pass table back to webpage

I'm wondering what the best way to do the following:
I have a page with a table. I built a custom class that creates a
System.Web.UI.WebControls table object and return it to the webpage as a
property. But its not reading the table correctly. It doesnt see the
tablerows and tablecell objects.
First, I'm not sure why its not reading the table properly?
Second, I wonder if there's a better way to do this? Maybe a custom control?
I haven't really gotten into these yet. My table only contains some
hyperlinks to open other pages. so no other server-side processing after
this.What do you mean by "Not reading the table properly". If collections are
empty could it be you forgotten to add them asd they are created to your
table ?

The table in the webpage is set to the returned table from the custom class
function. I know that there's data rows and cells in it.
on webpage:
objBusLog.FillTable(); //this is call to define the table
TblRpt = objBusLog.TblReports; //This sets table web control to actual
table being set in custom class.

What I don't understand for now is the result you have.

Do you mean you have no HTML at all rendered for this table ?
If yes, it's likely this control is not part of the page.

Do you mean you have rows missing ? What if you show the rows count to see
if it's what you expect ?
If not it's likely rows are not added in the collection...

Etc...

Some basic code would be :

System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table TestFunction()
{
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table t=new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table();
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow r=new
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow();
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell c=new
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell();
r.Cells.Add(c);
t.Rows.Add(r);
return t;
}
void Page_Load(Object sender,System.EventArgs e)
{
Form1.Controls.Add(TestFunction());
}

(use "view source" in your browser to see that it renders an empty HTML
table).

Hope it helps...

Yes, the table is indeed a server side control. If I run the code directly in
the page_load, to build the table, all is good, like the way, your test
function is setup..

But in my case, I create a new class that creates the table. Then I get a
property as follows:
public System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table TblReports
{
get
{
return m_objTblRpts;
}
}}
When I print the number of rows in the web page, it comes back as 2. But it
doesnt actually print the rows of the table. It only prints the following:
<table id="TblRpts" border="0" style="width:928px;Z-INDEX: 108; LEFT: 24px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 352px"
Can I not return a table in a class property??

It looks like to me you are assigning TblRpts a *new* object and that you
would expect this new object to be rendered.

Actually behind the scene this object is registered in the "Controls"
collection before your code runs. As a result, assigning a *new* object to
this object variable won't have any effect (keep in mind that objects
variables are nothing else than "pointers").

I see basically two solutions :
- add the *new* control to the controls collection (and you don't need to
have the TblRpts controls in your page)
- pass TblRpts to your function so that you can add rows to the existing
control rather than creating a new one

Hope it helps...

Thanks. That was it!
Appreciate it.

That leads back to the first question:
I'm trying to do this using a fairly good 'object-oriented' methodology. So
creating a new class to build a table, and return the table.. Is that the
best method?

Depending on what it does you could create a control (in particular it
allows if applicable to provide some design time support).
You could also expose this a as "static" function depending on wether or not
it contains a state...

The key point is IMO to keep each part in its own layer and only using well
defined interactions with other parts, not doing things "OO" for its own
sake. As long as you do this, it will be easier to evolve each part
separately...

pass table back to webpage

I'm wondering what the best way to do the following:
I have a page with a table. I built a custom class that creates a
System.Web.UI.WebControls table object and return it to the webpage as a
property. But its not reading the table correctly. It doesnt see the
tablerows and tablecell objects.
First, I'm not sure why its not reading the table properly?
Second, I wonder if there's a better way to do this? Maybe a custom control?
I haven't really gotten into these yet. My table only contains some
hyperlinks to open other pages. so no other server-side processing after
this.What do you mean by "Not reading the table properly". If collections are
empty could it be you forgotten to add them asd they are created to your
table ?

The table in the webpage is set to the returned table from the custom class
function. I know that there's data rows and cells in it.
on webpage:
objBusLog.FillTable(); //this is call to define the table
TblRpt = objBusLog.TblReports; //This sets table web control to actual
table being set in custom class.

What I don't understand for now is the result you have.
Do you mean you have no HTML at all rendered for this table ?
If yes, it's likely this control is not part of the page.
Do you mean you have rows missing ? What if you show the rows count to see
if it's what you expect ?
If not it's likely rows are not added in the collection...
Etc...
Some basic code would be :
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table TestFunction()
{
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table t=new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table();
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow r=new
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow();
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell c=new
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell();
r.Cells.Add(c);
t.Rows.Add(r);
return t;
}
void Page_Load(Object sender,System.EventArgs e)
{
Form1.Controls.Add(TestFunction());
}
(use "view source" in your browser to see that it renders an empty HTML
table).
Hope it helps...

Yes, the table is indeed a server side control. If I run the code directly i
n
the page_load, to build the table, all is good, like the way, your test
function is setup..
But in my case, I create a new class that creates the table. Then I get a
property as follows:
public System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table TblReports
{
get
{
return m_objTblRpts;
}
} }
When I print the number of rows in the web page, it comes back as 2. But it
doesnt actually print the rows of the table. It only prints the following:
<table id="TblRpts" border="0" style="width:928px;Z-INDEX: 108; LEFT: 24px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 352px">
Can I not return a table in a class property'

It looks like to me you are assigning TblRpts a *new* object and that you
would expect this new object to be rendered.
Actually behind the scene this object is registered in the "Controls"
collection before your code runs. As a result, assigning a *new* object to
this object variable won't have any effect (keep in mind that objects
variables are nothing else than "pointers").
I see basically two solutions :
- add the *new* control to the controls collection (and you don't need to
have the TblRpts controls in your page)
- pass TblRpts to your function so that you can add rows to the existing
control rather than creating a new one
Hope it helps...

Thanks. That was it!
Appreciate it.
That leads back to the first question:
I'm trying to do this using a fairly good 'object-oriented' methodology. So
creating a new class to build a table, and return the table.. Is that the
best method?

Depending on what it does you could create a control (in particular it
allows if applicable to provide some design time support).
You could also expose this a as "static" function depending on wether or not
it contains a state...
The key point is IMO to keep each part in its own layer and only using well
defined interactions with other parts, not doing things "OO" for its own
sake. As long as you do this, it will be easier to evolve each part
separately...

Pass value from javascript to vb.net to database without postback...Possible?

Hi,
I have a complicated question that I'm hoping someone can help me out
with. I have a webpage that contains a plug-in. This plug-in can
communicate/pass data with the webpage that contains it via javascript.
What I need to be able to do is take that data passed via javascript
and, using vb.net as the code behind language, send it to a database
without posting it because when I post, the plugin is reloaded and
starts at the beginning. Specifcally, the plug-in is a type of
educational program, when the user completes a certain objective in the
program, I need to store that info in the database but not have the
program start back at the beginning.
What happens currently is upon completing the objective in the plugin,
a javascript function is called in the containing webpage. That
javascript function changes the data in a hidden field runat the
server. I artificially create a postback using the
document.forms.submit() function, then in the page_load function in the
codebehind page I check the value of the hidden field and store it to
the database. This works fine. The problem is that when the page
reloads, my plug-in is reloaded and instead of the user being at say
level 6, they are back at the initial level 1. Ideally, I would like to
send the information to the database without having to reload the page
and was wondering if this was possible.
Thanks in advance and I'll be happy to clarify any questions.
AndyYou would need to do something like use XMLHTTP to issue a call to a page to
do the work. However, I think that ties you to IE 5.5 and above. This may
or may not be a problem for you.

the easiest approach is a hidden iframe/frame.
1) the src of the hidden frame should be an aspx page with hidden fields.
the clientscript would fill in the hidden fields in the frame, and do a
submit of the frame.
2) create an addtional form (nonserver) on the page with the target the
hidden frame, have the client script fill in the hidden fields in the form
and do a submit.

if you don't need anything back, it's trivial:
var sender = new Image();
sender.src = "whatever.aspx?stufff=1&junkID=27";

Be very worried! Well, not to scare you or anything but seriously, any new
product in beta is not going to be 100% reliable. That's why they call it
alpha, beta.
That being said, you can do a search on google for a list of issues in beta,
that way you can be aware of what's going to work on final release.

pass variable between webpage

I want to ask what is the best way to pass variable between asp.net we
pages, and user controls , any examples

dolla
----------------------
Posted via http://www.codecomments.co
----------------------Hi Dollar,

There are various ways in which ASP.NET helps you to pass information
from one page to another, it basically depends on your application.
In general, the applications use Session state to pass variables.

You can refer to the following link for complete details:

[State Management Recommendations]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...StateOption.asp

As for user controls, you can have public properties for the user control
which can be accessed by any page and also they will retain their values in
between
server round trips.

I want to ask what is the best way to pass variable between asp.net web page
s, and user controls , any examples?Hi Dollar,
There are various ways in which ASP.NET helps you to pass information
from one page to another, it basically depends on your application.
In general, the applications use Session state to pass variables.
You can refer to the following link for complete details:

As for user controls, you can have public properties for the user control
which can be accessed by any page and also they will retain their values in
between
server round trips.
