Wrangling Datacontrols - Gridview With Datasource, But Using Templates?
Jan 13, 2010
As apart of my learning, I want to learn more about the data controls in asp.net.I have used the gridview in situations where it is specifically bound to an sql data source and handles updates and deletes really easily, but I have thought of something that I want to model, however am not sure which control is best to use.
The situation I have thought about is a bank statement. Most bank statements have the transaction name/details in one column, then two columns for debit and credit and then a third column for a running balance.I have read about using a footer row for insertion records, but I imagine you would not have the same about of columns in a footer (insertion) row. I.e. A transaction would not have a debit and a credit entry field, only an entry field for the amount and a dropdown for debit/credit.
Would the gridview be the best control to model this situation on? Or is there another control that would be best used? The control won't be talking to a sql datasource, but probably a datatable in the codebehind.

I am figuring out how to store html in a .txt file, open and read it with streamReader and display it on the page with a literal(s).
Now I want to integrate it with data. for example: If I want to display a list of employees called from a database, how can I marry the result with the html in the txt file.
For example; I can build a table in html <table><tr><td></td></tr></table>. But how create the correct number of rows I need or how can I fill the td with the employees name?
To check in a GridView whether a row is in Edit-Mode you use e.Row.RowState in the RowDataBound-Event. The FormView and the DetailsView have the CurrentMode-Property.

I'm having trouble retrieving the value of a cell in a gridview.

Am in the process of creating my own set of coderush templates for MVC both on the HTML side and in the code-behind. Am wondering if anyone has gone through the same process and has put them anywhere on the public domain where I could obtain them rather than "reinventing the wheel"? Otherwise will put together a list of the templates myself and post them on the public domain somewhere.
I understand that only one FormView template is rendered at any given time, so is it ever a problem to reuse child control IDs?For example, the insert and edit templates are identical in this FormView, each has a TextBox in which a user may enter their name. Would it be a problem (or a bad idea) to give both text boxes the ID "NameTextBox"?Better yet, is there a way I can create a single template that is used in both insert and edit modes? With the same code-behind, event handlers, etc? I found a forum thread somewhere that suggested creating a web user control to use in both insert and edit modes - is this typical?
I have a requirement to create several three to five page mini websites. We are creating simple folders within an existing website, i.e.: [URL]
We are testing Visual Studio 2010 and are wondering if there is a masterpage/content page template source for this requirement. All of these folder website will be administered in house, no additional user access will be needed. Essentially we would like MasterPage and Basic Content page code that can be dropped into a folder. Is there any safe source for this?
I was reading the new template features of MVC 2 in: [URL] Is it possible to redefine the Templates folder? Maybe having all templates on a folder named Templates on View root? I need to create an editor template that displays three drop down boxes, day, year and month when a DateTime property is passed in the model. But I would like to have some kind of control on the year range when calling the template. Can this be done?
How do we intall and use templates tha are on asp.net's web site? I have done the following:
Go to "%PROGRAMFILES%Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0Common7IDEProjectTemplatesCSharpWeb1033" (folder might vary since I'm using VS2010 Ultimate, but you can locate the folder easily by just looking for ProjectTemplates folder at %PROGRAMFILES%). Locate and copy the MvcWebApplicationProjectTemplatev2.0.cs.zip and EmptyMvcWebApplicationProjectTemplatev2.0.cs.zip files into "%HOMEPATH%My DocumentsVisual Studio 2010TemplatesProjectTemplatesVisual C#" If you are running Visual Studio you'll need to restart it before you can see any effects.
I also have installed n2cms_2.0_Framework and mvc 1 installed although I do not see it in VS 2010. I am running VS 2010 on Windows 7 Ultimated with SQL 2008 RC. VS and SQL are on Drive D:

I have my web form that the user enters in a boat load of data. The form also has a drop down and based on that dropdown selection I need to send a certain email. How can I create email templates and populate it from my web form? I have everything in code to grab the correct one, I'm not just not sure how to populate the template from the code behind.
I am currently evaluating the use of asp.net and MVC for a new project (vs. web part or web form pattern). While I really like the MVC pattern and the ability to abstract the code from the UI. I have a specific requiremt to create a custom control that returns data in a pre-defined format. As an example for this project I need to have data returned in a listbox control where there listboxt items contain an image and then values from the DAL. I want to have control over where the image and values from the DAL appear in the listbox control. Using WPF I have done this using Data templates. Is this possible using ASP.NET and the MVC pattern or is this only possible using a web form/ web part pattern?
Update In doing some more reading it appears that I can control how the data would be rendered in the view using markup: As an example if I have a collection (products) that returns image, name, description, price I can render this in the view by writing:
I have a content page with show part content of an article with a friendly URL address (for example):- [URL] ....
The article titles are unique in the database. My problem is I want to show it on template A which only shows a small amount of it with a hyperlink to show the full article. If I put the same url in it takes it to the same location:- [URL] ....
Is there a way of trapping the click of the hyperlink and setting some sort of parameter which I can pickup in my url rewrite routine. for example
private sub hyperlink.click
myparameter = "Template Name"
Then in my url rewrite be able to see myparameter and say load the content with the full article template.
