Hi I have a listview inside a DIV which shows the scroll bars. At one time, let's say, 10 rows can be seen. I scroll down and click Edit on 25 row. To my surprise, the scroll goes to the first row (although if I go back to 25th row, the row is in edit mode) My issue, how I can make sure that the scroll bar maintains its position to 25th row after clicking on Edit button? Please advise. Thanks AJ

<style>
.StopScroll1{
Z-INDEX: 20; POSITION: relative;left:-1px; TOP: expression(document.getElementById("divGrid1").scrollTop);
}
</style>

<div id="div1" style="position: relative; width: 100%; width: 700px; height: 200px;
margin: 0px; padding: 0px; overflow: auto; overflow-x: scroll; overflow-y: scroll">
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server
OnSorting="Sorting"
OnItemEditing=" EditList"

<LayoutTemplate>
<table class="TableReleative TableFH" style="width: 97.5%;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
runat="server" id="tblGrid">

Hi I ran into a strange issue. I am able to put gridview inside asp:panel and scrolling works too. But the moment I down, the header of gridView scrolls above inside the panel and gets hidden. I just want to scroll rows, not the header. How can I do that? Please advise. Following is what I am using. On a side note, I have tried to wrap gridView in DIV but div doesn’t show the scroll bars in the first load for some reason. Thanks

<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" ScrollBars="Both" Height="200" Width="60%">
<asp:GridView ID="GvBidLists" AllowSorting="true" AllowPaging="false" runat="server"
AutoGenerateEditButton="true" DataKeyNames="ListId" EmptyDataText="No data available."
AutoGenerateColumns="False" >
<EditRowStyle BackColor="skyblue" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="LightSteelBlue" ForeColor="#0000C0" Height="20px" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<RowStyle Height="20px" VerticalAlign="Middle" />
<FooterStyle BorderColor="White" Height="20px" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="ListId" DataField="ListId" SortExpression="ListId" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="ListName" DataField="ListName" SortExpression="ListName" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="ProductTypeName" DataField="ProductTypeName" SortExpression="ProductTypeName" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Size" DataField="Size" SortExpression="Size" />

Hi I know that we can add the Validator.ValidateProperty call inside the buisness object and decorate it as [Required] like as follows. Reference : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nagasatish/archive/2009/03/22/datagrid-validation.aspx

    \[Required\]
    public string FirstName
    {
        get { return firstName; }
        set
        {
            if (value != firstName)
            {
                Validator.ValidateProperty(value, new ValidationContext(this, null, null) { MemberName = "FirstName" });
                firstName = value;
                NotifyPropertyChanged("FirstName");
            }
        }
    }

My problem with this approach is that auto generated classes do not contain any validation logic inside them. I am generating the classes from an xsd (XSD2Code utility) and have to use these DTOs because all layers are utilizing them. Silverlight->WCF->Business layer->Data Access layer : All using common DTO classes My questions are : 1. How can I incorporate validations for datagrid entry fields without adding them into plain classes? 2. Is there a way that I can add all these rules in xsd and have them written out inside classes? Please advise. Thanks AJ

Hi I have a page which holds a custom webcontrol and a usercontrol. I need to reference of webcontrol in usercontrol class. So, I make the declaration of webcontrol as public in page class. But, when I do “this.Page.”, I don’t see the webcontrol listed in list provided by intellisense. Most probably, I am missing something. In an asp.net page, how to get a reference of a custom webcontrol from a usercontrol? Please advise. Thanks Pankaj

Hi I am building a library of asp.net user controls which I am deriving from a custom UserControlBase class which further derives from actual UserControl class. Hierarchy looks like this : ASCX -> UserControlBase : UserControl I have this requirement to put a border around all the ASCX's. So, I thought if I can modify UserControlBase it will apply to all ASCXs. I tried following code in Page_Load of UserCOntrolBase but its not working

this.Attributes.Add("style", "border-color:#FFFF66;border-width:4px;border-style:Dashed;");

What should I do to make it work? Please advise. Thanks AJ

Usually, such system have default assigned port. You can probably find that info in the documentation... Look in configuration section. If firewall team does not allow to open that port, you can try different ports. HTH
