Add Support For Fields To Databound Controls?
Feb 17, 2010
For example when using a gridview. When you specify the columns
BoundField for example won't work if you are binding it to a field instead of a property.
I guess this is so because when the gridview is looking for the DataField property it looks for a property and not a field. Now the question is how can i change this behavior to make it possible to use fields. I know i have to inherit from the gridview, but i don't know where to go from there.

I am using TempleteFields for all columns in my GridView. In that columns I am using only some fields for customization but not all.
Is there any performance issue with Databound Fields vs Templete Fields in a GridView...?
Do I need to replace the remaining columns with Databound Columns instead of TempletField columns...?

I need a form that displays three columns drawn directly from a database (no problems here) as well as two fields that require some complex calculations. Not only am I lost as to how to incorporate the calculations into the control, I don't know exactly how to write the calculations. I am working in Visual Web Developer 2008 with Vb.NET.
The first of the two fields should take the sum of all payments made by a given customer and divide it by a DailyMembershipRate, returning a DaysPaid variable. It should take this variable and a CustomerSince field for that particular customer and calculate a PaidThrough field.
The second of the two columns similarly requires the DaysPaid variable described above. It should subtract the CustomerSince field from the current date and return the value in days, giving a MembershipDays variable. Finally, it should subtract MembershipDays from the DaysPaid variable, again returning a value in days, and then multiply this by the DailyRate value for a Credit/Deficit field.
I realize this is a lot, but I haven't been able to find any documentation either online or in VWD or ASP.NET texts on this topic. I could really use some fellow user input.

I want to render something like this (with ASP.Net Controls in the codebehind):
<ul>
<li class="first"><h1>This is a caption</h1></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo1</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo3</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo4</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li class="first"><h1>This is a another caption</h1></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo5</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo6</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo7</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo8</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo9</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo10</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo11</a></li>
</ul>
The amount of li elements that will be rendered into each ul is determined at runtime. Each link in a li belongs to into a specific ul (the one containing a specific caption. Imagine this as a kind of a treeview with nodes and subnodes) During the bind Event I need access to an ASP:HyperLink that will be rendered into the a-element. Which databound ASP.Net control should I pick for this? Looks like a repeater in a repeater, which should make the databinding process ugly. I'm thinking about creating this HTML-Output with StringWriters myself.

i have a FormView, and i already have a Label control that gets the value of theselected propery inside the FormView, so each time the FormView displays data, i have a Label control that displays individual values, according to the value of the FormView, here is the code:
[code]....
What i would like to do is to know how i could add a DataList instead of a Label, and then each time the FormView databinds an item, to show the value of the DataList How would i go about doing that?

I have a GridView, and I want Column1 to be equal to datatable data (filled by a SqlDataAdapter). Then I have two other fields by the SqlDataAdapter (first name, last name), and I want to have those two fields combined to form Column2. I have a TemplateField for my GridView that combines the first name and last name with Eval()'s, but the GridView places this combined field TemplateField and puts it as the first column.
How can I do this so that TemplateField can go in between fields that are databound?

I have a sql data souce that returns several columns of data, and they are displayed in a DetailsView on a pretty simple vb.net page. I'm stuggling with one field though for the details view.
It's a template field, and if ClientType=1 (this value is determined else where on the page), then the label in the template field should have Text='<%# Bind("ClientName") %>', but if the ClientType = 0, then the label in the template field should have Text='<%# Bind("ClientTemporaryName") %>'
How do I tell the details view to set the text for ClientName to one or the other?

I have a relatively complex dataset (numerous tables, some with multiple records) generated from reading in an XML file. I need to connect said dataset fields to an ASP form. At the moment I'm assigning them manually, like so in the pageload:
txt_first_init.Text = formData.ds.Tables["phrmHdrKey"].Rows[0]["first_init"].ToString();
txt_last_name.Text = formData.ds.Tables["phrmHdrKey"].Rows[0]["last_name"].ToString();
ddl_pregnancy_flag.SelectedValue = formData.ds.Tables["pPhrm"].Rows[0]["pregnancy_flag"].ToString();
And conversely when it's time to submit.
formData.ds.Tables["phrmHdrKey"].Rows[0]["first_init"] = txt_first_init.Text;
formData.ds.Tables["phrmHdrKey"].Rows[0]["last_name"] = txt_last_name.Text;
formData.ds.Tables["pPhrm"].Rows[0]["pregnancy_flag"] = ddl_pregnancy_flag.SelectedValue.ToString();
I did some looking into binding the textboxes (and dropdownlists, and checkboxes, and and and...) directly, but it seemed to be too many formats to use.
So this works fine, but as the number of fields increases, those load and unload lists are going to get unwieldy.

I am working on Crystal Reports 8.5 and SQL Server 2000 as backend. I have a stored procedure which has been added to the Crystal Report. So that fields are visible in the Fields object section from where i can drag and drop the fields on the report and display it. But now as they want more fields i have written two select statements for displaying required fields. But these newly added fields are not visible in the Fields object section in the Crystal Reports. I have done verify database, removed and again attached the SP but the problem is not solved.

In my XML, it's possible for an apostrophe to appear in a node's value:
[code]....
I've noticed that the text is correctly displayed in the asp:TextBox but not in the INPUT element. I'm assuming that it's because server controls correctly escape the apostrophe. To work around this, I tried changing the Description node in the XML to the following:
<Description>This is section 'A'</Description>
Again, this displayed correctly in the asp:TextBox, but not in the INPUT element.
My next attempt was to wrap the node's value in a CDATA:
<Description><![CDATA[This is section 'A']]></Description>
Finally it was displaying correctly in the INPUT element, but now the asp:TextBox displayed the two "& # 3 9 ;". I've even tried "& a p o s ;" but the result is the same.
What is the best approach for the use of apostrophes in XML where the value can be displayed in either a server control or HTML element?

I use a ListView along with an ObjectDataSource tied to a business object. This object is defined as follows:
public class Employee
{
public int Id;
public string Name;
}
When I try setting the DataKeyNames property of the ListView to Id, ASP.net blows up and says: DataBinding: 'Employee' does not contain a property with the name 'Id'. However, when I change the object to that:
public class Employee
{
public int Id {get; set;}
public string Name;
}
It works!!!I couldn't find any documentation about this behavior. Why is it not accepting a simple variable for DataKeyNames and instead it insists on a property?

I have a control that inherits CompositeDataBoundControl. Based on the values of the bound data, I create som dynamic controls. In order to preserve state, I need to recreate the control tree on every request(from CreateChildControls):
[code]....
The problem is that on postback the PaymentMethod object is null, so I have no method of knowing what kind of control to recreate. That means that the control state is ruined. If I hardcode the type of payment control to make, it works as expected:
UserControl userCtrl = (UserControl)Page.LoadControl("~/WAF/View/VisitControls/Shop/CreditCardForm.ascx");
dataContainer.Controls.Add(userCtrl);
userCtrl.ID = "CreditCardForm";
how I can find out what payment method is used, so that I can create the correct control on postback?

Although I'm a huge fan of Databound controls since ASP.Net 2.0 and have been using them a lot since learning them, I seem to have stumbled upon an unnoticed(or rather not cared about) issue that these controls seem to have.
I'm using ASP.Net 3.5 and the issue that I noticed is that when using Databound controls(such as Labels, HyperLinks) inside a Data-Control(such as Datalist, Gridview etc.), even if the value returned for one column is NULL, it is still rendered albeit as an empty tag.
For eg: I have a Datalist in which I have a Label whose value may or may not be NULL. Now there's no problem when the value is not NULL, the problem is when the value is NULL. Ideally, no HTML should be rendered for a controls that don't have any value, but in this case, the HTML(<span></span> in case of the Label) of the corresponding NULL valued control is still being rendered.
Now, as I said earlier that most people won't care about this as it isn't much of an issue, but if you consider the fact that this control may be enclosed in a hierarchy of parent controls, and then repeated many a times, this could significantly increase the HTML content(since the ID of your HTML content is based on the parent controls) without any Text added to maintain the Text/HTML ratio, thereby becoming a cause for the Search Engines to shy away from indexing your pages fully.
I couldn't find anything related to this matter anywhere else so I thought to bring it up here. Is this really an issue with databound controls or am I missing something here?

So I finally managed to create a control which basically shows a bunch of Panels with an extra property. I use it like this:
[Code]....
This renders fine and shows the text in the TabPanel controls. However, when I replace the plain text with something a little more exciting, say an UpdatePanel so it looks like this:
[Code]....
Then I get this weird error:

If I take out the UpdatePanel and replace it with an ASCX control I made that simply puts database data into some DropDownLists, like this...
[Code]....
Then the page loads, but the data is not loaded into CustomerUserList1, and the dropdownlists within it are all blank. CustomerUserList1 has worked fine for years when used directly in a normal Panel/Page UpdatePanel.

While writing a web application Using MS Web Developer 2010 Express, I noticed a rather disconcerting behavior of the asp:DropDownlist control.When using databinding and you assign a DataValueField the selectedIndexChanged does not fire or change unless the value of the DataValueField changes no matter what the value of the DataTextField. This means that if I have several different text values(States/Provinces) with the same datavalue (US/Canada) I cannot fire an event if the text changes (the textchanged does not fire either) as long as the datavalue doesn't change (all States are US all Provinces are CA). This would seem to be a counter intuitive behavior?

Using the products database analogy, i have an application using SQL Database tables, that needs to maintain list's of- applicable products for numerous different scenarios.
I reaslise a database is effectively a list itself, but ideally need some kind of list support as a table field, eg list of type "products" where I can list the primary key id's for each product - how to handle this situation using SQL databases?

I'm working in a web application and my page is using a databound formview control. When i first enter the page via my code, I am unable to retreive a value from any of my controls -e.g. when i debug, i see that tbDate.text has no value (see code below). How can I retreive the values from the controls on my page e.g text boxes?
Code:
if (!this.IsPostBack)
{
TextBox tbDate = (TextBox)FormView1.Row.Cells[0].FindControl("txtDate");
}

I've got a formview with controls in different template views and I have a query just out of curiosity.
In my edit template I've got for example:
<asp:TextBox ID="IsPrestigeTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("IsPrestige") %>' />
<asp:CheckBox ID="IsPrestigeChkbx" runat="server" />
and then the same code exactly in my insert template:
<asp:TextBox ID="IsPrestigeTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("IsPrestige") %>' />
<asp:CheckBox ID="IsPrestigeChkbx" runat="server" />
However, the databound items seem to be allowed to have the same ID whereas the non-databound checkboxes arent.
What's going on there?

Heres some code:

I understand this code fairly well, but from what i can gather is that is used with DataBound controls. how do i set something like txtProvider.Text to @Provider and also execute the Query?
