[code]....

gives me error: Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

I could write : <%# Eval("SaveDate") != DBNull.Value ? do magic But I need to do lots of html magic in if statement.

I know I should add # in order to use Eval, but not sure about correct syntax.

Statement Within Formview / Error Databinding Methods Such As Eval(), XPath() And Bind()?

Jan 22, 2010

i have a FormView, it renders fields from a SQLServer database but also much static text specific to the database value I get. I dont know if this can be done in the code behind and put all this in a function . I put it in my formview

<ItemTemplate>
<% If Eval("Feature1") = "Yes" Then %>
<%# Eval("Username") %> A lot of text
<% elseIf Eval("Feature1") = "No" Then %>
<%# Eval("Username") %>

A lot of different text

<% End If %>
</ItemTemplate>

If I do the code above I get error message:

Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control. Can this be done within the formview?

Forms Data Controls :: Use Eval Or Bind In A Databound Control?

Sep 8, 2010

I have a repeater I've databound with a generic arraylist from a LINQ query (.ToList() ) in the code behind.

I was using

<%# Bind("FirstName")%> but noticed
<%# Eval("FirstName")%> works just as well.

Is it better to use Eval or Bind? or does it depend on the situation?

C# - Getting Eval To Work In A Databound, Templated Custom Control?

Sep 29, 2010

Context

I'm putting together a templated, databound control. Presently it works with the following syntax...
<cc:ItemChooserControl ID="ItemChooser" runat="server">
<TitleTemplate>
<h4><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DisplayName") %></h4>
</TitleTemplate>
</cc:ItemChooserControl>

Problem

What I would like though is that the shorter, simpler Eval would work instead.
<h4><%# Eval("DisplayName") %></h4>
What I get however when using straight Eval is an error:
Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

Code

I'm databinding to a custom HtmlTableCell...
public class TitleTemplateTableCell: HtmlTableCell, INamingContainer
{
private object m_DataItem;
public virtual object DataItem
{
get { return m_DataItem; }
set { m_DataItem = value; }
}
}

With the following custom DataBind (non-related code removed)...

foreach (object dataItem in dataSource) {
TitleTemplateTableCell title = new TitleTemplateTableCell();
TitleTemplate.InstantiateIn(title); // TitleTemplate is the template property
title.DataItem = dataItem;
title.DataBind();
}

Forms Data Controls :: DataBinding And DataBound FormView's Events?

Dec 27, 2010

I have a very simple form that contains a FormView Control Bound with a SqlDataSource, The DefaultMode of the FormView control is "Insert". I noticed that when I run the page for the first time, the databinsing and databound events of the FormView Control occurs after the PreRender Event of the page ! I know very well the life cycle of a page, but I dont know when the data binding occurs in the life cycle of a page and if it can differ from a control to another.

Is there an article or a tutorial explaining all those things.

Databinding - Gridview Paging Does Not Work If The Grid Is Not Loaded During Page_load. Tried All Methods

Oct 26, 2010

I have a gridview which I load with data on click of a button. For some reason the paging did not work. The paging number shows up but clicking on page # 2, 3 or 4 does not take you anywhere. the grid just disappears on clicking them. right after that when i click the button to generate the grid, the grid came up this time the gird is on page 2 or 3 instead of 1.

I have the following on page_indexing properly.

Protected Sub GV_Document_Hide_PageIndexChanging(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewPageEventArgs) Handles GV_PSIDocument_Hide.PageIndexChanging
GV_Document_Hide.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex
End Sub

I even tried by adding the databind() code inside the pageindexchanging as suggested in other threads but that didn't make any difference.

The only way I could get this going was by populating/loading the grid on page_load. I have to assign datasource & databind it every time irrespective of even postbacks. I tried IsNotpostback then the paging failed again Why does gridview needs loading on page_load every time if the paging needs to work properly?

Eval means one way binding(i.e;readonly)
Bind means two way binding(i.e;both read as well as write the datasource)

but none of them explained it more clearly.all i want to know is how can i use the Bind to update/insert something from the datasource?

C# - Which Databound Control Should Be Use For Nested Databound Controls?

Dec 7, 2010

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.

Forms Data Controls :: Changing Data In A Gridview During Databinding Or After Databound?

Feb 2, 2010

im building a simple message messenger web application, i currently have a column in my database dedicated to the status of a message. Its bound to the third column in a datagrid.

After converting the column to a TemplateField and using a Label to fetch the data how do i change the text from the database to a small message, e.g. if the data in the database (as an interger) is 0. how do i change the interger to a string to display "UnRead". Do i need to do this during the databinding call or after the grid has been databound?

I know it would be easier to use a boolean and checkbox control but the interger column represents more values than true or false.
