Hallo,

I need to create WebControl, that stores List of Hyperlinks.
I have problem in design-time.
When I add an hyperlinks, they are rendered in contents, hyperlinks are
vsible on page.
In case I switch into source and then back into design, the control says:

Error Creating Control - WebNavigation1
'cc1:WebNavigation' could not be set on property 'Hyperlinks'.

Im wrong, but I dont know where. Could you help me? Source is bellow.

Hi Mirek,

Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
From you description, you're developing a custom web server control (in
asp.net 2.0) which contains a collection property and you found that the
control always throw out "could not be set on property" error when
swtiching between HTML view and design-view in VS.NET IDE(2005) , YES?

Based on my experience, this problem is caused by our Collection property's
declaration. For Collection property in .NET Custom Control, we can only
provide getter accessor for it, in other world it should be defined as
readonly. Like:
===========
public List<HyperLink> Hyperlinks
{

get
{

if ( _Hyperlinks == null )

_Hyperlinks = new List<HyperLink> ();

return _Hyperlinks;

}

//no setter needed

}
==============

For Collection property, we just need to add/remove items from it, do not
need to modify the Collection reference itself. Also, we can find that
those collection property in ASP.NET buildin controls are just defined as
readonly(Getter only...). So you can remove the setter accessor in your
control's Hyperlinks property.

Hope helps. Thanks,

No, it is not working. I will try to explain it again.
What I need
------------------------------------------------------
I need to create my own Web Server Control.
This control will contain a count of HyperLink controls.
I need this control has design-time support:
- I will add hyperlinks by design-time property toolbox.
- This properties (including hyperlinks) will be stored and will be
editable (add/remove)
whole design time by property toolbox.
- This control and its style will be displayed in design-time on the web
page


My control was able to edit hyperlinks, by property toolbox (collection
editor)
in designtime, but I can only add the HyperLinks but the second time
I open the property collection editor, the hyperlinks are gone.
Thats because they arent stored.

I think, that the control must working by this way:
- in case HyperLinks are edited (added, removed) they must be
parsed from/to the page (or into the control) in design time.
I was able (but not now) to parse them to page in design time, but not FROM
page
into property toolbox (collection editor)

Well, and now, what I did
--------------------------------------
public class WebNavigationDesigner : ControlDesigner
{
public override string GetDesignTimeHtml()
{
WebNavigation wNavigation = (WebNavigation)Component;
StringWriter sWriter = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(sWriter);
foreach(HyperLink hyperlink in wNavigation.Hyperlinks)
hyperlink.RenderControl(htWriter);

return sWriter.ToString();
}
}

[DefaultProperty("Hyperlinks")]
[ToolboxData("<{0}:WebNavigation runat=server></{0}:WebNavigation>")]
[Designer("WebNavigationDesigner", "WebNavigation")]
[ParseChildren(true, "Hyperlinks")]
public class WebNavigation : WebControl
{
private List<HyperLink> _Hyperlinks = null;

protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
foreach(HyperLink hLink in _Hyperlinks)
hLink.RenderControl(output);
}
[Bindable(true)]
[Category("Data")]
[Editor(typeof(List<HyperLink>), typeof(UITypeEditor))]
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializat ionVisibility.Content)]
[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerDefaultProper ty)]
public List<HyperLink> Hyperlinks
{
get
{
if(_Hyperlinks == null)
_Hyperlinks = new List<HyperLink>();
return _Hyperlinks;
}
}
}

================================================== ============
Thats simplified problem, please help me to get this simple
control to life.

Thanks

Mirek

Hey Mirek,

Thanks for getting back to me.
I've just add your code to my VS.NET 2005 IDE and seems it report error
when I just drag this control onto a form. Here the two things I found in
the code you pasted:


1. I think we should put some checking code to ensure that the collection
is not empty. like:
if (_Hyperlinks != null && _Hyperlinks.Count > 0)
{ ....}else{...}


2. Why do you put the following Attribute on the HyperLinks property?

[Editor(typeof(List<HyperLink>), typeof(UITypeEditor))]

Since HyperLink is buildin control types, the IDE can correctly use the
property edit for it. Also, even if you use it, you should assign a valid
Control Editor's typename rather than

typeof(List<HyperLink> (this is a Class type , not Editor type....)


After adjusting the above two things, here is the final code I got working
correctly on myside. I can drag the control from ToolBox onto webform.
Then, Edit the "HyperLinks" collection through property Grid( a Collection
Editor) , and I can add /remove HyperLinks in the Collection and apply
styles to each of the HyperLinks in the Collection. In addition, when I
switch between DesignView and Html View, I can see the HyperLinnks has been
persisted in HTML correctly. e.g:

=================
<cc1:WebNavigation ID="WebNavigation1" runat="server"
Hyperlinks-Capacity="4">
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" BackColor="Blue"
BorderColor="#FFFF80" BorderStyle="Solid"
BorderWidth="1px" ForeColor="Fuchsia"
NavigateUrl="sdfsfdsfdsfdsfdsfsdfd"
>HyperLink1</asp:HyperLink>
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" NavigateUrl="sdfdsfdsfdsfsd"
BackColor="Black" ForeColor="White" BorderStyle="Solid"
BorderWidth="1px"
BorderColor="Yellow">HyperLink2</asp:HyperLink>
<asp:HyperLink runat="server"
NavigateUrl="fdsfdsfdf">HyperLink3</asp:HyperLink>
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" NavigateUrl="fdsfsdfsdfsf"
BackColor="#FFFFC0" BorderColor="Purple" BorderStyle="Dashed"
BorderWidth="2px" ForeColor="Navy">HyperLink4</asp:HyperLink>
</cc1:WebNavigation>
====================


Here is the modified code, you can have a try on your side. If you still
get any problem on working on it at runtime or design-time, I think we have
to do some further throubleshooting on environment specific issue. BTW, I'm
using VS.NET 2005 Professional edition RTM.


===============================================
namespace CustomControl
{
public class WebNavigationDesigner : ControlDesigner
{
public override string GetDesignTimeHtml()
{
WebNavigation wNavigation = (WebNavigation)Component;

if (wNavigation.Hyperlinks != null &&
wNavigation.Hyperlinks.Count > 0)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
StringWriter sWriter = new StringWriter(sb);
HtmlTextWriter htWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(sWriter);
foreach (HyperLink hyperlink in wNavigation.Hyperlinks)
hyperlink.RenderControl(htWriter);

return sWriter.ToString();
}
else
{
return "<font size='30'>Empty Collection.</font>";
}
}
}

[DefaultProperty("Hyperlinks")]
[ToolboxData("<{0}:WebNavigation runat=server></{0}:WebNavigation>")]
[Designer("WebNavigationDesigner", "WebNavigation")]
[ParseChildren(true, "Hyperlinks")]
public class WebNavigation : WebControl
{
private List<HyperLink> _Hyperlinks = null;

protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
if (_Hyperlinks != null && _Hyperlinks.Count > 0)
{
foreach (HyperLink hLink in _Hyperlinks)
hLink.RenderControl(output);
}
else
{
Label lbl = new Label();
lbl.ID = "lblMessage";
lbl.Text = "Empty Collection.";
lbl.RenderControl(output);
}
}
[Bindable(true)]
[Category("Data")]

[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializat ionVisibility.Content)]
[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerDefaultProper ty)]
public List<HyperLink> Hyperlinks
{
get
{
if (_Hyperlinks == null)
_Hyperlinks = new List<HyperLink>();

return _Hyperlinks;
}
}
}
}

| No, it is not working. I will try to explain it again.
| What I need
| ------------------------------------------------------
| I need to create my own Web Server Control.
| This control will contain a count of HyperLink controls.
| I need this control has design-time support:
| - I will add hyperlinks by design-time property toolbox.
| - This properties (including hyperlinks) will be stored and will be
| editable (add/remove)
| whole design time by property toolbox.
| - This control and its style will be displayed in design-time on the web
| page
|
|
| My control was able to edit hyperlinks, by property toolbox (collection
| editor)
| in designtime, but I can only add the HyperLinks but the second time
| I open the property collection editor, the hyperlinks are gone.
| Thats because they arent stored.
|
| I think, that the control must working by this way:
| - in case HyperLinks are edited (added, removed) they must be
| parsed from/to the page (or into the control) in design time.
| I was able (but not now) to parse them to page in design time, but not
FROM
| page
| into property toolbox (collection editor)
|
| Well, and now, what I did
| --------------------------------------
| public class WebNavigationDesigner : ControlDesigner
| {
| public override string GetDesignTimeHtml()
| {
| WebNavigation wNavigation = (WebNavigation)Component;
| StringWriter sWriter = new StringWriter();
| HtmlTextWriter htWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(sWriter);
| foreach(HyperLink hyperlink in wNavigation.Hyperlinks)
| hyperlink.RenderControl(htWriter);
|
| return sWriter.ToString();
| }
| }
|
| [DefaultProperty("Hyperlinks")]
| [ToolboxData("<{0}:WebNavigation runat=server></{0}:WebNavigation>")]
| [Designer("WebNavigationDesigner", "WebNavigation")]
| [ParseChildren(true, "Hyperlinks")]
| public class WebNavigation : WebControl
| {
| private List<HyperLink> _Hyperlinks = null;
|
| protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output)
| {
| foreach(HyperLink hLink in _Hyperlinks)
| hLink.RenderControl(output);
| }
| [Bindable(true)]
| [Category("Data")]
| [Editor(typeof(List<HyperLink>), typeof(UITypeEditor))]
|
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializat ionVisibility.Content)]
| [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerDefaultProper ty)]
| public List<HyperLink> Hyperlinks
| {
| get
| {
| if(_Hyperlinks == null)
| _Hyperlinks = new List<HyperLink>();
| return _Hyperlinks;
| }
| }
| }
|
| ================================================== ============
| Thats simplified problem, please help me to get this simple
| control to life.
|
| Thanks
