Forms Data Controls :: Best Way To Auto-format Auto-generated Grid Columns?
Mar 9, 2010
I have a "database explorer" page that is desgined to be pointed to an unknown database and allow users to browse the data, so it basically uses the SQL system tables to develop its queries and pull in data to tables using auto-generate columns.The problem that I have is that I would like certain types of columns to have certain formats and I'm wondering the best way to go about it. I could format the column in code in the RowDataBound event I assume, but I'm wondering if there some better standard way to do this? Is there a setting of any kind that I can use? For example I want all of the datetime fields to be formated for short date, like {0:d}, I want decimal fields to have 4 decimal places, etc.

I need to make a link for all the rows in one column of a gridview(VB .Net) where the grid has been auto-created from the data source. The link would simply point to another ASP details web page. The examples I have found have all been in C# and I don't quite follow them.

GridView1.Columns.Count is always zero even SqlDataSource1.DataBind();
But Grid is ok I can do
for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.HeaderRow.Cells.Count;i++)
I rename request headers here but
GridView1.Columns[i].Visible = false;
I can't use it because of GridView1.Columns.Count is 0. So how can I hide them ?

I have a GridView bound to a DataTable that I construct. Most columns in the table contain the raw HTML for a hypelinklink, and I would like that HTML to render as a link in the browser, but the GridView is automatically encoding the HTML, so it renders as markup.
How can I avoid this without explicitly adding HyperLink, or any other, columns?

I am currently working on a module in which I am creating an auto generated column gridview, and I have set the Auto generate edit button field to true. What happens now when I click the edit button The primary key field is turned in to edit mode which I want to restrict from being updated.
To restrict the same I have hard coded a template field which holds that column, But as I have set the AutoGenerateColumns Property to true the gridview automatically creates a duplicate field for holding the primary key column. For which I want to delete that particular column.
My Designer Code is:-

in page load I am binding the grid view.
Even I have tried to hide that column doesn't make any difference for me.

I have a gridview which has autogenerate Columns Property "TRUE", and i'm dynamically binding this gridview with columns with sql database dataset. there is no data in sql but i am successful in showing blank gridview on form, now i want textboxes in gridview attached with each column, so i wrote code in RowDataBound which generates textbox automatically and assigns ID to each textbox, nw i want to insert that data from textbox to database but i'm not getting text which is entered in those textboxes, as i am accessing that textboxes using findcontrol and passing the id like gridview1_ctl03_text0. but i''m not getting any value from textbox?
In short i want to access auto generated textbox (with out any id predefined ) values from footer of gridview

Currently, I am programming a web-based application with Visual Studio.NET 2003, and having a problem with an err below :
An error has occurred because a control with auto-generated id 'dgPreventiveMaintenanceSchedule:_ctl5:_ctl3' could not be located to raise a postback event. To avoid this error, explicitly set the ID property of controls that raise postback events.
That err occurs while I am rendering my datagrid for certain data. In the other words, it occasionally happens.
I've been trying to debug one by one, but I still don't any clues for this kind of err.

1. ROBERT
2. EMILIA
3. JOSE
When I remove the column to 2 EMILIA, then display in gridview 1. ROBERT 3. JOSE.
Coding that I got when I remove emilia then display in gridview 1.ROBERT 2.JOSE .. (sequence automatically)
private void Bindemptydt() {
//Declare a datatable for the gridview
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
//Add Columns to the datatable
dt.Columns.Add("COLUMN");
dt.Columns.Add("TEXT");

I have a simple online web system where it possible for the visitors to "play around" with the system. They can like create categories and products and so forth. Everything they create are stored into a database.
What I want is to be able to reset this database with my default values (table data) every n hours.
So for example if we have a bunch of users that have played with the system and created new things. Then I want to be able to make some kode that deletes all data in the tables in this database and fill it with default data. The default data can come from a backup file, or another database with same tables structure or whatever.
I want this task to be done every day at 12 pm or every n hour.
Is this possible (by forexample scheduled webservice tasks or just something as long as it is simple).

Does anyone know how I can add a header text to an auto generated select button?

In a database table, let's say I have a non-null field named "Description" with a default value of (''). If I drag this table onto the .dbml view in Visual Studio and click on the Description field, the properties will indicate that the Auto Generated Value is set to false, thus ignoring my default value of (''). This is fine, as long as I always explicitly set a value for Description when I perform an insert/update, but I ran into a problem today when I tried to do an insert without specifying a value for Description: Cannot insert NULL value into Description. The default value I set for the field was being ignored. To try and fix this error, I went back into the .dbml and set Auto Generated Value to true, and tried again - no error this time, but the data I tried to insert was ignored, and the default value, (''), was inserted instead. I do not want to explicitly set every field to a default value programmatically when I perform inserts. Is there any other way to resolve this issue other than making the fields nullable?

Background: I'm populating lots of asp.net c# GridViews and ListViews from a database and subsequently users may export them to Excel. I want export as native Excel (not html). I can't use office automation, and I'm using JET which works fine. I have no control over users' machines. Question: When doing the export, you have to tell Jet what type each field is, in my case "text" (varchar) or "numeric" (double). The difference is that if you export a numeric column, the users can sum the data in Excel, where as strings are exported with a leading apostrophe and so are not much use in arithmetic.
Currently I parse the first data row of the Grid/ListView, check if each value is numeric or text, and assign a type to the column accordingly. That works, except for when I have something in the first column which looks numeric but in fact is a text string. I don't want to parse every row in order to be sure I have the correct data type as some of these exports are quite large. When I load the Grid/ListView from the database, the database certainly knows what type each field is. So my question is... how do I extract the type of the database item behind a a Grid/ListView item? I could explicitly code it as an attribute on the item, but that's duplicating information I already have, if only I can get to it. I know that where I have a DataTable then I can get the underlying type from that, but mostly I don't have tables handy, just the Grid/ListView. Note that Jet will throw if you try to insert an empty string into a nullable numeric column. The way to do this is to omit that column name from the insert statement, or output a zero.
