This is the web develpment forum. Your question is totally unrelated. I suggest you try the Terranium game forums instead, and have a look at the numerous code samples doing exactly what you are try to do.

I'm trying to create a .NET server control that is basically an enhanced Panel control. However, just inheriting from the Panel class is not enough; when I place another control inside the enhanced control, I get an error (e.g. Type "MyPanel" does not have a property named 'asp:label').
Do I just need to implement another interface, or do I need to create a completely different type of control?

Wow, what a dig! Just spent the last two hours figuring this one out, luckily I had to figure it out for my own project Big Grin | :-D

Ok this is all rather confusing and I don't have all the answers in the right place but basically there are quite a few control types which you can build in ASP.NET. There are User Controls, Composite Controls, Template Controls etc. etc. All rather confusing and so far I have not seen the point, but anyway.

Basically what you are trying to do is contain one User Control in another User Control, which is not really "proper", you are "supposed" to use a Template Control, I think, to do that.

But you CAN do it using User Controls and it involves on very important attribute that needs to be set in your class. Namely: ParseChildren

By default it is set to true (which I think is daft) but for your purposed you need to set it to false. You put it in your ascx.cs class like so:

...
namespace rka_revamp.components
{
	/// <summary>
	///		Summary description for __dmenu.
	/// </summary>
	[
	ParseChildren(false)
	]

	public abstract class __dmenu : System.Web.UI.UserControl
	{
...

That basically tells ASP.NET that any children of your User Control are NOT properties of that User Control. Sounds a bit daft if you ask me, but it works!

Then you also need to override the Render method to loop through the chidren controls.

Here are the two web pages which showed me how to do it (I love you Google!):
http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/14/71007.aspx[^] (the answer is nearly at the bottom of the long question/answer series)

and

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/dotnet/excerpt/progaspdotnet_14/index2.html?page=5[^]

If none of the above makes sense then send me your code and I can then tell you exactly what to do Smile | :)

Yes, you're right about the ParseChildren attribute. After I posted my message, I discovered just what this little attribute does, and when I set it to false, my stuff started working. Thanks for the links, I'll read the articles. (Guess it helps to know just what the correct search term is for Google.)

Just Create a DSN For ur access database on the webserver.Then use this dsn name in the connection strings in ur asp/asp.net pages.

Detailed help with coding the same can be found in this website from many examples.

Hope this helps.

I would suggest to use ASP.NET rather, it is much, much easier than ASP Smile | :)

I assumed you were new to ASP, that's why I suggested ASP.NET, there's no point in statrting in ASP then moving to ASP.NET, they are worlds apart. Eg. I cant do any ASP myself, but ASP.NET is a breeze. I would seriously recommend you start ASP.NET and stick to it Smile | :)

If thats the case..... Thanks for the advice. I will take this a good advice, and move into asp.net. Again... thanks.. Smile | :)

Is this possible?

Is it possible to implement a list view control in HTML/javascript? I'm thinking something along the lines of SysListView32 in report mode.

Impressive stuff! Unfortunately it doesn't work with Mozilla/Netscape which is one of my requirements. But maybe I'll be able to use some of it - I don't need all that fancy pancy stuff Smile | :)

I think I've come up with a solution. div and table are my friends I believe.

I've never really understood the purpose of div before. But these last few days have really made me aware of its powers.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to make something constructive of blink too.. Wink | ;)

A DIV is simply a container to which you can apply CSS reliably, nothing more. Very useful though Smile | :)

Access User Control in ASP.NET

7-Oct-02 7:15

I thought about it, but it would be too complex for my backend to handle, I think. I haven't put much thought into it, but I know I'd have to do page to page "marshalling" which doesn't really fit my model.

I've implemented a "GUI" toolkit in Java/JSP. Each page is a form, and each controlling GUI component uses the GET/POST-mechanism and various javascripts to signal events to the server components. And I maintain various states in the frame (my name for a web page), keep internationalizable information, data bound components etc. This model only works well inside page boundaries. I have been pondering though if I could cross the page boundaries and use frames/iframes, but as the project I'm working on doesn't require that, I'll keep it for a rainy sunday or something. Smile | :)

I finally managed to solve the problem using div and table. I got a nice looking list view/report in the end. Smile | :)
