net page with two controls
linkbutton
button
While running my application, I'm changing my link button text using javascript function.
Now I want to read that text when I press button. Button event is there in server side.
When I try to read like below
string s = linkButton.Text;
It is not giving my updated text.
How can I get it?
At first, declare this HiddenField in your markup
<asp:HiddenField ID="link" runat="server" />
Then in the function, you change the link button text, you should add the following code, in order the new text to the HiddenField been added.
document.getElementById(<%=link.ClientID%>).setAttribute("Value",newText);
Last, in your server side code you can get the value you want with the following way:
string s = link.Value;
You can use a HiddenField.
The LinkButton does not implement IPostBackDataHandler, therefore it doesn't load postback data.
You can write the HiddenField.Value on client- and read it on serverside.

I am trying to capture data entered by a user through javascript running on my webpage, then transfer that data to ASP.NET server program that actually created that webpage.
So I created a asp:HiddenField as follows:
<asp:HiddenField ID="BusesFromDrawing" runat="server" />
And in the javascript I set its value (and make sure it's set by displaying it in a div).
Then in my C# server application I write this in a button handler - it is supposed to simply take the data from the hidden field and paste it in a textbox.
string allconfigs = BusesFromDrawing.Value;
tb3.Text = allconfigs;
and tb3 has the following declaration:
<asp:TextBox ID="tb3" Text="Default Text" runat="server" />
However, I always end up with an empty string replacing "Default Text" even though I put some text in the hidden field and it shows up in the javascript portion.
The problem seemed to be in the javascript portion, when setting the hiddenfield I was using:
BusesFromDrawingField.Value = somestring
I just needed to use a lower-case 'v':
BusesFromDrawingField.value = sometring
even though in C# I use an upper-case 'V' when asking for the value!
I have a situation where I'm not sure if I should use a HyperLink or LinkButton. When a user clicks on a list of links I want to trigger a click event where I save some information to session (should use LinkButton) but I also want these links to open up new tabs (should use HyperLink).
A LinkButton will postback, it's essentially a button that renders like a link. You could set a response.redirect(url) in the event handler to set a new tab.
Can you add more information, of what you want to do in the handler, maybe this could be achieved with Jquery calling a server-side method?
Difference between Hyperlink and LinkButton
Click Api with Jquery and Jquery post.
You will need to use a LinkButton which causes a PostBack. To open additional tabs, emit JavaScript.
protected void MyLinkButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session["MyData"] = 123;
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(),
"newWindow",
"window.open('http://myurl','_blank');",
true);
}
I would say a HyperLink that hits a specific URL to store the necessary session data, then use Response.Redirect to redirect to the following page after storing the information.
The HyperLink's URL would point to your server so that you can store the information, and then you would use a redirect to point the user to the correct endpoint after storing the necessary data.
Example
HyperLink's URL points to ~/yourpage.aspx?state=NY, with target="_blank"
Server responds to URL and checks querystring.
If query string exists, store data (if (Request.QueryString["state"] != null) Session["state"] = Request.QueryString["state"])
Redirect the user to the appropriate URL (Response.Redirect("http://www.ny.gov"))
If the data is at all confidential, then you would want to use the LinkButton methods pointed out in other answers. Opening up a new tab is tricky, so you would probably have to write out some Javascript as outlined in #andleer's answer since I don't believe there is an easy way to pop open a new window from the server side otherwise.
You need to use LinkButton.
The difference between the two is that LinkButton postbacks your page to the server allowing you to make your logic while HyperLink does not postbacks - just redirects you to the specified link, therefore, use HyperLink when you want to navigate.
The LinkButton control is used to create a hyperlink button. This control looks like a HyperLink control but has the same functionality as the Button control.
with LinkButton you also get the facility of Web Control Standard Properties and Control Standard Properties .
You're right, can't do both, since a LinkButton will trigger a postback, and a hyperlink will simply navigate to a new page.
In your case use you can use a LinkButton and the server code will have to to do a redirect (if you want to navigate to another page) or handle the Tabs and return the page with the Tab opened if you are using a tabs element. (so the tab navigation will not be done front end)
In such cases you can use button for saving some information and you can also use it as a like option. But if you want to add a link then you have to use hyperlink.. You can also use javascript to link a url with the button so that when user clicks on that button the session information will get stored and then he will redirected to the new webpage.
I am trying to right click on a LinkButton and open it in a new tab or seperate window page displays nothing. I found some solution for the use of Hyperlink button as it has property to set target to "_blank" but LinkButton has not any target attribue.
I want to use LinkButton instead of hyperlink button, its just because i can't set command arguement or command name on hyperlink button and can't fire an event on it.
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkHeadingHindi" Text='<%#Patrika.Common.ConvertNews(Eval("strMainHeadingHin").ToString())%>' CommandArgument='<%#Eval("intNewsId") %>' runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
It would be great if anybody has a solution and let me know in case of any concern.
Thanks !!
Based on the accepted answer to this question, if you want to perform a POST (such as a LinkButton does) but have the result open in a new window, you need to add target="_blank" to the form on the page, not the link itself.
Obviously you don't want to do this when you initially render the page, as everything that caused a postback would open in a new window.
Instead, try adding the following attribute to your LinkButton:
OnClientClick="$('form').attr('target', 'blank')"
This will dynamically set the form attribute just before the form is posted back by a click to the link.
Note that this doesn't give the right-click functionality you want, but it does work to open in a new window on a left-click.
If you don't have access to JQuery, you'll need to do something like
protected void Page_PreRender(object se, EventArgs e)
{
this.Page.Form.ID = "someUniqueID"; // unless your form already has an ID
yourLinkButton.OnClientClick =
"document.getElementById('" +
this.Page.Form.ClientID +
"').setAttribute('target', '_blank')";
}
From the docs
Use the LinkButton control to create a hyperlink-style button on the Web page. The LinkButton control has the same appearance as a HyperLink control, but has the same functionality as a Button control. If you want to link to another Web page when the control is clicked, consider using the HyperLink control.
As this isn't actually performing a link in the standard sense, there's no Target property on the control (the HyperLink control does have a Target) - it's attempting to perform a PostBack to the server from a text link.
Depending on what you are trying to do you could either:
1) Use a HyperLink control, and set the Target property
2) Provide a method to the OnClientClick property
that opens a new window to the correct place.
3) In your code that handles the PostBack add some JavaScript to fire on PageLoad that will open a new window correct place.
If you like when click the link button,then open new window,
please see this
insert base tag like this
<head>
<base target="_blank" />
</head>
If you want to pass some information to the page using hyperlink, pass it in the url using QueryString.
<asp:HyperLink id="hyperlink1"
NavigateUrl="~/MyPage.aspx?intNewsId=10"
Text="ClickMe"
Target="_blank"
runat="server"/>
You can't have it both ways, you'll have to choose between:
1) the linkbutton executing some code in the current page
2) a hyperlink opening another page in a new window
I guess you want to have the linkbutton executing some code in the new page, but that's impossible.
or if u like use . anger tag
Just render an anchor with href set to appropriate url and set the target attribute to _blank it will open the url into new window
<a href="urlOfThePage" target="_blank" >Click me</a>
I want to develop an application in asp.net with C#.
In that application there are one text box and one label.
I want the following functionality:
When I press any key in textbox then I should get this value on .cs page i.e; code behind. And from .cs page I want to add this value to the label.
The problem is that there is no keypress event for an asp textbox and if I take a html text box then I don't get its value on .cs page
How can I come out with this problem?
Because a keypress on a textbox is a client side event but you want to perform server-side processing you will need to use AJAX requests.
You may find the following useful:
AJAX Toolit
Using Jquery to call asp.net page methods
In asp.net the TextBox will have TextChanged event but you will need to enable post back for the button and the event will fire when you tab out of the TextBox.
For the task you want either use javascript or add a button and when this button is do what you want.
I don't think this is a good aproach in web app., In this way you will end with a lot of post-backs.
However, if you still want this functionality. Texbox has TextChanges event, and if you also change the textboxs's AutoPostBack property to true you will get something close, but you will still have to move a currsor.
But it is still a terible solution. Why don't you simply use a button that fires click event instead?
Alternative solution is to use Ajax or javaScript,..
You can simply create a JavaScript-Method for this.
Your Textbox:
<asp:TextBox ID="textBox" runat="server" onkeydown="onFilterTextChanged()">
</asp:TextBox>
Your JavaScript, do a TimeOut to not do this every 0,0001 secs.
function onFilterTextChanged() {
if (timeoutID)
window.clearTimeout(timeoutID);
timeoutID = window.setTimeout(updateFilterText, 600);
}
Send the Values to the CodeBehind, textis your TextBox-Text.
function updateFilterText() {
var text = document.getElementById("<%=textBox.ClientID %>").value;
__doPostBack("<%=textBox.ClientID%>", "CommandArg" + text);
}
You won't need to do as many PostBacks as with the native TextChanged-Event and you can simply use this e.g. for Auto-Extender-Plugins. Pack the TextBox into an UpdatePanel and you're good to go!
Unless of course you do not NEED to go back to the server, in which case just set the labeltext in updateFilterText.
I have a textbox as follows:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtOtherApps" Height="400" Width="400"
TextMode="MultiLine" ontextchanged="txtOtherApps_TextChanged" ></asp:TextBox>
How to display link in this textbox?
The TextBox allows you to display text which the user can edit. It does not allow you to display anything but plain text. To display a URL in the TextBox, simply set its Text property:
txtOtherApps.Text = "http://www.example.com/";
It wont, however, be a "link". Clicking the URL will cause a text cursor to be placed, allowing for the user to edit the URL.
It is possible if you use JavaScript
Use JavaScript on your text element - such that:
<input type="text" name="t1" id="t1" value="http://www.google.com" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='pointer' ;" onClick="window.open(this.value);"/>
Only Java script can do what you are asking for.
You won't be able to click on the link, but you can just set the Text property of the TextBox to the URL.
ASP.NET will render TextBoxes as textareas (in your case, because it's multiline) or inputs. These are standard HTML fragments which are just plain text containers. You can style them, but you can't really linkify the contents of them.
If you really just want to put the text of a link into a box, do this:
// either from the server:
txtOtherApps.Text = YourLinkString;
// or from the client:
<script>
document.getElementById('<%=txtOtherApps.ClientID%>').value = YourJsLinkValue;
</script>
If you want something to happen with the user clicks on the text area, you can add an onclick handler to it...but this would be weird.
You will need a RichTextBox. The .NET one is not available for web applications, but there are a few third party solutions available.
http://www.richtextbox.com/ is one of them, you will have to see for yourself if there is any available that suits your needs better.
