Primary Key and it will be generated automatically.

thx all

TableAdapter: How do I create one which inserts values from a form into two tables?

I am creating a simple booking system. The system requires the users
to provide information regarding themselves and also the booking
detail. I want to send the data into two tables. One, the personalinfo
table and another bookinginfo. The bookinginfo, also has a column for
personalID which links it to the personalInfo table. How can I do this
with eiter an ASP button control use a table adapter to do it.
Sorry if this sounds trivial but I am really new to ASP and SQL.
RegardsYou'd need to simply write the data out to the table. Have a look at the
connection objects in .NET there is actually a lot of code that already does
what you want posted all over the web.

I can't remember if this answers your question directly, but it should help:
http://www.peredur.uklinux.net/TypedDataSets.pdf
This example project (which is really about forms authentication), uses
a Typed DataSet. It definitely shows you how to use the Typed DataSet
using the column names:
http://www.peredur.uklinux.net/Form...ticationSln.zip
Note that the zip file contains a complete .NET solution. I cannot
guarantee that it is virus-free. I think it is; but I can't guarantee
it. So please examine the code and recompile it before running it.
Both the above use C# rather than VB, but I don't think that should give
you too much trouble. It might even persuade you to use C# :)

if you are adding an object programatically, like your butotn, you'll also
have to attach the event programatically.

in vb.net, you can use:
addhandler yourButton.click, AddressOf yourFunctionHandler

in c#, you can use:
yourButton.Click += new EventHandler(yourFunctionHandler);

Make sure that your button is created, and you attach your handler on
postback also (ie, don't wrap it in an !page.IsPostback)

TableLayoutPanel Control

Hi!

I am trying to create an Excel-like table in Visual Basic 2005 / Visual C# 2005 EE.

I use TableLayoutPanel control to present the data.

However, I found out that this table layout is not very efficient, like: I can't draw the border for specific cell, nor can I resize one cell to be bigger than others.

Is there a way to do this? Or maybe there is a better way to create an Excel-like table?

Many thanks in advanced!!!!

Hi,

Is this a web control??

Actually, I use Visual Basic 2005 EE for Windows Form. I don't know if VWD 2005 EE has the same control or not.

I am trying to build an application that run in Windows OS. The application will need this Excel-like table layout.

Thanks for you help and time, really appreciated that.

Can somebody help me please?

Many thanks in advanced!

Tables and CSS

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes:
I'm using VS.NET 2003 to create a Web app and have defined a table as
follows:
<table border=3 bordercolordark="#006699" bordercolorlight="lightgrey"
width="100%">
As I'm going to be reusing this style all over the app, I'm trying to
replace it with a style, as follows:
<table class=tblBorder>
and in my stylesheet I have the following definition:
.tblBorder
{
border-style: outset;
border-bottom-color: "#006699";
border-right-color: "#006699";
border-left-color: "lightgrey";
border-top-color: "lightgrey";
border-width: 3;
}
But it doesn't look right. I'm obviously missing something...
Any assistance gratefully received.
Mark RaeHi Mark,
You aren't missing anything. The bordercolorlight and bordercolordark are
rendered differently than CSS styles are so things may not look the same
when applied differently. Also, border in the <table> tag is expressed
differently than border-width is in CSS (border-width in CSS can take
different measurement units including pt, px, em, etc). You will have to toy
around with your CSS settings to get them closer to what the browser
actually renders if those values were supplied in the tag.

Tables and CSS

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes:

I'm using VS.NET 2003 to create a Web app and have defined a table as
follows:

<table border=3 bordercolordark="#006699" bordercolorlight="lightgrey"
width="100%"
As I'm going to be reusing this style all over the app, I'm trying to
replace it with a style, as follows:

<table class=tblBorder
and in my stylesheet I have the following definition:

..tblBorder
{
border-style: outset;
border-bottom-color: "#006699";
border-right-color: "#006699";
border-left-color: "lightgrey";
border-top-color: "lightgrey";
border-width: 3;
}

But it doesn't look right. I'm obviously missing something...

Any assistance gratefully received.

Mark RaeHi Mark,

You aren't missing anything. The bordercolorlight and bordercolordark are
rendered differently than CSS styles are so things may not look the same
when applied differently. Also, border in the <table> tag is expressed
differently than border-width is in CSS (border-width in CSS can take
different measurement units including pt, px, em, etc). You will have to toy
around with your CSS settings to get them closer to what the browser
actually renders if those values were supplied in the tag.

Tables automatically resizes

I am using a nested table to control different elements of my layout.
The problem I have is that I create the outer table and set the size
properties to what I want them to be, then, if I put another table
into the first cell, when I resize that nested table, it automatically
resizes the other cells also. If I do the same type of thing in
Dreamweaver, this doesn't happen. Is there a setting of some sort in
..NET that I can turn off to prevent this from happening?

Here is the html code for the table. Sorry about the formatting.
It is the tblMenuBar table, that when I resize it, vertically, resizes
the other cells in the outer table.

<body class="BasePage" bottomMargin="0" leftMargin="0" topMargin="0"
rightMargin="0">
<form id="frmLogin" method="post" runat="server">
<TABLE id="tblBase" height="100%" cellSpacing="0" cols="4"
cellPadding="0" width="1000" border="0">
<TR>
<TD class="MenuBar" width="177" rowSpan="3">
<TABLE id="tblMenuBar" height="100%" cellSpacing="1"
cellPadding="1" width="177" border="1">
<TR>
<TD height="50" width="100%">
<asp:HyperLink id="HyperLink1"
runat="server">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
<td class="FormSpacer" width="22" bgColor="#ffffff"
rowSpan="3"></td>
<td class="PageHeader" vAlign="top" align="middle" width="601"
style="HEIGHT: 0.64in">
<uc1:pageheader id="PageHeader" runat="server"></uc1:pageheader>
</td>
<td class="FormSpacer" width="200" rowSpan="3"></td>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD class="WorkSpace" vAlign="top">
<div align="center">
<asp:hyperlink id="hplSecureSession" runat="server"
NavigateUrl="https://statslink.streck.com/">Click here for SECURE
INTERNET SESSION</asp:hyperlink>
</div>
<DIV align="center" class="WorkSpace" noWrap>
</DIV>

</TR>
<TR>
<td class="PageFooter" height="50">

</td>

</form>
</body
Thank you!
KalvinGive tblBase a specific height of 50.

Give tblMenuBar a specific height of 50, as well as the first cell in the
first row of tblMenuBar; give it a height of 50 too.

In fact, for anything that shouldn't be taller than 50 pixels, give anything
involved in it a hard-coded height of 50.

Avoid putting anything taller than 50 pixes in the cells of tblMenuBar.

This may or may not fix your problem, but it's good practice to be very
specific with tables when you need them to behave in a precise manner.

TabPage Control ?

Hello,

I want to create a TabPage control for my web application like one page layout with 2 different pages, but in the toolbox VS2005 doesn't have that option, So instead of creating 2 different pages and directing from one to the another, I'm wondering if I could use the TabPage control to keep one page layout and have the ability to flip back and fourth from one page to another, Does anyone knows how to do it and really appreciated if have any tips or suggestions on how to accomplish this, thanks

Have you considered using the ASP.NET AJAX TabControl or using a MultiView control to simulates Tabs?

I would consider to try both if it works, How do you setup the ASP.NET AJAX TabControl in Visual Studio 2005 ? In the toolbox control it doesn't have any TabControl option, all I have is the MultiView in the toolbox but I'm not sure how to setup the multi page inside the MultiView control, Can you guide me through this? thanks

Refer the the link below for an example on using the ASP.NET AJAX TabControl.

http://www.asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/video-156.aspx

Here are a few links for the MultiView Control.

http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/TabControl.asp

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/mahesh/Multiview10092005215233PM/Multiview.aspx?ArticleID=ad731f33-820e-4968-89fa-393c43872384

http://www.internet.com/video/ Scroll down the leftside under Developer Videos the Using ASP.NET 2.0 MultiView Control is the last one.

Hope these help.

I put them all right next to each other in a user control, added a
method that changes the active tab and then used CSS to differentiate
(I basically made the button's bottom border go away and made its
background color the same as the page's and bolded the text so it looks
pretty much like a tab, even though it's just a button). The non-active
'tabs' have a totally different background and have all their borders.
It works, even though it may not be perfect.

Hmm.. never gave that one a thought! Guess that's my ASP roots coming throug

Another way of doing the tabs might be to use the Tab control that comes
with the IEControls thingy from ASP.NET - don't know if that's the link that
Steve gave - haven't checked.

tabs for 2.0

hey all,
i need to create a tabbed page and was wondering the route to take. I'd like
it to be client-side tabs if possible (Atlas?). Does anyone have any good
articles or webcasts on this? or just tips?

thanks
rodcharI used LinkButtons and CSS before I learned about the following which I will
try and use next time I rebuild or start a new tabbed navigation...
So a good start is to find and download CSS Tab Designer and then search for
other blogged articles that use the Menu control with the MultiView control
[1] to create tabbed pages.

Once you see how its done on the server you should be able to reuse the
generated HTML with Atlas and you can show everybody how its done ;-)

You might have better luck getting responses in the Portal Starter Kit forum.

i've checked the forum you suggested. got the answers. thanks.

TabStrip

Hi,

I am wanting to create my own TabStrip control, similar to the one that this site uses. The only problem is that I cannot find any tutorials/examples in vb.Net. Can someone help me out?

Thanks, OGHSGo there:http://www.asp.net/IEWebControls/Download.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1

TabStrip control and Form

Hi,

I am using a tab strip control on a web page. One of the tabs has a user
control, which has a form with a submit button on it.

If I want to create another form on another tab of the same tab strip
control then, it gives me an error message that only one form can be
created.

I want to create another form with a submit button so that form can be
posted back to the server. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

YatinHi,

ASPX page can contain just one server side Form.
You can use the existing Form to send just the current tab controls by
using javascript. Alternetivly you can add regular Forms (without
runat=server) as much as you want
