Raising Events

-
In Default.aspx I have a user control (<WI:editBOM runat="server" id="ctlEdit" />)  I want to refresh  the ctlEdit dropdownlist when another control fires (BOM.ascx)
 
So in DEFAULT.aspx I add this sub

Private Sub ctlNew_drpBOM_Change() Handles ctlNew.drpBOM_Change
ctlEdit.drpbomChange()
End Sub

In the EDITBOM.ASCX file I add this subroutine essentially rebinding the dropdownlist

Public Sub drpbomChange()

drpBOM.DataSource = VendorBid_Data.itemAttributesvb.getValidBOMStyles()
drpBOM.DataBind()
drpBOM.Items.Insert(0,

"Choose Style")

End Sub

In the BOM.ASCX file I declare the event and raise the event:

Public Event drpBOM_Change()

I raise the event at the point I want to fire it....

RaiseEvent drpBOM_Change()

Thus we have a page that holds two controls - when one dropdownlist or event fires then the other control dropdownlist is refreshed.  This enables me to load up my controls on the page but if circumstances change and the dropdownlist on one needs to be refreshed then I have control over that single page event.

Grouping with Data Entities

I am really loving the data entity in my new projects but have come across a couple of issues already. Tonight I learned about using a field that is not a part of your database and not in the entity but is a consolidation field from a group.  Once I found some good samples it worked incredibly well and I had a little summary grid on the page in just a couple of minutes.  So here is what I did  using (myEntityName context = new myEntityName())     { //First I declared a couple of variables because I was looking at data between specific dates          DateTime startdate = DateTime.Parse("2014-02-01");             DateTime enddate = DateTime.Parse("2014-02-01");          var dbRecords = (from c in context.myTableName                           where (c.MemberStartDate >= startdate && c.MemberStart...

Sticky Footer made simple

-
CSS Footers are simple but people tend to overthink them.  Here is how it works You have two pieces A container that all your other stuff is in A footer that you want to always stay at the bottom of the page In Blazor I put this container on my content pages and not my host page because I didn't want my left hand nav to be involved <div class="container"> All my content </div> <footer> Centered footer content </footer> And the CSS .container {     width:100%;     padding: 0 15px; } footer {     font-size: 12px; (you could also use a vw value here)     padding-top:20px;     background-color: #xxx;     color: #fff;     margin: auto;     height: 60px;     width: 100%;     position: sticky; //absolute;     bottom: 0;     text-align: center; }
