Okay, I had an odd thing occur today while editing one of my projects. All of the
“unrecognized tag prefix or device filter ‘asp’”
After a little searching I found a Google group post stating that:
”…building makes no difference. what does make a difference is leaving the nested master page file open in the IDE editor window…”
So, just keep your "nested" master page open & all will be well.
Okay, it's finally time for me to carry on about my newest obsession, the Google Android based group of phones scheduled to hit Verizon soon™. What was initially thought to be campaign aimed at the Motorola Droid (a.k.a. Tao/Sholes). However, it’s been recently discovered that it’s actually a full “marketing blitz” for a range of Android OS phones on “Big Red”.
Known so far:
Motorola Droid
HTC Droid Eris (re-brand of HTC Hero)
Rumored:
Motorola Calgary (Running Moto BLUR UI)
HTC Passion (Possibly the Dragon & running a Snapdragon 1GHz processor)
But that’s not of concern to me, I’ve got my eyes on the Moto Droid, it’s a wonderful bit of tech & may be enough to make me learn Java, just to be able to write apps for it!
It’s also supposed to come with this sexy dock, that turns it into an alarm clock! Woot!!!
The kicker for all of this is that it’s supposed to NOT be locked down by Verizon like all of their non-smartphone offerings.
So, needless to say, I’m really “geeking out” about this & can’t wait until tomorrow morning, when all will be revealed!
I've been playing with GridViews for quite some time & have always wondered if there's a better way of displaying the pager at the bottom, instead of the "1 2 3 ..." that you get by default.
As it worked out, I had the reason today to look more into this for a customer request. I happened to find an article that gave code to do this. It was a decent starting point, but I didn’t like how the records displayed were numbered from 0-(count-1), but it got me going.
Here’s what two options I’m considering using:<PagerTemplate>And this one has words for First/Last as well:
<asp:LinkButton CommandName="Page" CommandArgument="First" ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Style="color: white">|<</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton CommandName="Page" CommandArgument="Prev" ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" Style="color: white"><<</asp:LinkButton>
[Records <%= (Grid.PageIndex * Grid.PageSize)+1 %> - <%= Grid.PageIndex * Grid.PageSize + Grid.Rows.Count %> (<%= iTotalRecordCount %>)]
<asp:LinkButton CommandName="Page" CommandArgument="Next" ID="LinkButton3" runat="server" Style="color: white">>></asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton CommandName="Page" CommandArgument="Last" ID="LinkButton4" runat="server" Style="color: white">>|</asp:LinkButton>
</PagerTemplate>
<PagerTemplate>One caveat, I use a variable iTotalRecordCount that is defined on the code behind:
<asp:LinkButton CommandName="Page" CommandArgument="First" ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Style="color: white"><< First</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton CommandName="Page" CommandArgument="Prev" ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" Style="color: white">< Prev</asp:LinkButton>
[Records <%= (Grid.PageIndex * Grid.PageSize)+1 %> - <%= Grid.PageIndex * Grid.PageSize + Grid.Rows.Count %> (<%= iTotalRecordCount %>)]
<asp:LinkButton CommandName="Page" CommandArgument="Next" ID="LinkButton3" runat="server" Style="color: white">Next ></asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton CommandName="Page" CommandArgument="Last" ID="LinkButton4" runat="server" Style="color: white">Last >></asp:LinkButton>
</PagerTemplate>
public int iTotalRecordCount = 0;And defined in a BindGrid() method I call on button click:
iTotalRecordCount = dataTable.Rows.Count;Lastly, you need to implement the "OnPageIndexChanging" event:
protected void Grid_PageIndexChanging( object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e ) {
Grid.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
BindGrid( );
}Anyway, I hope someone out there finds this useful. :)
