RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX
On the server-side, each RadInput control uses a different property to represent its value. The following table lists the property to use to get or set the value of a RadInput control:
RadInput Control | Property | Type |
|---|
RadTextBox | Text | String |
RadNumericTextBox | ValueDbValue (in data-bound context) | IntegerNullable object |
RadDateInput | SelectedDateDbSelectedDate (in data-bound context) | DateTimeNullable object |
RadMaskedTextBox | Text TextWithLiterals TextWithPrompt TextWithPromptAndLiterals | String String String String |
RadTextBox
On the server side, the RadTextBox control uses the Text property to get or set its value. On the client-side, it uses the value property instead. The following code examples show how to read the text of one RadTextBox control called "RadTextBox2" and use it to set the text of another, "RadTextBox1".
Server-side
Copy[C#] RadTextBox server-side
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RadTextBox1.Text = RadTextBox2.Text;
}Copy[VB] RadTextBox server-side
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
RadTextBox1.Text = RadTextBox2.Text
End SubClient-side
Copy[JavaScript] RadTextBox client-side
function CopyValue()
{
var radTextBox1 = $find("<%= RadTextBox1.ClientID %>");
var radTextBox2 = $find("<%= RadTextBox2.ClientID %>");
radTextBox1.set_value(radTextBox2.get_value());
}
RadNumericTextBox
The RadNumericTextBox control uses the Value property to get or set its value. The following code examples show how to read the value of one RadNumericTextBox control called "RadNumericTextBox2" and use it to set the value of another, "RadNumericTextBox1".
Server-side
Copy[C#] RadNumericTextBox server-side
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RadNumericTextBox1.Value = RadNumericTextBox2.Value + 1;
}Copy[VB] RadNumericTextBox server-side
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
RadNumericTextBox1.Value = RadNumericTextBox2.Value + 1
End SubClient-side
Copy[JavaScript] RadNumericTextBox client-side
function CopyNumericValue()
{
var radNumericTextBox1 = $find("<%= RadNumericTextBox1.ClientID %>");
var radNumericTextBox2 = $find("<%= RadNumericTextBox2.ClientID %>");
radNumericTextBox1.set_value(radNumericTextBox2.get_value() + 1);
}
RadDateInput
The RadDateInput control uses the SelectedDate property to get or set its value. The following code examples show how to read the value of one RadDateInput control called "RadDateInput2" and use it to set the value of another, "RadDateInput1".
Server-side
Copy[C#] RadDateInput server-side
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RadDateInput1.SelectedDate = RadDateInput2.SelectedDate;
}Copy[VB] RadDateInput server-side
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
RadDateInput1.SelectedDate = RadDateInput2.SelectedDate
End SubClient-side
Copy[JavaScript] RadDateInput client-side
function CopyDateValue()
{
var radDateInput1 = $find("<%= RadDateInput1.ClientID %>");
var radDateInput2 = $find("<%= RadDateInput2.ClientID %>");
radNumericTextBox1.set_selectedDate(radNumericTextBox2.get_selectedDate());
}
RadMaskedTextBox
The RadMaskedTextBox control uses several properties to represent its value, depending on whether you want to include the literal characters from the mask and whether you want to include prompt characters where the user has not yet entered any values. In addition, the property names differ, depending on whether you are using the server-side or client-side object.
On the server side, you can only set the properties that do not include prompt characters. The server-side properties are
Text: the text the user entered into the control. This value does not include any literal characters in the mask or prompt characters.
TextWithLiterals: the text the user entered, plus any literal characters in the mask, but no prompt characters.
TextWithPrompt: the text the user entered, with prompt characters for any characters the user has not yet entered, but with none of the literal characters from the mask. This property is read only.
TextWithPromptAndLiterals: The value as it appears in the control, including the text the user entered plus any prompt characters for characters the user has not yet entered and any literal characters that come from the mask. This property is read only.
On the client side, the properties for the RadMaskedTextBox value use the name "value" rather than "Text". There is no client-side analog to the TextWithPrompt property. Only the value property (unadorned with prompts or literals) can be set. The client-side properties are
get_value, set_value: the text the user entered into the control. This value does not include any literal characters in the mask or prompt characters.
get_valueWithLiterals: the text the user entered, plus any literal characters in the mask, but no prompt characters.
get_valueWithPromptAndLiterals: the value as it appears in the control, including any prompt characters and literal characters from the mask.
The following code examples show how to read the value of one RadMaskedTextBox control called "RadMaskedTextBox2" and use it to set the value of another, "RadMaskedTextBox1".
Server-side
Copy[C#] RadMaskedTextBox server-side
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RadMaskedTextBox1.Text = RadMaskedTextBox2.Text;
}Copy[VB] RadMaskedTextBox server-side
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
RadMaskedTextBox1.Text = RadMaskedTextBox2.Text
End SubClient-side
Copy[JavaScript] RadMaskedTextBox client-side
function CopyUnMaskedValue()
{
var radMaskedTextBox1 = $find("<%= RadMaskedTextBox1.ClientID %>");
var radMaskedTextBox2 = $find("<%= RadMaskedTextBox2.ClientID %>");
radMaskedTextBox1.set_value(radMaskedTextBox2.get_value());
}
