From UserControl page, Call Page_Prerender in Parent page - c#

I have a aspx page name MakeRedemption.aspx, in which have a UserControl (Search.ascx).
There is Page_Prerender() in the MakeRedemption.aspx.
I would like to ask, how can I call the Page_Prerender() from MakeRedemption.aspx, by a function in Search.ascx.
It is something as follow :
Actually there is a looping in one of the function in my User Control page.
The Page_Prerender (MakeRedemption.aspx) will trigger after all the loop finish.
What I want is :
Everytime before end of each itme of the loop, I will like to trigger the Page_Prerender on the MakeRedemption.aspx to do something.
Something like :
for (int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i ++)
{
//some code here
// I would like to trigger Page_Prerender here to do something before end of the loop.
} // the Page_Prerender (in MakeRedemption.aspx) trigger after all the loop finish.
Means that, this for loop has i = 10, thus, I would like to trigger the Page_Prerender 10 times inside the for loop.
My PreRender function in the aspx file is as follow :
protected void Page_Prerender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//some code here
}
Not sure this Page_Prerender() is consider as the auto generate OnPreRender() or not.
I would like to trigger this Page_Prerender() instead of OnPreRender() .
Sorry if I am asking a stupid question, I am new in programming and c#.
Kindly advise.
Thanks.

Finally i find the way to do it, the oodng is as follow :
Add this following code in the aspx.cs page:
delegate void DelMethodWithoutParam();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DelMethodWithoutParam delParam = new DelMethodWithoutParam(Page_prerender);
this.ucSearchGifts.PageMethodWithNoParamRef = delParam;
}
Page_prerender(){
//some code here...
}
and add this following code in the user control cs page:
private System.Delegate _delNoParam;
public Delegate PageMethodWithNoParamRef
{
set { _delNoParam = value; }
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_delNoParam.DynamicInvoke();
}
When click on the Button1 in user control page, the Page_prerender() in aspx page, which is parent page, will be trigger.

ASP.NET: add postback to anchor

In my javascript file, I got an ajax to get all list and iterate these data and append <a id='userID' class='btn'>Assign ID<> to my list.
So, how do a add postback to these anchor and redirect it inside my method in the server. Below is my code but didn't work. When I click the achor button, it just redirect/refresh to the same page without doing any changes and didn't show the text.
<a id='uniqueID' class='btn assignID' href='javascript:void(0);' onclick='javascript:__doPostBack('uniqueID','')'>Assign ID</a>
protected void Action_assignID(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// assign ID action
Response.Write("Pass");
}
You should be changed your button to:
<a id='uniqueID' class='btn assignID' href='javascript:void(0);' onclick="javascript:__doPostBack('uniqueID','Assign ID')">Assign ID</a>
And it's a good idea to implement the IPostBackEventHandler interface in your codebehind as below:
public partial class WebForm : Page, IPostBackEventHandler
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
}
}
public void RaisePostBackEvent(string eventArgument)
{
// do somethings at here
}
}
Hope this help!
The __doPostBack method really doesn't do anything special except, well... perform a POST operation back to the same page with two specific form arguments.
The first parameter is the __EVENTTARGET and the second parameter is the __EVENTARGUMENT.
The magic all happens in ASP.Net where it automagically wires up your controls to event handlers, but since you are creating these entirely in JavaScript the server doesn't know that those controls exist.
However, you can manually grab these values and do something with them.
//Client Side JavaScript:
__doPostBack('my-event', '42');
//Code Behind
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
var target = Request.Params["__EVENTTARGET"];
var args = Request.Params["__EVENTARGUMENT"];
Target.Text = target; // 'my-event'
Argument.Text = args; // '42'
}
}

Remove redundancies in code

I'm still new at this so I will try to explain my problem the best I can. English is not my first language so I apologize if I use some terms incorrectly.
I have a 100 line code that is executed every time a button is pressed. My problem is, I have 20 buttons and they all contain the same code (they are only slightly different in means of grabbing info from different source). Is there any way to do this instead of copying the same code too many times.
Basically my code is this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//file data source url
sourceUrl = ("www.myurl.com")
//Grab data
code
code
code
//Store data
code
code
code
//Write data
code
code
code
}
Every button has the same code except for the "sourceUrl" part. If I want to add more buttons I have to copy>paste the whole code and my application is starting to get HUGE. Is there any way to shrink the code by only having the code once, and then calling an action or method every time the button is pressed. So instead of having 100 line code multiple time, I'll have one line code for each button and one 100 line code on the top that will be the source for that one line code.
Thanks in advance
Use the Tag property of your buttons to store the source url string and then set, for every button, the same event handler
private void buttonCommonHandler_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button b = sender as Button;
CommonMethod(b.Tag.ToString());
}
private void CommonMethod(string sourceUrl)
{
// Execute the common code here....
}
You could set the common handler and the Tag using the form designer window or you could do that dynamically mimicking the code prepared for you by the designer in the InitializeComponent call
button1.Click += buttonCommonHandler;
button1.Tag = "www.myurl.com";
button2.Click += buttonCommonHandler;
button2.Tag = "www.anotherurl.com";
That's what functions are for. Use this layout:
private void YourFunc(string sourceUrl)
{
//Grab data
code
//Store data
code
//Write data
code
}
Now your buttons' event handlers look like this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
YourFunc("www.myurl.com");
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
YourFunc("www.myurl2.com");
}
Sure there is a way. Just make the whole function a function that takes the url as a string parameter. And then call that function from your code behind.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//file data source url
ProcessData("www.myurl.com");
}
private void ProcessData(string sourceUrl)
{
//Grab data
code
code
code
//Store data
code
code
code
//Write data
code
code
code
}
Here we can use use CommandName property, by passing URL in every button's CommandName property and passing it as a parameter to your Common Method to fetch data , So you can create a single function and call it through you btn_Click event .
<asp:Button ID="button1" runat="server" Text="clickMe"
CommandName="put your URL here" OnCommand="button1_Click" />
<%--OnClick="button1_Click" />--%>
See here we can pass your 'URL' in CommandName property ,few things to keep in mind , Here we are using OnCommand event rather than OnClick event of button , so that we can use 'CommandName' property here .1. OnCommand MSDN
2. Commandname MSDN
// private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
private void button1_Click(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
string sourceUrl = Convert.tostring(e.CommandName)
// Call function to grab data pass URL as parameter.
GrabDate (sourceUrl ) ;
So now we can get the URL value from button CommandName property .

Run the button event handler before page_load

I have a table with all the objects I have in my db. I load them in my Page_Load function. I have a text field and a button that when clicking the button, I want the handler of that click to put a new object with the name written in the text field in the db.
Now, I want that what happens after the click is that the page loads again with the new item in the table. The problem is that the button event handler is run after the Page_Load function.
A solution to this would be to use IsPostBack in the Page_Load or use the pre load function. A problem is that if I would have 3 different buttons, I would have to differ between them there instead of having 3 different convenient functions.
Any solutions that don't have this problem?
Code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Session["userId"] == null)
Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
// LOAD DATA FROM DB
}
protected void CreateObject(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// SAVE THE NEW OBJECT
}
Maybe you should try loading your data during PreRender instead of Load
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.PreRender += Page_PreRender
if (Session["userId"] == null)
Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
}
protected bool reloadNeeded {get; set;}
protected void CreateObject(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// SAVE THE NEW OBJECT
reloadNeeded = true;
}
protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(reloadNeeded || !IsPostBack)
// LOAD DATA FROM DB
}
You can check the event target and do what you need then:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
string eventTarget = Page.Request.Params["__EVENTTARGET"];
if(whatever)
{
//do your logic here
}
}
}
Get control name in Page_Load event which make the post back
Use the Page_PreRenderComplete event to retrieve your table. That way your page will always have the most recent data available after all user events have fired.
Why don't you move what you have in the click event into a new method. Then call that method as the first line in your page load?
An old question but I faced the same problem in my C#/ASP.NET Website with master/content pages: a click on a link on the master page should change a query parameter for a gridview on the content page. As you stated the button click event is handled after Page_Load. But it is handled before Page_LoadComplete (see the information about ASP.NET Page Life Cycle), so you can change the page content there.
In my case I solved the problem by setting a session variable in the click event in the master page, getting this variable in the Page_LoadComplete event in the content page and doing databind based on that.
Master page:
<asp:LinkButton ID="Btn1" runat="server" OnCommand="LinkCommand" CommandArgument="1" >Action 1</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="Btn2" runat="server" OnCommand="LinkCommand" CommandArgument="2" >Action 2</asp:LinkButton>
protected void LinkCommand(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
HttpContext.Current.Session["BindInfo", e.CommandArgument.ToString());
}
Content page:
protected void Page_LoadComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string BindInfo = HttpContext.Current.Session["BindInfo"].ToString();
YourBindDataFunction(BindInfo);
}

ASP.NET: rendering content after master is already rendered

I have a button on a content page which is suppose to modify the value of a textbox on the master page. The setup is simple enough.
Content Page - Code Behind - Button Click Handler:
protected void but_mybutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string new_value = "!!";
Master.textbox_value(new_value);
}
The problem is that by the time it get to that function, the master's page is already rendered. To get the new value to display, I would need to re-fresh the page. Is there anyway to explicitly tell a page to re-render because I have changed some values on it's controls without having to re-fresh the page?
The master page renders indeed like it's a control on the page.
This blogpost shows you the full page life cycle including the events of the master page.
http://weblogs.asp.net/ricardoperes/archive/2009/03/08/asp-net-page-events-lifecycle.aspx
From the code you have provided this should work as the OnClick handler of the button gets executed before the OnPreRender of the masterpage. Can you show us the code of what
Master.textbox_value(new_value);
does?
I just tested this with the most simple setup. On the masterpage 1 label and a method that sets the text of the label.
public partial class SiteMaster : System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {}
public void SetLabelText(string text) {
this.Label1.Text = text;
}
}
On the content page a button. The onclick handler of the button calls the method on the masterpage.
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
((SiteMaster)this.Master).SetLabelText("foo");
}
}
This sets the text of the label in the same postback as expected.
You will need to review the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle to get a better understanding of how the events are firing.
Your best bet is to try setting the value on the page OnInit or LoadViewstate events.

to avoid page refresh during button click event in asp.net

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack) // If page loads for first time
{
Session["update"] = Server.UrlEncode(System.DateTime.Now.ToString()); // Assign the Session["update"] with unique value
//=============== Page load code =========================
//============== End of Page load code ===================
}
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Session["update"].ToString() == ViewState["update"].ToString()) // If page not Refreshed
{
//=============== On click event code =========================
Label1.Text = TextBox1.Text;
//lblDisplayAddedName.Text = txtName.Text;
//=============== End of On click event code ==================
// After the event/ method, again update the session
Session["update"] = Server.UrlEncode(System.DateTime.Now.ToString());
}
else // If Page Refreshed
{
// Do nothing
}
}
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
ViewState["update"] = Session["update"];
}
}
This is not working for high resolution gradient background.
Consider wrapping your button and the label in an updatepanel control, which uses AJAX to refresh their contents.
The rest of the page will not be reloaded and the action will not affect the browser navigation.
See this page on how an updatepanel control works.
Since you are handling the button click event in server side there has to be a postback to handle it.
If you do not want a post back to happen change the event handling to "client click"
//Heinzi code worked for me just made a small change in OnPreRender event, assign the ViewsState value when its not post back
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
ViewState["update"] = Session["update"];
}
}
