MultiView Class

Definition

Represents a control that acts as a container for a group of View controls.

public ref class MultiView : System::Web::UI::Control
public class MultiView : System.Web.UI.Control
type MultiView = class
    inherit Control
Public Class MultiView
Inherits Control
Inheritance
MultiView

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a MultiView control to create a basic survey. Each View control is a separate survey question. When the user clicks the Previous button on any page, the ActiveViewIndex property is decremented to navigate to the previous View control. When the user clicks the Next button on any page, the ActiveViewIndex property is incremented to navigate to the next View control.

Note

The following code samples use the single-file code model and may not work correctly if copied directly into a code-behind file. This code sample must be copied into an empty text file that has an .aspx extension. For more information on the Web Forms code model, see ASP.NET Web Forms Page Code Model.

The following code example demonstrates how to create a basic MultiView control that contains three View controls. The view that the user selects from the list box is set to the active view and displayed to the user. For a more detailed example of the MultiView control, see the other code examples provided in this topic.

The following code example demonstrates how to create a MultiView control that contains three View controls. A View control does not have any style properties. Therefore, each View control contains a Panel control to allow styles to be set on the View control. The first time the page is loaded, the DefaultView is set as the active view using the SetActiveView method. Each View control contains link buttons to allow the user to navigate to different views.

Introduction

The MultiView control is a container for a group of View controls. It allows you to define a group of View controls, where each View control contains child controls. Your application can then render a specific View control to the client based on criteria such as user identity, user preferences, and information passed in a query-string parameter. You can also use the MultiView control to create wizards. In this scenario, each View control contained in a MultiView control represents a different step or page in the wizard. You should also use this control to develop multiple-screen applications for mobile devices. This control provides the same functionality as the ASP.NET mobile Form control in .NET Framework version 1.1.

Only one View control at a time can be defined as the active view within a MultiView control. When a View control is defined as the active view, the child controls that it contains are rendered to the client. You can use either the ActiveViewIndex property or the SetActiveView method to define the active view. If the ActiveViewIndex property is empty, the MultiView control does not render any content to the client. If the active view is set to a View that does not exist within the MultiView control, an ArgumentOutOfRangeException is raised at run time.

You can define the active view declaratively or programmatically. Setting the ActiveViewIndex property declaratively when you define the MultiView control causes the View control that is set as the active view to render to the client the first time the MultiView control is called. The following code example demonstrates how to set the ActiveViewIndex property declaratively.

<asp:MultiView id="MultiView1" ActiveViewIndex=0 runat="Server">   

Setting the ActiveViewIndex property programmatically, or calling the SetActiveView method, allows the application to determine which View control to render to the client at run time based on criteria such as a user's identity or preferences.

To allow users to navigate between View controls within a MultiView control, you can add a LinkButton or Button control to each View control. To take advantage of the MultiView control's automatic updating of the currently active View, set the CommandName property on the button or link button to the value of one of the following command-name fields that corresponds to the desired navigation behavior: PreviousViewCommandName, NextViewCommandName, SwitchViewByIDCommandName, or SwitchViewByIndexCommandName.
