I am new to creating AJAX script controls, so I need your help. I have
a simple control I want to make, that has 3 textboxes and a button.
The reason I am using AJAX is because I want to present a popup and
allow theming of the control. I also want cool loading animations and
such, without postbacks. So, I have a control that I started to make,
and I can't figure it out. The textboxes don't even show up! Tell me
the direction I need to go in because it is apparent to me that Script
Controls are MUCH different than Server Controls.
Heres the code I have so far.
public class SmokingCalc : ScriptControl
{
public SmokingCalc()
{
Render(htmlWriter);
}
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
costTextbox.RenderControl(writer);
base.Render(writer);
}
protected override IEnumerable<ScriptDescriptor>
GetScriptDescriptors()
{
ScriptControlDescriptor descriptor = new
ScriptControlDescriptor("SmokingCalc.SmokingCalc", this.ClientID);
yield return descriptor;
}
// Generate the script reference
protected override IEnumerable<ScriptReference>
GetScriptReferences()
{
yield return new ScriptReference
("SmokingCalc.SmokingCalc.js", this.GetType().Assembly.FullName);
}
protected HtmlTextWriter htmlWriter;
protected TextBox costTextbox;
protected TextBox amountTextbox;
protected TextBox yearsTextbox;
protected Button submitButton;
}
}
As you can see, my textboxes and button are created, and the
HtmlWriter is there. I override Render, and try to render the
costTextbox with the HtmlWriter passed in during default construction.
Help me out, because I am lost.
