Creating a generic template writer that can handle drop downs and option lists

Posted By: Posted Date: September 20, 2010 Points: 0 Category :ASP.Net

If I have a the following model

public class User
	{
		public List<Company> Companies;
					
		[Required]
		[DisplayName("Login")]
		public string Login { get; set; }

		[Required]
		[DisplayName("First Name")]
		public string FirstName { get; set; }

		[Required]
		[DisplayName("Last Name")]
		public string LastName { get; set; }

		[Required]
		[DisplayName("Password")]
		public string Password { get; set; }

		[Required]
		[DisplayName("Company")]
		private int Company { get; set; }
	}

And the following generic control template writer (which would have to be extended appropriately)

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<% foreach (var prop in ViewData.ModelMetadata.Properties .Where(pm => pm.ShowForEdit && !ViewData.TemplateInfo.Visited(pm))) 
{ %>
	<div class="SD_FieldItem">
		<% if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Html.Label(prop.PropertyName).ToHtmlString()))
		{ 
			switch (prop.ModelType.Name)
			{
				case "Boolean":

					%>
						<div class="SD_BoolField">
							<%= Html.CheckBox(prop.PropertyName) %>
							<%= Html.Label(prop.PropertyName) %>
							<%= Html.ValidationMessage(prop.PropertyName,

Creating a Generic Entity Framework 4.0 Repository

With .NET 4.0 right around the corner, I thought it would be cool to download Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 and start playing around with the next release of Entity Framework.

The initial release of Entity Framework came with a great deal of criticism. To make matters worse, there was a large uproar when it was rumored that Microsoft would be abandoning LINQ to SQL, in favor of Entity Framework. This was because, at the time, many developers felt Entity Framework was an inferior technology to LINQ to SQL. To set things right, Microsoft proactively moved forward with improving Entity Framework, in time for the 4.0 release of the .NET Framework. This is good news because my initial impressions, so far, have been nothing but positive.

Creating Sites/Lists/List Items under Current User Context in SharePoint By Using SPUserToken

Usually we do this by performing the action under RunWithElevatedPrivileges method and updating the listitem using SPListItem.SystemUpdate() method (see here). but this approach has its own flaws like (RunWithElevatedPrivileges will run under system account, we cannot use SystemUpdate for SPSite,SPWeb,SPList, since it runs under system we will "CreatedBy" by as SystemAccount).

creating different sub page design template in sharepoint website

I know very little about sharepoint and have outsourced the design of a master page and sub page design for a new website using sharepoint. i received a site master file with all of the necessary images and the home page works just fine. However the file i received for the sub page design template was an ASPX file with the following instructions:

Here I enclosed the inner page layout file. You upload this file by using following instructions. you can change & edit the blue menu section in the master page itself. If I change into modifiable section you need to add the menu in each and every page, otherwise it will show as empty block. Please let me know your comments.

Steps for uploading inner page layout page.

Create a placeholder for drop down lists

First time post here, if i'm in the wrong area please move as necessary. Thanks

I'm using VWD with a database back end. I have a list of teams which are marked off by league, level, division, teamid and then using gridview for the list of players per teams.

I've got the drop downs working correctly but running into a little snag and that is on the auto postback.

When I only have one option come up in a list, i obviously don't change that list and thus it doesn't change the next drop down because there is no post back. is there a way to use a "header" value?

Example of my data

League Level Division Team

NHL 1 West Vancouver
NHL 1 West Calgary
NHL 1 West Edmonton
NHL 1 Central Chicago

OHL 2 West London
OHL 2 West Guelph

NBA 1 Central Chicago
NBA 1 Central Detroit
NBA 1 Central Milwaukee

So my drop downs choose by league, then level then division and then team then shows the player roster for that selected team.

The problem I run into is when only one value exists based on the previous choices I've made. If I choose NHL then Central only Chicago shows up in the example above. Because I'm not choosing between it and another value, the drop down does not put in a post back and thus I don't get a list of the team and then the players

Dynamically creating Gridview Template - Linkbutton Click not working

Hi,

I have written some code to dynamically generate template columns for gridview which works well. However, each cell in the gridview has to be a linkbutton, which when clicked does a db update and redirects to a specific url with some parameters in it.

I have attached a click event handler to the linkbutton in the InstantiateIn method but the event does not seem to fire.

Could someone please help? the code is below -

//Dynamically creating the Grid

protected void btnAnalyze_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

gvProjectedCPM.Columns.Clear();

Expose DataTable from WCF service, all Generic lists convert to arrays

I added a method to a .Net 3.5 WCF web service that returns a DataTable. Other methods in the web service return Generic lists and/or take Generic lists as parameters. When I update my reference to the altered web service from my client application all generic lists used as parameters or return types from all methods in the web service are converted to arrays. In my service reference settings I have selected "System.Collections.Generic.List." Apparently this setting has no effect when a web service returns a DataTable? Is there any way to prevent this from occuring? Steps to reproduce: Create a web service with methods that return Generic lists and/or take Generic lists as parameters. In a client application reference the web service and select "System.Collections.Generic.List" as the collection type. Verify that return types/parameter types are generic lists. Add a method to the web service that returns a DataTable. In a client application update the service reference. Note that all Generic lists (either as return types or method parameters) have changed to arrays. This occurs even though the collection type service reference setting remains as "System.Collections.Generic.List". Tom Regan

Creating a custom drop down field type with SelectedIndexChanged Event

Hi All, I am trying to create a custom drop down field type and I was able to acheive that using the MS link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb861799.aspx. As per the link, once the custom field is created we can override the "Validate" method to write the Validation logic and that works fine for me too. However I am facing a challenge even before going to Validate . Let me explain my actual requirements here. I need to build a custom drop down field and expose the field to the user in "Edit Properties " Page of a document library. Along with this field, I will be having some OOB site columns in the Edit Properties Page (Ex: Title, Subject etc) . When user selects a value in the drop down, I need to hide/show few OOB site columns based on certain criteria. I am facing a challenge of how to capture the "SelectedIndexChanged " event for the Custom drop down field in Sharepoint (Can we wire the SelectedIndexChanged event to a custom dropdown field type) ? Is this acheivable in SP 2010 Custom field type ? If so, how can I do it ? Can any of you kindly help me here? Regards, Yesh

Value changing to integer value when changing top drop down box from cascaded drop downs in Sharepoi

Hi, I have two drop down boxes named Categories and Sub Categories. When I select a category, the sub category populates fine and I can select the values where the category is equal to the category lookup field. But as soon as I then change the Category field again once I have selected both the category and sub category fields, the sub category field changes to an integer value? How can I change this so it just selects the blank value again?

Creating a volume control slider/setting one template property based on another

So, what I want to do, is to make a volume control that looks like a right angle triangle with the 90 degree angle on the bottom right, and then when you click on it, the area to the left of the selected point is shown in a different color. In other words, I've created a slider with the right background, what I can't do, is work out how to show the selected area by filling in the triangle. I have worked out how to bind the height of my triangle on the left to the value of the control, but right now, the rate of rise is exactly half of what I need it to be. I need to know how to change the template for the area to the left of the selection ( which is the repeat button ) so that the background is twice the height that it is right now. No matter what size I make the slider, the area is always 1/2 the size it needs to be, so I am sure if I could get it to double inside my template, it would work fine. <ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"> <Style x:Key="SliderButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type RepeatButton}"> <Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/> <

namespace of fields problem when creating form template from xml?

I created a form template from a predefined xml, where I do not have any namespace. Later I added more fields. The output xml of the form is for the fields from the xml they have not prefix, for those added later, they have prefix my. I already have them all done. How can I make them consistent to have prefix my? Is there any options in InfoPath to turn on or off the prefix my? thanks,
