Pattern at one Location

Hi Naimish

 Can we write the code other than Web.Config file.

Thanks

To centralize the pattern and title attributes for your textboxes, you can define them in a single location and reference them in your ASPX pages. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Define the Pattern and Title in Web.config

Add the pattern and title as app settings in your Web.config file.

Step 2: Create a Helper Method in Code-Behind

Create a helper method in your base page or a utility class to retrieve these settings.

public static class Utility
{
    public static string GetTextBoxPattern()
    {
        return System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["TextBoxPattern"];
    }

    public static string GetTextBoxTitle()
    {
        return System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["TextBoxTitle"];
    }
}

Step 3: Use the Helper Method in Your ASPX Pages

Use the helper method to set the pattern and title attributes in your ASPX pages.

<%@ Import Namespace="YourProjectNamespace" %>


    

        Department Name *
        
    


    

        Short Name
        
    

Step 4: Implement SweetAlert for Validation Messages

To display validation messages using SweetAlert, you can use JavaScript to check the validity of the textboxes and show the alert.

This setup ensures that any changes to the pattern or title are reflected across all your ASPX pages, and SweetAlert is used to display validation messages.

Alternatively, if you want to handle this purely on the client-side without creating a server-side control, you can use JavaScript to apply the attributes dynamically

Add JavaScript to Set Attributes:

Custom Control Approach

1. Create a User Control:

   • Right-click on your project and add a new User Control, e.g., CustomTextBox.ascx

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CustomTextBox.ascx.cs" Inherits="YourNamespace.CustomTextBox" %>

 Code Behind for User Control

in the code-behind file, CustomTextBox.ascx.cs

using System;

namespace YourNamespace
{
    public partial class CustomTextBox : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            txtBox.Attributes["pattern"] = "[a-zA-Z\\s\\.]*";
            txtBox.Attributes["title"] = "Valid characters: Alphabets/Space & . (Dot)";
        }

        public string Text
        {
            get { return txtBox.Text; }
            set { txtBox.Text = value; }
        }

        public string Placeholder
        {
            get { return txtBox.Attributes["placeholder"]; }
            set { txtBox.Attributes["placeholder"] = value; }
        }

        public int MinLength
        {
            get { return int.Parse(txtBox.Attributes["minlength"]); }
            set { txtBox.Attributes["minlength"] = value.ToString(); }
        }

        public int MaxLength
        {
            get { return int.Parse(txtBox.Attributes["maxlength"]); }
            set { txtBox.Attributes["maxlength"] = value.ToString(); }
        }

        public bool Required
        {
            get { return txtBox.Attributes["required"] != null; }
            set { txtBox.Attributes["required"] = value ? "true" : null; }
        }
    }
}

Use the User Control in ASPX Pages:

• Register the control in your ASPX page and use it.

<%@ Register Src="~/CustomTextBox.ascx" TagPrefix="uc" TagName="CustomTextBox" %>
