Forms Data Controls :: DetailsView Accessing Textbox Through Code Behind?

Jan 25, 2010

I've been playing with a certain detailsview for most of last week. This particular control is located within a panel that is hidden until a user clicks a linkbutton on a gridview. Then the panel's visible property is set to true and the detailsview is populated based on the commandargument passed through the link button. What I've discovered is that with each postback, the datakey or control parameter, still not sure which or if both, is lost. I've discovered a lot about ViewState and how controls work and am a bit surprised that something as common as using a detailsview within a gridview wouldn't be handled better than it is now. I have been able to get the proper information to build a correct select statement when the user decides to edit a record. I am now working on an update statement, but for some reason while I have the right key to update the right record, I am unable to access the user-generated data that was entered in the details view.

For instance, I select record with ID of 1 in the gridview. It pulls up the detailsview and I can view it. I then click edit. The correct record is still there. (It was previously going to default). When I enter new text in a textbox and click update, the app still knows I am working with record #1 but doesn't seem to be able to find the textbox control. I have currently hard-coded a value into the field just to see if I could actually get the record to update and it did. I am using an OnInit to cause the sub to run and think this might be the problem. However, I have been unable to find a better way around this.

Here is the sub that executes on the OnInit() of the detailsview:

Protected Sub notes_binding()
If notesDetail.CurrentMode = DetailsViewMode.Edit Then
sqlNotesUpdate.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE [Oilchange_Notes] SET [notes] = '" & CType(notesDetail.FindControl("notes"), Textbox).Text & "' WHERE [vehicle_id] = " & Session("unitNumVal")
sqlNotesUpdate.UpdateCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text
sqlNotesUpdate.Update()
End If
sqlNotesUpdate.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [Oilchange_Notes] WHERE ([vehicle_id] = " & Session("unitNumVal") & ")"
End Sub

And this is the error I get: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. If I'm correct about why it's not pulling the actual value or even acknowledging the control exists and is actually 'notes' (it is), then at would point would be the best to place this code?

Forms Data Controls :: How To Empty A Textbox In Detailsview Codebehind

Oct 27, 2010

I have a detailsview with three textboxes as itemtemplates. Each for holding a different date. To avoid the option of users entering invalid values the textboxes are disabled and the user can use a calender control to fill the dates. Because the textboxes are disabled I added a linkbutton to empty a date, if the user decides to clear it.

Asp:

[Code]....
In the code behind is the following for linkbutton on click:

[Code]....

Now, the problem is that no matter which linkbutton a user clicks all three textboxes are cleared/emptied. Why?

Forms Data Controls :: Accessing Textbox Elements In GridView

Jul 12, 2010

I have a Gridview X in which there are 6 columns(5 template columns that are text boxes and 1 bound field). The user has the option of changing the value in the text boxes annd saving them. There is one more GridView Y that displays DB values(all 6 columns are bound fields). Initially X will show the values that being shown in Y, and when user changes the values in Y,he should be able to save it. If we are trying this using OnTextChanged event of asp:Textbox, there is a postback everytime the user makes a change in any of the textboxes. Instead i want it such a way that all the changed values should get concatenated together and should be sent to the DB.

Forms Data Controls :: Radiobuttonlist In DetailsView (Databinding In Code Behind)?

Jan 4, 2010

I have a radiobuttonlist in a details view. Databinding is happening in PageLoad (if not IsPostback), after a details view item is inserted, edited and upon clicking cancel when in edit mode.Everything works well except when clicking cancel which for some reason the radiobuttonlist appears as empty. The code is surely working because up till OnPreRender the radiobuttonlist contains the required items. However OnRender the list appears as empty.

Forms Data Controls :: DetailsView - Set Textbox Text When Going To Insert Mode?

Jan 19, 2011

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.

Where do I put the logic and what am I missing?

Forms Data Controls :: DetailsView - Binding Datafield To TextBox On Update?

Jun 29, 2010

I have a bound field in a DetailsView that I want updated with the contents of TextBox2.Text when I update. I have TextBox2 set AutoPostBack True. Cannot remember how to move the contents on update. I tried converting the "Description_Update" to a template field without success.

I can copy and paste the contents of TextBox2 into the DetailsView and it does update as do the other DataFields.

<asp:TextBox
ID="TextBox2"
runat="server"
Height="80px"
TextMode="MultiLine" Width="360px"
Font-Size="Small"
MaxLength="120"
Text=""
Font-Names="Calibri" AutoPostBack="True"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:BoundField
DataField="Description_Update"
HeaderText="Descrip"
SortExpression="Description_Update"
/>

Do I need to use adn Eval or DataBind function or both. I have triued several combinations and do nothing but continue to butcher the database tables.

Forms Data Controls :: Accessing Textbox Inside ItemTemplate Of Gridview?

May 17, 2010

I've been searching all day for a solution to this, but nothing has worked.

Here's my scenario: I'm binding the gridview to a datatable. One of the columns is a textbox that will accept user input.

When a "submit" button is clicked, I need to loop through all the rows, get the textbox's text, and add them all together. Simple, right?

I've tried the following (this is on the "submit" button's click event):

[Code]....

The itemtemplate looks like this:

The txtDays.Text property is ALWAYS empty. UNLESS I assign it a value w/in the control. But then it's ALWAYS that value. I need to get the value of what the user enters.

Forms Data Controls :: Set Text Property Of TextBox In DetailsView To Query String Value?

Sep 19, 2010

I'm tyring to write a simple DetailsView only used for inserting new records that will pre-fill a textbox with a query string value. Here's the DetailsView:

[code]....

All I want to do is set VenueID_FK.Text to = the "VenueID" querry string. I also want the user to be able to see the VenueID number as they are filling out GridView1.

I know this is probably a simple thing, but I am very new to asp.net. I thought I could handle this in the page load event, but when I try something like this

TextBox VenueID_FK = (TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("VenueID_FK");

And then follow by setting the Text property programitically. I've accomplished something similar to this on a different page using a FormView, but only for ReadOnly mode and it was handled in the databound event on that page.

I get the error "The name 'DetailsView1' doesn't exist in the current context." when trying to do the above mentioned. When trying the same line in the databound event here, I get the same error.
