Text box losing most recent Text value

It's me and my registration page again. I have a subroutine that calculates
the total fees the registrant will incur and puts it in a textbox (not a
label because it has to be passed to another page).

txtTotalFees.Text = Format(dblTotalFees, "Currency")

The subroutine works fine IF I call it from PageLoad, or I assign it to a
button for recalculating the total fees, or the user clicks the Reset
button, or if they click a control that has AutoPostback set to true.
Basically anything that loads or postbacks the page.

BUT...When it comes time to submit the page and go to the next page I have
this code:

If IsValid Then
CalcFees() 'recalcs fees and updates textbox
Server.Transfer("Confirmation.aspx", True)
End If

When the user gets to the next page I put the total fees in another textbox.
EXCEPT it isn't updated to most recent total. I know because I can comment
out the "Server.Transfer" so that it stays at the registration page AND THE
CORRECT TOTAL IS DISPLAYED!?!?!

What is it about the Server.Transfer that "forgets" what the value of the
textbox should be?

Ken "BiggMakk" McCroryHi Ken

Try this:
Server.Transfer("Confirmation.aspx", True)
This sets the parameter preserveForm to true, hence preserving any
variables still available.

You can then retrieve the value from your previous page on the
Confirmation.aspx page by using Request.Form("totalFees")

Hope that helps :)

Thanks for the try but I am already using the True to preserve variables.
(See original post. It's there.)

Ah, sorry. I didn't notice it in your code at first glance.

Here's a helpful page from MSDN about preserving state between pages.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...etweenPages.asp

Hope that helps.
I solved this by using SmartNavigation and turning on Autopostback for every
control that can affect the total fees. Before someone says SmartNav doesn't
work in browsers other than IE, you're right. Someone else in a different
post of mine pointed out Smart Scroller by Strength Technologies at this web
site:

http://www.strengthtechnologies.com...l/Download.aspx

It works even in Firefox.

Now the Total fees gets updated before the user hits the Submit button and
the correct value gets passed to the next page. It also removes the need for
the manual "Recalculate Fees" button that I had on the page.

Text Box Loses Value On Page Load

Hi Folks...this is a wierd issue I've noticed and wanted to know of a) anyon
e
else has noticed this and b) if so, why does it happen.
On page load, I have a text box named me.txtMemberName. I enter data into
this field then submit the page. If I check the value of
me.txtMemberName.text during the page load event, it is an empty string. Now
,
if I check this again in a later event, the value of .text has the correct
inforamation in it. This is causing me grief b/c, since this is a required
field, Page.IsValid is failing on page load. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
ClayFirst of all, I am assuming you have EnableViewState=True for this Control,
as well as for the Page. Second, can you post your Page.Load procedure so we
can see exactly what you do there and how you do it? This may help me and
others help you solve your problem. Thanks.

Text box on same line as Radio Buttons

Using ASP.Net1.0
How can I get "Type of degree" and the following text box on the same line
as the radio buttons for "CollegeCompleted"?
I have tried <div style="float:left">, which works well for me in other
areas, but not in this case.
<HR>
College Name <span style="margin-left:162px;">
City/State <br>
<asp:TextBox id="College" columns = "35" runat=server/>
<asp:TextBox id="CollegeCity" columns = "35" runat=server/>
<br>Last Year Completed
<asp:RadioButtonList id="CollegeCompleted" RepeatDirection="horizontal"
Runat=server>
<asp:ListItem><font size="2"> 1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem><font size="2">2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem><font size="2">3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem><font size="2">4</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem><font size="2">5</asp:ListItem>

Hi dancer,
You should add RepeatLayout="Flow" to RadioButtonList:
<asp:RadioButtonList id="CollegeCompleted"
RepeatDirection="horizontal"
Runat=server RepeatLayout="Flow">
<asp:ListItem><font size="2"> 1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem><font size="2">2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem><font size="2">3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem><font size="2">4</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem><font size="2">5</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
Type of Degree: <asp:TextBox id="DegreeCollege" runat=server/>

Text Box Problem

Hello,
I have a master page where my form has the Runat="server".
The master page as a control place holder, named "cphContent".
Then in a page which inherits from the master page I added a custom
control which I created.
This custom control is added to "cphContent" at runtime.
The custom control creates and adds 2 textboxes using
CreateChildControls.
I am getting an error:
System.Web.HttpException: Control 'ctl00_cphContent_by27cf_tbName' of
type 'TextBox' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.
I have no idea why do I get this error.
The form with Runat="server" is in the master page.
Anyway, can someone tell me how can I figure what is going on?
Thanks,
MiguelHere is my code.
I am adding and creating all controls at runtime in my pages.

This is a bug of Visual Studio. A problem is that in content page you don't
have form

The controls are not being added between the form tags. Add a placeholder to the masterpage and add your controls (panel/contentholder) to that, instead of the page.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="fBase" runat="server">
<asp:PlaceHolder id="ControlHolder" runat="server"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

In this line

pContent.Controls.Add(cphContent)

What and/or where is "pContent"? It isn't entirely clear where you're getting it from.

It should be pContainer and not pContent.

It was a mistake when coping it to here. I just copied parts of the code to give an idea

shapper:

Base.master:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="fBase" runat="server"></form>
</body>
</html
Base.master.vb:

Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Init

Dim pContainer As New Panel
AddHandler pContainer.Init, AddressOf pContainer_Init
Me.Controls.Add(pContainer)

Dim cphContent As New ContentPlaceHolder
AddHandler cphContent.Init, AddressOf cphContent_Init
pContent.Controls.Add(cphContent)

End Sub

In the Page_Init above, you are adding a Panel to thepage, but not to theform. Therefore, cphContent is not in the form. And when you add the custom control to cphContent, then obviously that's not in the form either.

Text box reading old value

Hi i am trying to create a simple page that would allow users to edit there infromation that is stored on them,

It loads the information from the database fine and puts it into the textbox's but then on the "update" button it doesnt get the changed values

e.g

if the textbox was set on the page load to "bren" and then i changed it on the page to be "Hello" when i execute the onlclick function of the button it still reads as "bren"

Thanks for your help in advance

Dan

your update_click is happening after the page_load. try changing the code you have in page_load to page_prerender and see if you are good to go.

i have treid to user it with IsPostBack but it doesnt work,

i didnt think that Page_load was re run when u clicked on a button and ran the function

Dan

Fixed it now thanks changed it to a !IsPostBack and it now works thanks
