DataSource Controls :: SqlDataSource With ASP DetailsView Control?
Apr 27, 2010
I am going to use DetailsView control for the first time and before using it I thought I would like ask this question. Instead of using the SqlDataSource Object/Class Can i have my class to most of the functionality?In short I donot want to use the in build Sql Data Source control rather would prefer to write my own. Is it possible (I know it must be!) to write the custom SqlDataSource class.
what is the disadvantages of using SqlDataSource Control? apart from flexibility and more control on the retrieved data ;why most of the web developer prefer using code behind (db connection) instead of SqlDataSource Control?
i have a website with a gridview, i bind the SqlDataSource Control that i use for my Gridview with a StroredProc. but the storedproc has to get a value which is from a textbox so that the gridview can display a record.
I know this sounds odd. I have a SQL DB that I am pulling data from. I have to some math functions to get a percentage. So I am pulling all the data in my code and building a data table with the results. I am then trying to pass this into a chart control that I have, but it fails because the data source is not correct for the chart control. I know that the chart control will accept a SQLDataSource control as a data source because a built a example with it before using it in my project.So my question is how can I use the Data Table as a data source for a SQLDataSource Control? Or is there a way I can pull the data from my DB andapply the math needed in a stored procedure or something similar that I could create the procedure on my SQL server then add a SQLDataSource control to my page and use the stored procedure as the source for the SQLDataSource Control.
after I pass querystring parameter to page,page works as expected,but after that when I change my control parameter(dropdownlist selected value how can I set querystring to null or empty...
For some reason the select parameter pAddId is getting set to null and get the following error when the content page is loaded If I hard code the value it works RA-01036: illegal variable name/number Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number
I have one SqlDataSource control as DataSet with enable caching in one page aspx. Filtering is applied to this SqlDataSource control, so that the page always returns one record data.
My question: How to get the record data value from SqlDataSource control (one record data value) and store it as String variable?
I am trying to use a DropDownList in a DetailsView for the ItemTemplate, InsertItemTemplate, and EditItemTemplate. I must bind this DropDownList to a SQL-Server support table using a function that returns a DataTable. I am not allowed to use a SQLDataSource in my backwards IT department. So, not only do I need to load the DropDownList, I also need to make the SelectedValue equal to the current record that I am viewing, editing.
I would like to move all of this to codebehind so it's easier to work with programmatically. For instance the PracticeId is a selection from a dropdownlist that is populated from another table... i need to determine what the current selection is first so i can display the record / bind properly.
I have a Reportviewer with Objectdatasource as default datasource.
However I want the report to have a datasource with parameter depending on the label.text value so sqldatasource is ideal for this. However I dunno how to set the reportviewer datasource as sqldatasource control.
My ASP.Net 3.5 book just came in and I started reading the chapter on ADO.Net.
In the first portion of the chapter, it kind of hinted that writing code to access data was the old way (ie Creating a connection, command and datareader object and programmically binding the reader/dataset to a control).
It says that you should use one of the Data Source Controls, such as the SqlDataSource Control.
Is it best practice to start using Datasource Control like the the SqlDataSource Control or are these mainly for 'RAD'?
I'm putting the finishing touches on decent size ASP.Net application, I coded the Data Access Layer and I am wondering if I should have used the Data Source Controls but I always associated them with Rapid Application Development.
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?
I have asked similiar question before where I have two control on the page header says "username" and "gender". User can select both the control or either one and the page will execute searching based on the criteria supplied. So if username supplied
SELECT * FROM [this_table] WHERE username = @username and if gender supplied SELECT * FROM [this_table] WHERE gender = @gender and if both supplied SELECT * FROM [this_table] WHERE username = @username AND gender = @gender
I know this sounds not very complicated but in my case, I am having like more than 10 controls up there. It is something likeusername, gender, age, date of brith, title, father name, frst name, last name, blur blur blur and it's a lot then I started to lost. if i were to use if else caluse on code-behind and produce query, it would end up writing a lot of if-else and if i use stored procedure (with if-else) then my stored procedure would contains a lot of if-else statement. I am fairly new to this concept and if I'm on the wrong track, please correct me. Is there any better way to save my hair without actually going through each if-else statement to build the query ?p.s. I'm using GridView and SqlDataSource command to display the result back on .aspx page.
I am trying to check whether a username exists in my database before inserting the new row & display a message to the user if it does.
On my SqlDataSource my InsertCommand looks like this:
InsertCommand="IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Users WHERE UserName = @UserName) BEGIN INSERT [Users] ([UserName], [FirstName], [LastName], [City], [State], [Country], [CompanyName], [Active], [PasswordHash]) VALUES (@UserName, @FirstName, @LastName, @City, @State, @Country, @CompanyName, @Active, @PasswordHash) END"
This works as expected: If the username is unique, the row is created.
If the username already exists, the row is not added.
The problem is, if the row already exists, the insert is rejected but the user is not notified.
So my question is, is there a way I can notify the user?
Maybe something like: InsertCommand = "If Not Exists (select....) Begin Insert...Else Notify User Somehow End This is a basic database, I'm not using the built-in membership provider nor will be.
i use below sqldatasource for search within a gridview and it is working fine.i just add this control and set gridview datasource id to sql datasource id .but i need the same in codebehind dynamically.i need like this becuase i need to search in three textbox but before i use one textbox. so could someone show me a example how i add a sqldatasourse in code behind and set filter parameter for search from a gridview.
Which one is better for me to store urls of my products images while i was trying to bind images with gridview. provide me some code snippet to bind images to gridview with XMLDataSource.
If I have a SqlDataSource like this one, is it possible to add a DataRelation in the sqldatasource? Or do I need to create a DataSet and add the Relation in CodeBehind?
