Question: Change page.Controls(1 ) from HtmlForm to HtmlGenericCont rol

I have 2 webforms. When I print out the page.Controls(1 ).tostring variable
one says "HtmlForm", the other "HtmlGenericCon trol". How can I change the
first one to "HtmlForm"?

? page.Controls(1 ).tostring
"System.Web.UI. HtmlControls.Ht mlForm"

? page.Controls(1 ).tostring
"System.Web.UI. HtmlControls.Ht mlGenericContro l"

The reason why is that I am trying to change the forms background color
based on a value in my web.config file.

This is how I am doing it:
' set background color based on web.config setting
Dim Body As New HtmlGenericCont rol
Body = CType(Page.Cont rols(1), HtmlGenericCont rol)
Body.Attributes ("bgcolor") =
ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs("Background Color")

Hi, I'm playing around with the possibilities of Page.ParseControl. Thanks to Kirk Allen Evans I got my example running (Posting Juli, 17, "Re: Generating ASP.NET-Controls with XSLT possible?"). But looking deeper I run into a problem: Kirk said, that "validation works as expected", but in my experience it works only to a certain degree "as expected".

From my codebehind, I am trying to get an object reference to the current form, so I can perform a FindControl and work with one of the child controls. My problem is that I never know the name of the control. How to find that (using Reflection?)? Thanks. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

I have a base page with an HTMLForm object (added to the base page control heiarchy during Init). In the design of pages derived from this base page, I can choose to create controls and add them to the HTMLForm object I'm inheriting, to create a postback form. And on one particular page I'm doing just that; defining controls on the derived page (during Init) and adding these controls to the inherited HTMLForm object's control...

I'm trying to create a mutli-form page on my website, but having trouble with the PostBack stuff. And yes, I'm new to C# - my background of 8yrs is original ASP, and I'm getting easily confused now... which is most aggravating My sample test code is below... The idea is that the page can have 2 or even 3 panels to show different form elements, and then I hide all the panels and process the information gather from the forms.

We have a page that is loading very slow. There is not a lot of data, not a lot of users are connected at the same time and the page does not produce an error, so I am not sure where to start to look for why it is slowing down. I thought about the DB first and added NOLOCK to a couple of stored procedures that were being run, but with no effect. Can someone offer some tips on where to start looking or how I can begin to diagnose this...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
