I have a ASP.NET (VB) Dynamic Data Project in ASP.NET 4.0. It works great - and offers filtering - but now I want to add searching to it. What is the best way to accomplish this in ASP.NET 4.0? Is there any built-in functionality for performing searches declaratively?
View 1 RepliesAs a newbie coming from a Java background with tag libraries I wonder if there is a simple possibility to render areas depending on backend values.For example if I have search form I do not want to render the table for the search results as long as the user hasn't pressed the search button. Of course I can iterate over the model containing an empty list but this does not allow to suppress rendering the whole table.Using web forms I would just control the visibility of the affected tag(s) in the code behind file but how do I do this with ASP.NET MVC?Can I use a partital view for a case like this? But I think I would have the same problem. How can I determine if a partial view is rendered (e.g. the whole result table with header)?
View 7 Repliesi have some text boxs in a page and in the same page there will be a table 'grid' like for holding the search result.When the user start editing and of the textbox above, the search must start by sending all textboxs values to the server 'ajax', and get back with the results to fill the below grid.
Notes:This grid should support paging, sorting by clicking on headers and it will contains some controls beside the results such as checkboxs for boolean values and links for opening details in another page.
I know many ways to do this some of them are:1- updatepanel around all of these controls and thats it "fast dirty solution"
2- send the search criteria using ajax request using JQuery post function for example and get back the JSON result, and using a template will draw the grid "clean but will take time to finish and will be harder to edit later".
3- ....My question is:What do you think will be the best choice to implement this scenario? because i face this scenario too much, and want to know which implementation will be better regarding performance, optimization, and time to finish.
I created a website. I would like to include a search box that searches the whole website and returns the results.
View 2 RepliesI have a set of controls that enable the user to search one of two fields in a given SQL Server table. The ddlSearch dropdownlist specifies the field to search. The txtSearch textbox contains the search string. I have the following code working fine, except search string isn't being passed to my listview:
[Code]....
I tried adding a DataBind after End Using, but the listview still won't provide the search results. Note that I also have an EntityDataSource on page.
Am I adding this to the wrong event? Should this code be added to PageLoad instead of click event of Submit button? What other issues should I address? Is it possible for ListView to handle the search by itself? That is, do I even need other dropdownlist and textbox controls, or is there functionality builit into the listview control to search? Finally, can I enable a checkbox for each returned item? I will need this so that the user can select items to add to their order.
I will explain this as best I can. When a user types in a search field (ASP Textbox field) and presses enter a list of search results are displayed if there is a match. The search results display in the second half of the page. A video will play in the top half of the page but not until a querystring is passed to the page. The querystring value comes from the list of displayed search results. When a user clicks on results from the search (ASP Hyperlink) the querystring value is passed to the same page he/she is on and a video starts playing. My major problem is when I pass the querystring value I do not want to lose the list of search results. It looks like in ASP.net the page refreshes each time you pass a new value. It's not optional to make the user click the back button to see the orginal search results. I'm assuming it has something to do with maintaining session state but I am no expert. YouTube and many other sites do this similar functionality so I figure it must be possible in ASP.Net.
So basically, I want the image that I searched for to continue to display even as I select them and pass there videoID to the SQLDataSource that is expecting the QueryString. All values are being pulled from a SQL 2008 database. When the QueryString value is passed a video will play based on the value that was passed. Currently I have this working but the problem is when I pass the querystring my displayed search results are gone or disappeared. I was thinking that maybe if I could pass the querystring value and the search results value it would work. It would mean reposting the data again but I guess that's a work-around. So for instance if a user typed 'biceps' in the orginal search some kind of way I would store biceps somewhere and pass it again along with the querystring for the video. It doesn't seem like the most eficient way to do it but if someone on here suggest that's the best way I will also need help with that syntax. I am using ASP.Net 4 and VB instead of C#.
I would like a gridview (using entitydatasource) to display the search results based on values provided in textbox txtSearch and dropdownlist ddlsearch. My search controls are as follows:
[Code]....
My entitydatasource is:
[Code]....
My gridview is written as:
[Code]....
Codebehind file contains:
[Code]....
I am a newbie at entitydatasource and have a few questions:
1. Currently, the gridview doesn't render. Why is that?
2. How do I wire up the gridview to grab the values of ddlsearch and txtSearch and return results using those values from my entitydatasource?
3. Ultimately, I want to encapsulate this gridview in a wizard step wherein the user checks items they want and those checked items are used in the next wizard step.
I have a .net page in which i have a search button which populates the data in gridview. On Headder row of gridview i have a filter image button and when user clicks on it i need to have a div tag opened as popup and in which i have to load the data of first column data of grid view as list of checkboxs and when user clicks one by one the parent gridview need to be shortened out (reduce) basing on selected/checked item in div tag. Since the check box controls are added dynamically it need to happen in Page_PreInit, so what i am trying to do is on the search i am trying to post back the page which goes to the Page_PreInit and tries to create all these check boxes dynamically.

I am trying to export a gridview that is returned from a search form. The gridview also has paging enabled. In order to export the records from all pages in the gridview I had to turn off paging and do a databind, but instead of only exporting the search results it exports all the records in the gridview.
How can I only export the records from the search results, but also the make sure the records on the different pages export also?
I'm working on a job seeking website where the job seeker can search for a job , the search box is located in the master page, that's why i passed the keywords as a query string, and then the matching jobs will be displayed in a listview.
the keywords will be taken from two controls: a drop down list which the user can choose the location of the job, and a text box where he can type a keyword.
the select command of the sqlDataSource of the data list is as the following:

I am trying to make an asp site where someone types in a search term, then google (or any search engine) is searched for that search term and the resulting urls are compiled into a database.
Is this possible? How would i access the search results?I have seen other websites that do something similar - for example on one site you type in your search term and your website, and it comes back with which page your site is for that search term - how does it access the search results?

What's the best way in ASP.NET MVC to get a few questions related to the current question (like on stackoverflow) without using tags?
View 1 RepliesI am using dynamic data entities linq to sql project. For my test project I have one table, with 10 columns and a single primary key for example. Almost all the columns are varchars.I can get the basic project up and running fine - update, delete, insert etc.ince it has no foreign keys, there are no search filters rendered. I was wondering if there was an easy way to generate a set of filters for the columns for this table. So a First name and last name search box. Is there a way to generate these filters for chosen columns and is there a way to generate these for all the columns
for example, above each of the columns in the grid there might be a text box ( I am not too fussed where the text boxes are rendered as such). Each of the text boxes will act as a filter for that column (doing a SQL 'like')

In my web form I have a search box. The user enters a string, and once the search button is clicked, I pass the value from my .js file to my .cs file and do some processing to get the results. Up to this point everything is fine, but now I dont know how to get my results back to my .js page. The serach results at this point are in a dataset, and also in an multidimensional array. I have a multi array because I need to pass back the code and description of the items found.

At this point I have used the passed string 'value' to get my required code/descriptions, but i'm not sure how/if I can get either the Dataset or multidimensional array back to my .js page
I am creating a website for my final year project and I create a search based on this tutorial:
http://www.codedigest.com/Articles/ASPNET/289_Building_Efficient_Search_Page_Using_QueryExtender_control_in_ASPNet_40.aspx
I would like to show the results from the search in another page. How do I show the results of the search in another page when the user press the button?
Anyone can help providing some code/suggestion on how to implement Search and displaying results on same page using MVC and simple way to implement paging with Ajax.
Below are the search parameters(search Page looks like below) i need to pass to db to get results. We are using MVC2 with entity framework.
Search Criteria- Last Name Course Name Status
I've an ASP.NET page with a textbox and a option from user of the following choices: Wikipedia, Google, Dictionary.com, Flickr, Google images.The user enters a word(s) in the textbox and selects a choice among the following.
Depending on the choice select by the user I wish to return the following.
Wikipedia: Return the content and link to the page corresponding to the topic about the word.
Google: Return the top 10 results of google search for this word.
Flickr: Return a few images atmost 10 images from flickr search
GoogleImage: Return a few images from google image search.
Dictionary: Return the meaning of the word.
How can I do that?
I am trying to create a search filter much like the one used on eBay that dynamically comes up with appropriate search categories based on the search results left. For example: [URL]
As you can see the search filters on the left are based upon the details displayed on the product results.
I need to try and implement something similar for an ASP.NET site, whereby I need to filter articles based on fields such as sales, companies, employee numbers etc. My database is quite normalised so I am able to separate all the data into their own tables.
I have this code:
Dim Result As New DataTable
DataAdapter.Fill(Result)
'bind data to visible surname/name grid
If Result.Rows.Count = 0 Then
NoInputBottom.Text = "No Results. Please widen your search criteria and try again"
NoInputTop.Text = "No Results. Please widen your search criteria and try again"
Else
GV.DataSource = Result
GV.DataBind()
End If
I have also tried moving the check to the gridview like so:
If GV.Columns.Count = 0 Then
NoInputBottom.Text = "No Options Selected: Please select your search criteria and try again" NoInputTop.Text = "No Options Selected: Please select your search criteria and try again" End If
When I run the code. the noinput labels do not have value, the null check seems to be failing? how to display a message if the search returned no reults.
