I have a asp.net detailsview control on a page. I've noticed that it always displays the raw text from my database field, it doesn't interpret the html in the text -- so it displays < b>mytext< /b> instead of just mytext in bold.
Is there anyway to get the control to interpret the html in the data being returned
I've got a dropdownlist control that the user can select an an employee name and that should then fill in the detailsview control with specific information about that employee.
My dropdownlist control works fine and I do have AutoPostBack set to true. For some reason my detailsview doesn't work. There's no error message. The detailsview control just doesn't show up.
Here's my code:
This is the sqldatasource control for the dropdownlist control:

This is the sqldatasource control for the detailsview control:
I wanna use the DetailsView control without binding it with a datasource (just in insert mode) but the problem is when I try to get the values of the fields throught ItemInserting event handler I found the e.Values property empty however there are some fields.
Note: I wanna use it (The DetailsView control) [instead of allign the fields manually] because there're already a theme for it in whole the system and I don't want to do that again from scratch for custom template.
I am trying to arrange the information from a SQL record into a 3 column by 3 row table to fit the form presentation that I want. I have placed on the page 3X3 table and then tried to place a detailsview in the first cell for the first picture called P1dv.
I have place a detailsview in the last cell that would control the paging of information called Controldv. I need to fiqure out how to link P1dv paging to Controldv page action. I am using visual web dev. 2005. I am not updating or editing these are read only views.
example of what i need the form output to look like:
I have a DetailsView control which gets data from a IEnumerable custom class. But I can't get updated values from the control so I can process to update them manually in the database. How can I do that?
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.
But I´m trying to do that programmatically, not with the sqldatasource. So I wrote the method that binds data to Detailsview and I call it in the page_load. The problem is that I have to click two times on the select button to view the detailsview. The first time I click on the select button nothing happens.
I have a gridview with a Select button. Clicking the Select button for a particular item, I need its full details displayed in DetailsView. how I can bind to DetailsView? Here is what I have so far.
In classic ASP if you wanted to send a user to a specific page you would send/create a URL like :
posts.asp?id=24 ...the querystring indicating the post.
Well, in asp.net using a DetailsView control bound to a dataset, how do I do the same thing? In the address bar, all i see is posts.aspx when I'm paging through the records, no querystring part. How do I send a user to posts.aspx?id=24 when its a detailsview control on the page.
Note: I'm interested in sending a user to a specific postid not a specific index in the dataset.
In page1 on clicking template field named Edit the record goes into detailsveiw (Edit mode) to next page.
In detailsview, I have already set True to AutoGenerateEditButton so that the user update record and Click UPDATE or CANCEL.
I want to show a message "Record Updated Successfully" on clicking update and the page redirects to the Page1 and refresh the page1 with the updated record.
I have a small question about the DetailsViewControl(DV).Probably most of us know there are three modes of a DV, edit, insert, and read-only.So we got edititemtemplate, insertitemtemplate and itemtemplate.Is there any actual difference between the 3 templates? I mean, if we don't generate the edit, insert and delete button by default. They are just three kinds of templates with different names, aren't they.
I'm using a detailsview control to update a record, however in this particular case there's only one field that can be changed out of a many. The update method for my object takes all fields as parameters. When the detailsview's updating method fires, the values for the readonly fields (those rendered as a Label) are not available in the e.NewValues collection.
I'm currently grabbing a reference to the object when the detailsview is databound (in the objectdatasource selected event handler), storing it in session and manually adding entries to the e.NewValues collection when updating fires. It works but seems kind of heavy handed. So, is there a better way to get the read only values back into my update method? Or is there a better way of doing this altogether?
I am using the DetailsView Control to read a LastUpdatedDate field (which can be null until an update is performed) from the database. The LastUpdatedDate is of type DateTime saved in UTC. With the DetailsView control, I can use the NullDisplayText property of the boundfield to safely display an custom message. However, once converted to a template field, that property is lost. Now, how would I display that message if the field is null as I am also formatting the date for display to show in local time.
'' I try to add an TemplateField to my DetailsView control with calander control, in all modes. but can only add it to cell(0).how can i insert in the middle of the row?
Dim tmpfld As New TemplateField Dim c As Calendar = New Calendar() DetailsView1.Rows(0).Cells(4).Controls.Add(c)
I have a DetailsView control with two columns and 7 rows. I need the two columns to merge in row two and get rid of the header. I only the data from the DB to display no the header name in row two. How do I merge it in DetailsView control?
I have a databound label control (i.e. Label 3) inside an Item Template that's in a DetailsView control. I just need to get the value of those label and compare it to some string. I tried several ways (i.e. Find control, DetailsView.Row) but nothing seems to work. I don't know if I'm using the FindControl methos correctly or if I need to access the Row first and do the findcontrol method.
