Newbie: How to start

Hi

I have a html page with a form. How can I start turning this into an asp.net
page to including validation and submit processing?

Thanks

Regards

YahyaHey,
Well first things first. Create a web project if you are using Visual
Studio. If not .. you will need to work a bit more and create a virtual
directory and an aspx page. Similar to a normal html page but with lot of
extra tags... Get yourself a good asp.net book.
Now copy the html body and paste it in the aspx file. When you double a html
object like button or image it will be converted to equivalent web control
Have fun learning.. its fun..

newbie: inserting data into sql form writes only null values

Hi,

using VStudio 2005/sql server 2005

Have a simple web form that inserts the results in a table. It seems to
write to the table, but not the values from the asp forms fields. It adds a
new record and increments the id field by one -- but in all the other
fields, it merely writes Null to the fields. He are some other points:

I am not inserting data into every field -- for test purposes I am only
using 4 fields.
The id field is NOT one of the fields on the asp form -- although it is the
only field that actually writes a correct value

here's the code:using VStudio 2005/sql server 2005

Hi there,

Use

ControlParameter instead of FormParameter. The difference is that
FormParameter takes its value directly from Request.Form collection using the
name given by FormField. The problem with your vode is that, textbox does not
post its value in Request.Form[textBox.ID] but in
Request.Form[textBox.UniqueID] which reflects IDs of the parent controls.
Change you insertparameters declaration to:

<InsertParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="lastName" Type="String" ControlID="LastName"
PropertyName="Text"/>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="firstName" ControlID="FirstName" Type="String"
PropertyName="Text"/>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="address" Type="String" ControlID="Address"
PropertyName="Text"/>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="city" Type="String" ControlID="City"
PropertyName="Text"/>
</InsertParameters>

Thanks Milosz, it worked.

I'm confused why the book had me use the FormParameter and FormFieldID --
but thanks for getting me past this point.

Take care.

Well, the obvious answer is to change the hyperlink to point to Login.aspx
instead of home.aspx, but I guess that's not what you really mean...

Can you explain in a bit more detail what you're trying to do...

In the client-side click event of the link, call window.open ('popup.aspx");

Newbie: Removing underline from Hyperlink

Hi,
I've added hyperlink objects to a web form & I would like to display them
without the underline. How can I do this?
The element in HTML appears to be <asp:Hyperlink

thus in a stylesheet:

asp:HyperLink
{
text-decoration:none
}

I tried to set this up in a stylesheet but no go.

How can i state a hyperlink object in a style sheet, or some other way to do
this?

Many thanks for any ideas on this

Newbie: Selecting image from separate aspx page

I have a form where the user can select an image filename. Clearly it
would be better to allow them to select the image itself rather than key
in the filename.

So, I have a server side directory with the available images. And I have
a page which shows the images as ImageButtons.

My question is: What's the best way to link the two?

Should MyForm.aspx redirect to ImageList.aspx passing "MyForm" in the
query string so that ImageList knows where to redirect back to? It works
but it seems a bit convoluted so I think it must be wrong.

How do you solve this when basically you want to pick from a list of
things which aren't on the calling page?

Hope this makes sense.

In the desktop app environment I'd just open a dialog box. what is the
asp.net paradigm?You could simulate a dialog box by using window.open("ImageBox.aspx")
and then add some javascript in the onclick of the Select Button in
the ImageBox codebehind, which
- sets the image in the calling page (window.opener.getElementByID...)
- closes the imagebox window

So - mainly you have to deal with some javascript and DHTML

As to your original question: For easy pageflows I just put the
refering
page in the session/context items/request, which is not elegant, but
simple.
Alternatively you can implement a pageflow manager which can take
care of more complex navigations. Also worth looking at is
Server.Execute instead of redirect or transfer (and having a refering
page property defined in a page base class). There are really
a lot of options here and it is up to your preferences and requirements
to decide which one you want to go with.

Thanks Stefan.
I guess the session is a better place rather than clogging up the
querystring. I think I need a bit of practise to get into Web way of
doing things.

newbie??

Greetings All
I'm new to this forum and the asp.net enviroment...so execuse the nub questions.........Heres my question....I am creating a form where you input various information...on one part you input your personal information (first name , last name , etc ) ...with an add button ...I'm trying to get the information to display in a textarea(html control) when you click add. Every time you click add it jumps to the next line in the textarea and print the new information......I'm not sure if textarea is the bext tool to use.....and i can't seem to get anything displayed in the text area any help is greatly appreciated....So, you have a bunch of text boxes for collecting user information, a button, and a multiline text box?
Do you have any plans to persist the data, like in session state or a database? Or you just want to concatenate all of the fields into one string with each field taking up one line -- and you want that string inserted into a multiline textbox upon pressing the button on your page?

Correct, I have multiply text box for user to enter information and and multiply buttons for add, delete, search etc...I am also going to stored the information in a sql database.....I am trying to set up a multiline text box to display the information that was entered so the user can see what they have entered ...i am trying to use the html text area to display the information but i am having trouble with using the text area....is there a better type of multiline text box i can use other than a text area?

can anyone help?
I think it is a wise idea to take a look at the possible solution to use a datagrid. It is a little bit more work. But it looks better and is in the long run easier to maintain (if your design is right)
This is totaly depending what are you gone use it for.
Hello,
Why not using text box server control?
Textbox1.text &= txtfirstname.text & " " & txtlastname.text
is that what you need?
HTH
regards

thanks for all the help.....i decided to use the a data grid......the textbox idea was great but i need it to display the user information in seperate lines.........again thanks for the help..
hello
I'm back again...well i was using the dataview for displaying user input.....the new problem is that i need a text area or what ever is better to display user information with out saving it to the database ......theres other information that needs to be completed before it can be saved to the database............the layout --> the page is in 2 parts -- part 1 is user infor, part 2 is a survey information, all information is added to the DB at the end of the form ....I am trying to set up a textarea so that when the user click add at part 1 he can see the names that is going to be added to the db if he made a mistake he can delete it......after user infor is added the user then proceed to part 2 of the form after he completes the form he can add all info to the DB... any help willl be greatly appreciated

Newbiew use of DropDownList.

Hi,
I think this is the first time I put a dropdownlist in a web form, it
correctly displays the values from the database and when I save the
form I'm able to save the corresponding value to the database. But when
I use the form to display data, the listbox does not automatically
display the value saved in the database of course, so how am I supposed
to make point to the saved value ?Hi,
You can do it one of two ways.
(after ddl is populated)
DropDownList.SelectedIndex =
DropDownList.Items.IndexOf(DropDownList.Items.FindByText(MyDataReader("Field
Name")))
or
(if before ddl is populated)
DropDownList.DataTextField=MyDataReader("FieldName")
I hope this helps.

(after ddl is populated)
DropDownList.SelectedIndex =
DropDownList.Items.IndexOf(DropDownList.Items.Find ByText(MyDataReader("FieldName")))

or

(if before ddl is populated)
DropDownList.DataTextField=MyDataReader("FieldName")

hello, im doing a paging grid. may i know what is wrong with this code.. because the code in purple keep giving " NewPageIndex" is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.Webcontrols.DataGridCommandEventArgs'. what should i do?

jellyfied

I see 2 things here:

1. Your DataGrid must contain an attribute specifying which method to fire on the page index change event. You do that like this:

 <asp:DataGrid id="DataGrid1" OnPageIndexChanged="Page_Change" runat="server"></asp:DataGrid>

2. Your page_change method contains the wrong definition. This is the correct definition:

Protected Sub Page_Change(ByVal sourceAs Object,ByVal eAs System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridPageChangedEventArgs)

Hi

DataGridCommandEventArgs doesnt contain NewPageIndex. You are passing the wrong
event arguments. It should be DataGridPageChangedEventArgs as told by jstawski
Thanks
