Re: controls in Gridview footer generating different ids in Windows 2003 server vs Windows 2008 server

Hi all,

We recently upgraded our web application from Windows server 2003 to Windows server 2008.  Everything works good except that the Gridview footer controls' id are generating different.  This is causing some external javascript failure.  The Gridview code is:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UPSposors" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:GridView ID="grvSponsors" Visible="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false" HeaderStyle-Font-Names="Verdana"
            HeaderStyle-Font-Size="9pt" PageSize="5" ShowFooter="true" TabIndex="9" runat="server"
            OnRowCancelingEdit="grvSponsors_RowCancelingEdit" OnRowEditing="grvSponsors_RowEditing"
            OnRowUpdating="grvSponsors_RowUpdating">
            <Columns>
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderStyle-Width="100px" SortExpression="SponsorType" HeaderText="Contact Type">
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                        <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlEditSponsorType" runat="server" Width="99px" Font-Names="Verdana"
                            Font-Size="8pt">
                        </asp:DropDownList>
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="lblSponsor" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("SponsorType") %>' Font-Names="Verdana"
                            Font-Size="8pt" /></a>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                    <FooterTemplate>
                        <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlAddSponsorType" runat="server" Width="99px" Font-Names="Verdana"
                            Font-Size="8pt" TabIndex="13">
                        </asp:DropDownList>
                        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvAddSponsor" runat="server" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Business Contact-Contact Type is required."
                            InitialValue="" Enabled="false" ControlToValidate="ddlAddSponsorType"><strong>!</strong></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                    </FooterTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:CommandField FooterText="<U><a style='cursor:hand;font-family:Verdana;font-size:8pt;padding:2px;' TabIndex ='14' id='aAdd' onclick='TriggerAddSponsor();' >Save</a></U>"
                    ShowDeleteButton="true" ShowEditButton="true" HeaderStyle-Width="125px" CausesValidation="false"
                    ControlStyle-Font-Names="Verdana" ControlStyle-Font-Size="8pt" />
            </Columns>
         </asp:GridView>
        </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>


The generated HTML control in Windows Server 2003 is:
<td>
   &lt;select name="tcGeneral$tpGeneral$grvSponsors$ctl03$ddlAddSponsorType" id="tcGeneral_tpGeneral_grvSponsors_ctl03_ddlAddSponsorType" tabindex="13" style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:8pt;width:99px;">
            &lt;option value="">Select&lt;/option>
            &lt;option value="BUS">Business&lt;/option>
            &lt;option value="IT">IT&lt;/option>
            &lt;option value="SP">Sponsor&lt;/option>
    &lt;/select>
  <span id="tcGeneral_tpGeneral_grvSponsors_ctl03_rfvAddSponsor" style="color:Red;display:none;"><strong>!</strong></span>
</td>

The generated HTML control in Windows Server 2008 is:

<td>
  &lt;select name="tcGeneral$tpGeneral$grvSponsors$ctl03$ddlAddSponsorType" id="tcGeneral_tpGeneral_grvSponsors_ddlAddSponsorType" tabindex="13" style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:8pt;width:99px;">
        &lt;option value="">Select&lt;/option>
        &lt;option value="BUS">Business&lt;/option>
        &lt;option value="IT">IT&lt;/option>
        &lt;option value="SP">Sponsor&lt;/option>
    &lt;/select>
  <span id="tcGeneral_tpGeneral_grvSponsors_rfvAddSponsor" style="display:none;"><strong>!</strong></span>
</td>


As you can see the id generated for W2K3 server has "ctl03" in it but the W2K8 does not.  This is causing our javascripts to fail.  On my laptop running IIS7.5 the id has "ctl03" its just on the windows server 2008 that is missing it.  Am I missing some kind of setting or deployment?

Thank you for any help in advance,
AJ

The most likely cause is that you've switched from ASP.NET v2 to ASP.NET v4:
Client Ids Generation with ASP.NET 4.0[^]

If you can't fix the script, you can either set ClientIDMode="AutoID"[^] on the affected control or page, or you can switch your AppPool back to ASP.NET v2:
Specify a .NET Framework Version for an Application Pool (IIS 7)[^]

Thank you Richard. That solved the problem. I did set the framework to 4.0 however on my and other developer's localhost the client id was generating as it always did. Only when we deployed it to Windows 2008 server that we ran into this issue. Any idea why the client id is generating as "AutoID" on local machines but not on the W2K8 server?

Thank you again for your help.

That's odd. Are you sure your local copy was running under IIS, and not the Visual Studio web-server?

Also, have a look at the web.config files; it's possible that your local file was upgraded to .NET 4.0 and had the application-wide default set to AutoID, whereas the deployed file didn't have that setting.

My local copy is running under VS Web-server but I thought since the project is set to target Framework 4 (in project properties -> Compile -> Advanced Compiler Settings) that it would behave same way as it would on the server running under IIS.

Why does web-server not follow the same rule/logic as IIS when it comes to targeting .net framework.

Thanks for your input.

With those settings, it should be using .NET 4 for your local copy.

How about the web.config file? Are there any differences between your local copy and the one on the server?

CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UserInfoaa' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

10-Jul-14 5:53

You are right. Here is what I found in web config of the developers:

<pages controlrenderingcompatibilityversion="3.5" clientidmode="AutoID">

However this was not updated in the web configs of the servers in all environments.

Good call,
Thanks you.

1. do not repost your questions all over the forums - pick the best fitting and stay with it!
2. remove all the unrelated code - it is extremely hard to follow such long listing

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

That stuff about ProfileCommonaa is not defining a class ... you might want to look closer at that

Error in my Entity Framework connection string

Stephen Holdorf5-Jul-14 3:32

I'm getting this error:

An error occurred while getting provider information from the database. This can be caused by Entity Framework using an incorrect connection string. Check the inner exceptions for details and ensure that the connection string is correct.

Here is my Entity Framework connection string:

And here is my Model connections:

I just looked at the error details and this is what I'm getting:

I am hitting Google as well.

As always, thanks you guys!
