How to call coordinates of “beacon” from c# code to .aspx code to show it in mouseover-tooltip when...












0














There is a big hall with machines inside. Near those machines, there are toolboxes, gear, etc. "beacons" which are tracked. All of this is displayed in a web app.
The c# code seems to know what coordinates those beacons have.
What I would like to accomplish is that these coordinates are displayed in the tooltip when you hover over the tooltip.



ASP.NET



<asp:Panel ID="DivBeacon" class=beacon runat="server" style="position:absolute;left:100px;top:100px;" >
<span class="tooltip" data-tooltip="attr"></span>
<div class="beacon-caption" >
<asp:Literal runat="server" id="LitBeacon" EnableViewState="false" >Beacon</asp:Literal>
</div>
</asp:Panel>


C#



private void ShowBeacon()
{
TableRow tableRowsBeacon = new TableRow
{
new TableRow(),
new TableRow(),
};

string x= Beacon.Properties.FirstOrDefault(p => (p.Name == "posx")).Value;
string y= Beacon.Properties.FirstOrDefault(p => (p.Name == "posy")).Value;
this.DivBeacon.Attributes.CssStyle["left"] = x+"px";
this.DivBeacon.Attributes.CssStyle["top"] = y+"px";

if ((this.Beacon != null) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.Beacon.Name))
{
LitBeacon.Text = Beacon.Name + string.Format("<br/>{0:0.##}","(" + x + ", " + y + ")");
}


Unfortunately, I am unable to write it syntactically right, as the asp.net part refuses to show anything different than just text in between the "..." after "data-tooltip".



EDIT: I don't know how to clarify this more besides posting the whole code, which is quite long and I am pretty sure I am not allowed to.



The pure .css tooltip
.css



.tooltip {
color: lightsteelblue;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: help;}

[data-tooltip] {
position: relative;}

[data-tooltip]::after {
content: attr(data-tooltip);
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity 0.5s;
display: block;
position: absolute;
bottom: 3.5em;
left: -0.75em;
width: 5em;
padding: 0.5em;
z-index: 100;
color: #000;
background-color: lightsteelblue;
border: solid 1.5px black;
border-radius: 0.5em;
}


is working, if you put some static text in it, but I can't find a way to link this to c# code.



I just have put the coordinates into the description text of beacon, it shows them there but that produces another problem: it shows too many decimals, I want just 2, but I can not use Math functions since although the coordinates are numbers it is getting them as string values from the server.



What I need is a working tooltip with coordinates in it or coordinates showing in the description of beacon

  • do the data attributes on your button work? if so you can use them to make a pure css tooltip

  • this is actually the problem, they do not work. the tooltip is pure css. How do I link that data attributes correctly, I didn't find anything good about this on the internet.
