How to display a google bar chart, instead of data table only?

This is asp.net coding website page coding page in here I insert the JavaScript and retrieve data by ID just I set height and weight only
<h1 class="style2"> Channeling Paid and UnPaid Monthly</h1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<asp:GridView ID="Ch_Data_Monthly" runat="server" BackColor="White"
BorderColor="#3366CC" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="4">
</asp:GridView>
<asp:Literal ID="ltScriptsDataMonthly" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
<div id="Ch_BarChart_Monthly" style="width: 900px; height: 300px;" />
This is the C# coding. I'm getting data by SQL Server R2 stored procedure.
i have connecting my data bases by web config called "connectionString"

}

only need one document.getElementById
replace this...
var chart = new google.charts.Bar(document.getElementById(document.getElementById('Ch_BarChart_Monthly')); chart.draw(data, options); } google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart)
with this...
var chart = new google.charts.Bar(document.getElementById('Ch_BarChart_Monthly')); chart.draw(data, options); } google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);

Please fix this line and try
document.getElementById(document.getElementById('Ch_BarChart_Monthly'))

Try this
document.getElementById('Ch_BarChart_Monthly'));
chart.draw(data, options);
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart)

Scriptmanager equaivalent required in converting webform to mvc

It looks like you are trying to automatically click a button after 5 seconds if the your spider job is running.
All the script manager is doing is embedding a tag containing your javascript when the markup is generated.
Id say the easiest way to do this is to add an attribute to your model.
class MyModel
{
public bool SpiderRunning { get; set; }
}
Then set this in your controller:
model.SpiderRunning = this.WebSpider.IsRunning
Then in your view, only add the script to the page if this value is true:
#if(Model.SpiderRunning)
{
<script>setTimeout(function(){document.getElementById("btnUpdateResults").click();}, 5000);</script>
}

ASP.NET page crashes with MySql connection

I am trying to write a dashboard with information about the website's hits and where people come from etc.
I wrote the following page:
<%# Page Language="C#" Inherits="Daschboard.Board" MasterPageFile="~/site.master" %>
<asp:Content id="main" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="main">
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" id="updateableWidgets">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="WidgetsTable">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</asp:Content>
With the following code behind:
using Widgets;
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Configuration;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
namespace Daschboard
{
public partial class Board : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected List<IWidget> widgets;
private MySqlConnection db = new MySqlConnection (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings ["mySql"]);
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
widgets = new List<IWidget>();
BuildWidgtTable();
var WidgetThread = new System.Threading.Thread(new System.Threading.ThreadStart(this.InitWidgets));
WidgetThread.Start();
}
private string BuildWidgtTable ()
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder ();
db.Open ();
var tableName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings ["DatabaseSiteName"];
var query = "SELECT * FROM " + tableName + ", Widget WHERE " + tableName + ".WidgetID = Widget.WidgetID";
var command = new MySqlCommand (query, db);
var result = command.ExecuteReader ();
while (result.Read()) {
widgets.Add(getWidget(result.GetString(4)));
}
db.Close ();
sb.Append("<table>\n");
sb.Append("</table>");
result.Close();
return sb.ToString();
}
private void InitWidgets ()
{
db.Open();
foreach (var widget in widgets) {
var siteId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["siteID"];
var query = "SELECT * FROM Values, Widget WHERE Widget.WidgetID = Values.WidgetID AND SiteID = " + siteId;
var command = new MySqlCommand(query, db);
var result = command.ExecuteReader();
while(result.Read()){
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
result.Close();
widget.Init ("1");
}
db.Close();
}
private IWidget getWidget (string fileName)
{
IWidget widget = null;
switch (fileName) {
case "PageHits":
widget = new PageHits();
break;
case "SiteHits":
widget = new SiteHits();
break;
}
return widget;
}
}
}
When I run this something goes wrong; the debugger stops working without a good error.
It does load the widgets from the database but it doesn't get the values from the database.
I am using Monodevelop on a Mac.

You are running the widget initialization method in a separate thread (InitWidgets method). The page might have already finished rendering when this method executes. If you want to use asynchronous operations in ASP.NET I would recommend you reading about Asynchronous Pages on MSDN. The idea is to mark your WebForm as asynchronous by setting Async="true" in your Page directive (<%# Page Async="true" ... %>) and then use the RegisterAsyncTask method on your web form.

The report you requested requires further information with crystal report2008,vs2008

i am having problem in crystal report.i am sending you my .aspx page and codebehind page.Thing is that with the same code which i sending its working good in vs2005,windowsxp.But just now we moved into window7 and i am creating another one now its not woking.

DisplayGroupTree property is obsolete for CrystalReportViewer in VS 2008. delete it.
you can use ToolPanelView property et set to ToolPanelViewType.GroupTree or ToolPanelViewType.ParameterPanel.

ASP.NET Client Id's not being generated for loaded control

I have a UserControl ('AddressInfoGroup') within an updatepanel that dynamically loads user controls ('AddressInfo') via the loadControl method. I have two other such controls on the same page, both of which function correctly.
When the AddressInfoGroup control renders an AddressInfo control to the page, the text boxes in AddressInfo have id's unchanged from the ascx markup. These id's should have been dynamically generated by the .NET clientID process. Because of this, when a second AddressInfo control is added to AddressInfoGroup, I get a runtime exception "An entry with the same key already exists". The two working controls produce proper clientID's and consequently don't return this error.
I should also mention that the AddressInfoGroup control has a few buttons which are correctly rendered with clientID so it seems to be an issue with the AddressInfo control itself. Any suggestions at all would be really helpful!

I figured it out finally.
Each addressInfo Control is created on the fly by addressInfoGroup. After instantiation, addressInfoGroup calls the 'initControl' method of the newly created addressInfo control. Within that init function I retrieve a few clientID values:
txt_zip.Attributes.Add("onblur", "GetCityState('" + txt_city.ClientID + "','" + ddl_state.ClientID + "','" + txt_zip.ClientID + "');");
chk_edit.Attributes.Add("onClick", "ToggleCityState('" + txt_city.ClientID + "','" + ddl_state.ClientID + "','" + txt_zip.ClientID + "')");
Because of my reference to the clientID's, all of the controls within addressInfo retain the markup Id's. If I comment those lines out, .NET generates the proper Id's. This has something to do with WHEN these lines are called. When I moved the lines into addressInfo's postback, everything worked as expected.
So end result: If a parent control tells a child control to reference a clientID, all of the child controls clientID's seem to malfunction.

Have you thought about using a ListView control to dynamically create and display your Address controls on the fly? You would have one instance of the control hard-coded on the page and then in your ListView's ItemTemplate you would put in your Address control and databind it to the data in your ListView's DataSource property.

Have you tried explicitly setting the ID value of the dynamically added AddressInfo controls? For instance, in the Page_Load of the AddressInfoGroup:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (_controlListToBind != null && _controlListToBind.Count > 0)
{
NumberOfControls = _controlListToBind.Count;
int index = 0;
foreach (Address address in _controlListToBind)
{
AddressInfo addressInfo = (AddressInfo)LoadControl("AddressInfo.ascx");
addressInfo.ID = String.Format("AddressInfo{0}", index++);
addressInfo.InitControl(Editable, address);
plc_infoCtrls.Controls.Add(addressInfo);
}
}
else
{
if (NumberOfControls <= 0)
NumberOfControls = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < NumberOfControls; i++)
{
AddressInfo addressInfo = (AddressInfo)LoadControl("AddressInfo.ascx");
addressInfo.ID = String.Format("AddressInfo{0}", i);
addressInfo.InitControl(Editable, null);
plc_infoCtrls.Controls.Add(addressInfo);
}
}
RefreshButtons();
