Loading an ASP.Net page inside another ASP.Net page using Ajax - c#

I managed to load a distinct page inside a div in another page using jquery ajax. The problem I am encountering is that when I click a button inside this sub page, it cause a postback to the whole parent page. How can I force it to just refresh the panel it resides in?
One more thing. I am not sure I am doing the right thing, but the parent page has its own form with runat=server settings, while the secondary page that is loaded inside the div has its own form. I cannot remove the form from the latter because it causes an error.
I have seen some asp.net ajax tutorials but they do not deal with loading sub pages that havbe their own .net controls. Can anyone guide me to some good tutorial?
Thanks!

You need to create a empty with an Id for example : ajaxDiv
Then you create a jquery script like this :
<script type="text/javascript">
// Called at the loading of a page
$(document).ready(function () {
//here you execute an ajax function
$.ajax({
url: 'the url to retrieve data as string ex : /Webservice/Test',
type: 'get',
async: true of false,
//if the request is successful, you load the content of your div with the strings you loaded
success: function (data) {
$("ajaxDiv").html(data);
}
});
});
</script>
the tips is to load your page into the ajax request.

OK, since you are using jQuery, let's set up that event manipulation.
I assume the following markup:
<button type="submit" id="mySubmitButtonId">Submit</button>
Then, on my page I have the following javascript:
$("#mySubmitButtonId").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
// do here what you want to do instead including refresh of a section via ajax
});

Load partial view after main view

I have several partial views that have been added to my main view on my MVC site. One of the partial views takes a long time to load however, as it can take a while to retrieve the data for it. Is it possible to load the main view and start loading the partial views, but if the view is still loading then display the rest in the meantime, with the final one showing once it has finished?
On a similar note, while a partial view is loading (or being refreshed) how can I get some kind of "Loading" screen to show over the view area so that the user knows that something is happening?
Thanks
Try the below codes
$.ajax(
{
url: '/Controller/Action',
data: { Id: '1' }, //input parameters to action
beforeSend: function () {
$('#div-result').show();
var img = '<img src="../../Images/loading.ico" />';
$('#div-result').html(img);
},
success: function (data) {
// $('#div-result') -> div in the main view
$('#div-result').html(data);
}
});
As Alexey says, simply add content element(s) where you need the partial views
<div id="partialViewHolder" style="display:none">Ajax content goes here after initial page loads, but it is hidden until then</div>
And then in your javascript, add something like (assuming you have already loaded jquery into the DOM):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function () {
$( "#partialViewHolder" ).load( "#Url.Content("Your PartialView Controller Method Goes Here")" );
$( "#partialViewHolder" ).show();
}
</script>
Note that you need to use $(window).load() instead of $(document).ready() as a trigger to allow the page to render while the partial view is loading.
As I understand, you want to get partial view async. You can use Ajax to draw partial view, for example, by using jQuery ajax to get data from server and draw it, when ajax request is done. So your main view will be loading much faster.

Using jQuery with partial views in asp.net mvc 4

I have a View with the following layout
The parent View is composed of several PartialViews as ilustrated in the picture. One of which is a list where each item has a corresponding Edit button which loads the item into another PartialView, but this is loaded via ajax into a modal dialog-bootstrap. This part works fine.
The problem I have is that no script or jquery event related to the controls of this modal gets executed. For example datepicker widget is never displayed, can not capture the change event of the dropdown, or capture the submit event for the form or the click event of Submit button.
All the scripts are placed in the main View. for example this is the event handler for the modal submit:
$(function () {
$('#myModal form').on('submit', function () {
console.log("okk");
clearErrors();
$.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize(), function (data, status) {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
$("#details").html(data);
}).error(function (error, status, a, b) {
$('.modal-body p.body').html(error.responseText);
});
return false;
});
});
In my _Layout.cshtm I have included the necessary scripts (I think):
#Scripts.Render("~/js")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/globalization")
#RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</div>
</body>
where "~/js" is:
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/js").Include(
"~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js",
"~/Scripts/jquery-migrate-{version}.js",
"~/Scripts/bootstrap.js",
"~/Scripts/bootstrap-datepicker.js",
"~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js",
"~/scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js",
"~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive-custom-for-bootstrap.js",
"~/Scripts/locales/bootstrap-datepicker.es.js"
));
What could be the problem with my scripts and jQuery for this dialog ? Indications from similar questions in the site have not worked for me so far.
I have tried to express as clearly as possible if something is not understood the code or the illustrations I'm all ears. Thank you
As Partial View is loaded via ajax you need to initialize datepicker after the html is rendered on page so you need to put datepicker initialization script in success function callback:
$.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize(), function (data, status) {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
$("#details").html(data);
$("#textBoxID").datepicker(); // initialize datepicker for partial view element here
})
For events you can write delegated events to make them work,choose the closest element of the partial view, i am using container of partial in which you are appending partial view html:
For click event:
$("#details").on("click","#someButtonId",function(){
// write event code here
})
For more detials of on() you can see HERE
If they are being loaded in by ajax you may need to give more context to your selectors.
$(document).on('submit', '#myModal form', function () { ...

Calling FormsAuthentication.SignOut() method using jquery

I am using Asp.Net/C# in my project.I am using Forms Authentication.Currently I call FormsAuthentication.SignOut() on click of Asp.Net button.It works well , but my requirement is that I need to log out a user from horizontal menu option
Logout
That would be Html menu , so how do I call FormsAuthentication.SignOut() method when a user clicks Logout from the menu bar.Is there any solution possible or any other technique.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
FormsAuthentication.SignOut() is a server side code and you cannot directly invoke it from client side (i.e. browser) - instead, you need to create a URI that will do the same for you.
For example, you can have AJAX service that will call above code or simply speaking, you can have logout.aspx page that will call FormsAuthentication.SignOut() in say page_load. Such a URI can be invoked from jquery to get you what you want.
In your case, you should simply have a link to logout aspx page in your logout menu (or in menu click, write document.location = "/logout.aspx" which essentially means navigating to log-out page).
here you go:
$('#logout').click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: '/logout',
success: function () {
document.location = '/logged_out';
}, error: function () {
alert('Logout failed');
}
});
return false;
});

Asp.net retrieve content from a Control

I will start by telling I'm not an ASC/C# developer, this is for a homework. (i hope somebody will understand what i want :D, because i dont know exactly the terms)
I have Friends.aspx and Friends.aspx.cs
In Friends.aspx i have something like
<%# Reference Control="~/FriendBox.ascx" %>
<div class="controlcontainer clearfix friendlist_containeritems" id="divFriends" runat="server"> </div>
In Friends.aspx.cs i have this to populate divFriends:
foreach (FBUser user in list){
Control control = LoadControl("FriendBox.ascx");
FriendBox myControl = (FriendBox)control;
myControl.user = user;
divFriends.Controls.Add(myControl);
}
In my page a have a form, and divFriends is inside the form. I have a button in this form. If i just press the button, my page gets submitted and i can retrieve values from selected checkboxes. (Every control contains a checkbox)
Everithing worked fine until i tried to submit the page via Ajax (JQuery).
My problem is that even the checkboxes are on page (i can se them, select them), when i do an ajax submit i cannot access values from checkboxes.
This is the code i use to retrieve values from checkboxes:
foreach(Control ctrl in divFriends.Controls) {
var friendBox = ctrl as FriendBox;
//i can get here
if (friendBox != null)
{ //i never get here - because friendBox is allways null }
}
How can i make the content from divFriends accesible when i submit my form with Jquery?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: here is the javascript i use
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.big').click(function () {
//.big is my button
$('.big').attr('disabled', true);
var form_form = $(document).find('form');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: form_form.attr('action'),
data: form_form.serialize(),
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
console.log('success');
},
complete: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus) {
$('.big').attr('disabled', false);
}
});
return false;
});
});
The javascript is working because i can submit data, and i can receive data back (json), when i look at the data submited i dont have the checkboxes from divFriends.
The problem appears to be asp.net state managment issue. You are only adding FriendBox one time (I'm assuming, probably with an if not page.ispostback sort of thign), and not on each page hit. Since FriendBox is added dynamically it's not surviving a postback and thus it does not exist when you try to read it.
You should add FriendBox each time the page loads, on Init before viewstate is loaded. Adding the controls during on init will allow Viewstate to track the values and will probably fix the issue.

Run ajax scripts on page when navigating with ajax?

I got a bit of an issue in my ASP.NET MVC project.
I have a chat div in the bottom right corner (like facebook), and of course I do not want this to reload when navigating to all my navigation is ajax.
The problem I am facing is that I use the following code on the top of the view page:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#divTS').hide();
$('a#showTS').click(function() {
$('#divTS').slideToggle(400);
return false;
});
});
</script>
The problem is that this code is only loaded with ajax and does not seem to fire? I would like to run all scripts in the newly loaded view, just as if I hadn't navigated with ajax.
I cannot put this in the site.master as it only loads once and then probably the divs I am trying to hide doesn't exist.
Is there a good way to run scripts in the ajax-loaded div?
You will need to run the scripts in the success callback function of your ajax script. I would recommend you externalizing this into a separate function:
function setupEffects() {
$('#divTS').hide();
$('a#showTS').click(function() {
$('#divTS').slideToggle(400);
return false;
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
setupEffects();
});
And in the success callback of your script call this function:
success: function(result) {
setupEffects();
}
The Masterpage gets reloaded when you navigate to another View. You can also check if a div exists with $('#div').length > 0.
By the way, "full site" ajax navigation should not be used. Reload your chat on navigation - best put it into a control (makes things easier).
