Up Down Extender

 

In this article, I will show you step by step procedure, how to use a Up Down Extender

 In ASP.NET using Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008.

 

The use of Up Down Extender it that you are not require to type any number of character you have to just select from the up down button…it will change dynamically when you click the button,


To follow this code sample, you must use Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008.

I have used <! –    –>  to comment HTML part of the code.

Note:
Up Down Extender is a part of AjaxControlToolkit.
To attach right click on the toolbox under Ajax Extensions and select Choose Items - > Browse Button - > select the AjaxControlToolkit.dll. If you are using Visual Studio 2008, you may not need AJAX Toolkit but if you are using Visual Studio 2005, you will need to download it from
http://www.msdn.com/ or http://www.asp.net/.

Step 1. Start -> All Programs -> Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008

Step 2. Now go to File Menu -> New -> Web Site

Step 3. 

Under Visual Studio Installed Template-> Choose ASP.NET WEB SITE -> Choose File System from the location combo box -> Set the path by the browse button - > Choose the language from the Language ComboBox (Visual C# , Visual Basic , J #)

Choose Visual C#

Step 4. Click on the OK Button.

This is the source code window and in this page you will se this code.

 

<%@ Page Language=”C#” AutoEventWireup=”true”  CodeFile=”Default.aspx.cs” Inherits=”_Default” %>

<title>Type your webpage title here</title>  <!– Here you can specify your page title in between title tag ->

Step 5. Click on this tab and you will see a blank web page where you can drag any control from the toolbox (which is in the left side of this window).

Step 6. Now drag some controls under the AJAX Extensions.

First control you are going to drag and drop on the page is - Script Manager.

first add a tag on the top of your source code window:

<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="cc1" %>

Under the form tag,

        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" /> 

     

       <cc1:NumericUpDownExtender ID="NumericUpDownExtender1" runat="server"    

                   TargetControlID="Textbox1" Width="150" Step="1" Minimum="1" Maximum="100">

       </cc1:NumericUpDownExtender>

 

       <cc1:NumericUpDownExtender ID="NumericUpDownExtender2" runat="server" Step="1"
