WPF custom control on aspx

1 New Member
Hi,

I am trying to use a wpf custom control (that I created seperately, simple hello world, with no UI) on a web page (.aspx) in a web application. Is it possible to use a wpf custom control like that? If yes, how? If I simply add the dll of compiled custom control as reference, and try to create object, it gives me error " The calling thread must be STA, because many UI components require this." So, there must be more detail to it. I tried to google this error and follow the solution links but they did not make sense to me in this senario. So just wanted to first check if what I am doing is even possible, if yes, How ...?

Thanks a bunch,

WPF controls are only usable in WPF applications. You can't use a desktop control in a web application.

Look into using SilverLight to achieve the same look and feel as your WPF control.

I created a custom server control whose rendering logic relies on session variables and cookies. It works just fine at run time. The problem is at the design time, because session variables and cookies are not available, so that I get error messages. I just wonder if there are any way such as conditional compile options to overcome the problem? Thanks Charles Zhang

A custom control is derived from the WebControl class & encapsulates a TextBox & a Button. When the Button is clicked, the user is shown the JavaScript confirm dialog with the 'OK' & 'Cancel' buttons. If the user clicks 'OK', the TextBox gets populated with 'true' & if 'Cancel' is clicked, the TextBox gets populated with 'false'. Note that when the user first comes to the ASPX page that uses this custom control, the TextBox is empty. This...

Hello i have made a custom control. i have placed a panel on it. I want this panel to behave just like the normal panel. The problem i was having is that the panel on my custom control doesnt accept other controls. The control i drag drop on it becomes the child of my custom control's parent form and not the child of my custom control. Then i added this line "" before my custom control class (i dont know what this line does). Now

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
