Yüzler

Unutmam gereken yüzler var diyorum sana

Söylenmesi gereken sözler…

Hadi onları bırak kenara

Yıkanması gereken kirlerim var,

Yakılması gereken anılarım.

Toplasan anıları bir saat etmez,

Bu ömür keşkeleri saymaya yetmez…

Uzansam dokunmak için şimdi çocukluğuma

Arada yıllar dolu engeller var…

How to fire click event of a button in ASP.NET with JavaScript

I was working on ASP.NET, had to open a confirm box in a UserControl, I achieved it after some searches on the web.I used ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript because I had UpdatePanels.That is how I called the JS function from code behind

string privateChatUyeHesapAdi = BAL.Cari.Cari.GetCariHesapAdi(i);

string jsMethodForPrivateChat = "privatechatRequestConfirmation('" + privateChatUyeHesapAdi + "')";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(UpdtPnlOzelSohbetButton, UpdtPnlOzelSohbetButton.GetType(), "confirmprivatechatrequest", jsMethodForPrivateChat, true);

And this is the JS function

function privatechatRequestConfirmation(uyeHesapAdi) {
        confirm(uyeHesapAdi + " wants to chat. ");
}

Afterwards, it turned out that I need to some stuff according to the return value of the confirmation, which is pretty normal but as a noob I couldn't guess it at the beginning, and I changed my JS function to this

function privatechatRequestConfirmation(uyeHesapAdi) {
        var isConfirmed = confirm(uyeHesapAdi + " wants to chat ");
}

Now, I have the return value in isConfirmed variable.
What I need to do is basically click a button on the UserControl.
I said to myself "I did this before, it's easy.Just get the element with client id and call click().".Tried it like this

document.getElementById('<%= BttnKickMembersForPrivateChat.ClientID %>').click();

Well, I got that JavaScript error saying "click is not defined".Damn...
I tried not using ClienID or tried OnClick = true insted of click().None of them worked.
After some researches I ended up with __doPostBack() method, actually it is like this

__doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument)

So it takes a target control and a event argument, from wiki.asp.net __doPostBack function I figured out that I can send my button name as eventTarget and OnClick as eventArgument I tried it like this

__doPostBack('BttnKickMembersForPrivateChat', 'OnClick');

Well, it didn't fire that button's onclick event then I tried

__doPostBack('BttnKickMembersForPrivateChat', 'BttnKickMembersForPrivateChat_Click');

BttnKickMembersForPrivateChat_Click is the name of onclick event on code-behind, but again it didn't fire.
Then I realized the 5th step of that link on wiki.asp.net
In the PageLoad method:

if (Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"] == "Button2")
{
        //fire event
        Button2_Click(this, new EventArgs());
}

And I added that part in my Page_Load, well I saw that I obviously do not need the click event now, "just write a method Ateş, and call that" I said to myself and I did.

In my Page_Load method

if (Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"] == "BttnKickMembersForPrivateChat")
{
        method();//just a method to do what I want
}

It works perfectly for now, when isConfirmed is true, postback occurs and Page_Load method fires, then the if condition gives me what I want.

Repeater disappears on postback

Lately I've been struggling with an ASP.NET Repeater control that holds some other controls in it which dynamically gets loadad with data.
I seemed to have one problem that whenever a postback occurs the repeater was disappearing.As much as I learned from my searches on the internet Repeater control is a dynamic control that needs to be databinded at every postback, I also learned that Page_Load is late for databinding to the repeater and it should be done in Repeater's Init method.
I really don't like these kind of controls but they are very handy in some cases, especially when you need to show dynamic or huge amount of records.In my scenario there were the categories and products at the top of the page you can add new category which is not in repeater but when add button is clicked repeater needs to be refreshed because it holds the categories list, and for deletion this is the same.

After all, I found out that my solution is about the ViewState, the repeater's EnableViewState property was set to false I turned it to true and nothing else was needed.

Here are some links I found benefitial:

Changing the language of AJAX Control Toolkit Calender Extender Control

If you are using Ajax control tool kit then you have a Script manager on your aspx file, and it probably looks like this

asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"

Well, this will let you work with Ajax controls.However your calender extender's language will probably be English.If you need to change calender extender's culture what you need to do is below
Step 1: Check if you between your <@ Page /> tag you have set Culture as you wish it to be such as Culture="tr-TR"
Step 2: Add EnableScriptGlobalization to your script manager, and set it True then you will have

asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnableScriptGlobalization="true"

This will probably work, you can also check for another ways to do this on How to change the Culture of CalendarExtender programmatically.
