Hi!

I developed my own MultiValueControl for Team Webaccess and ran into a problem. As I wanted the same experience as the VS version of this control (a dropdown with checkboxes) I used some jQuery plugin.

Now everything works fine except that I cannot get the plugin to work within WebAccess. I inject the jQuery library but I get the error that it does not exist.

I already postet this issue on stackoverflow.com.

Please take a look at it, as I would love to send you my full code to integrate the control into this open source library if you like!! I just want that wonderful control to work.

The url to the thread is: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4704639/customcontrol-for-team-webaccess-jquery-doesnt-work

If you'd like the code please contact me per email and I send you everything I have :)

PLEASE HELP!!

Hi!

I managed to finish my custom control. On stackoverflow I posted the solution to my problem. I do not know whether it is the best one, but it works.

If anyone is interested in this control being integrated into this open source library please contact me and I will give you the code and setup files.

There is only one little "bug" left which is that the css styles do not look perfect on web access. It would be nice if a css specialist could check that out or someone may give me a link or the name of a good tool which enables "html gui debugging" concerning css styles?

Very interested. Could you send me a way to download your control?

Hey allenfeinberg!

You can download the full code from my skydrive:

"https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=7f3cbb45213a5b15&id=7F3CBB45213A5B15%21187#"

It's the "WitCustomControls.Web.zip" file! (please note the trailing # in the link above!)

Sorry about the delay - I was on holiday. :)

Hope it's not too late!

Hi gentledepp,

I am trying to use the multivaluecontrol in TSWA 2010. I downloaded your control and tried to use it. The control is not saving the values in TSWA 2010 and also the size is not perfect. Could you please help me with this.......

Thanks,

ginjala.

Hi ginjala.

I must admit that I've not been working with this for a while so I might not remember everything.

My first advice: Follow THE VERY SAME installstion steps of the offline MultivalueControl of this codeplex project:

http://witcustomcontrols.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Multivalue%20control&referringTitle=Home

I guess that the values you provide for choice are not enclosed in "[" "]", right? ;-)

Hi gentledepp,

Thank you much for your reply.

Actually I am enclosing the choices in "[" "]". Also am able to see the choices in TSWA-2010.

If I use Visual Studio 2010 to create a work item with multi-value custom control, it works fine. I can select more than one value from the list-items combo box. And when I open this work item in TSWA-2010, I can see all the selected list-items in that control. This works fine.

Problem1:

But if I use TSWA-2010 to create a work item with multi-value custom control, I can select more than one list-items from that combo-box, and when I save the work item and re-open it, it shows that only one of the selected list-items is saved.

Problem2:

I am unable to resize the control in TSWA-2010.

Could you plz help me with this.

Thanks & Regards,

ginjala.

Hi gentledepp,

Thanks a lot for your response.

I tried every thing that I can. Still having the same issue. Could you please share your code, if it is any different from the one I have.

Thanks,

ginjala.

Would love to have the code shared as well.

Thanks,

Allen.

I'm seeing the same issue (#1) as ginjala.  I pulled the relevant code out of MultiValueControl.cs into another asp.net web site, and it worked without issue.  I haven't figured out what's causing the problem with TFS Web Access, but I have found out some info using fiddler.  When posting from a regular asp.net web site, the control shows multiple entries in fiddler with the correct values.  When posting from TFS Web Access, the select control has the correct number of selections, but they all have the value of the first selected item.  For instance, if I had selected 5 items, fiddler is showing the five inputs being posted, but they all have the value assigned to the first selection.

Hi pisanic.  I am too experiencing the same issue with the control in TSWA.   I'm debugging as well.  I will post if I find a resolution.  Please do the same.

I found a solution. It seems that ListBox does not support more than one item being set to true, even though SelectionMode being set to Multiple. So CheckboxList.Items has only set .Selected of the first selected Item set to true. So checkedItems.Count will always be 1. Maybe it would work by adding property "MultiColumn = true;" in line 125.

I fixed it by changing to CheckBoxList by decommenting line 124 and commenting line 125.

I am trying to use the MultiValue Control in a TFS 2010 environment, however, we will upgrade to TFS 2012 in 8 - 10 weeks. It looks like it is pretty easy to deploy this in Team Web Access 2012. I am trying to find an EASY way to deploy the MultiValue Control to Team Web Access 2010. Is that possible? I do not have time to deal with everything outlined here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsworkitemtracking/thread/3e515ba9-6837-4740-861b-2279416ed729?prof=required.

Is there an easier way to deploy this to Team Web Access 2010 or do I need to wait until our envieonment has been upgraded to TFS 2012?

Thanks!

Dave
