Setting a default button when using master pages

Its always the little things in life! This was pretty easy...once I found it that is.

this.Form.DefaultButton = this.ButtonControl.UniqueID.ToString();

# re: Setting a default button when using master pages

If you place your asp:Button in an asp:Panel you can set the defaultButton property of the panel to the button you desire.

This is especially handy on pages with multiple input "forms". 11/5/2007 5:32 PM | Jason Whitehorn

# re: Setting a default button when using master pages

You can set the color of the buttons in two primary ways...using CSS/inline styles, or you can use ASP.NET themes.

Inline styles could look something like this:
/*color of the background of the button*/
background-color:#ff0000;

/*font color of the button*/
color:#ff0000;

Or you can do css something like this:
<style>
.buttonStyle
{
background-color:#ff0000;
color:#ff0000;
}
</style>
<asp:Button cssclass="buttonStyle" id="etc" runat="server" text="button"></asp:Button>

Looking great! But one question why to use ToString() when UniqueId itself returns string!! 3/28/2009 3:59 AM | Ajaykumar Raju
