Installing "Atlas" in Windows Vista RC1

I just tried installing Atlas on Windows Vista RC1. When it gets to the installing templates part, it errors out, but completes the rest of the installation. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how to correct it?? It's not really a problem, just kind of annoying.

Thanks,

Matt

Me too.

The template of C# cannot be installed though the template of VB can be installed. I want to know the method of evading this problem.

Thanks,

hello.

well, i did this:

1. go to c:\widows

2. run explorer.exe as an administrator

3. in the new explorer window which opens, go to the installation folder and run the installer.

This did not seem to work. It did the exact same thing that happened the last time.

I have the same problem here ... this is very strange!!!!

the Atlas instalation say that need to register an extention in the IIS, but we don't need to have the IIS to develop with VS2005. That must be the problem.

Hope this helps.

I was able to get it installed by turning off UAC (user access control).

Instantiate Accordion content

Hi,

I have an accordion with some panes that have custom controls in their content templates.

The accordion is NOT databound ... the contents are static, though viewstate is helping keep track of the values in the custom controls.

When the page is created for the very first time, NOT postback, the accordion panes do not instantiate the user controls until sometime during the OnPreRender stage in the lifecycle.

On subsequent postbacks however, the accordion panes do instantiate their controls during the LoadState stage, due to their presence in ViewState.

How can I make the accordion panes instantiate their content templates earlier than OnPreRender when the page is created for the first time?

The accordion pane's content templates are not dynamic. They are coded into the page markup.

I have tried calling something like Accordion.Panes[0].Content.InstantiateIn(Accordion.Panes[0]) and various combinations at various stages, but I usually ended up just getting duplicate versions of the controls in the wrong places in the page!

I could not find any "EnsureControls()" methods available in the accordion.

Many thanks in advance for your helpful suggestions,

Ben

Hi,
Accordion.Panes[0].FindControl('nothing') will make pane 0 to instantiate its templates. FindControl is an indirect way to call EnsureChildControls.

Yuriy! Thank you so much! I'm relieved!

Is it normal not see controls within a ReorderList?

I can't access any of my controls or their properties that are within my ReorderList Templates. Is this a normal behaviour for the ReorderList or I am I doing something wrong?

I tried .FindControl() and it doesn't seem to find them either.

Heres the markup for the reorderlist.

Please recall that each controls' ClientID will be prefixed with a parent control ID... namely "ReorderList1__rliX_"

where X is the line item number of the list item. They will be prefixed more depending on how many parent controls they are in.

How are you trying to find them? Obviously specifying "RadioButtonList1" , for example, simply won't work.

It would be useful to know what control you are trying to access, and during what event.

In the code behind I am trying to grab the textbox value for example.

so something like this

private void btnSave_Click(object sender,EventArgs e)

{

string notes = txtNotes.Text

//Insert notes into Data Table

}

Error 1 The name 'txtNotes' does not exist in the current context.

And something like this

string

s = ((TextBox)ReorderList1.FindControl("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ReorderList1__rliInsert_txtNotes")).Text

comes back cant find the control.

Try this:

First of all btnSave_Click should be a protected method, not private.

code:

 
1protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)2{3TextBox tb = (TextBox)ReorderList1.FindControl("_rliInsert").FindControl("txtNotes");4String s = tb.Text;5}
 I hope this helps! (Please mark my post as the solution if this works for you)

Thank you that works!

Just wondering if there is a better way than hardcoding all the control names.

Not that I know of. You can also do it by index (I don't know if these are the actual indexes of your controls).

1protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)2{3TextBox tb = (TextBox)ReorderList1.Controls[4].Controls[2];4String s = tb.Text;5} 

It seems more reliable to me to use the name since the addition of a single control could throw off all your indexes.
