I tried binding a ListBox to an Object Data Source, but I can’t get the field to show up in the Data Source Configuration Wizzard for the ListBox. I got it working programatically populating the listbox using the DataReader but I’d like to be able to use the Object Data Source (Unless there are compelling reasons not to that I haven’t heard of yet.)

I couldn't come up with a good subject. I have a simple ASP.NET 3.5 form. If you follow the numbered comments, I explain how I am stepping through the code when I run the page in debug mode. Both of the below functions are methods declared in the code behind file of the page, both are in the same _Default class. The ManagersListBox is declared in the Default.aspx page. Why is it that in the context of the GetSubordinates, the ManagersListBox is null? It's as if it disappears for a moment and then reappears after returning from the GetSubordinates method. Obviously the solution is to parameterize GetSuborindates, but that is not my concern. I am trying to learn how ASP.NET works and I would really like to understand why I am seeing this behavior "disappearing object".

I have created a custom paging data class that is used with an ObjectDataSource. In intial tests, I found it was performing worse than my old SqlDataSource code. Whilst investigating, I found that for every page load, the ObjectDataSource is being created and binding twice.
Investigating the links above led me to believe this could be a bug (or unexplained behavior) in regards to changing my GridView's column visibility in the OnDataBound event like so:
protected void gvContacts_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType != DataControlRowType.Pager && e.Row.Cells[0].Text != gvContacts.EmptyDataText)
{
e.Row.Cells[0].Visible = false;
if (Convert.ToInt16(lstSearchType.SelectedValue) == ADDRESS)
{
gvContacts.Columns[2].ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Percentage(30);
gvContacts.Columns[3].Visible = true;
gvContacts.Columns[3].ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Percentage(20);
}
else
{
gvContacts.Columns[2].ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Percentage(50);
gvContacts.Columns[3].Visible = false;
}
}
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
e.Row.Attributes["ID"] = "contact_" + e.Row.Cells[0].Text;
e.Row.Attributes["onclick"] = "javascript:selectRow($(this).attr('id').replace('contact_',''),2);";
e.Row.Attributes["ondblclick"] = "javascript:openContact($(this).attr('id').replace('contact_',''),''); selectRow($(this).attr('id').replace('contact_',''),2);";
//E-mail link
if (e.Row.Cells[4].Text != " ")
{
e.Row.Cells[4].Text = "<a href="mailto:" + e.Row.Cells[4].Text + "">" + e.Row.Cells[4].Text + "</a>";
}
//Birthday highlight
if (e.Row.Cells[6].Text != " ")
{
DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(e.Row.Cells[6].Text);
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
if (dt.Day == now.Day && dt.Month == now.Month)
{
e.Row.Cells[6].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(255, 230, 160);
}
}
}
}
I use this event to customize the display of certain fields, as well as hide columns that are not pplicable during some search types. When I disable the event, the ODS stops binding twice. I can't really think of a way to get around this behavior. Has anyone else see this issue or developed a work around?
CheckPara is my OnDataBinding procedure SqlDataSource1 is ObjectDataSource (it's only confusing name)
Language is Nemerle, but if you know C# you can read it easy
protected virtual CheckPara(_ : object, _ : System.EventArgs) : void
{
foreach(x is Parameter in SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters)
when(x.DefaultValue=="") //Cancel binding
}
so how can I cancel binding when there is not fully configurated ObjectDataSource ? Or... how can I run binding only when I done with all parameters ?

I have an ODS control populating a Telerik grid. The ODS definition is pretty simple. It's set to call a method on a static class that has one parameter (entityID). I set this parameter in the OnSelecting event. When I test this, the world is a happy place and all is fine.
Then, I pass a query string to the page (which sets various unrelated values for the page, we'll say parameters X and Y). The page call's Telerik's radgrid.Rebind() event. When this happens, an error is throw from the ODS saying that the underlying method (the static data procedure) does not support parameters X and Y.
So, why is ODS thinking it should be using any querystring values at all when I have explicitly set the entityID parameter (of type Asp:Parameter)? How do I stop this from happening?

I see this odsList_OnSelecting being hit and the inspection of e.InputParameters only contains my expected single entry.
I have an ObjectDataSource that is bound to a GridView. The object accepts a parameter from a TextBox. The problem I have is when I use a CustomerValidator with a ServerValidate event, the ObjectDataSource would still attempt to perform a DataBind despite the fact the the customer validator has returned false. The following is the code in the ASPX page.
<asp:TextBox ID="sittingDate" runat="server" />
<asp:CustomValidator ID="DateValidator" runat="server" ControlToValidate="sittingDate" OnServerValidate="DateValidator_ServerValidate" />
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="BatchDataSource" runat="server" OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}"
SelectMethod="GetOrCreateSittingBatch" TypeName="BatchBLL" OnSelected="BatchDataSource_Selected" OnSelecting="BatchDataSource_Selecting">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="sittingDate" Name="batchDate" PropertyName="Text"
Type="DateTime" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>
<asp:GridView ID="BatchGridView" runat="server" DataSourceID="BatchDataSource">
In the Custom Validator I have
protected void DateValidator_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
/Ensure that the entered data is a date.
string input = args.Value;
DateTime result;
args.IsValid = DateTime.TryParse(input.TrimEnd(), out result);
}
How do I stop the ObjectDataSource from data binding when validation has failed?
I am trying to bind a DataTable into a ObjectDataSource. This ObjectDataSource data will be used to bind into my LocalReport in ReportViewer.

how can i access the my sqldatasource selected datasource for modification and adding for example new datacolumns before binding??where is the best place to perform these modifications ?i guess SqlDataSource1_Selected is the right place, but i don't know how ?
View 1 RepliesI have a gridview databound to an objectdatasource. Everything worked great until I changed 2 columns from asp:BoundField to asp:TemplateField. These are the UPC column and the Part column. I wanted to show a link button for each of these fields that take the user to another page. Now asp.net expects these two fields to be parameters on the update store procedure. Why is this? How do I get it to not assume these columns need to be passed to the store procedure?

I'm trying to bind both GridView and DetailsView to a single ObjectDataSource declaratively (in markup). I'm getting the error read as below when I tried to run it.
"The DataSourceID of 'DetailsView1' must be the ID of a control of type IDataSource. A control with ID 'ReservationsDataSource' could not be found."
It works when I bind GridView and DetailsView each seperately to my ObjectDataSource. Is it I can't bind two pagable data web controls to a single datasource?? or there is a trick needed to be done for this to work.
FYI, I'm trying to create a Master/DetailsView of my data. DetailsView of my application should show the record selected in GridView and it should be editable.

View 2 RepliesI am having 3 ListBoxs(LB1,LB2,LB3).In LB1 I am binding the names of Courses through database.The code is shon below...
da1 = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT COURSE_ID,COURSE_NAME FROM Course_Mst", con);
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
da1.Fill(dt1);
lstCourse.DataSource = dt1;
lstCourse.DataValueField = "COURSE_ID";
lstCourse.DataTextField = "COURSE_NAME";
lstCourse.DataBind();
Whenever I select particular course in LB1 all the content related to that course will be binded in LB2.The code is shown below.....
protected void LB1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
da2 = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT SPEC_ID,SPEC_NAME FROM SPEC_TRANS WHERE COURSE_ID="+Convert.ToInt32(lstCourse.SelectedValue)+"", con);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();

My problem is when I select a item from LB2 and click on ADD the selecteditem is added to LB3 but if I select the same item and click on ADD the items are again added to the LB3.I want to prevent this.Pls respond me ASAP.
I'm doing research on framework development for my company. SInce I will be developing a framework I can not simply declaire all my control in the code in front. Receiently I've been having trouble binding the controls from my ListView to my ObjectData Source. Basicly the properties in my DataObjectTypeName are not populated when the ObjectDataSource "Update" command is thrown. I recieve no error, I just get null values. All I need is an equivalent to this statement for code-behind ...
<%# Bind("AbstractText") %>This would solve all my issues. Ofcouse I will most likely need to bind the control's ID somewhere but that is not an issue. How do I Bind a control to a property in my DataObjectTypeName from the code-behind?

This gives me a run-time error: Cannot create an object of type 'System.Object' from its string representation 'SelectedBook' for the 'DataSource' property.Is there a way of doing this declaratively and not in code-behind? Further, what if what I want is to actually use a child property of the property in question? For example, if my Book object has a ReaderComments collection, can I databind to it decaratively in the aspx mark-up?
I have a Gridview in the markup and I add an ObjectDataSource to the mark up which will be the gridviews data source. Is this a redundant way of binding controls? I believe using this method is good for small sites with little customisation etc. but, for large sites (multi lingual, hundreds of pages etc) I have been taught to create the controls in the mark up or code behind, then bind the controls on PreRender in the code behind. My new boss thinks this method is old school and the current way of using an objectdatasource in the mark up is the best way to do it.
View 10 RepliesI am designing a program that will let me enter the name of an item to swap and adds the swap to an array list when a button Add is pressed. Once the item is added to the array list a Sub Procedure should be called which displays the contents of the array list in a list box.
The system will also allow me to remove items from the array list using a Remove button
followed by updating array list.
I have done some part which puts item into the listbox1 which i named lstSwapList.I would need some assistance on the Sub Procedure to display the Value or Description on the other listbox2 which i have also named lstContent,if a value is selected from the listbox1.
I would also want to know how to update the Listbox content,However i hv added a sample of the way i guess it may be.
Any complete solution from anybody on the Sub Procedure and the Update Swap procedure will be greately appreciated.

I have two list boxes, one has a list of available users (about 1500 items) and the other is blank. There is a button to add the seleted items from the first list box to the second one. Both of these listboxes are within an update panel and for some reason it takes over 20 seconds for the items to show up in the second listbox.
Is this normal? Is there an alternate, faster way of doing this?
