I know how to bind a simple objects to a dropdown list. However I am having problems binding my objects which contains sub objects to the control.i.e. with simple object i just do ddl.DataValueField = "myproperty"
with my objects they contains sub objects which i want to bind. I have tried ddl.DataValueField = "sub-object.myproperty" which doesnt work.
have some Objects, lets say Employee and Role defined as below and I have defined relationships in my database that gives me a list of objects say employees and thanks to my framework each employee object also has a Role object linked via the RoleIDID, UserName, Password, Email, RoleIDRoleID, RoleNameSo in code I can do something like this
Employee emp = dataService_GetEmployeeByID(1);
string RoleName = emp.Role.RoleName;
Now here is my problemI can bind any object in a repeater and it works fine for the first level in my relationship
For instance <%# Eval("UserName") %>
But I need to be able to show the details for my child objects as well (Role) so something like this (which does not work)
<%# Eval("Role.RoleName") %>
I have been reading alot about this and for some reason I am just not able to grasp the concept. Hopefully someone here can enlighten me.As an example situation I have a collection of strongly typed User objects that represent a database table, and some properties that represent its columns: UserID(PK), Username,FirstName,LastName, etc..Here are some of my requirements/goals:1. Users/Objects needs to be bound to the gridview programatically.2. I do not want to update the database right away, I only want the underlying collection to be updated. I would like to call the database update method myself when I am ready.
3. I do not want the primary key stored on the client side.Summary:So I bind a List<Users> to a gridview with the appropriate bound fields set up, I exlude bound fields such as primary key because I don't want it being changed/hacked by the client side. When I edit and update a row it is saved back to the collection of objects. I will iterate through the objects manually at a later time and commit them to database.
Questions:1. Can I cast a gridview row directly back to my object, in the RowUpdating or RowUpdated events? I am assuming I can't... So....2. How can I reference back my original collection if the gridview does not contain a primary key?3. Where do I store my collection, should it be in Session or should I recreate it on each postback?Sorry if any of this is confusing, let me know if you need clarification.
I have a List of Customers. Now I want to display these customers in a gridview and that is easy. I just set the datasource and use the databind method of the gridview. (I use template fields). But now I want to display FirstName and LastName of the customer as one column.I am aware of how to use the rowdatabound event to manipulate the gridviewrow's controls, but I am not sure how to gain access to the customer object within this method.So here is some code which of course not works.
protected void grdVirtualCustomers_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRow row = e.Row;
((Label) row.FindControl("lblName").).Text=Customer.FirstName + " " Customer.LastName;
}
I'm creating in my code a list of object which must be displayed later in a table.
In Winforms I'd simply bind the DataGridView to the list, and everything is fine.
However, when I try to set the GridView's data source to the list, nothing happens, and I can't find a way to do this with any of the procided data sources(Such as ObjectDataSource, etc.).
How can I bind a datalist control with a list of objects. I have a list of objects that contain a name, desc, and url for menu commands that I am trying to show in a DataList. I am getting the list from a WCF service so I have a list called something like menuList which consists of a List<MenuCommands>. I then do a menuDataList.DataSource = menuList and then a menuList.DataBind but nothing is happening. What am I missing here? I need to use a DataList because I need the commands to be selectable.

I'm working on a project in which we have a database, data layer (entity framework), business layer and web/UI layer.I want to use ASP.NET Dynamic Data for the web layer, but don't want it to access the data layer or database, as I want it to be purely running off business logic, and not directly accessing the data.However, it appears that Dynamic Data only allows Linq-to-SQL or entity framework data sources to be used.Has anyone used it with business-layer objects instead?
View 1 RepliesWith ASP.Net 4, is there any way that we can bind web-form controls to entity framework objects?
<asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server" BoundTo="UserName" BindingSource="..."></asp:TextBox>

form.UpdateModel(userObj),
form.DisplayModel(userObj)
How can I bind an object to a dropdown list or gridview ? I am writing an application where my code behind calls an instance and bind the list to either dropdown or gridview.For example:

Code Behind: default.VB

I have a List of complex objects containing other objects within that I give as the data source to a gridview.(currently I'm using BoundFields for the columns). I need to bind data to the columns from the objects within at run time. How can this be done?
View 1 Repliesfirstly a static class only ever exists once and is not an instance. Any static members (ie static int NoOfPeople;) is stored in one place and is shared between all sessions (like the old global variables).
Now static methods is where i'm not 100% sure. If I have a static method that doesn't use any other static members could this cause inconstant results, example (this is a fairly pointless method but just a quick example of the top of my head)
[Code]....
So in this example if two sessions (or threads) were to call this at the same time - would they both get back the expected results, because the method only uses private data (a, b and totalToReturn).Im sure this sounds a little simple but I will be using static methods to build user objects and various other objects that there will have to be a 100% garentee that the objects will not get mixed up between sessions and the wrong things return to the user.
I have a class that returns a list of "Category" Objects. I'd like to display them along the left-hand side of the page in a listview (if that's the best way to do it, even).
The category objects have normal attributes. Title, User, NumberOfProjects. I'd like to display both the title and the number of projects in this list.
Not worried about editability right now as we might make that separate (i.e. not in-line in a list view edit mode).
- i have two drop down lists- ddl_SelectClient, ddl_SelectApplication
- when a client is selected in ddl_SelectClient, i have to show the list of the clients applications in ddl_SelectApplication
- i have written the below code in the ddl_SelectClient_SelectedIndexChanged routine to do the same
- i am getting the error("Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack") in the catch block when the ddl_SelectApplication gets binded

I have a list of objects and I would like to create my own custom control that pages through the list using Jquery to make the Ajax calls to my pager methods. I've had some experience with Jquery but need a helping hand and I really don't want to use update panels etc. So the scenario is.....user clicks next, the C# method is called using Ajax, the code gets the relevant data and sends re-populates the UI with the next item in the list.

I have a List of objects in an asp.net page. when the page loads in the browser for the first time, I fetch data from the database, create objects with those data and populate the list. All these are done inside the page load event handler. Now when the page is posted back to the page, the previous list is gone, since the variables were all freed.
How can I cache that List, so that when this page is posted back, all my objects are available?
