How bind CheckBox from myclass? - c#

I want bind checkbox from my class.
but error Text="<%=ci.CancelDetail%>" Properties is "This is not scriptlet. Will be output as plain text."
Here is my code.
HTML FROM
<% foreach (ClassCancelInfo ci in ClassCancelInfo.ListCancel())
{ %>
<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="chk" Text="<%=ci.CancelDetail%>" />
<% } %>
Thanks for you time.

If you want to do this thing using looping then
following is solution:
<%
int i=0;
foreach (ClassCancelInfo ci in ClassCancelInfo.ListCancel())
{
%>
<input type='checkbox' id="chk_<%=i.ToString()%>"/>
<label for="chk_<%=i.ToString()%>"><%=ci.CancelDetail%></label>
<!--<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="chk" Text="<%=ci.CancelDetail%>" />-->
<% i=i+1;
}
%>

You cannot use <%= ... %> to set properties of server-side controls.
As Bhavesh suggested it's better to use CheckboxList and bind it with a data-source.

ASP form parameter names being changed to include the master page contentplaceholder

Whenever I submit the form, the keys used in the post data are changed from the IDs I wrote to the following ones:
Ideally I'd like to access them using the same keys as the IDs of the inputs they came from, like in normal HTML.
That's not how ASP.NET web forms work
When you put markup on a page with the runat="server" attribute, you are not actually writing page markup. You are defining server-side controls that emit page markup. You're not meant to use them like actual HTML elements.
When the page is posted back, the ASP.NET framework looks at the request message and parses all of the values. It then populates the server-side controls with the necessary data so you can retrieve it easily using ASP.NET syntax.
So, instead of
var offerID = Request.Form["ctl100$ContentPlaceHolder1#OfferIDField"]
you should simply use
var offerID = this.OfferID.Text;
This is the way ASP.NET web forms work.
The old-fashioned way
If you'd rather do it the old-fashioned way, remove the runat="server" attribute and write your markup like regular HTML:
<INPUT ID="OfferID" Name="OfferID">
...and then you can read it the "normal" way:
var offerID = Request.Form["OfferID"];

Use model on SharePoint application page .aspx

I am working on SharePoint to create a Feedback questionnaire form using an application page that is basically a aspx page.
I wish to do this by emulating MVC as far as possible. I've set up my model in the code-behind:
public List<QuestionViewModel> modelQuestions = new List<QuestionViewModel>();
Next, I need to display each question and an appropriate input depending on the question type (e.g. single line, multi line, single selection, multiple selection).
I've got it displaying the questions correctly:
<fieldset class="what-went-wrong">
<% for (int i = 0; i < modelQuestions.Count; i++) { %>
<p>
<label for="QuestionText">
<% if (modelQuestions[i].Required) { %>
<span class="req-field indicator">*</span>
<% } %>
<%= modelQuestions[i].QuestionText %>
<% if (modelQuestions[i].Required) { %>
<span class="req-field right">* Required field</span>
<% } %>
</label>
</p>
<% } %>
</fieldset>
This give's me the question text. I'm now trying to construct the appropriate input, but this <% %> tags is not working for this:
<% if(modelQuestions[i].QuestionTypeId == QuestionType.SingleLine) { %>
<input id="modelQuestions_<% i %>" name="modelQuestions[<% i %>]" type="text" placeholder="<% modelQuestions[i].Placeholder %>" />
<% } %>
I can't seem to get it to construct the html element using details from the model (in the value for id, name, placeholder etc.)
Also, I've no idea how to go about posting this back to the server when I get to that point.
Is there any merit in continuing? Are there other controls/methods more appropriate to use in this case with aspx?
You cannot generate HTML markup like this. Even data-binding expressions will not help, because they bind ASP.NET controls' attributes values, not the plain output HTML in the page.
You should generate the markup in the "code behind", like this:
Page markup:
<div id='AnswersPanel'>
<div>
Page code behind:
protected void PageLoad(...)
{
AnswersPanel.InnerHtml = "";
AnswersPanel.InnerHtml += string.Format("<input id='modelQuestions_{0}' name='modelQuestions[{0}]' type='text' placeholder='{1}' />",
i.ToString(),
modelQuestions[i].Placeholder);
}

Set DropDownList selected value in aspx page within a foreach

I am trying to set the selected value of a DropDownList in an aspx page within a foreach loop. I want the selected value to be set based on a property from the current object within the foreach.
The code is as below.
<% foreach (ColorScheme AColorScheme in ColourSchemeList)
{ %>
<div class="form-horizontal content-row" id="colorSchemeForm" >
<div class="form-group">
<label class="alert-info col-xs-6 col-xs-offset-1">
Terminal:
<%: AColorScheme.TerminalName %>
</label>
<asp:LinqDataSource runat="server" ID="Colors" ContextTypeName="ColorSchemeParts.ColorSchemeHolder" TableName="AvailableColorSchemes"></asp:LinqDataSource>
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" SelectedValue="'<%: AColorScheme.ThemeName; %>'" ID="tbTerminalColorScheme" DataSourceID="Colors"></asp:DropDownList>
</div>
</div>
<% } %>
I am so far unable to access the property AColorScheme.ThemeName (I have tried different inline expression tags but so far without any luck) and I am now wondering if it is even possible.
instead of <%: AColorScheme.ThemeName; %>
use
<%# AColorScheme.ThemeName %>
or
<%= AColorScheme.ThemeName %>

Using Directives

If I have a repeater going through a list of data to retieve the values I use
<%# Eval("current_item") %>
And with a bit of luck it outputs the information for "current_item"
However if I want to check if "current_item" equals 1 for instance, this will tell me whether to print the next lot of information. So how do I use that information to determine the output, effectivily I want to put that information into an variable.
<%# myInt = int.Parse(Eval("current_item")) %>
The above code is what I want to do really.
Then I will do something like this:
<% if (myInt == 1) { %>
<p>Information to display if myInt = 1</p>
<% } else { %>
<p>Other Information</p>
<% } %>
Any Ideas?
I have used something similar to the following in a GridView:
<p>
<asp:Label Visible='<%# ((int)Eval("current_item") == 1) %>' Text="This is the first item" runat="server" />
<asp:Label Visible='<%# ((int)Eval("current_item") != 1) %>' Text="This is not the first item" runat="server" />
</p>
Give that a shot and see if it works for a Repeater too.

ASP.net - The name 'pageNumber' does not exist in the current context

I'm trying to create a pager in ASP.net and am running into an error.
Trying to do this in my markup:
<div class="pager">
<% foreach(int pageNumber in this.PageCollection) { %>
<% if( pageNumber == this.PageIndex ) { %>
<span class="current"><%= pageNumber %></span>
<% } else { %>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkGoToPage" runat="server" OnClick="lnkGoToPage_Click"><%= pageNumber %></asp:LinkButton>
<% } %>
<% } %>
I am getting the following error:
Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'pageNumber' does not exist in the current context
The error is happening on the LinkButton line. It works fine on the first if case...but for some reason my variable does not exist on the else case.
Does anyone have any idea why this is not compiling or how I could do the same thing differently.
It's been a while since I have done regular ASP.net and I am used to the MVC way.
You can't place <%= pageNumber %> inside a LinkButton.
Alternatively, use the Repeater control and the OnItemDataBound event to add logic such as pageNumber == this.PageIndex in the code behind.
<asp:Repeater ID="Pager" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Literal ID="ltlGoToPage" runat="server" Visible="false"></asp:Literal>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkGoToPage" runat="server" OnClick="lnkGoToPage_Click" Visible="false"></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
You can toggle the visibilty of the controls in the OnItemDataBound event.
In the code behind, reference the controls and apply any logic:
var ltlGoToPage = (Literal)e.Item.FindControl("ltlGoToPage");
var lnkGoToPage = (Literal)e.Item.FindControl("lnkGoToPage");
<div class="pager">
<% foreach(int pageNumber in this.PageCollection) {
if( pageNumber == this.PageIndex ) { %>
<span class="current"><%= pageNumber.ToString() %></span>
<% } else { %>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkGoToPage" runat="server" OnClick="lnkGoToPage_Click"><%= pageNumber.ToString() %></asp:LinkButton>
<% }
} %>
This will help eliminate some of the markup. Also, called ToString() on page number as that's just common practice for me, but you might not want it that way.
This is not how you do things in asp.net web forms, you should do the loop in the code behind.
The error is caused by the fact that the problem <%= pageNumber %> is in the middle of a control.
Sorry about my previos post. I wanted to say the way I see it is to use Text property of the control.
This should work:
<div class="pager">
<% foreach(int pageNumber in this.PageCollection) { %>
<% if( pageNumber == this.PageIndex ) { %>
<span class="current"><%= pageNumber %></span>
<% } else { %>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkGoToPage" runat="server" OnClick="lnkGoToPage_Click"></asp:LinkButton>
<%
lnkGoToPage.Text = pageNumber.ToString();
} %>
<% } %>
Also, you should think about giving sdifferent IDs to the LinkButtons to make sure they are different. But, conceptually, the code above should work
