Here is my asp.net Repeater From within it there is a button. I want to get the value of lblFaulType in a string in code behind when i click Button1, How can I do that?I have tried many approaches but nothing working. Please give me your suggestions.

We may need to see the CodeBehind for this page, and specifically the "Button1_Click" method (click event).
Now though, it appears as though you only have one of the labels with an ID of "lblFaultType" (maybe you misspelled that in your initial description. Each of the other labels all carry sequentially numbered IDs (e.g. ID="Label1", ID="Label2", ID="Label3", etc), and your ClickEvent (the Button1_Click method) will need to iterate through those items to know 'which' label you are attempting to obtain a value from.
Suggestion: It may be better to apply a ClickEvent on each of the particular labels since it will have the ID there with it (a JScript/JQuery solution).

This actually a GREAT question!
(in fact good interview question)
Why?
Because how.net works for a gridview, listview, or a repeater?
They are ALL very similar.
If one has failed to grasp the “most basic” event model in .net, then suggestions to use JavaScript, or all kinds of wild approaches will be suggested (and they would get a failing mark in answering this question).
When using data bound controls that repeat data, then you can set a special command to trigger the Itemcommand event.
The attribute setting is called “CommandName”.
There are built in commands – and the command you use is important. However, "just" setting command name to somthing of your liking is sufficient in most cases.
This will CAUSE the ItemCommand event will fire. And once that occures, then you have "itemIndex" to point to any given row in the repeater (or gridview, or listview, or form view - the list goes on!!!).
So, add this to your button:
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Assing Fault"
class="btn btn-success" OnClick="Button1_Click"
CommandName = "Select" CommandArgument = '<%#Eval("Fault Type") %>'/>
Now, the the ItemCommand event, you can do this:
Protected Sub RepterDetails_ItemCommand(source As Object, e As RepeaterCommandEventArgs) Handles Repeater1.ItemCommand
Debug.Print("item command")
Dim MyRow As RepeaterItem = e.Item
Dim h As Label = e.Item.FindControl("lblFaultType")
Debug.Print(h.Text)
End Sub
Of course, since we set the CommandArguemnt to pass the value we want, then of course you can also do this:
debug.print("Value of FaultType = " & e.CommandArgument)
So, be it a classic "data aware" control in .net? Well be it a listview, gridview, repeater, and MANY MORE, then use the built in "gift horse" features that of course expected this common need and solution.
And you can get the selected index into the repeater with this:
Debug.Print(e.Item.ItemIndex)

Thanks guys but i found the answer at https://youtu.be/Oltxy1sGIds
So i did it like this:
RepeaterItem item = (sender as Button).NamingContainer as RepeaterItem; string type = +(item.FindControl("lblFaultType") as Label).Text;

ASP.NET: UpdatePanel not displaying even when Visible set to True

I have two Update Panels in an aspx page and one ModalPopupExtender inside each of them. The problem I am facing is that, I have set the Visible property to false in the aspx page and set it to True when it needs to be displayed. But the UpdatePanel is not showing up even though I have set Visible=True property.
aspx code:
<%--Request closed --%>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="udpModalReqClose" runat="server" Visible="false">
<ContentTemplate>
<div style="display:none">
<asp:Button ID="btnDummyButton_ReqClose" UseSubmitBehavior="true" runat="server" Text="DummyButton" Style="display: none;" />
</div>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlCloseReq" runat="server" BackColor="White" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderColor="Black" BorderWidth="1px">
<div>
<table id="Table24" runat="server" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="10" width="400px">

<td align="center">
<asp:Label ID="lblcloseSuccessOPR" runat="server" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="Red" />

</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Link buttons which triggers the modalpopup in aspx:
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton3" OnClick="lnkCloseReleaseHL" runat="server"
Text="Close"></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Decline">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkDeclineHLRelease" runat="server" OnClick="lnkDeclineHLRelease_Click">Decline All</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
Code behind:
public void lnkCloseReleaseHL(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
udpModalReqClose.Visible = true;
string successMsg = "Request has been closed Succesfully.";
lblcloseSuccessOPR.Text = successMsg;
mpeClosedSuccess.Show();
}
protected void lnkDeclineHLRelease_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
udpModalReqDecline.Visible = true;
string successMsg = "Request has been declined.";
lblRequestDecline.Text = successMsg;
mpeRequestDecline.Show();
}
If I do not set the Visible=False property in the aspx page, one of the ModalPopup is shown on the webpage, blank with the 'OK' button I have inserted in the popup.
Also, if I have just one UpdatePanel in my aspx page, the popup works perfectly fine without setting Visible property. Once I add another UpdatePanel below it, this problem occurs(screenshot in the link), where the panel with 'OK' button is displayed on page load.
Panel appearing on page with the 'OK' button
I tried searching for every possible solutions on the web but nothing has helped me. If someone can please guide me how I can resolve this, it would be of great help. I just want to know how I can make multiple UpdatePanels work without having this issue.

I'm not sure, but you can try using
style="display:none"
instead of
Visible="false"

Intermittent issue with Telerik TabStrip controls 'error creating control'

I've been getting an intermittent issue when i'm adding or using the telerik controls for tabstrip.
Here's what it looks like:
http://imgur.com/DYhXzNy
error creating control - telerik:RadTabStrip Duplicate component name 'RadTabStrip1'. Component names must be unique and case-insensitive.
What i've done:
Restarted VS
Uninstalled and reinstalled AJAX controls
Copied the Telerik.Web.UI bin file to my project's bin directory
All assemblies in web.config matches the current version of BIN i'm working on.
However, i'm still getting this issue more frequent than usual. It works again after clicking on the smart tag a couple of times or after restarting VS. recently, i had to keep on updating the BIN files and restart VS again to make it work. Also tried to clear VS cache but it keeps on happening. You guys have other suggestion on how i can permanently resolve this issue?
Update:
It happened again and seems to happen when try to follow the hierarchy w templates demo and do the following
Created a grid and included a nestedviewtemplate tag
made a radtabstrip inside the tag
placed one tab and added a multi page (used the smart tags at this point)
added a radlistview control. even added the placeholder tag.
Here's what i made after the tag
<telerik:RadMultiPage ID="RadMultiPage1" runat="server">
<telerik:RadPageView ID="RadPageView1" runat="server">
<telerik:RadListView ID="RadListView1" runat="server" ItemPlaceholderID="PlaceHolder1" DataKeyNames="JobOrderIndex" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource20">
<LayoutTemplate>
<div>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolder1" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
</div>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td><i>Job Order No.</i>
</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("JobOrderNumber", "{0}") %>'></asp:Label>
</td>
<th>Status</th>
<th>
<asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("JobOrderStatus", "{0}") %>'></asp:Label>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Plate Number</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ProfitCenter", "{0}") %>'></asp:Label>
</td>
<td>Job Type</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("JobType", "{0}") %>'></asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Job Order Date</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("JobOrderDate", "{0:d}") %>'></asp:Label>
</td>
<td>Created By</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="Label6" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Problem Description</td>
<td colspan="3">
<asp:Label ID="Label7" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ProblemDescription", "{0}") %>'></asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadListView>
So, i noticed that the error occurs as soon as i place the source for the RadListView control and certain other controls or smart tags for the grid or the tab will not show up.
If you notice that i'm not doing anything right (which is most of the time) please let me know and i would appreciate the wisdom you can share with me so it can be the Telerik master race i ought to be.
Thanks again,
C

I figured it out, I eventually added a control .aspx page and this error occurs when 2 controls with the same ID is found in one module.

Displaying search results in a Website

I am working on a website where i need to search for items from database and display it in page.I am using Datalist for displaying all the items .Now i need to display all the items according to some category.For example if i search for a two-wheeler it may have many categories or manufacturer's.Now I want to display it separately according to the categories.I can use many datalist to do that,but it will slow down the site.Instead which control can i use to do this.I searched the web but got no idea.So please give me sugessions to go about it.Any sugessions will be appreciated.
Code:
<asp:DataList ID="Dlitems" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatColumns="4"
CellPadding="0" CellSpacing="15">
<ItemTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImgbtnProductImage" CssClass="imgdisp" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("ImagePath") %>'
CommandArgument='<%#Eval("ProductCode") %>' runat="server" CommandName="cmdView" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td width="20px"></td>
<td>
<img src="../Database/images/inr.jpg" alt="addtocart" />
<asp:Label ID="lblproductprice" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Price") %>' CssClass="lbl" />
</td>
<td>
<asp:ImageButton ID="imgbtnaddtocart" runat="server" Height="25px" Width="25px" ImageUrl="~/Database/images/addtocart.JPG"
ToolTip="Add to Cart" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("ProductCode")+","+ Eval("ProductName")+","+ Eval("ImagePath")+","+ Eval("Price")+","+ Eval("LongDescription") %>'
CommandName="addtocart" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

You can take benefit of gridview.
Bind you gridview data.
And letter merge the rows.
For an example you can use the below link
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/34337/How-to-merge-cells-with-equal-values-in-a-GridView
Edit 1
Some links
How to display group data separately using DataList in ASP.NET?
http://aspnettuts.wordpress.com/2010/10/21/asp-net-repeater-group-recordsdata-delete-selected-rows/

You should go for a Repeater control.
Example on Repeater
<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="Repeater1">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImgbtnProductImage" CssClass="imgdisp" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("ImagePathForTwoWheeler")%> + <%# Eval("ImagePathForCategory") %>'
CommandArgument='<%#Eval("ProductCode") %>' runat="server" CommandName="cmdView" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

var oWnd = oManager.GetWindowByName("RadWindow1");
oWnd.Close();
}
function GetRadWindow() {
var oWindow = null;
if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow;
else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;

}
function CloseDialog() {
GetRadWindow().close();

Thanks again for your help !!!

Have all the required DLL's or in your website BIN folder?
I think we have the same scenario, But I used Devexpress.
I don't know if is a bug on VS studio, but I have to manually add all the DLL's I used on my project BIN folder and upload it to production server.
Hope this help you!

It is possible that you have hit one of the famous ( won't fix :) ) IE limitations - 31 stylesheets per page and 4095 selectors per file.
http://blogs.telerik.com/aspnetmvcteam/posts/10-05-03/internet-explorer-css-limits.aspx
I'd recommend that you see if the problem exists in FF or Chrome.
Here you can find a test page, demonstrating the problem in IE.
http://demos.telerik.com/testcases/BrokenTheme.aspx
In the first case, you can try to combine the files as explained here:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/general-discussions/custom-skin-asp-net-theme-ie-31-style-sheet-limit.aspx
This is just an assumption of course :) Normally, it is not easy to guess what happens in such scenario.

If your combo box works in dev, but not in production (or other environment), I think your problem is the data source.
you can confirm this by hardcoding the values for the combo box and seeing if it is then clickable in production.

Hello Dear Arnaud Adigard, if you code works fine locally then there show be a server problem where you are trying to deploy it. May be some file is missing or any other problem. It's generally not your cade problem because it's fine. :)

Check web config and make sure debug mode is False once it is deploy to IIS.
