I have a project that requires a dynamically generated matrix table.
The table is setup with 4 quadrants (N,S,E,W) with checkboxes to "link"
the data in adjacent quadrants. The table has to be able to grow &
shrink according to the number of items in each quadrant.
I have coded the table as a user control in vb.net. My question is on
how to retrieve the data out of the table on a post back. I have tried
adding check boxes as straight html like:
For yCnt = 1 To actRows
Dim xRow As New TableRow
For xCnt = 1 To actCols
Dim xCell As New TableCell
.... logic to determine cell area ...
xCell.Text = "<input id=""chkNE" & xCnt & "|" & yCnt & """
type=""checkbox "" checked=""CHECK ED"" />"
xCell.ID = "td" & cellCnt
xRow.Cells.Add( xCell)
Next
xRow.ID = "tr" & yCnt
tblXmatrix.Rows .Add(xRow)
Next
I tried pulling out the data with the request.forms collection but all
I get is view state forms using:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To Request.Form.Ke ys.Count - 1
Response.Write( "Request.Form.K ey value " & Request.Form.Ke ys(i) & "
has value " & Request.Form.It em(Request.Form .Keys(i)) & "<br/>")
Next
I have also tried putting in the controls like:
For yCnt = 1 To actRows
Dim xRow As New TableRow
For xCnt = 1 To actCols
Dim xCell As New TableCell
.... logic to determine cell area ...
Dim chkBoxNW As New CheckBox
chkBoxNW.ID = "chkNW" & xCnt & "|" & yCnt
xCell.Controls. Add(chkBoxNW)
xCell.ID = "td" & cellCnt
xRow.Cells.Add( xCell)
Next
xRow.ID = "tr" & yCnt
tblXmatrix.Rows .Add(xRow)
Next
Using the following code I can "see" the controls, but the checked
value is always false regardless of what is selected before postback.
Dim myRow As Control
For Each myRow In tblXmatrix.Cont rols
Response.Write( "row =" & myRow.ID & "<br>")
Dim myCell As Control
For Each myCell In myRow.Controls
Response.Write( "cell =" & myCell.ID & "<br>")
Dim myChk As CheckBox
For Each myChk In myCell.Controls
Response.Write( "ctl =" & myChk.ID & "=" & myChk.Checked & "<br>")
Next
Next
Next
I'm fairly new to asp.net, so there has to be something simple I'm
missing here.
Thanks

Nevermind, My issue was a page lifecycle issue. I used the 2nd method
and checked for a postback in the Page_PreRender and got all the
correct values. sr*****@gmail.c om wrote:

I have built a control that runs an on-line help system. Depending on the

subcategories, and if there are any, adds a new dropdownlist to the screen
for selection. This continues until there are no children, and then it
checks for a help article list based on that last selection and displays
actual articles for display.

Hi,
This is what I am doing, please comment if this is the correct way.
I need to add controls to a form dynamically.
Within the Page_Load event (is not Postback) I run a routine to create the
controls, and populate the dropdowns etc,
I use addhandler to define delegates to capture events raised by the
controls.
I store these controls in a hashtable.

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";

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,...
