How do you use a user control as a template inside a repeater?

I would like to use a user control as a template inside a repeater.
Some of the fields in the control should be hidden depending on whether
or not there is data. I'm still a ASP .Net newbie so the way I'm going
about doing this might be a little off. I'd appreciate some help.

Below is the code I have thus far but I'm not sure how to reference the
user control within the foreach loop.

<asp:Panel ID="pnlRosterProfile" runat="Server" />

<asp:Repeater ID="rptRoster" runat="Server" >
<ItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Code behind:

DataSet DS = SQLRoutines.GetProfiles(strUID, strCCYYS,
strRosterType);
DataRow[] foundRows = DS.Tables[0].Select();
foreach (DataRow dr in foundRows)
{

[User control here?]
}

-------------------------------------------------
User control:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="ucProfile.ascx.cs" Inherits="controls_ucRosterProfile" %>

<asp:Panel ID="pnlProfile" runat="Server">
<asp:Table ID="tblProfile" runat="Server">
<asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:Image ID="imgPhoto" runat="Server" />
</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:Label ID="lblNameDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Name" />
<asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblEmailDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Email" />
<asp:Label ID="lblEmail" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblEmployerDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Employer" />
<asp:Label ID="lblEmployer" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblJobTitleDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Name" />
<asp:Label ID="lblJobTitle" runat="Server" Text="" />
 

</asp:TableCell>
</asp:TableRow>
</asp:Table>
</asp:Panel>

user control code behind:

public void labelSet(string controlName, bool blnVisible, string
lblTitle)
{
Label objLabel;
objLabel = (Label)this.FindControl(controlName);
if (blnVisible)
objLabel.Text = lblTitle;
else
objLabel.Visible = false;
}

Thanks,
Robert

First add the user control to the page declaration

<%@Register Tagname="usercontrol" Tagprefix="usa" src="~/controls/usercontrol.ascx"%>

then put the user control in the repeater

<asp:Repeater id="Repeater1" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="processList">
<ItemTemplate><usa:usercontrol runat="Server" id="uscControl" /></ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

then in the codebehind

Private Sub processList(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs)

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then

Dim usc As your_control = e.Item.FindControl("uscControl")

'now you can access all of the public properties and methods of the usercontrol, for example

usc.LabelSet("test",true,"test1")

'and so on

End If

End Sub

David,

Thank you! That helped quite a bit. I can now get the user control to
be called multiple times and the template html is displayed. Now I'm
getting an error when I try to reference a method inside of the user
control.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object.

Source Error:

Line 25: objLabel = (Label)this.FindControl(controlName);
Line 26: if (blnVisible)
Line 27: objLabel.Text = lblTitle;
Line 28: else
Line 29: objLabel.Visible = false;

Source File: d:\acstest\webroot\MOR\controls\ucRosterProfile.as cx.cs
Line: 27

Below is the code I'm using to call the labelSet method:

protected void processList(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
if ((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType
== ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
{
controls_ucRosterProfile usc =
(controls_ucRosterProfile)e.Item.FindControl("ucRo ster");
usc.labelSet("test", true, "test1");
}
}

Do you know what I'm missing to get this to work?

Thanks,
Happy Thursday,
Robert

My apologies, that is wrong. I misread your code. I thought lblTitle was a
Label, but its a string variable. Anyway, my thoughts on the error is that
this line

Quote:

>Line 25: objLabel = (Label)this.FindControl(controlName);

is the problem. I'm not familiar with C# at all, i'm a VB developer ;). Is
"this" a valid reference in C#? it isnt in VB, VB uses "me". I don't know
where to go from here without viewing all of the actual code.

good luck

After further review of your code, I think you're doing too much work. What
are you trying to accomplish?

Some of the fields in the control should be hidden depending on whether
or not there is data. I'm still a ASP .Net newbie so the way I'm going
about doing this might be a little off. I'd appreciate some help.

myRepeater = new MyRepeater();
Form1.Controls.Add(myRepeater);
}
#endregion
}

// One way to specify your template is to inherit from Repeater, but
you can also set the Template as a property before DataBind()
public class MyRepeater : Repeater

base.OnInit (e);
base.HeaderTemplate = new LiteralTemplate("<table>"); // Custom

David,

After trying to implement your code I simplified mine. Hopefully this
will clear things up about what I'm trying to do. I have a user
control that will display for each record returned by the dataset. If
fields are blank I will hide those rows in the template for that
record. I am planning on reusing this control on several pages.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="profile"
src="~/controls/ucRosterProfile.ascx" %>

<asp:Repeater ID="rptRoster" runat="Server"
OnItemDataBound="processList" >
<ItemTemplate>
<uc1:profile runat="Server" id="ucRoster" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

-------------
code behind

DataSet DS = SQLRoutines.GetRosters(int.Parse(strUID), strCCYYS,
int.Parse(strRosterType));
rptRoster.DataSource = DS;
rptRoster.DataBind();

protected void processList(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
if ((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType
== ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
{
controls_ucRosterProfile usc =
(controls_ucRosterProfile)e.Item.FindControl("ucRo ster");
usc.labelSet("test", true, "test1");
}
}

--------------------------------------
user control:

<asp:Panel ID="pnlRosterProfile" runat="Server">
<asp:Table ID="tblRosterProfile" runat="Server">
<asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell Width="30">
<asp:Image ID="imgPhoto" runat="Server" />
</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell Width="45">

<asp:Label ID="lblNameDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Name" />
<asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblEmailDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Email" />
<asp:Label ID="lblEmail" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblEmployerDesc" runat="Server"

David,

Thank you! That helped quite a bit. I can now get the user control to
be called multiple times and the template html is displayed. Now I'm
getting an error when I try to reference a method inside of the user
control.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object.

Source Error:

Line 25: objLabel = (Label)this.FindControl(controlName);
Line 26: if (blnVisible)
Line 27: objLabel.Text = lblTitle;
Line 28: else
Line 29: objLabel.Visible = false;

Source File: d:\acstest\webroot\MOR\controls\ucRosterProfile.as cx.cs
Line: 27

Below is the code I'm using to call the labelSet method:

protected void processList(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
if ((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType
== ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
{
controls_ucRosterProfile usc =
(controls_ucRosterProfile)e.Item.FindControl("ucRo ster");
usc.labelSet("test", true, "test1");
}
}

Do you know what I'm missing to get this to work?

Thanks,
Happy Thursday,
Robert

I would like to use a user control as a template inside a repeater.
Some of the fields in the control should be hidden depending on whether
or not there is data. I'm still a ASP .Net newbie so the way I'm going
about doing this might be a little off. I'd appreciate some help.

Below is the code I have thus far but I'm not sure how to reference the
user control within the foreach loop.

<asp:Panel ID="pnlRosterProfile" runat="Server" />

<asp:Repeater ID="rptRoster" runat="Server" >
<ItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Code behind:

DataSet DS = SQLRoutines.GetProfiles(strUID, strCCYYS,
strRosterType);
DataRow[] foundRows = DS.Tables[0].Select();
foreach (DataRow dr in foundRows)
{

[User control here?]
}

-------------------------------------------------
User control:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="ucProfile.ascx.cs" Inherits="controls_ucRosterProfile" %>

<asp:Panel ID="pnlProfile" runat="Server">
<asp:Table ID="tblProfile" runat="Server">
<asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:Image ID="imgPhoto" runat="Server" />
</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:Label ID="lblNameDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Name" />
<asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblEmailDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Email" />
<asp:Label ID="lblEmail" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblEmployerDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Employer" />
<asp:Label ID="lblEmployer" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblJobTitleDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Name" />
<asp:Label ID="lblJobTitle" runat="Server" Text="" />
 

</asp:TableCell>
</asp:TableRow>
</asp:Table>
</asp:Panel>

user control code behind:

public void labelSet(string controlName, bool blnVisible, string
lblTitle)
{
Label objLabel;
objLabel = (Label)this.FindControl(controlName);
if (blnVisible)
objLabel.Text = lblTitle;
else
objLabel.Visible = false;
}

Robert

Could you tell me why you favor this solution over the others? I have
seen a few articles where people mention different solutions, like you
say, it is hard to figure out which would be the best road to take. I
would like the solution to be reusable and efficient.

Thanks,
Robert

I would like to use a user control as a template inside a repeater.
Some of the fields in the control should be hidden depending on whether
or not there is data. I'm still a ASP .Net newbie so the way I'm going
about doing this might be a little off. I'd appreciate some help.

Below is the code I have thus far but I'm not sure how to reference the
user control within the foreach loop.

<asp:Panel ID="pnlRosterProfile" runat="Server" />

<asp:Repeater ID="rptRoster" runat="Server" >
<ItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Code behind:

DataSet DS = SQLRoutines.GetProfiles(strUID, strCCYYS,
strRosterType);
DataRow[] foundRows = DS.Tables[0].Select();
foreach (DataRow dr in foundRows)
{

[User control here?]
}

-------------------------------------------------
User control:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="ucProfile.ascx.cs" Inherits="controls_ucRosterProfile" %>

<asp:Panel ID="pnlProfile" runat="Server">
<asp:Table ID="tblProfile" runat="Server">
<asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:Image ID="imgPhoto" runat="Server" />
</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:Label ID="lblNameDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Name" />
<asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblEmailDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Email" />
<asp:Label ID="lblEmail" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblEmployerDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Employer" />
<asp:Label ID="lblEmployer" runat="Server" Text="" />
 
<asp:Label ID="lblJobTitleDesc" runat="Server"
Font-Bold="true" Text="Name" />
<asp:Label ID="lblJobTitle" runat="Server" Text="" />
 

</asp:TableCell>
</asp:TableRow>
</asp:Table>
</asp:Panel>

user control code behind:

public void labelSet(string controlName, bool blnVisible, string
lblTitle)
{
Label objLabel;
objLabel = (Label)this.FindControl(controlName);
if (blnVisible)
objLabel.Text = lblTitle;
else
objLabel.Visible = false;
}

Thanks,
Robert
