Mixing Server and Client Code

Lloyd Sheen

I am having big time problems seperating the two mention in subject line.

I want to create a list of items (listbox or select) from a button click (on
the server). The button click will ensure that all data required for
viewing the page is within the page and after that selecting items from the
table should cause client processing to modify the look of the page.

The server code is easy. I access data on the server and add it to the the
items collection of the listbox. Now logically I want to switch to client
processing with JavaScript. The problem follows:

If I use a ListBox (<asp:ListBox) then how would I capture a selection
change so that I can process the clientside code? I would need the text of
the selected item as well.

If I use a Select (straight HTML) then how does the server fill the HTML
listbox?

I also am very confused about how Intellisence seems to know about controls
but runtime does not. I have another control defined as <EMBED id="Player"
.... When I am inputing client JavaScript I get full Intellisence help for
this name (Player) but when I call the function which references the control
I get runtime errors (I have script debugging set on) indicating that the
control Player does not exist.

I think this is what you're trying to do...

Code-Behind snippet:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then

'simulate loading first time in from your database query
Dim alText As New ArrayList
Dim alVals As New ArrayList
alText.Add("Ite m One")
alVals.Add("1")
alText.Add("Ite m Two")
alVals.Add("2")
alText.Add("Ite m Three")
alVals.Add("3")

For i As Integer = 0 To alText.Count - 1
myListBox.Items .Add(New ListItem(alText (i),
alVals(i)))
Next

myListBox.Attri butes.Add("onch ange", "test(this) ")
End If
End Sub

HTML snippet:

<HEAD>
<title>WebForm1 </title>
<script language="javas cript">
function test(select) {
var i = select.selected Index
var opts = select.options
alert(opts[i].text + " has a value of " +
opts[i].value)
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:ListBox id="myListBox" runat="server"> </asp:ListBox>
<br>
<input type=submit>
</form>
</body>

Mixing server and client controls

I have a webform with about 20 html textboxes and checkboxes. I am using ICallbackEventHandler to page through these successfully. But I need to be able to accept changes from these fields. How can I access an html field from ASP.net? Or better yet, how do I access server controls from javascript? The latter would be possible if ASP.net always gives the textboxes the excat same ID.

Mixing client-side and server-side processing: How?

Hi All, I just picked up an ASP.NET "Mortgage Calculator" example with code-behind from Prosise's 2002 "Programming Microsoft.NET". Works great. User enters a few values, clicks button, and monthy payment is displayed. When I design apps like this, I like to clear out result fields like "monthly payment" the minute the user changes any of the parameters of the mortgage. Doing that server-side looks easy enough, but I'd want

A concern about mixing C and C++

Hello all, I have a question and am seeking for some advice. I am currently working to implement an algorithmic library. Because the performance is the most important factor in later applications, I decide to write it in C instead of C++. However, I thought it might be convenient to use some C++ code at some misc places. I'm aware that, I could always use the C++ compiler to get it work.

I'm hoping this is a classic question, but the answer to it would help me with a lot of things. As you can see below, this code will never display the "Getting data...." text in the lblCheck - because it needs to do a round-trip to the server - first. And when it gets back, my other routine will over-write the text as "34 records found" Protected Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles...
