Hi, I am migrating from 11.1 to 13.2 and I have a page that have plenty of controls, among them, WebTabs with WebExplorerBars that have DataGrids inside and other asp controls.
For example, here's one WebExplorerBar:
<ignav:WebExplorerBar CssClass="panelBackground" ID="wpExpensesCodes" Height="275px" Width="645px" runat="server"><Templates>
<igtbl:WebDataGrid ShowHeader="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false" ID="uwgRelationsExpensesCodes" runat="server" Width="643px" Height="220px"><Columns><igtbl:BoundDataField Key="ExpenseId" DataFieldName="ExpenseId" Hidden="true"></igtbl:BoundDataField><igtbl:BoundDataField Key="Name" DataFieldName="Name" Width="530px"><Header Text="Name"></Header></igtbl:BoundDataField><igtbl:BoundDataField CssClass="cellGridStyle" Key="MenuPosition" DataType="System.Int16" DataFieldName="MenuPosition"Width="90px"><Header Text="Menu Position"></Header></igtbl:BoundDataField></Columns><Behaviors><igtbl:RowSelectors Enabled="false"></igtbl:RowSelectors><igtbl:Selection CellClickAction="Row" CellSelectType="Single"></igtbl:Selection><igtbl:ColumnFixing Enabled="true"></igtbl:ColumnFixing><igtbl:EditingCore><Behaviors><igtbl:RowAdding Enabled="true"></igtbl:RowAdding><igtbl:CellEditing><ColumnSettings><igtbl:EditingColumnSetting ColumnKey="MenuPosition" ReadOnly="false" /><igtbl:EditingColumnSetting ColumnKey="ExpenseId" ReadOnly="true" /><igtbl:EditingColumnSetting ColumnKey="Name" ReadOnly="true" /></ColumnSettings></igtbl:CellEditing></Behaviors></igtbl:EditingCore></Behaviors></igtbl:WebDataGrid><div style="height: 5px;"></div><asp:DropDownList ID="cmbRelationsExpensesCodes" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList><asp:Button ID="btnRelationsExpensesCodesAdd" OnClick="btnRelationsExpensesCodesAdd_Click"Text="Add" Width="80px" runat="server" /><asp:Button ID="btnRelationsExpensesCodesDelete" OnClick="btnRelationsExpensesCodesDelete_Click"Text="Remove" Width="80px" runat="server" /></Templates></ignav:WebExplorerBar>
And I access its controls in the code-behind, and it's compiling perfectly
but once I launch the application I am getting this error:
Infragistics.Web.UI.ItemTemplateCollection must have items of type 'Infragistics.Web.UI.ItemTemplate'. 'igtbl:WebDataGrid' is of type 'Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.WebDataGrid'.
STEP 2:
taking that error into consideration, I tried adding the ItemTemplate like this:
<ig:ItemTemplate> <Template>
<igtbl:WebDataGrid ShowHeader="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false" ID="uwgRelationsExpensesCodes" runat="server" Width="643px" Height="220px"><Columns><igtbl:BoundDataField Key="ExpenseId" DataFieldName="ExpenseId" Hidden="true"></igtbl:BoundDataField><igtbl:BoundDataField Key="Name" DataFieldName="Name" Width="530px"><Header Text="Name"></Header></igtbl:BoundDataField><igtbl:BoundDataField CssClass="cellGridStyle" Key="MenuPosition" DataType="System.Int16" DataFieldName="MenuPosition"Width="90px"><Header Text="Menu Position"></Header></igtbl:BoundDataField></Columns><Behaviors><igtbl:RowSelectors Enabled="false"></igtbl:RowSelectors><igtbl:Selection CellClickAction="Row" CellSelectType="Single"></igtbl:Selection><igtbl:ColumnFixing Enabled="true"></igtbl:ColumnFixing><igtbl:EditingCore><Behaviors><igtbl:RowAdding Enabled="true"></igtbl:RowAdding><igtbl:CellEditing><ColumnSettings><igtbl:EditingColumnSetting ColumnKey="MenuPosition" ReadOnly="false" /><igtbl:EditingColumnSetting ColumnKey="ExpenseId" ReadOnly="true" /><igtbl:EditingColumnSetting ColumnKey="Name" ReadOnly="true" /></ColumnSettings></igtbl:CellEditing></Behaviors></igtbl:EditingCore></Behaviors></igtbl:WebDataGrid><div style="height: 5px;"></div><asp:DropDownList ID="cmbRelationsExpensesCodes" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList><asp:Button ID="btnRelationsExpensesCodesAdd" OnClick="btnRelationsExpensesCodesAdd_Click"Text="Add" Width="80px" runat="server" /><asp:Button ID="btnRelationsExpensesCodesDelete" OnClick="btnRelationsExpensesCodesDelete_Click"Text="Remove" Width="80px" runat="server" />
</Template></ig:ItemTemplate>
</Templates></ignav:WebExplorerBar>
but now my application is not compiling because I can't find the controls within this WebExplorer, for instance "cmbRelationsExpensesCodes"
what am I doing wrong?
than you!
Hello Nicole,
The step 2 is the right way to add a template inside the WebExplorerBar, but you cannot access the controls inside the template using the ID. To access the webdatagrid inside the webexplorerbar use the following code
WebDataGrid wdd = (WebDataGrid)this.WebExplorerBar2.Groups[0].Items[0].FindControl("WebDataGrid1") ;
Please let me know if you have any questions
