Nested Masters, User Controls, and VS2005

Okay, another problem I'm having with nested master pages on VS 2005.

I've got a MasterPage,mast er, as SubMaster.maste r, and a
DesignTime.mast er, and a content page, default.aspx.

The DesignTime master is a single level master page incorporating both
the content of the MasterPage and the SubMaster, so that I can get
around the fact that you can't see content pages in Design mode if
they use nested masters.

And, of course, you can't see the content of the SubMaster in design
mode at all.

I've created a User Web Control, CategoryList.as cx, which incorporates
a drop downlist, a GridView, and a DataSource.

I can drag that UserControl on to my DesignTime.mast er file (in design
view), and into my default.aspx file in design view, and both of them
build just fine. But when I go into either of them in source view and
copy and paste the line of code into SubMaster.maste r (since I can't
open it in Design View), I get an error.

The markup that is generated when I drag the User Control is
"<uc1:CategoryL ist ID="CategoryLis t1" runat="server" />"

When I cut and paste that markup in SubMaster.maste r, I immediately
get an error displayed "Unrecogniz ed tag prefix or device filter
'uc1'" That's without even attempting to build it. (When I try to
build it, it also adds "Unknown server tag 'uc1:CategoryLi st'.")

Is there anyway around this?

Sorry for the bandwidth. I found the answer. I copied the markup
code from the body of the page, but I didn't know about the @Register
directive at the top, so I wasn't copying it. Once I did, it worked
fine.

I have this scenario: ASPX Page dynamically loads userControl1 - which in turn dynamically loads userControl2. UserControl2 contains a TextBox Web Server control. When a user clicks a button in the ASPX page (not in either user control), a Postback occurs during which I'd like to retrieve the Text property value of the TextBox control. I have plenty of examples to work from that show how to retrieve a property value of a user control...

Hi, As you all know when an ASP.NET web form is created that will include web controls and such, it contains a FORM that that identifies the web form and its containing controls. Well, I have a web form who has several other (user & custom) controls, these are enclosed within the standard FORM tag. Additionally *some* of these user controls are actually forms as well. This results into nested Forms.

I've got a datagrid with some nested controls, created at design-time. The controls themselves have no databound values. After a few other operations on the page (selecting a few parameters, etc), a button is clicked and the databind occurs. This part works fine. It retreives the 4-10 rows it needs and using the itemdatabound formats everything nicely. What I intend to do then, is after the user has gone through the nested controls...

Hello, for a large web site project we would like to use nested Master Pages. Unfortunely VS2005 is not able to show pages in design mode when nested Master pages are used. This has the consequence that also each content page cannot be used in design mode. It is impossible to design hundrets of pages in source mode without design

Does anyone have an opinion or fact if nested user controls are a best practice, especially if you want performance from the page? I've seen pages that nest about 4 levels of user controls. Thanks

Group, I'm using Visual Studio 2003 to create an ASP.NET 1.1 project which contains nested server user controls in order to create a tree-like hierarchy. The tree is a sort of question and answer dialog. The user answers a question, and the next subquestion appears (using dynamic html display:none|block) depending on his answer.

Hi, I have a user control (EventStructureSelector) used in another user control (ResultsMenu). The class EventStructureSelector defines a public type (ModeType), that is used for one of its properties (Mode). The class ResultsMenu sets the property of the nested control during the PageLoad event. No big thing for now.

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,...
