Forms Data Controls :: Casting From Generic IList To Object During DataBind?
Feb 18, 2010
Okay, so I have a Generic IList of custom objects that I want to use as a datasource for a repeater.
[Code]....
In the WebForm inside the repeater, I place this code:
[Code]....
when I try to run it, I get the error "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[MyCustomObject]' to type'MyCustomObject'. ". Which makes sense, really.
What's the best way round this? Is there any way I can get the direct cast working? I'm loath to have to create a custom list item that implements IBinding or something and bind that directly, as that'll mean a lot of legacy changes which may create further bugs. Or is there a better way?

i'm having a gridview with textboxes and i'm allowing user to enter all the textboxes and when submit button is clicked, I'm constructing the Object and adding all the rows to LIST class.,After that i'm putting that LIST elements in a session. Everything is fine, But when i try to cast the session object to LIST type and pass it to XML serialization, I cannot see the elements in the list and it is showing LIST as NULL. I can see the generated XML string with ROOT and my classname as attributes without no data.
Here is the below code:

How do I accept an 'object' as a Datasource (IEnumerable or IList) and loop through the keys/values? I want to be able to pass anything that implements either IEnumerable or IList.
This same functionality exists on all of the .Net DataBound controls and I'm trying to figure out how it's done.

I use the DetailsView control to display selected employee's data for HR. The list of data elements has gotten pretty long so I thought I'd put some tables & panels inside the ItemTemplate and EditTemplate. Testing with NO code behind in effect works perfectly on display & update. Now I need to manipulate some stuff in the code behind which requires me to cast the controls I'm after. However old cast code doesn't work (it says the row index doesn't exist).
First is a clip of the DetailsView which gives me 3 nice columns.

I am trying to create a generic list of objects using reflection. The below code throws an error Cannot create an instance of an interface. . I could change the IList to List and it works fine, but I was wondering if there is way to get this working with an IList.
var name = typeof (IList<T>).AssemblyQualifiedName;
Type type = Type.GetType(name);
var list = Activator.CreateInstance(type);

I have a situation where I'm iterating through all the controls on a form, specifically looking out for any of these three types of controls: Labels, TextBoxes, CheckBoxes
I can, of course, get the type of the control and then use a Switch-Case construct to cast labels as Labels, textboxes as TextBoxes, and checkboxes as CheckBoxes.
But I'm wondering if there's a way to do something with one or two lines of code to gain access to the Text property of each of these controls?

I am pulling a 'long' value from Session, using a generic property, and it is crashing. so I have:
public static T Get<T>(string key)
{
if(...)
return (T)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session[key];
...
}
When debugging, the value is 4, and it crashes.

The following code gives error: "When casting from a number, the value must be a number less than infinity."
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="DATE" SortExpression="date1">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server"
SelectedDate='<%# Bind("date1") %>' VisibleDate='<%# Eval("date1") %>'>
</asp:Calendar>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="Date1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("date1") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
The error occurs at the line <asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1"...>
It errors because there are records with null value for date1 when the records are returned from the database.
Is there a way to specify in the .aspx file telling it to ignore null or display null/blank?

I am trying hard to update a business object inside a List<>.
I am using a checkbox list
When a checkbox list item is clicked I check if it exists, if yes I mark it as Dirty (means the user unchecks an item)If not, I add a new item to the list (means the user clicks a new item)and store it in view state
How do I update the Generic List with the Dirty Object ?
On form update, do I foreach and make separate lists of dirty and new objects to send to DB layer or would you recommend any other way ?
Here is my code.
protected void cblExclusions_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (cblExclusions.SelectedIndex != -1)
{
ftExclusions myExclusion=new ftExclusions(); // Business object

I have worked a lot with gridviews, etc, but I am relatively new to Repeaters and I have a page that uses a Repeater to display records from a SQL Database. By default the date in the SQL field is 01/01/1900. I need to format the dateSHAWSTART & dateSHAWEND in my repeater so that if the date is 01/01/1900 that the fields should be blank. Here is my VB Code Behind:
