PRB: ThreadAbortException Occurs If You Use Response.End, Response.Redirect, or Server.Transfer

Yazan: esersahin 15/04/2009

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312629/EN-US/

If you use the Response.End, Response.Redirect, or Server.Transfer method, a ThreadAbortException exception occurs. You can use a try-catch statement to catch this exception.

The Response.End method ends the page execution and shifts the execution to the Application_EndRequest event in the application’s event pipeline. The line of code that follows Response.End is not executed.

This problem occurs in the Response.Redirect and Server.Transfer methods because both methods call Response.End internally.

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

  • For Response.End, call the HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest method instead of Response.End to bypass the code execution to the Application_EndRequest event.
  • For Response.Redirect, use an overload, Response.Redirect(String url, bool endResponse) that passes false for the endResponse parameter to suppress the internal call to Response.End. For example: 
      Response.Redirect ("nextpage.aspx", false);
  • If you use this workaround, the code that follows Response.Redirect is executed.
  • For Server.Transfer, use the Server.Execute method instead.

Handling and Raising Events

Yazan: esersahin 23/03/2009

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/edzehd2t(VS.80).aspx

Events in the .NET Framework are based on the delegate model. (Those familiar with design patterns in object-oriented programming will notice the observer design pattern.) This section contains topics that describe the delegate model, show how to consume events in applications, and describe how to raise events from your class.

For details about the event syntax in a specific programming language, see the documentation for that language.

In This Section

ASP.NET 101 – Part 2: Sending event data in your custom events

Yazan: esersahin 23/03/2009

http://mats.softgear.se/post/ASPNET-101-ndash3b-Part-2-Sending-event-data-in-your-custom-events.aspx

One of the key benefits of encapsulating logic and behavior in a user control is that the user of the control doesn’t have to care about the inner workings of the control. We only need to expose the things that the users of the control needs.

We will demonstrate this by creating a simple user registration control. The control will expose an event, UserCreated, which will contain the newly created user as data.

This way the page that the user control is located in doesn’t need to care about what fields the user needs to fill out or how the person is created. It is simply handed a user that was created.

We’ll start by looking at our sample user control.

PersonEntryControl.ascx

   1: <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"

   2: CodeBehind="PersonEntryControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="PersonEntryControl" %>


   3: First name: <br />
   4: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="FirstNameTextBox" /> <br />
   5: Last name: <br />
   6: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="LastNameTextBox" /> <br />
   7: Email: <br />
   8: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="EmailTextBox" /> <br />
   9: <asp:Button runat="server" ID="AddButton" Text="Add"
  10:     onclick="AddButton_Click" />

PersonEntryControl.ascx.cs

   1: using System;
   2: namespace UserControl_Event_2
   3: {
   4:     public partial class PersonEntryControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
   5:     {
   6:         protected void AddButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   7:         {
   8:             Person newPerson = new Person()
   9:             {
  10:                 FirstName = FirstNameTextBox.Text,
  11:                 LastName = LastNameTextBox.Text,
  12:                 Email = EmailTextBox.Text
  13:             };
  14:             OnPersonCreated(new GenericEventArgs<Person>(newPerson));
  15:         }
  16:         public event EventHandler<GenericEventArgs<Person>> PersonCreated;
  17:         protected void OnPersonCreated(GenericEventArgs<Person> e)
  18:         {
  19:             if (PersonCreated != null)
  20:             {
  21:                 PersonCreated(this, e);
  22:             }
  23:         }
  24:     }
  25: }

As you can see the user control contains a button and three textboxes for first name, last name and email address.

When we click the button we create a new person and then trigger the event. If you look at the event declaration you can see that it differs from the previous example.

public event EventHandler<GenericEventArgs<Person>> PersonCreated;

We are now using a generic version of the EventHandler that allows us to specify what type the EventArgs parameter should be. Here I have created a generic EventArgs class that allows us to send any data structure along with our event.

Here is what the GenericEventArgs<T> class looks like:

GenericEventArgs.cs

   1: using System;
   2:  namespace UserControl_Event_2
   3: {
   4:     public class GenericEventArgs<T> : EventArgs
   5:     {
   6:         public T Data { get; set; }
   7:         public GenericEventArgs(T data)
   8:         {
   9:             Data = data;
  10:         }
  11:     }
  12: }

The most important thing about it is that it inherits from EventArgs, this is what allows us to use it with our event.

Now when we trigger the event from the user control we can send along the created person with the line:

OnPersonCreated(new GenericEventArgs<Person>(newPerson));

Now let’s create a page where we can try out the user control.

Default.aspx

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs"

 Inherits="UserControl_Event_2._Default" %>


<%@ Register src="PersonEntryControl.ascx" tagname="PersonEntryControl"

tagprefix="uc1" %>

        {
            StatusLabel.Text = string.Format("Created person: {0} {1}",
                e.Data.FirstName, e.Data.LastName);
        }
    }
}

As you can see in the event handler we can easily access the person with e.Data.

Download the sample and play around with it, a nice exercise is to add some validation to the user control and maybe add some more fields to the person.

ASP.NET 101 – Part 1: Communication from User control to Page in ASP.NET

Yazan: esersahin 23/03/2009

http://mats.softgear.se/post/ASPNET-101—Part-1-Communication-from-User-control-to-Page-in-ASPNET.aspx

User controls are great for encapsulating both behavior and look. When you have some UI elements that you want to use in more than one place a User control is a great way to add reusability.

One problem that you can run into is how you add communication from the user control to the web page. Perhaps you have a button in a user control, and when you click it the web page should perform some action. If the button was on the page we would simply bind to the Clicked event on the button, but when it’s inside of the user control we don’t have access to the button.

Luckily it is really easy in .NET to add your own events. In this really simple example we will create a user control with a button that also has an event, ButtonClicked. We will then create a page that contains an instance of the user control and bind to the exposed event so that the page will know when the button has been clicked.

We begin with the user control:

EventControl.ascx

   1: <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="EventControl.ascx.cs"

   2: Inherits="UserControl_Event_1.EventControl" %>


   3: <asp:Button runat="server" ID="ClickButton" Text="Click me!"
   4:     onclick="ClickButton_Click" />

EventControl.ascx.cs

   1: using System;
   2: namespace UserControl_Event_1
   3: {
   4:     public partial class EventControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
   5:     {
   6:         protected void ClickButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   7:         {
   8:             OnButtonClicked(EventArgs.Empty);
   9:         }
  10:         protected void OnButtonClicked(EventArgs e)
  11:         {
  12:             if (ButtonClicked != null)
  13:             {
  14:                 ButtonClicked(this, e);
  15:             }
  16:         }
  17:         public event EventHandler ButtonClicked;
  18:     }
  19: }

The markup doesn’t contain anything special, just a button where we’ve bound to the click event.

The code-behind file contains our event that is exposed:

public event EventHandler ButtonClicked;

When we want to trigger this event we use the method OnButtonClicked:

protected void OnButtonClicked(EventArgs e)
{
    if (ButtonClicked != null)
    {
        ButtonClicked(this, e);
    }
}

If no one has bound to the event ButtonClicked will be null so we need to check that before we trigger it.

It is common to use the naming convention used here. The event says what has happened, like Clicked. And the method we use to trigger the event is called On<Event name>, like OnClicked.

So in our click event for the button we trigger the event with the line:

OnButtonClicked(EventArgs.Empty);

In this example we won’t send any data along with the event so we can use the predefined event argument EventArgs.Empty.

You can also note that when we trigger the event we send along the object that triggered it, the first parameter to the event this. That way the page can check exactly which user control that triggered it by checking the sender argument in the event handler.

We will now create a page that will use our simple user control.

Default.aspx

   1: <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs"

   2:  Inherits="UserControl_Event_1._Default" %>


   3: <%@ Register src="EventControl.ascx" tagname="EventControl" tagprefix="uc1" %>
   4: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
   5: "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
   6: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
   7: <head runat="server">
   8:     <title>Untitled Page</title>
   9: </head>
  10: <body>
  11:     <form id="form1" runat="server">
  12:     <div>
  13:         <uc1:EventControl ID="EventControl1" runat="server" OnButtonClicked="EventControl1_ButtonClicked" />
  14:         <br />
  15:         <asp:Label runat="server" ID="MessageLabel" />
  16:     </div>
  17:     </form>
  18: </body>
  19: </html>

Default.aspx.cs

   1: using System;
   2: using System.Web.UI;
   3: namespace UserControl_Event_1
   4: {
   5:     public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
   6:     {
   7:         protected void EventControl1_ButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
   8:         {
   9:             MessageLabel.Text = "You clicked it! " + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
  10:         }
  11:     }
  12: }

You can see in Default.aspx that intellisense of our user control contains our new event. Note that the event is called On<Event name> when it is used in markup, if you look in the code behind you can see that the event really is called ButtonClicked.

We create an event handler for the event and perform some action, updating a label with a message and the time so we see that something has happened.

You can recreate the sample or download the attached .zip-file containing a complete solution. This was a real quick example, next time I’ll extend this concept and show how to send data along with the event.

Adding an Event to a User Control (Code Sample)

Yazan: esersahin 23/03/2009

http://timstall.dotnetdevelopersjournal.com/adding_an_event_to_a_user_control.htm

I had talked about how to trigger an event from a UserControl.

This ability has many benefits, such as with refactoring. For example, suppose a UserControl is hosted on many different pages, and each page requires that the control have slightly different validation that incorporates values from the host page. One way to do this is to have the UserControl call a validation method on the host page.

Here’s a code snippet you can download that shows how to have a UC call a method on its parent. The idea is to add an event member to the control, and hook it up with a delegate. (I had initially seen this technique from an article on MSDN several years ago).

This specific example has four files:

  • A UserControl – RecordNav.ascx and RecordNav.ascx.cs
  • A host page – HostRecordNav.aspx and HostRecordNav.aspx.cs

Hierarchical Tree Represented by Modified Preorder Tree Traversal Technique using C# 3.0 and SQL 2005.

Yazan: esersahin 01/02/2009

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tree/Tree_Traversal.aspx

Introduction

During my work in a (CMS) Content Management System, and in the module of Content-mapping (which is a .NET desktop application) I needed to classify my contents into a chain of categories like hierarchical tree, but I also needed to represent that tree into more than a format, such as Textual, Tabular, Nodes and Database.

I searched the web about which .NET library is going to represent my tree into the SQL2005 database. I couldn’t found that library, but I found an article (Gijs Van Tulder) is titled Storing Hierarchical Data in a Database that explains the concept of the MPTT (Modified Preorder Tree Traversal). Unfortunately, it was written for PHP developers, so, I translated the concept into C# and SQL2005 code. Moreover, I wrote some algorithms to represent trees into textual, tabular, tree view nodes and graphical format. I also used provider model techniques as a step to support various databases such as SQLite.

Finally, I gathered all these staff into one project, but, the entire classes could be easily reused and separated into class libraries, even the innovative algorithms (that I wrote) could be reused individually like the one that is written to render the graphical representation of the tree.

Now I think that I have an efficient way to add, insert, delete and retrieve tree-elements using many ways including a way for SQL2005 database with a very effective schema, which is MPTT that minimizes the number of database queries by having just one query for each activity.

What is Hierarchical Tree?

Simply, it is a structure of data that looks like a real tree, even though the hierarchical-tree is generally shown upside down compared with a real tree; that is to say with the root at the top and the leaves at the bottom, elements of that structure are related with each other by a parent-child relationship, those relationships are represented by a connecting-lines between elements and they are called “Branches”, moreover, elements that have no superior are called “ROOTs” and elements that have no children are called “Leaves”.

The following example demonstrates a textual representation for the Animal-kingdom tree:

Collapse Copy Code
Animal Kingdom
#Backbones
##Mammal
##Lungs
##Reptile
##Bird
##Gills
###Fish
###Amphibian
#No Backbones
##Starfish
##Mollusk
###Snail
###Clam
##Jointed Legs
###Insect
###Spider
###Crustacean
Collapse Copy Code
Figure 1: Hierarchical tree, textual representation.

So we have 1 root (Animal Kingdom) and 12 leaves (Mammal, Lungs, Reptile, Bird, Fish, Amphibian, Starfish, Snail, Clam, Insect, Spider, Crustacean), we have 18 lines where each line contains one tree element/node, the count of (#)s in front of the node-title represents the depth level of the element in the tree, and elements that have the same level and have the same parent are called “SIBLINGs”.

A graphical representation of such trees exist in Figure 2, where a rectangle is a symbolic representation of a node, and also a tabular representation for such trees exist in Figure 3.

16 15 Insect 28 29
17 15 Spider 30 31
18 15 Crustacean 32 33
 
Figure 3: Hierarchical tree tabular representation.

Using the Demo Project

Back to the previous section, copy the text of Figure 1, and paste it into the TextBox of the right hand side on the interface of demo project, then, press the button that is titled “<<” to convert the text into the traditional tree representation in the TreeView control in the left hand side.

Show a tabular representation of the tree by clicking the radio button that is called “Tabular,” and toggle between textual and tabular using the the other radio button that is called “Textual”.

To save the tree you just converted into SQL2005 database you should first select an existing database, but you don’t have to create any tables, just construct a working connection-string by clicking the button that is called “Connection String,” after composing the connection string, simply click the button that is called “Save” to save the tree into a table called “tblTree,” the table will be created automatically if it does not exist or is truncated if it is existing.

Of course, you could load this tree any time again from the same connection-string if you provided it correctly, just compose the connection string and click the “Load” button. However, you don’t have to enter the connection string each time you open the demo project, it saves the connection string into a file named constring.txt automatically.

Now you can enjoy showing the graphical representation of the tree by clicking the “Draw” button.

Using the Code

You simply have to create an object from the MpttCoreEngine class and call any method from its interface.

Collapse Copy Code
MpttCoreEngine engine = new MpttCoreEngine();

This class contains all the algorithms that were written to represent hierarchical trees in various formats, the following list contains the most important methods in this class.

SetConnectionString Use this function to provide a connection string to the engine
ConvertMpttIntoTree Use this function to load tree nodes from the database
ConvertTreeIntoMptt Use this function to save tree nodes to database
ConvertTextIntoTree Converts textual tree into TreeNode suitable to TreeView
ConvertTextTableIntoTree Converts tabular tree into TreeNode suitable for TreeView
ConvertTreeIntoText Converts TreeNode back to textual representation
ConvertTreeIntoTable Converts TreeNode back to tabular representation
DrawTree Draws TreeNode on an Image and returns the Image for later use

The following code is a snapshot from the demo project which demonstrates how to use those methods.

Collapse Copy Code
	private void LoadDb()
	{
	    try
	    {
	        treeView.Nodes.Clear();
	        TreeNode node = null;
	        engine.SetConnectionString(_connectionString);
	        node = engine.ConvertMpttIntoTree();
	        if (node != null)
	        {
	            treeView.Nodes.Add(node);
	            treeView.ExpandAll();
	        }
	    }
	    catch (Exception e)
	    {
	        MessageBox.Show(e.Message +
                     "\r\nThe Connection string may not be correct");
	    }
	}

	private void SaveDb()
	{
	    if (treeView.Nodes.Count <= 0)
	        return;
	    try
	    {
	        engine.SetConnectionString(_connectionString);
	        engine.ConvertTreeIntoMptt(treeView.Nodes[0]);
	    }
	    catch (Exception e)
	    {
	        MessageBox.Show(e.Message +
                     "\r\nThe Connection string may not be correct");
	    }
	}

	private void TreeReflection()
	{
	    char t = (delimiter.Text.Length > 0 ? delimiter.Text[0] : '#');
	    engine.LevelDelimiter = t;
	    //
	    treeView.Nodes.Clear();
	    TreeNode node = null;
	    if (textual.Checked)
	        node = engine.ConvertTextIntoTree(textView.Text, _delimiter, '*');
	    else//tabular
	        node = engine.ConvertTextTableIntoTree(textView.Text, true);
	    if (node != null)
	    {
	        treeView.Nodes.Add(node);
	        treeView.ExpandAll();
	    }
	}

	private void TextReflection()
	{
	    if (treeView.Nodes.Count <= 0)
	        return;
	    char t = (delimiter.Text.Length > 0 ? delimiter.Text[0] : '#');
	    engine.LevelDelimiter = t;
	    if (textual.Checked)
	    {
	        textView.Text = engine.ConvertTreeIntoText(treeView.Nodes[0], false);
	    }
	    else
	    {
	        textView.Text = engine.ConvertTreeIntoTable(treeView.Nodes[0], false);
	    }
	}

	private void btnDraw_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
	    if (treeView.Nodes.Count <= 0)
	        return;
	    Bitmap bmp = engine.DrawTree(treeView.Nodes[0]);
	    TreePreview preview = new TreePreview(bmp);
	    preview.Show();
	}

Points of Interest

The code is full of interest points, where most of them may need individual articles to explain. Here are the most important:

  1. 1- The algorithm of drawing the tree nodes is so complex, I used anonymous functions, recursion and callbacks to calculate accurate locations for the nodes. You can find that algorithm on the function DrawTree.
  2. The MPTT concept is explained in several places on the web, though, I composed that concept with a design pattern known by “provider model“, where, an abstract class called TreeProvider is created to be implemented and supports any database type like SQL2005, MySQL or SQLite.
  3. You could simply separate the core of the demo projects into a class library by copying only the folder named Core to any project you want.

Tree structures in ASP.NET and SQL Server

Introduction

Trees can be an intuitively simply way of organising large amounts of information. We’re exposed to them everywhere – from directories in file systems and categories in a web directory to hierarchies in organisations and family trees! Something like XML handles hierarchical data well, but if you’ve got a database full of data we want to associate with the tree – for example, a table full of articles – splitting our data store between XML and something like SQL Server isn’t a particularly elegant option. Unfortunately, relational SQL doesn’t make it especially easy to store these structures in such a way that we can perform useful (and efficient) operations over the trees.

This article looks at one way to represent trees in .NET – and how to map them to a table in SQL Server and back again – which should hopefully take the pain out of storing trees and manipulating them from .NET. Our aim will be to create an ASP.NET page that provides some standard “web directory” features including

  • Breadcrumbs
  • Listing sub-nodes in the current section
  • Indicating some of the children of these child nodes

whilst ensuring that we have zero limitations on the number of items in the tree, or its depth.

id (int, primary key), parentId (int), name (varchar), depth (int), lineage (varchar).

I’ve referenced many articles on the subject in order to implement the SQL Server portion of this – in particular, Maintaining Hierarchies and More Trees & Hierarchies in SQL – so many thanks to those authors. I hope this proves to be a useful extension to their discussions, rather than just a rehash of old material! Naturally, any mistakes in the implementation I show here are mine alone – but please do point them out to me.

Representing trees in .NET

To start with, its probably useful to remind ourselves what exactly a tree is (!). Each element in a tree is known as a node – each node has zero or more child nodes, and the one at the top – with no parent – is the root of the tree. .NET doesn’t currently have a built-in datatype for representing trees, but it’s fairly straightforward to to create our own. We’ll simply create a class to represent each “node” in the tree – which will consist of the following.

Property Name Data Type Description
UniqueID int A unique identifier for the node in this tree. As we’re looking to store the tree in a relational database, this maps nicely to a primary/identity key, so we’ll use an integer here. If we are creating a new TreeNode object that has not yet been associated with a unique identifier, this value will be zero.
ParentID int Used to identify the parent node of this object by storing the unique id of the parent. A parent ID of zero indicates that the node has no parent (ie it is a root node).
Name string A text value (not necessarily unique) to be associated with this node.
Children ArrayList<TreeNode> A collection of TreeNode objects that are children of this node. This will not necessarily contain all children that are in the original tree stored in our relational database – but will be populated appropriately depending on which queries we run.

The simple class shown below encapsulates this.

[Serializable]
public class TreeNode
{
    private int _uniqueID;
    private string _name;
    private int _parentID;
    private int _depth;
    private ArrayList _children;
    public TreeNode() { }
    public TreeNode(string name, int parentID) : this(0,name,parentID,-1)
    {
    }
    public TreeNode(int uniqueID, string name, int parentID, int depth)
    {
        _uniqueID = uniqueID;
        _name = name;
        _parentID = parentID;
        _depth = depth;
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets or sets the unique ID associated with this category
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>Once a non-zero ID has been set, it may not be modified.</remarks>
    public int UniqueID
    {
        get { return _uniqueID; }
        set
        {
            if (_uniqueID == 0)
                _uniqueID = value;
            else
                throw new Exception("The UniqueID property cannot be modified once it has a non-zero value");
        }
    }
    public int Depth
    {
        get { return _depth; }
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets or sets the label for this node
    /// </summary>
    public string Name
    {
        get { return _name; }
        set { _name = value; }
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// The ID of the parent node
    /// </summary>
    public int ParentID
    {
        get { return _parentID; }
        set { _parentID = value; }
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the children TreeNode objects for this category
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>In .NET 2.0, this can be modified to use generics, and have type ArrayList&lt;TreeNode></remarks>
    public ArrayList Children
    {
        get { return _children; }
        set { _children = value; }
    }
}

We’re not going to actually use this class to create standalone tree structures along the lines we would if were were adding elements to, say, a TreeView control. The TreeNode’s will be used to represent what we have stored in the database as a tree. However, if we want to add a TreeNode to the structure, the request is going to be made directly to the database – and the change will be reflected in a future request on the state of the tree structure. Likewise, if we modify the Name or ParentId of a TreeNode object, we’ll need to tell the database that we’ve made this change.

Highlight the active textbox in ASP.NET Web forms

Yazan: esersahin 22/01/2009

http://www.dotnet2themax.com/showcontent.aspx?id=00fa0fd6-4970-4ddf-aa6b-335c3d1259be

When your data entry Web forms contain several textboxes, highlighting the textbox that has the input focus can significantly improve the user’s experience. This technique is especially effective if your layout doesn’t make immediately clear what the tab order sequence is. For example, if you have multiple columns of textboxes, are they ordered horizontally or vertically? With a few lines of client-side JavaScript code you can easily change the background and foreground color of the active textbox, and thus give immediate feedback about the field that receives the user input. DHTML makes it possible to change the HTML elements’ style (font, colors, position) by means of the control’s style property and its sub-properties. The following HTML code renders a textbox control that handles the onfocus client-side event to change its background and foreground colors, and the onblur event to restore the original colors when the control loses the focus:

<input name="txtFirstName" type="text"
	id="txtFirstName"
	onfocus= "this.style.backgroundColor='Yellow'; this.style.color = 'Blue';"
	onblur="this.style.backgroundColor='Window'; this.style.color='WindowText';"
/>

Let’s see how you can dynamically add highlighting support to all ASP.NET server-side controls, instead of hard-coding it manually. All controls that inherit from WebControl have an Attributes collection to which you can add one or more attributename=value pairs; at render-time these pairs are embedded in the standard HTML code that the control generates. The listing below shows the VB.NET and C# methods that dynamically build a piece of JavaScript code that changes the backcolor/forecolor to the specified colors:

Sub SetInputControlColors(ByVal ctl As _
   WebControl, ByVal backColor As Color, _
   ByVal foreColor As Color, _
   ByVal focusBackColor As Color, _
   ByVal focusForeColor As Color)

   Dim jsOnFocus As String = String.Format( _
      "this.style.backgroundColor = '{0}';" _
      & "this.style.color = '{1}';", _
      focusBackColor.Name, focusForeColor.Name)
   Dim jsOnBlur As String = String.Format( _
      "this.style.backgroundColor = '{0}';" _
      & "this.style.color = '{1}';", _
      backColor.Name, foreColor.Name)
   ctl.Attributes.Add("onfocus", jsOnFocus)
   ctl.Attributes.Add("onblur", jsOnBlur)
End Sub



void SetInputControlColors(WebControl ctl,
   Color backColor, Color foreColor,
   Color focusBackColor,  Color focusForeColor)
{
   string jsOnFocus = string.Format(
      "this.style.backgroundColor = '{0}';" +
      "this.style.color = '{1}';",
      focusBackColor.Name, focusForeColor.Name);
   string jsOnBlur = string.Format(
      "this.style.backgroundColor = '{0}';" +
      "this.style.color = '{1}';",
      backColor.Name, foreColor.Name);
   ctl.Attributes.Add("onfocus", jsOnFocus);
   ctl.Attributes.Add("onblur", jsOnBlur);
}

Using the SetInputControlColors method is trivial:

SetInputControlColors(txtFirstName, _
   SystemColors.Window, _
   SystemColors.WindowText, _
   Color.Yellow, Color.Blue)



SetInputControlColors(txtFirstName,
   SystemColors.Window,
   SystemColors.WindowText,
   Color.Yellow, Color.Blue);

Instead of manually calling SetInputControlColors for all the input controls on the form, you can use the SetAllInputControlsColors method shown below to change the onfocus/onblur styles for all the TextBox, ListBox and DropDownList controls in the form.

Sub SetAllInputControlsColors(ByVal parent As _
   Control, ByVal backColor As Color, _
   ByVal foreColor As Color, _
   ByVal focusBackColor As Color, _
   ByVal focusForeColor As Color)

   For Each ctl As Control In parent.Controls
      If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox OrElse _
         TypeOf ctl Is ListBox OrElse _
         TypeOf ctl Is DropDownList Then
         SetInputControlColors(DirectCast( _
            ctl, WebControl), _
            backColor, foreColor, _
            focusBackColor, _
            focusForeColor)
      Else
         SetAllInputControlsColors(ctl, _
            backColor, foreColor, _
            focusBackColor, _
            focusForeColor)
      End If
   Next
End Sub



void SetAllInputControlsColors(Control parent,
   Color backColor, Color foreColor,
   Color focusBackColor,  Color focusForeColor)
{
   foreach (Control ctl in parent.Controls)
   {
      if (ctl is TextBox || ctl is ListBox ||
         ctl is DropDownList)
      {
         SetInputControlColors(
            ctl as WebControl, backColor,
            foreColor, focusBackColor,
            focusForeColor);
      }
      else
      {
         SetAllInputControlsColors(ctl,
            backColor, foreColor,
            focusBackColor,
            focusForeColor);
      }
   }
}

This method is recursive and affects also the controls nested in control containers. All you need to do now is putting the following code in the handler of the Page.Load event:

SetAllInputControlsColors(Me, _
   SystemColors.Window, SystemColors.WindowText, _
   Color.Yellow, Color.Blue)



SetAllInputControlsColors(this,
   SystemColors.Window, SystemColors.WindowText,
   Color.Yellow, Color.Blue);

The figures below show the result in Internet Explorer.

Using client-side JavaScript isn’t the only technique you can adopt to change the style of the active control. In fact, the approach just described works well only if the form contains a small number of fields. When the form has many controls, the amount of JavaScript generated for each control bloats the page’s size and indirectly slows down its rendering. In such cases it is recommended that you define the normal and focus style by means of a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) class in a separate stylesheet file, and write a shorter JavaScript code that just sets the control’s className property when the control gets or loses the focus. Say that you define the following class in a .css file:

.ActiveInputControl
{
	background-color: Red;
	color: Yellow;
	font-weight: bold;
}

You can call the SetAllInputControlsClassName method (defined at the end of the article) as shown here:

SetAllInputControlsClassName(Me, "", _
   "ActiveInputControl")



SetAllInputControlsClassName(this, "",
   "ActiveInputControl");

And the resulting HTML for a single control would be as follows:

<input name="txtFirstName" type="text" id="txtFirstName"
	onfocus="this.className = 'ActiveInputControl';"
	onblur="this.className = '';"
/>

(Notice that when the control does not have the focus it just has no specific style class, and therefore it has the default style.) Not only is this technique faster when a form contains many fields, it is also more easily maintainable, because you can later change the focus style by simply providing a different CSS, without recompiling the ASP.NET application.

Sub SetInputControlClassName(ByVal ctl As _
   WebControl, ByVal className As String, _
   ByVal focusClassName As String)
   Dim jsOnFocus As String = String.Format( _
      "this.className = '{0}';", focusClassName)
   Dim jsOnBlur As String = String.Format( _
      "this.className = '{0}';", className)
   ctl.Attributes.Add("onfocus", jsOnFocus)
   ctl.Attributes.Add("onblur", jsOnBlur)
End Sub

Sub SetAllInputControlsClassName(ByVal parent _
   As Control, ByVal className As String, _
   ByVal focusClassName As String)
   For Each ctl As Control In parent.Controls
      If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox OrElse _
         TypeOf ctl Is ListBox OrElse TypeOf
         ctl Is DropDownList Then
         SetInputControlClassName( _
            DirectCast(ctl, WebControl),_
            className, focusClassName)
      Else
         SetAllInputControlsClassName(ctl, _
            className, focusClassName)
      End If
   Next
End Sub



void SetInputControlClassName(WebControl ctl,
   string className, string focusClassName)
{
   string jsOnFocus = String.Format(
      "this.className = '{0}';", focusClassName);
   string jsOnBlur = String.Format(
      "this.className = '{0}';", className);
   ctl.Attributes.Add("onfocus", jsOnFocus);
   ctl.Attributes.Add("onblur", jsOnBlur);
}

void SetAllInputControlsClassName(Control parent,
   string className, string focusClassName)
{
   foreach (Control ctl in parent.Controls)
   {
      if (ctl is TextBox || ctl is ListBox ||
         ctl is DropDownList)
      {
         SetInputControlClassName(
            ctl as WebControl,
            className, focusClassName);
      }
      else
      {
         SetAllInputControlsClassName(ctl,
            className, focusClassName);
      }

   }
}
