Forms Data Controls :: Button To Set DetailsView In "New" Mode?
Oct 8, 2010
How would I go about coding a button that would set a DetailsView in the "New" mode? (all fields blank and preferably place the cursor in the first field to be entered). I have the Insert mode turned on in the DetailsView but want to add a button outside of the DetailsView that would do the same thing.
I'm really struggling with this. How do I display my data with radio buttons in a detail view and bind it to my datasource like I've done with the textbox? The database values are int {yes = 1, no = 0, na = -1}. I want my user to be able to quickly update the radiobuttons instead.I'm working in C#.
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.
How do I set the value of a field in a detailsview to the selectedvalue of a gridview on the same page? I am also trying to set today date as value of another field in the detailsview as well as UserID. I wrote the following codebehind for the date setting:
TextBox tb = (TextBox)DetailsView2.FindControl("TextBoxCreDate"); tb.Text=System.DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString(); TextBoxCreDate is a template field in my DetailsView.
Unfortunately, I get a Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Error message.
I am trying to "reset" the DetailsView in View1 to ReadOnly mode if the user changes the index in RadioButtonList. Currently, it is working correctly for the first pass and second pass, but fails at the third pass. I want it to just cycle through the DetailsVIewdatabound event, but the cycle breaks on the third pass and I'm not sure why?
I am trying to handle the detailsview programmatically but I don't know what I am doing wrong. My details view control isn't going into edit mode. My code for my gridview's select button properly loads the data into the detailsview but once the detailsview renders clicking on "Edit" doesn't switch the detailsview contol into edit mode.
This code draws the information from my database and loads the information into the dataview:
[Code]....
This code is in my dvTeamDetails_ItemCommand sub and the beep works:
I guess I'm not sure exactly how or where to do what I need.
First off - here's what I need - - when the user clicks on the NEW button in the detailsView, I have the User.Identity.name captured in a variable and I need to set one of the textboxes (InsertItemTemplate) named 'txtNew' to that name.
I've tried using the ModeChanging (and ModeChanged) event: Dim dv As TextBox = CType(DetailsView1.FindControl("txtNew"), TextBox) If (e.NewMode = DetailsViewMode.Insert) Then ....
However, no matter what, 'dv' always shows as 'Nothing', so I can't change the text of it.
I currently have a page that is used to insert or update records in a DetailsView using an EntityDataSource control. Insert is working perfectly. However, Updating is not. I have the default view set to insert. In PageLoad, I have:
[Code]....
However, the DetailsView always defaults to the first record in the table rather than the record with ID that is equal to the ID querystring parameter. I am not sure how to make it select the correct record. From spending a while researching, it looks like I might need to use a QueryExtender control on the Entity DataSource, but haven't been able to figure out how to configure the QueryExtender correctly.
There is also perhaps some sort of datasource="stuff", databind() that I could toss in there but again.. not really sure how to proceed.
I have a SQL DB with just 2 fields, ID and TEXT.What i was trying to do, was placing a Detailsview in EDIT MODE, then selecting from the DB like SELEC TOP 1 Text FROM DB.Then i placed a Ajax HTML Editor in the template field.How can i, keep the HTML Editor on the page, and use it for INSERT and/OR EDITING ?e.g.: on the first time the user opens the site management page, it will be blank, so it will show the HTML with no text on it. but the bottom button will be UPDATE and CANCEL. So when he enters the TEXT he clicks on UPDATE.
I have a gridview and detailsview that are connected. When I delete records everything works fine except when I delete the last record in the gridview. I want the detailsview to revert to insert mode when I delete the last row in the gridview. Instead the detailsview shows up blank. I want to show the detailsview in insert mode after last row in grid has been deleted? How can do I this?
A DetailsView in Insert mode has all fields cleared after events such as the following:
1. Clicking New. 2. Clicking Cancel. 3. Clicking Insert (if the default mode is Insert).
I have some fields linked to ViewState and they are populatd at PreRender event handler. I am wondring if there is a single place where all relevant ViewState elements can be cleared instead of doing this in all possible relevant handlers such as ItemCreated, ItemCanceled, ItemInserted, etc.
I have a detailsview on my page binding a table with information about the employees. They can update their information. Some info should be visible but not updateable. I could change the update command not updating but I like the control where I can set the column to read only. In that way the employee will find the data visible and they will see that the field/column cannot be changed. But having the column read only will return a null-value into that column when editing and updating anything. Why is that? Shouldn't it just update it's read only value?
I have some ImageField in my DetailsView and when I changed it to Insert mode then ImageField is also became the textbox that allow you to type something, and my question is how I can make ImageField to be read only when I changed DetailsView to Insert mode?
I have a DetailsView within an UpdatePanel. I programmatically put the DetailsView into edit mode, change the fields then call the UpdateItem method which causes the "must be in edit mode to update a record" exception. Am I missing something blindingly obvious?
On my DetailsView for inserting, I have a field "manager code". When the user types in the code, I want another field "manager name" to be populated based on a lookup table in the database. I have done this on a FormView using code behind and "ontextchanged". How can I do this in DetailsView?
I want to click a new record button and my modal pop up pop up and my DetailsView is inside it. The reason I want to do this is so I don't have load it on page load since it will make my page slow, and secondly bcause this detailsview is used for new record and has a lot of validation controls so I have another method for my main GridView on whose select method I pop another DetailsView to edit tht row and that DetailsView has a validation method who won't allow any control on page that isn't validatd. So obviously if I load this new record (this is the 2nd DetailsView) on page load, that other GridView I won't jbe able to edit since that method won't be true since this new record DetailsView boxes will not be validated if they are blank.
So to get around this, I made the modal pop up panel invisible and the new record DetailsView visible=false so it doesn't render on page load but rather on button click. So all I want to do is click newj record button and this pop up panel pops and my DetailsView shows up. Right now it seems to load, but nothing shows. This is what I have:
