DataSource Controls :: Modifying The SqlDataSource SelectCommand Prior To Loading A Page?
Sep 28, 2010
I have a SqlDataSource setup in the markup on my page. After some new requirements, I am trying to find a way to modify the SelectCommand before the data is filled for the first time. The SelectCommand below will now be used by default since we'll always have the first param. I am faced with a need to modify the SelectCommand though, adding a second session parameter along with it. I tried to override the OnInit method but it didn't seem to help...it still used the default query. Is there a best way to accomplish this? Here is the section of markup I am referring to:
In an asp.net 3.5 web app, I have a page with the following markup/code (this is the brief version, but I believe I got all the relevant info).
[Code]....
The form contains 2 different record types, accessed using the paging controls, depending on the ParentSR field; a parent SR will be something like '1234' while its sub-record will be something like '1234.1'. There are only a few differences in the fields used between the 2 different record types and that is why they are stored in the same table. However, the activity depends on the record type. When browsing from the parent record to the sub-record, the itemtemplate loads fine (notice in the formview's datasource query, that the sractivity_id field is being pulled along with the subquery value). But when going to edit the record, the page throws an error:
System.Web.HttpUnhandledException: Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown. ---> System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: 'ddlActivity' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.
If i click 'back' and retry, it may take 3 attempts, but then the edittemplate will load just fine. I should also point out that this error does not always occur. I've been trying to figure this out for a couple months and it is driving me nuts, mainly due to the fact that I can't reproduce the error in development--it seems to only occurr in production. Anyone with any thoughts on what is going on?
In my application, I am using DataList. In Item Template I added One GridView and SqlDataSource to populate data in GridView. DataList having one DataKey field, I want to pass this DataKey Value to the SqlDataSource as Parameter.
My SqlDataSource has no selectCommand defined in the .aspx page. Instead I define it in the code behind dynamically depending on some parameters that the user selects and then clicks a button to perform the query (custom search filters basically). The problem is that when I click on a different page in my dataPager, or I click to sort any of the columns the gridview becomes empty when the page refreshes. I did a check and the selectCommand becomes empty when the page posts back. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
I have a page has Listview and Datapager inside UpdatePanel. When I refresh the new SQL results and bind by pressing link buton outside of the update panel, I get correct results. (get new SQLselect statment, rebind to listview, update updatepanel)
However, the SelectCommand is not bound right or some other reason, if I press datapager, I won't get no results.
I'm guessing it's caused by not passing new dynamic selectcommand since my datapager and listview works first update.
With asp 2.0 and vwd 2005, I have a page with a radiobuttonlist, textbox and gridview with edit/delete. Using the radiobuttonlist, the user selects a search type and then enters the criteria in the text box. the click event of a submit button checks the rbl.selectedindex and chooses a sqldatasource.selectcommand with the where clause getting its criteria from the textbox. The gridview loads the data, but the edit/delete are not working. Code and relevant markup is below
I have a DDL with 2 options: "Trainer" & "Observer." I'd like to use the selection from that DDL to reference a field in the SqlDataSource SelectCommand.
There are 2 fields in the table that may be referenced in the SelectCommand:
"Trainer_Oracle_ID" & "Observer_Oracle_ID." I'm trying to do something like:
WHERE @Oracle_ID_Type = <%=DropDownList_Oracle_ID_Type.Text%>_Oracle_ID
i.e. User selects "Trainer" and the SelectCommand references the field called:
I have an ASP.NET 3.5 web form with a DropDownList bound to a table of company names in a database. I also have a data bound GridView which I would like to update with data from the database depending on the company name selected in the DropDownList, so that the SelectCommand for the GridView's SqlDataSource is:
SELECT Registration, Telephone, Profile FROM {CompanyName}_VehicleData
Where {CompanyName} is whatever is selected in the DropDownList. I've used the Command and Parameter Editor to create a ControlParameter pointing to the SelectedValue of the DropDownList, but I don't know how to write the SelectCommand query to concatenate the parameter to '_VehicleData'.
There are cases where I have to change this query dynamically at runtime, so I do the following:
SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = sql; // 'sql' is the new query GridView1.PageIndex = 0; GridView1.EditIndex = -1; GridView1.SelectedIndex = -1; GridView1.DataBind(); updatePanel.Update();
This works just fine actually, but when I click the pagination controls, the result set defaults back to the SelectCommand defined in the SqlDataSource1.
I am trying to pass a variable within a selectcommand statment in ASP.NET and I have researched online how to do it but I can't seem to find a way to do it...What I am trying to do is write a code for a web page that will display a page with useful links on it where the links are separated into different topics and where everything is dynamically grabbed from a database. This is what I have so far:
My SelectCommand string in my asp:SqlDataSource is very long. Is there a way I can chop it up into different strings on several newlines to make it more readable?
I have a question related to <asp:SqlDataSource's SelectCommand. How to pass a querystring like <%# Eval("PhotoID") %> in the selectCommand. The whole frontend code is attached. I put
<%# Eval("PhotoID") %> and the photoid gets printed in the page. <%# Eval("PhotoID") %> is the current displayed picture's PhotoID.
I want to pass this PhotoID or I want to pass <%# Eval("PhotoID") %> to the select command dynamically. I have tried the following approaches:
1) <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:aspnetdb %>" SelectCommand="SELECT UserName, commentDesc, uID FROM photo_comment_view Where pID = @pID"> <SelectParameters><asp:Parameter Name="pID" DefaultValue="7" /></SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> The above works but it gives only information about PhotoID 7, but there are other photos; How to set pID's value to <%# Eval("PhotoID") %> in ASP .NET's frontend page? then I also tried,
2) <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:aspnetdb %>" SelectCommand="SELECT UserName, commentDesc, uID FROM photo_comment_view Where pID = <%#'Eval("PhotoID') %>"></asp:SqlDataSource> Gives Parser error: Parser Error Message: The server tag is not well formed.
What I should do so that I can pass current PhotoID to SelectCommand? The frontend code:
I've got a gridview which works fine. I use dropdownlists which are filled with distinct values of the columns. So when I select an item in a drompdownlist the gridview refreshes based on the selected value. When I have a column which uses string values, I can start the filter with a default % value to use in my select paramaters. But when I have a date column, I can't use that. I use a datasource for the gridview and I prefer to leave codebehind out if this is not needed. Now I use >= in my gridview select to show all rows. but I want to use only = to make the filter work correct when I select a date in the ddl and use the selectedvalue in the gridview selectCommand
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlUpdateDatum" DataSourceID="dsPopulateUpdateDatum" AutoPostBack="true" DataValueField="UPDATEDATE" runat="server" CssClass="selectinput" AppendDataBoundItems="true"> <asp:ListItem Text="All" Value="01/01/1900"></asp:ListItem> </asp:DropDownList> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="dsPopulateUpdateDatum" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:GAMSYSTEMSqlServer %>" SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT(UPDATEDATE) FROM [messages] ORDER BY UPDATEDATE ASC "> </asp:SqlDataSource> And I use this in the gridview datasource: <asp:SqlDataSource runat="server" ID="dsGridview" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DBSqlServer %>" SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [messages] WHERE AND UpdateDatum >= @UpdateDatePar ORDER BY UpdateDatumDESC" > <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="UpdateDatePar" ControlID="ddlUpdateDate" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="string" /> </SelectParameters>
I have a SQL data source control defined to filter data from a SQL database, sorted according to the date time in descending order. When i try and update a field of the latest record, the entire column, related to the field of the filtered search gets modified. I want to only update a field of the last record i.e. the last entry of the filtered data. How can i achieve it?
I have just started using LINQ with VS2008. I have added extra columns to my table, saved the changes, but class ClassName.Designer.CS didn't get updated. What do I have to do to updated the class? Do I have to do it manually, or is there a way to automatically synchronize tables and ClassName.Designer.CS?
I am confused about why I would need to wrap the DataContext's SubmitChanges within a transactionScope when modifying multiple tables. I was under the impression that the DataContext would track these changes and would therefore create its own transaction if need be.
In other words, if a change was made to update table A, B and C or if I made changes to 10 out of 20 items in a collection of rows, that the datacontext would track these changes and create its own transaction. If that is correct then why have I seen examples that wrapped these types of updates in a TransactionScope?
I am trying to setup a page that access a members email address from a query string and then updates a table to set a field "opt_out" to true. I want to accomplish this on page load so when the user clicks a link I send them in their email to opt_out it will automatically do so. I have an sqldatasource set up as follows;
[Code]....
How can I call this datasource to update on page load isntead of binding to sometype of view?
i have two sqldatasource controls. one i use to display data in textbox's ,filter'd by a select parameter in page behind code. Once checked, i want to copy this data to the other datasource ,by selecting checkbox.Then display this data in detailsview control.
At present the two datasource controls declared , render data to the page simultaneously during pageload. I want to first check data in textbox's from first source, before second datasource is rendered to screen. note, both are filtered by a page variable. i wish to leave the textbox datasource control in situ, as other controls and code depend on it.The other detailsview datasource is my problem?
