I have a .aspx page that loads three separate .ascx controls to represent adding, editing and listing objects.

Clicking on this will, obvio...

Hi all, I have a asp.net page with some user controls in it. One of the controls is a search form that has its results populated into a gridview. The gridview needs to have some extra columns that contain 3 LinkButtons that perform a url calculation and redirect to another page. The reason that I chose LinkButton over HyperLink is tha...
The primary reason for asking how to do this is because I personally never use it. The Designer is slow to load... especially on complex pages with lots of controls. To put it bluntly, I think of it as a crutch that web developers should avoid. I would like to encourage team members to avoid using it as well. If there is a way to do ...
In the blog comments for SO and other blogs, I've noticed a trend in some users posting what the captcha was that they had to solve to get their post accepted. Are they doing this in order to aid captcha-breaking bots? If so, is there a way to programmatically (server-side) compare the users' input to the captcha to strip it out of t...
One of the common questions asked regarding ASP.NET MVC is why should you use it over ASP.NET Web Forms? The answer generally includes ViewState and clean URLs, amongst others. Towards the end you'll find a blurb about using the right tool for the job and that they serve different purposes. However, I don't believe I've ever seen what...
I have a usercontrol in ASP.Net featuring a button that I use to postback. This button also has some Javascript validation that is done before it processes the event. Today I tried to postback to another URL by setting the PostBackURL property of the button. But it didn't work and the page kept posting back to itself. So I did some inve...
Basically is there a way to hook into when a RequiredFieldValidator does what it does? Like validator.ValidationCompleted ? Normally for script controls, you can create an expose events so that you can listen to them from other controls, and I was asked if this is possible for the build in validation controls in asp.net but couldn't co...
I'm trying to use the official jQuery autocomplete plugin with an ASMX web service in an ASP.NET 3.5 Web Forms application. If I understand it correctly, the autocomplete plugin can only use HTTP GET to call a service (with two query string parameters: q and limit). I figured out how to make the web service respond to the HTTP GET calls,...

I am porting an existing application to a DotNetNuke module and discovered bizarre behavior. I use ClientID when creating javascript so that the code can identify the HTML elements. Normally that creates a value something like this: "g_ctl00_ctl01_ctl00_ctl00_txtSearch" We've all seen this a million times, right? Well, after porting t...
I'm trying to use FindControl() to SET the values of some DropDownLists on a page. for some reason, it appears that FindControl() is returning a copy of the control object as opposed to a reference, I was under the impression that this would not be the case due to the lack of a copy constructor for Controls? <EDIT> Ok, it apparears t...
I just started using CI today.. I normally use CakePHP but a whole lot of smaller projects needed something less "bulky". What is the easiest way to implement sticky forms (retain user input after reload) in CI? I currently have a whole lot of radio buttons for multiple choice quiz and some other text fields and when validation fails...

I've seen lots of related questions, but nowhere have I found a simple example of code that passes parameters back to a page method via jquery. I've looked through some of the examples at encosia.com (thanks, Dave) but still haven't managed to get it working. Here's the code so far: Updated - added some code to pass in params, but it'...
I need to supply an html form (not a server form) for searching within an asp.net web-forms website. The form will post to another website where an indexed search is performed. Seeing as nested forms don't work well in asp.net, what is the simplest approach for this? The nested form is a simple html form that performs a "get" against ...
