is there a cleaner way to code this

[=?Utf-8?B?cm9kY2hhcg==?=]

hey all,

please reference: http://pastebin.com/mef78b3d

As shown in the reference I am dynamically building my controls in my class.
I'd like to be able to attach javascript calls as attributes to each of my
controls if applies.

for example,
String varString = "alert('i'm a textbox')";
txt.attributes. add("onmouseove r", varString);

now i know i can code this in each case statement but i was wondering if
there was a way to code this once and after the switch statement and do it on
whatever control is built?

thanks,
rodchar

Please do not reference external web sites. Please _do_ post your code

concise-but-complete code sample. And please _do_ write a "Subject:"
field that is reasonably descriptive of the actual question at hand.

Does this mean you're writing a web application (i.e. using the Web.UI
namespace)? If so, you should be specific about that, as that's
definitely a "special case".

for example,
String varString = "alert('i'm a textbox')";
txt.attributes. add("onmouseove r", varString);

How does a switch/case statement come into it? Wouldn't it just be an
explicit part of the initialization of the original control?

It's time for another Good Idea, Bad Idea.

Good Idea: making it easy and attractive for people to help you.
Bad Idea: insulting people who are willing to help you for criticizing.

Re: is there a cleaner way to code this

Yes, this is a web application. This code appears in my class that implements
ITemplate (InstantiateIn method) which is then loaded into my FormView
dynamically.

Bad Idea : discouraging people from seeking help by displaying an

overly critical & condescending attitude.

Peter's post wasn't condescending. He offered constructive advice on how to
get more people to help.

For example, because OE's support for external links is broken on my
workstation, I haven't checked the code in question.

If rodchar took Peter's advice he'd get more help.

There was nothing possessive, just solid information on "Hhow to post a
question that gets answered".

Define "needlessly critical". Personally, I find a person who posts a
reply to a thread in which they are otherwise uninvolved, just to post an
arbitrarily sarcastic and insulting message, to be "needlessly critical".
Does that description sound familiar to you?

On the other hand, nothing in _my_ post was critical at all. Every
suggestion was phrased as a polite request, with the intent of providing
"rodchar" with enough information for him to rephrase his question in a
way that would be most likely to solicit useful information.

Given that "rodchar" is a regular around here, I assumed that he didn't
need any more sugar-coating than that just to get the idea (in fact, he
probably needed less, but being polite is always a good idea). But even
as it was, there was no criticism.

sorry for wasting anyones bandwidth with this post.

Apology accepted.

Re: is there a cleaner way to code this

It sounds like you just want something like:

WebControl cont;
switch(somethin g) {
case 1:
SpecificControl spec = new SpecificControl ();
spec.SpecificPr operty = "blah";
// etc
cont = spec;
break;
case 2:
// etc;
cont = spec;
break;
}
cont.SomeBasePr operty = "foo";
cont.SetSomethi ng("bar");

?
