Questions on UI for ASP.NET AJAX Forum

I have a form that is currently in Infopath, which we are trying to change to a web application. This form has an upload control in it where people can save related documents to this form for users to edit and manipulate, which persist to other users.

Currently I am not seeing how to change this to a web application, but I have some ideas. I really just need help determining if my idea would #1 work, and #2 be the best way to handle this.

I was thinking of re-creating the form exactly as it is in Infopath. I thought about using the async uploader to upload the files to a UNC share, and then on the "edit" form template have a repeater that shows a hyperlink to the forms location. Therefore people could manipulate the form, re-save it from their client application (word, excel, etc...), and then other users would see the updates. However I am not sure if this is the best approach. We utilize SQL as our backend, and wouldn't care to upload the document to SQL, but I don't even know if that is possible.

What do you all think, would this way work with shared directories? Would you rather have the user save the "attachments" to the network share, and then have the uploader just record the path so that the repeater can display the links? <- Is that even possible? Any other ideas? I am completely open as my primary job is not programming, but due to the company dynamics I am writing applications to help re-work antiquated systems.

Excel like filtering search + select all

I'm wondering if there is some way to change behavior of the excel like filtering. When the user clicks 'select all' after typing in a search string the filter selects all instead of selecting all of the search matches.

This is confusing to users (and me) as this is different from excel filter behavior.

Can this behavior be changed somehow?

MaskedTextBox with AutoComplete Functionality

Hi, I want to show Suggention List with MaskedTextBox at Client Side. I have achieved this using JQuery UI Plugin by storing items in cookie and escaping underscore(_) and hyphen (-) in searching. Below is the code

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default2.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default2" %>

                while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') c = c.substring(1);
                if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
            }
            return "";
        }
        function add() {
            var x = document.getElementById('TextBox1').value.replace(/_/g, "").replace("-","");
            if (arr.indexOf(x) == -1) {
                arr.unshift(x)
                if (arr.length > 5) {
                    arr.pop();

Don't want to display a value of zero on a label, when the value is actually NULL.

Hi,

We are using version 2014.3.1024.40 of you ASP.NET for AJAX controls. I am creating an HTMLChart with a couple of ColumnSeries.

Some of the values for the data, are actually NULL. Yet the Labels for those are displaying as zero (0).

In the world of data, we all know that an empty value (NULL) is totally different than 0... Empty or NULL just means I haven't entered it yet, where zero would indicate to the user that a value of zero has actually been entered. Displaying zero instead of nothing, is totally different and misleading.

So is there a property or setting that will NOT display a value of zero for data points that are NULL?

If not, is there an area where I can vote for this feature?

Thanks,
Michael

Solution - AjaxControlToolKit alongside Telerik

I've seen a few different posts about this, but they are mostly outdated and didn't resolve my issue. I put together some simple steps we took to make it work.

We had a project that originally used the AjaxControlToolkit on some pages. All new development used Telerik controls. There were issues performing Ajax operations despite the AjaxControlToolkit not even being registered on a page. This was the only fix I could find.

- Remove the existing AjaxControlToolkit reference from the project and delete the AjaxControlToolkit.DLL from the bin directory on the remote server (if it exists)
- Remove any AjaxControlToolkit assembly registrations at the top of the page markup (if they exist)
- Install the AjaxControlToolkit via the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (update the tag prefix as needed)
- In the MasterPage markup, disable combining scripts in the RadScriptManager
<telerik:RadScriptManager runat="server" ID="RadScriptManager1" EnableScriptCombine="false"></telerik:RadScriptManager>

I hope this helps someone else down the road. A better solution is to replace the AjaxControlToolkit controls with Telerik controls, but this gets us by until we make time to do that.

Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd unhandled exception

I am upgrading Telerik RadControls for ASP.Net Ajax to v2013.2.611.45. Runtime version is v4.0.30319
