ASP.Net - Change CssClass Property of a Button Based on Logic Behind












0















I have a timer that ticks every 30 seconds and checks for records retrieved by a stored procedure. There are 3 options; either no results so don't show a button, there are results and at least one of them is an "emergency" so show the "emergency button", or there are results with no emergencies so show the "standard button."



I have two CSS classes that both work on their own but I can't seem to get the CssClass property of the asp:Button to change in my VB.Net code, any help? I've tried multiple things, below is a mock-version my most recent attempt.



If results.Count > 0 And blnEmergency = True Then
btnTicketAlert.Attributes.Remove("CssClass")
btnTicketAlert.Attributes.Add("CssClass", "EmergencyButton")
btnTicketAlert.Visible = True
ElseIf results.Count > 0 And blnEmergency = False Then
btnTicketAlert.Attributes.Remove("CssClass")
btnTicketAlert.Attributes.Add("CssClass", "TicketButton")
btnTicketAlert.Visible = True
Else
btnTicketAlert.Visible = False
End If


I believe that IF this is indeed the way to do it, I am simply missing the part where the change is pushed back to the server. If that's the case I do not know what is needed to do that.



Thanks for the help.

          btnTicketAlert.Attributes.Add("CssClass", "TicketButton")


          doesn't work for me though.



          btnTicketAlert.Attributes.Remove("class")
          btnTicketAlert.Attributes.Add("class", "TicketButton")


          works instead.



          Anyways, you probably already checked but in case if there's no issue on your code behind the how about your placement of timer/button, (such in case you're using update panels)

          • Just got into work and tried switching "CssClass" to "Class" and it worked for me, not sure what I did wrong the first time because I swore i tried it. Nonetheless thanks for helping me out!
