Right On!

You only needs page events if your going to use them.

Just as a rule, I use Page.Load to load data
and Page.Init to load controls or HTML in code behind.

So I could have used:

Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        username.Focus()
    End Sub

No,

you create things that you want to persist during the page lifecycle.

So if you need a textbox, you make it in Page.Init, so when you post back to the server, the textbox and it's value will live through the postback.

If you make the textbox in page.load, it will show, but the textbox will die during postback, causing the value to die as well.

Make Sense?

You use Page.Load to load data the first time the form is shown, and to make adjustments to the form elements for first time viewing.

Errrrrrrrrrmmm

I have had a quick look at this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms178472(v=vs.100).aspx[^]

In baby-speak, Page.Init is more 'permanent'?

It will take some reading and time to digest it!

But Page.Init and Page Load are not interchangeable, anyway.

It's really important to learn the page lifecycle, before you get really fancy with your web apps. Otherwise you'll be posting many questions or headaches that don't make sense at that moment in time.

The connection String property has not been initialized? Error

23-Jun-14 16:23

Yes, I can imagine it will avoid headaches in the future.

There seems to be an abundance of articles here:

http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx?q=life+cycle&x=7&y=6&sbo=kw[^]

so I have made a note to try to come to terms with the basic concepts over the next few days.

I am grateful that you have stressed it's importance. I suppose it's like learning any human language: we put basic building blocks - grammar, vocabulary, etc - in place to construct the skeleton of the language and only afterwards do we add flesh to it.

Thanks again, jkirkerx

public Connections(string conStr)
{
this.connStr = conStr;

}
public string connectionString
{
get { return connStr; }
set { connStr = value; }

}
public SqlConnection GetDBConnection()
{
_connection = new SqlConnection(connStr);
return _connection;
}
public void connectDB()
{
try
{
_connection.Open();

}
catch

In Web.config

Works fine for me.

MVC Razor: Getting a user id stored in Entity Framework when calling the Controller that Display Profile View.

I need to be able to figure out something very difficult. I have to create an MVC controller that will display the "User Profile" View (shows user information) when the "Display User Profile" View's ActionLink Is selected. Now, the user is an Active Directory user who has a user profile database entery created when loging into the application. The user profile data contains a profile data ID stored in Entity Framework. How would you recommend I access the user from the Entity Framework model? I know I should use the Entity Framework user profile ID when doing the controller search but don't know how to how to access it and how to find the user record for the actual search? Any help would be great.

Thanks,

MVC Razor: Dynamically displaying and hiding UI text controls in the parent View and it's partial Views.

I need to be able to figure out something very difficult. How do I create a parent Controller that dynamically hides and shows partial View's UI controls after the parent View's ActionLink controller is called? My example is I have a user roles model and based on the user's role when selecting the main View's ActionLink only certian UI controls are to be dynamically displayed in both the parent View and it's partial Views. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

msbuild with no Visual Studio (Yes Windows SDK installed & Copy Local=true)

A project gets built fine from Visual Studio without a problem from developers work station. Now we need to move it to DEV and UAT server. I've been struggling all day trying to get my ASP.NET project built with msbuild on a server with no Visual Studio installed (dev tools not permitted on servers) -

The type or namespace name 'Optimization' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web'
The type or namespace name 'DotNetOpenAuth' could not be found

Couple attempts were made:
1. Install Windows SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/hardware/hh852363) - appears there has been a lot of discussions from another Stackoverflow post (Couple relevant posts from Stackoverflow did not help[^]). You'd also need to add to environment variables PATH
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools
(This did NOT help)

2: gacutil to install the dll's? (no vs command prompt - as said, no dev tool/Visual Studio permitted on server)

3: copy the dlls' to (i.e. same folder as MSBuild.exe):
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\
(This did NOT help)

4: Copy local = true
(This did NOT help - the dll's apparent msbuild can't find already in bin folder of the ASP.NET application)

It appears to be a bug with msbuild - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/434abf1a-30db-4b13-8062-13755898dd71/msbuild-is-unable-to-link-to-a-webapplication-project?forum=msbuild

Anyone has experience with this? Thanks

Store gridview selected row values in sessions

hilbiazhar20-Jun-14 1:49

I want to store the values of a Gridview selected row in sessions through a button field in the gridview but
its giving me a "Index out of range " error at

GridViewRow row = AdminSearchGridView.Rows[index]

Note: There is only one row in the gridview currently from which I want to select the values I want.
I checked that the e.CommandArgument is returning a int value 0 but
i cannot figure out what is going wrong since AdminSearchGridView.Rows[0] makes sense as there is a row in the gridview
then why Index out of range.?

Here is my code for Gridview...

<asp:GridView ID="AdminSearchGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
Style="color: #333333; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; 
text-align: center;width: 1530px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333"
AutoGenerateDeleteButton="True" DataKeyNames="ID" OnRowDeleting="AdminSearchGridView_RowDeleting"
OnRowCommand="AdminSearchGridView_RowCommand">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />

     <Columns>
<asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" Text="Issue" CommandName="Issue" />
 <asp:BoundField DataField="IssueStatus" HeaderText="Issue Status" />
 <asp:BoundField DataField="AccessionNo" HeaderText="Accession Number" />
 <asp:BoundField DataField="CallNo" HeaderText="Call Number" />
 <asp:BoundField DataField="Title" HeaderText="Title" />
    </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>

Here is Code Behind...

protected void AdminSearchGridView_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
  {
   if (e.CommandName == "Issue")
      {
        int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

 GridViewRow row = AdminSearchGridView.Rows[index]; // INDEX OUT OF RANGE ERE

 string accessno = AdminSearchGridView.Rows[index].Cells[3].Text;
 string title = AdminSearchGridView.Rows[index].Cells[5].Text;
                

       Session["accessno"] = accessno;
       Session["title"] = title;
             }
         }

The error suggests there are no rows in AdminSearchGridView at the time you call your code. Can you confirm it with debugger while running your code? The fact it is displayed on page doesn't mean it is available later Smile | :)

If it is the case then you can check the following:
- Make sure ViewState is enabled on your page.
- if you bind data to AdminSearchGridView in Page_Load() make sure it is no rebound on postback:

if (!IsPostBack) { /* bind here */ }

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

Do you have a SMTP server running on your local PC? Without it this will not work.

Kandepu Rajesh20-Jun-14 10:11
