Dynamic Controls Problem

I have a dropdown list that defines the number of textboxes that appear
within a particular panel. The boxes are created when the dropdownlist's
SelectedIndexCh anged event fires on postback.

Also in the form is a datagrid that has some custom validation performed on
values within its rows. The validation is server side but not tied into any
ValidatorContro ls.

When the form is submitted, if the datagrid contains values that are invalid
according to my rules, the page reloads but my textboxes created in the
previous panel are gone. The dropdownbox still holds its value but the
requisite number of textboxes is no longer there.

I know this is probably a problem with the page events when the controls are
rendered, the problem I cant figure out is how to keep the controls created
during the dropdown's event; Init and Render have already fired.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Dynamic controls need to be recreated on every postback.

ASP.NET does this for you for controls you declare on your page because it
knows about them. You need to do it yourself for any dynamic controls added.

Hi all. I'm learning VB.Net and am developing a WinForms app. I'm trying to make an app that I will use to scan in one or more than on image. I want to use a tabbed interface to hold each image. Here's the code I'm using for testing purposes. I've got the code in the form's load event, but I think I'd have the same problems no matter where the code existed. Right now, the form has an empty tab control, everthing else is dynamic. <code>

I am trying to use some dynamic controls that are built and then added to tables. The problem that I am having is the timing of when I can populate the controls and have the state remain after a postback. The main question would be this: Why does this work for maintaining state after a postback for dynamic controls: myText = new Label(); myText.ID = "myText";

I have a web page on which I dynamically create controls based on the selection a user makes from a dropdownlist (this ddl is not dynamic). Depending on the user's selection, the controls could be any combination of textboxes, ddls, popup calendars, etc. The properties of the dynamic controls are stored in a SQL database so that my program can know what type of control to render and what items to put in the ddl etc. My problem is that I...

I'm creating a set of dynamic controls on a webpage by calling my BuildControls sub in the Page_Init sub. I recreate the controls by calling the BuildControls sub in the LoadViewState override procedure. The set of controls will not always be the same (based on the selection the user makes in a static ddl). The controls are persisted perfectly. The problem I'm experiencing is that when one of the dynamic ddl's (let's say ddl1) is...

hi all, I have this seemingly simple problem. I have lost a lot of time on it though. When a user selects a value from a dropdownlist (static control) a dynamic control is generated. I have to create the dynamic controls in the OnInit stage of the lifecycle. Since data from static controls is not yet available in the OnInit stage I can't know what dynamic control I have to create.

Hi, I'm working in C# .net 2005 with Ajax. I have a page that loads dynamic user controls depending on the scenario. In those user controls, I create dynamic linkbuttons. The user controls are loaded on the .aspx PageLoad and the linkbuttons are created on the .ascx PageLoad. The problem I have is that those linkbuttons don't work on the first click. I have to make 2 clicks to have their event fired. What can I do for that ? Thanks.

I always thought that the viewstate "keys" included the control ID. As long as the control IDs were unique, there shouldn't be any conflicts. Well, it appears that that may not be the case with dynamic controls. Our application was having a problem very similar to the one described here: http://weblogs.asp.net/alessandro/archive/2008/01/04/failed-to-load-viewstate-typical-problem-with-an-obvious-solution.aspx Unfortunately, the "fix"...

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,...
