An annoying behavior of Visual Studio (2008)'s designer is to duplicate any property of a control, which is set inside the control's constructor code to the InitializeComponent() method of the hosting form. For example, if I create a new user control and write the following line in its Ctor: this.Text = "Hard Coded Name"; then this sa...
I have a curious problem with a .net usercontrol which is probably some page lifecycle issue that I've missed, but I'd be grateful for some advice. The control has a "showContributor" boolean property which is supposed to turn some columns in the display on or off. It consists of a repeater control containing other custom usercontrols t...

I've got an ASP.NET 3.5 Web Forms application in which a large chunk of code needs to be duplicated between a few different pages. Sounds like the ideal candidate for a user-control right? Problem is, this cannot be contained within a <form runat="server"> because it contains a client-side form of it's own. There are no runat=server co...
So, I'm working with the following assembly, which has the following defined (fairly harmless): public class QueryDefinition { private List<QueryFilter> TheCurrentFilters = null; public List<QueryFilter> CurrentFilters { set { TheCurrentFilters = value; } get { return TheCurrentFilters; } } // other...
Is it possible to create a custom button -- web user control? I want certain java scripts to trigger when buttons are clicked. If so, are there any articles out there that explain the basics?

Hey, I need to create a user control in C#.Net, which can be added to the application without being visible - just like the FolderBrowserDialog. It's a new window which I'll be using often so I think this is the right way. The window will be opened by envoking the showDialog-Method as known from the other dialog. Any Idea? Thanks and r...

I am developing SharePoint Web Parts for MOSS 2007 on Visual Studio 2008. Up until now, I've been adding all my controls by hand to the code behind... but an earlier post suggested I could use the designer to create an ASP.NET User Control, then add it to the webpart, and everything is happy... See figure 5 for an example. However, I c...
