I have a very simple ASP.NET page that uploads an Excel workbook, then processes it. It uses AJAXFILEUPLOAD from the AJAX toolkit on ASP.NET... Here's the markup:
<%# Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeBehind="ImportWorkbook.aspx.cs" Inherits="Timesheet.ImportWorkbook" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeaderContentPlaceHolder">
<h1 class="topContent">
Upload CPAS Timesheet Workbooks
</h1>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="RightContentPlaceHolder" runat="server">
<br />
<br />
<asp:HiddenField ID="tbTSID" runat="server" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="tbWorkbookPath" runat="server" />
<ajaxToolkit:AjaxFileUpload ID="AjaxFileUpload1" runat="server" AllowedFileTypes="xls,xlsx,xlsm"
CssClass="dropdown" MaximumNumberOfFiles="1" OnUploadComplete="AjaxFileUpload1_UploadComplete" />
<br />
<br />
<asp:Panel ID="ProcessChoices" runat="server" >
<br />
<br />
<p>
Select how you want this workbook processed:</p>
<br />
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rbChoices" runat="server" BorderStyle="Groove" BorderWidth="2px"
BorderColor="Black" BackColor="Teal" Font-Names="Tahoma" Font-Size="10pt" ForeColor="White"
Width="40%">
<asp:ListItem Value="True" Selected="True">  Replace ALL Items in the Timesheet</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="False">  Add Items from this Workbook to the Existing Timesheet Items</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
<br />
<br />
<asp:Button ID="btnValidate" runat="server" Text="Validate and Process"
BackColor="#B92217" ForeColor="White" BorderColor="#7C1810"
BorderStyle="Groove" Font-Names="Tahoma" onclick="btnValidate_Click" />
</asp:Panel>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content4" ContentPlaceHolderID="BottomSpanContentPlaceHolder" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
</asp:Content>
The master page and css pages are trivial, formatting only.
Here's the codebehind:
using System;
using System.IO;
using TimesheetUtilites;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using AjaxControlToolkit;
namespace Timesheet
{
public partial class ImportWorkbook : System.Web.UI.Page
{
private const string HDriveLocation= "H:\\mtv\\secure\\Construction\\Access\\CPAS WorkArea\\TimesheetUploads\\";
private string strWorkbookPath;
private int currTSID;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
if (Request.QueryString["ID"] != null)
{
tbTSID.Value = Request.QueryString["ID"]; // Storing the Timesheet ID in a hidden Textbox
}
}
else
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(tbWorkbookPath.Value))
{
ProcessChoices.Enabled = true;
}
}
int.TryParse(tbTSID.Value, out currTSID);
strWorkbookPath = tbWorkbookPath.Value;
}
protected void AjaxFileUpload1_UploadComplete(object sender, AjaxFileUploadEventArgs e)
{
strWorkbookPath = HDriveLocation + Path.GetFileName(e.FileName);
tbWorkbookPath.Value = strWorkbookPath;
AjaxFileUpload1.SaveAs(strWorkbookPath);
ProcessChoices.Enabled = true;
}
protected void btnValidate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool processOption;
bool.TryParse(rbChoices.SelectedValue, out processOption);
strWorkbookPath = tbWorkbookPath.Value;
TimesheetUtilites.ImportTimesheet imp = new ImportTimesheet(currTSID, strWorkbookPath, processOption);
}
}
}
My issue is simple. Although the event handler "AjaxFileUpload1_UploadComplete" works fine, and uploads the file in an instant, when I fire the "btnValidate_Click" event, the "tbWorkbookPath.Value" has become an empty string, and the "ProcessChoices.Enabled" propety doesn't change. Needless to say, the "Upload Complete" event handler is the only opportunity I have to capture this file path, so I'm at a loss what I'm doing wrong.
I posted on ASP.NET and go NO answers. Can anyone give me an idea where to start?
This is information you should be storing in your page's ViewState so that it persists between postbacks and resets on page initialization. Change your private string member to something like the following:
private string strWorkbookPath {
get {
return this.ViewState["strWorkbookPath"];
}
set {
this.ViewState["strWorkbookPath"] = value;
}
}
If you need a primer on what the ViewState is, check out this article on MSDN: Saving Web Forms Page Values Using View State. It's a bit dated but still communicates the basics of how ViewState operates currently.
Put a hidden field with runat="server" attribute on your page and use the below script:
<script type="text/javascript">
function uploadComplete(sender, args) {
var filename = args.get_fileName();
$("#hiddden_field_id").val(filename);
}
</script>
Now you should be getting the image name in your events.
I think you should try storing that value in session rather than a hidden field as the page is not reloaded and it was an ajax call. So when the button is clicked for validation, it is actually another request made but the value of the hidden field in this page object and the hidden field is still empty. Once your job is done for that value in session, remove it from there or set it to some different value.

I've had a look at lots of posts and I feel like I'm going crazy as nothing I've tried seems to work. I simply want to click a button and retrieve the value of a textbox.
I'm using web forms with a site.master so not sure if this could be affecting the problem, but most of the solutions I've seen don't appear to be using a site.master.
I'm not binding the textbox, initially I just wanted to create a contact form.
<%# Page Title="About" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="About.aspx.cs" Inherits="Blackburn_Pulse.About" %>
<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<script>$("#menuAbout").addClass("navi-active");</script>
<div class="contentBody">
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="tb_Test" EnableViewState="true" CausesValidation="false" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btn_Test" runat="server" OnClick="btn_Test_Click" Text="send test" />
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btn_Test" EventName="click" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</div>
</asp:Content>
public partial class About : Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Page.Master.EnableViewState = true;
if (IsPostBack)
{
var test_var = tb_Test.Text; //returning empty
}
}
protected void btn_Test_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var test_var = tb_Test.Text; //returning empty
}
}
UPDATE:
site.master.cs
public partial class SiteMaster : MasterPage
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
BindCategories();
}
}
protected void BindCategories()
{
Categories Categories = new Categories();
rpt_categories.DataSource = Categories.Get_Categories();
rpt_categories.DataBind();
}
protected void lb_newsCat_Command1(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
switch (e.CommandName)
{
case "naviTo":
//Redirect user to selected category
Response.Redirect("~/" + e.CommandArgument.ToString());
break;
}
}
}
I'm converting a PHP website to an ASP.net website. Turns out I had another HTML form tag on a search box that I haven't started working on yet.
Unfortunately the debugger doesn't throw an error if you have another form tag so anybody else who's just spent hours of their lives searching, double check you don't have more than 1 form tag!
In my site.master.aspx file, I had a search box as follows:
<form method="post" action="?">
<input class="form-control mr-sm-2" type="search" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search">
<button class="btn btn-outline-primary my-2 my-sm-0" type="submit">Search</button>
</form>
Once I took the extra form tag out, everything worked fine.
A user can send an alert to a group of users. The alert will comport a text and (operationally) an attached file. The problem is that, when the file gets bigger, the uploading takes longer and the UI is tied up.
This is what I'd like to do: After posting the form, I want the uploading to be done in the background, using, for instance, a new thread. The idea behind is that the user can keep working while the file is being uploaded.
I've read how threading works, I don't just see how to apply that as Threading is applied in the server-side.
Thanks for pointing me to solutions.
EDIT
I'm using ASP.NET MVC 2.O
If your talking about ASP.NET, you would first add a ScriptManager from the Toolbox (under AJAX Extensions).
Then add an AsyncFileUpload control (from AjaxToolKit).
This control has an OnClientUploadComplete event in properties. Tie it to a function, for example uploadComplete.
Your ASPX code should look something like:
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type = "text/javascript">
function uploadComplete(sender) {
$get("<%=Label1.ClientID%>").style.color = "blue";
$get("<%=Label1.ClientID%>").innerHTML = "Successfully Uploaded";
}
function uploadError(sender) {
$get("<%=Label1.ClientID%>").style.color = "red";
$get("<%=Label1.ClientID%>").innerHTML = "Upload failed.";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Asynchronous File Uploading"
ForeColor="#000066"></asp:Label>
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:AsyncFileUpload OnClientUploadError="uploadError"
OnClientUploadComplete="uploadComplete" runat="server"
ID="AsyncFileUpload1" Width="400px" UploaderStyle="Modern"
CompleteBackColor = "White"
UploadingBackColor="#CCDDEE" ThrobberID="inProgress"
OnUploadedComplete = "FileUploadComplete"
/>
<asp:Image ID="inProgress" runat="server" ImageUrl = "~/inProgress.gif" />
<br />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
</form>
</body>
Your codebehind file (.cs) should look something like this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
public partial class AjaxUploadFile : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void FileUploadComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string savePath = #"F:\BLOG\Projects\InsertData\UploadedFiles\";
string filename = AsyncFileUpload1.FileName;
if (AsyncFileUpload1.HasFile)
{
savePath += filename;
AsyncFileUpload1.SaveAs(savePath);
}
}
}
This should give you the async file uploading functionality you want. You can get the AjaxToolKit from http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/
Im having a .Master page with
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" />
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" id="UpdatePanel" updatemode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MasterIndhold_Member" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
And inside the ContentPlaceHolder I got an Panel with a FileUpload. The thing is that the FileUpload doesn't find the file. Here I want to add RegisterAsyncPostBackControl to the Scriptmanager, but how do I do this when the panel is on another page?
The nested page code looks like this
<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="MasterIndhold_Member" runat="server">
<asp:panel runat="server" ID="Panel_MyProfile_Member" Visible="false">
<asp:FileUpload ID="File1" runat="server" />
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkUploadImageMember" runat="server" onclick="LinkUploadImageMember_Click">Upload</asp:LinkButton>
And the CodeBehind for the FileUpload Looks like this
protected void LinkUploadImageMember_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (File1.HasFile == true)
{
if ((File1.PostedFile.FileName.EndsWith(".jpg")) || (File1.PostedFile.FileName.EndsWith(".jpeg")) || (File1.PostedFile.FileName.EndsWith(".png")))
{
byte[] input = File1.FileBytes;
Bruger.UploadImage(input, int.Parse(Request.QueryString["ID"]));
}
}
}
Please keep code examples to C# and ASP.NET as I'm new to this stuff ^^
Thanks
You could also use the ScriptManagerProxy class if you need a ScriptManager on your content page, but I'm not sure whether you need this at all. Do you really need an UpdatePanel on every content page? (because you declared it on the master page). I think it might be better to declare the UpdatePanel within the content page.
Try to define a trigger for your linkbutton, otherwise HasFiles is always false
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<Triggers>
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="LinkUploadImageMember" />
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:FileUpload ID="File1" runat="server" />
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkUploadImageMember" runat="server" Text=" upload " />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
If you cannot remove the UpdatePanel from the Masterpage, you could expose a property on the masterpage that gives access the updatepanel, like this:
public UpdatePanel MyUpdatePanel
{
get { return UpdatePanel1; }
}
From the contentpage you can access the update panel and update the triggers programmatically:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
((Site)Master).MyUpdatePanel.Triggers.Add(new PostBackTrigger() {
ControlID = LinkUploadImageMember.UniqueID });
}
I have found many solution for my issue but none doesn't work in my scenario.
I have created a test project to demo my concept.
Basically, there is a page that host a user control...
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
<div>
<uc1:WebUserControl1 ID="WebUserControl11" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
<br />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
WebUserControl1 has a dropdownlist and two other webusercontrols (to be displayed based on the selection of dropdownlist element) inside updatepanel as below.
<%# Register Src="WebUserControl2.ascx" TagName="WebUserControl2" TagPrefix="uc2" %>
<%# Register Src="WebUserControl3.ascx" TagName="WebUserControl3" TagPrefix="uc3" %>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged"
AutoPostBack="True">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlCreditCard" Visible="false" runat="server">
<uc2:WebUserControl2 ID="WebUserControl21" runat="server" />
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlGiftCard" Visible="false" runat="server">
<uc3:WebUserControl3 ID="WebUserControl31" runat="server" />
</asp:Panel>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Code behind file for WebUserControl1 is .....
public enum PaymentMethod
{
CreditCard = 0,
GiftCard
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
BindPaymentMethods(Enum.GetValues(typeof(PaymentMethod)));
}
private void BindPaymentMethods(Array paymentMethods)
{
DropDownList1.DataSource = paymentMethods;
DropDownList1.DataBind();
if (paymentMethods.Length > 0)
{
DropDownList1.SelectedIndex = 0;
UpdateCreditOrGiftCardPanelVisibility();
}
}
protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UpdateCreditOrGiftCardPanelVisibility();
}
private void UpdateCreditOrGiftCardPanelVisibility()
{
if(DropDownList1.SelectedValue == Enum.GetName(typeof(PaymentMethod),PaymentMethod.CreditCard))
{
pnlGiftCard.Visible = false;
pnlCreditCard.Visible = true;
}
else if (DropDownList1.SelectedValue == Enum.GetName(typeof(PaymentMethod), PaymentMethod.GiftCard))
{
pnlCreditCard.Visible = false;
pnlGiftCard.Visible = true;
}
}
Now, the problem starts here...There is an external javascript file [JScript1.js] (embedded resource) which basically is used to display an alert box.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
alert('creditcard form');
}
WebUserControl2.ascx.cs code behind is
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptInclude(this.Page, this.Page.GetType().BaseType, "JScript1", Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(this.Page.GetType().BaseType, "WebApplication1.JScript1.js"));
}
Alert window doesn't get displayed when I change the dropdownlist value. Even the script is getting registered three times (look in the firebug)
Need to use ScriptInclude instead of ScriptBlock as the original JS file is too big.
Can email the test app....
Thanks in Advance
After working around a bit, I found the solution.
I registered a ScriptManagerProxy in WebUserControl2.ascx
<asp:ScriptManagerProxy ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" >
<Scripts>
<asp:ScriptReference Assembly="WebApplication1" Name="WebApplication1.JScript1.js" />
</Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManagerProxy>
Then on the code behind of the same control, added...
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnPreRender(e);
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, GetType(), "test", "doSomething();", true);
}
and the JScript1.js file looks like below.
function doSomething() {
alert('via dosomething control2 form');
}
Hope that helps. Though I had to litter around more in my practical scenario but this was certainly the way I got it working.
Thanks,
Being new to ASP.NET I have run into trouble building my own Whack-a-mole program. I think my problem comes from using Buttons, which by themselves send post backs to the server, making the software unusable. The looks are in place, making new buttons show up in the grid, in different places by random. However, when a button is pushed – the score doesn’t change (which I feel is strange).
Not so strange is that the Button doesn’t work since it sends post back to the server – reloading the UpdatePanel. I think I should use a different controller like the CheckBox and style it hard using CSS (which isn’t a problem). Is this the correct way to go, or should I make use of JavaScript AJAX instead?
Note to self: This technique shouldn’t be used in a public application since it put too much unwanted pressure on the web server. Use in test and learning only!
Thanx for listening!
<%# Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master"

Excerpt from the Code file:
// points vairable
private int points;
// Property for points
public int Points
{
get { return points; }
set { points = value; }
}
protected void Timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Random random = new Random();
int visible;
foreach (Button button in buttonList)
{
visible = random.Next(1, 10);
if (visible == 3)
button.Visible = true;
else
button.Visible = false;
}
lblPoints.Text = "Score: " + Points + " p";
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Points = Points + 1;
}
Where is your Points variable declared?
I think it might be a member of the Whack_a_mole WebForm class and that is why it doesn't update. The instance of the WebForm is only used for 1 Postback, and then it is destroyed.
But more important, for a game like this you should use JavaScript or SilverLight.
