Forms Data Controls :: Changing Data In A Gridview During Databinding Or After Databound?
Feb 2, 2010
im building a simple message messenger web application, i currently have a column in my database dedicated to the status of a message. Its bound to the third column in a datagrid.
After converting the column to a TemplateField and using a Label to fetch the data how do i change the text from the database to a small message, e.g. if the data in the database (as an interger) is 0. how do i change the interger to a string to display "UnRead". Do i need to do this during the databinding call or after the grid has been databound?
I know it would be easier to use a boolean and checkbox control but the interger column represents more values than true or false.
I have a very simple form that contains a FormView Control Bound with a SqlDataSource, The DefaultMode of the FormView control is "Insert". I noticed that when I run the page for the first time, the databinsing and databound events of the FormView Control occurs after the PreRender Event of the page ! I know very well the life cycle of a page, but I dont know when the data binding occurs in the life cycle of a page and if it can differ from a control to another.
Is there an article or a tutorial explaining all those things.
I have a gridview which I have databinded via the quick config facility, but I need to databind one column to a completely different sql table data field - how do I do this?
If I go into Gridview tasks and select the column and edit the data binding parameter but what is the format for a table outside the source definition for the the rest of the gridview?
I am facing certain problems with the data formatting in GridView when the data is bound dynamically to it.
I have a DateTime column and want to only show Date from it and not the time.
Another Decimal type column which accepts decimal upto 4 places, I want to show decimal upto the places defined in the particular value (don't know how to put it in the correct way, but here is an example of what I want).
i.e.
1.0000 should be displayed as 1 after the databound in the gridview.
I have a gridview in which I have two drop downs. One is populated with values that are static, so I have a regular sub that does that in the code behind. I tried to add code for databinding the other ddl to a datatable. I cannot get this to work. It just comes up empty. My asp code is fine, and the datatable definately has data in it - just nothing gets populated.
One other thing - the code for the static ddl has worked fine, but when I add this other block (either to the same sub as that, or dow the rowdatabound event) the static one doesn't work either.
I have a GV & a FV both linked to same sqldatasource.
When a GV row is clicked, the FV becomes available for editing the row but the GV as a result is reduced to only that row. I want to GV to remain showing all rows. I am using GV selected_index event to invoke "SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand=
I am having issues with databinding a textbox within a tab within a gridview. The textbox displays the data information properly; however when I try to edit a row in my gridview anything I type within that textbox is not saved in the database. Also my other fields for my gridview are editable, I am only having issues with this textbox within a tab. Here is the code:
I was wondering what would be the best pratice to databind a gridview programmatically.Normally i put my databind code in the page_load() but is there a way to reduce the number of times the databind method is called?I mean... the page_load() method seem to be called a lots of times when doing callbacks with the grid.
I'm trying to extend the GridView control to enable sorting and paging for any situation.
When using my control I am fetching data from a database and filling a DataSet with it, then binding the GridView upon every page load. My first question would be, is this the correct approach?
To sort the GridView I am overriding the OnSorting method which stores the sort expression and direction in the ViewState, then creates a DataView and utalises the Sort method to sort the underlying data. It then sets the Data Source to this DataView and rebinds the GridView.
Paging is handled by OnPageIndexChanging which simply sets the PageIndex property and again rebinds the GridView.
My problem is; when any control causes a postback my GridView is no longer sorted, presumably because it is persistently rebound. If I don't rebind it then the GridView is empty on postback since the data isn't automatically stored in the ViewState. I have considered saving the data source in the ViewState but I would assume that this is bad practice for large amounts of data? - also DataViews are not seralisable.
The only solution I can think of currently is to override OnDataBound and sort the data every time. This results in a double sort when paging triggers a postback which seems inefficient. Code illustration of this below,
[Code]....
I'm looking for the cleanest 'best practice' solution as this is a learning exercise more than anything else.
I have a gridview with dropdown boxes. As soon as the complete gridview is databound, I want to loop through ALL the rows and set the values of the dropdown boxe in a row based on the value of another column in the same row. The gridview is databound, all data shows up. The condition "If ddl.Items(j).Value = searchstring Then" evaluates as true, but somehow the selected item in the dropdownbox is NOT changed and remains "<ignore>"
I am trying to create a Gridview in which I can update the Project Officer name in the Gridview from a DropDownList.
The Project Officer DDL comes from a seperate query (SqlProjectOfficerName) as the other information (SqlDataSource1)... as you can see below.
When I select EDIT, the DDL appears and I can select from the list of Project Officers, but when I select UPDATE, the name of the Project Officer doesnot change.
review the code below and assist as appropriate to write the Project Officer's name back to the table.
i have to a grid view and the datasource for it is a table coming from the database the table containing sequence numbers for example if the sequence number is 1 then i want to add a row just above this saying it is the start , the entire row should give some information .
i tried to find related thing but no luck, waiting for some replies to move further
I need to be able to get the value in the "first" row of a Gridview as its getting or right after it is displayed.
I thought this would work but its coming up null.
I'm using the DataBound event to get the value of the control of a selected row...assuming the selected row is the first row which is probably the error of my ways. Any ideas how to get at this value easily?
I have two gridviews, where the first is databound to a sql table (but does not display the primary key info), and want to filter the data displayed on the second gridview by using the primary key info from the first gridview table, indicated by the selected row in the first gridview - how I could achieve this? its kind of like using the gridviews as a menu and sub menu display!
I want to created a messaging system and to display the messages. I want to use a gridview. My problem is how can I display the new messages in BOLD rows and the readed messages in normal text.
I put a sql statement into the textbox,then the result will be bound to the gridview in the page. first time,sql statement is "selecte * from A(B)",and the gridview is ok. second time,sql statement is "selecte * from B(A)",then the gridview will throw a exception the exception is "A field or property with the name 'aa' was not found on the selected data source. i have two tables A and B."
I want to make a link in databound data which is stockQtt. How can I do that? and I want target is blank and the link page is AdjStock.aspx below is coding.
The original Item Template was Enabled ="false" I changed this so that you did not have to set the row to a state of edit in order to just select a row. I enabled it so that you could "select" any row with out putting it in a state of edit. the only value changing is if its selected or not. What i am trying to do is use the Data Source Update method to update the bit in the database based on the check box. Currently Update() returns 0. I believe this is because the row/feild is not marked as changed so the Data Source does not see it as something that needs to be updated.
What I am hoping for out of this is post is a way that the rows whom check value has changed to be marked as changed/edited so that the data source will update the database with the values of the check boxes. If all rows are updated this is acceptable as well. I know this is a super simple solution but i have been out of the .NET for a little bit.
I have a gridview which i have enabled paging. When i select a page in the footer, the page postbacks, and I lose all data.I am lost on how to enable paging and maintain the data in the table.I manually insertthe information into a datatable then bind because of the way i have to get the information.Here is what I have so far: [Code]...
I have a stored procedure (For Eg: sp_GetAvlData) that accepts a number of parameters, 3 of which are TimeFrom, TimeTo (as varchar) and TimeInterval (as int), formulates a Dynamic query and executes itself. So for instance, if I call the proc as follows:
[code]....
dtAvl is the datatable containing the results of my stored procedure.
The next step for me is to make each of the cells (except the cells in the first column) as a Hyperlink so that when clicked upon a cell, it populates 2 textboxes with the selected Timeslot and Name or ID (ID field is not displayed in Gridview). The textboxes are located on the same page but outside of the Gridview control.
The Challenge that I'm facing out here are:
1) As you can see, the field names being generated are not fixed and I have no control over them.
2) Because the field names are not fixed I'm not sure I can implement this using the Templatefields or BoundFields of Gridview.
Is there any way to achieve the Hyperlinking of these cells within the Gridview?
