Forms Data Controls :: Dynamically Created Repeater Control
Dec 1, 2010
What I am trying to achieve:I am trying to take the value of the selected index and depending on what this value is (e.g. the case selection in the code below) run a different query on the dataset and then create a repeater control dynamically to output each row with an item template
that I can use css to style.
In other words: When a user choses a list item it shows only rows from the dataset that match the list item chosen. For example if a user choses Closed Tickets they only see rows from the dataset that have a STATUS of 'CLOSED'.
What I have done so far: [Code]....
What I'm struggling with at the moment is:
1) That the case selection works but the selection of the appropriate data from the dataset doesn't seem to be happening. And this data isn't getting stored in rows as I had hoped.
2) I'm not sure entirely how to display the dynamically created repeater control in the admin.aspx page.
To be fair, this is a part two follow up to Using C# to recursively get a collection of controls from a controlcollection. - and rather than heap another question onto the old one, I created a new one. Here is the code that I'm using:
private void GetControlList<T>(ControlCollection controlCollection, ref List<T> resultCollection) where T : Control { foreach (Control control in controlCollection) [code]...
and is involked like this when the form is submitted
List<CheckBox> checkboxes = new List<CheckBox>(); GetControlList(RepeaterCapability.Controls, ref checkboxes);
I don't get any results when I clearly added several during the repeater OnItemDataBound event.
I have tried binding images to repeater from one folder called images . But now, I am trying to bind the repeater with different folder's images, based on which menu item is clicked like "Wedding", "Birthday". When "Wedding" is clicked then it repeater should be loaded from Wedding folder's images similarly with "Birthday".
Currently i am using following code to load from single folder.
if { Repeater1.DataSource = di.GetFiles(); Repeater1.DataBind(); (!IsPostBack)string imgDir = Server.MapPath("~/images");DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(imgDir);
I've got a repeater that's used to display the output of a dynamic report that takes criteria from webcontrols on the page. Within the repeater's ItemDataBound method I'm adding controls (Linkbuttons for sorting by column values) dynamically to the header of the repeater based on values selected in a checkbox list and at this point setting the CommandArgument and CommandName properties of the linkbuttons.
The issue is that when the linkbuttons are clicked they don't fire the ItemCommand event although they are clearly being correctly created and added to the header (there is some additional code to set the cssClass, text etc. and this works as expected.) The first column header in the repeater is set in the markup and the itemcommand event fires correctly on this one only. When the other column headers are clicked the repeater rebinds as programmed, but the columns are not dynamically re-generated.

I have a page with a couple of RequiredFieldValidators, each in its own ValidationGroup. One of the RequiredFieldValidator controls is inside a Datalist and the submit button triggers the relevant DataList_ItemCommand. It works just dandy until I add the ValidationGroup to the button, at which point clicking on the button no longer fires the DataList_ItemCommand event. Here is the HTML
[Code]....
Note that the ValidationGroup name is there, and it is unique. No other ValidationGroups exist with that name. As it stands, this code does NOT fire the DataList_ItemCommand event, so no update occurs. However if I remove the ValidationGroup declaration from the Button control, the event fires properly.
i have a repeater with a button in the footer template which i want to be able to update any of the items that are added (update quantites/totals/delete the item). however the 'UpdateOrderDetails' event never fires when the button is clicked. here is the code within the repeater...
<ItemTemplate> <tr> <td> <asp:CheckBox ID="chkDelete" runat="server" /> <asp:HiddenField ID="hidProduct_Key" runat="server" /> </td> <td><asp:Literal ID="ltlProduct_Name" runat="server" /></td> <td><asp:Literal ID="ltlProductOption_Size" runat="server" /></td> <td><asp:Literal ID="ltlProductOption_Code" runat="server" /></td> <td><asp:TextBox ID="txtQuantity" runat="server" /></td> <td><asp:Literal ID="ltlItemPrice" runat="server" /></td> <td><asp:Literal ID="ltlLineTotal" runat="server" /></td> </tr> </ItemTemplate> <FooterTemplate> <asp:Panel ID="pnlFooter" runat="server" Visible="False"> <tr id="trTotalExVAT" runat="server"> <td colspan="6">Total (ex VAT)</td> <td><asp:Literal ID="ltlTotalExVAT" runat="server" /></td> </tr> <tr id="trVAT" runat="server"> <td colspan="6">VAT</td> <td><asp:Literal ID="ltlVAT" runat="server" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <asp:Button ID="btnUpdate" OnClick="UpdateOrderDetails" Text="Update" runat="server" /> </td> <td>Delivery</td> <td><asp:Literal ID="ltlDelivery" runat="server" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="6">Total</td> <td><asp:Literal ID="ltlTotal" runat="server" /></td> </tr> </asp:Panel> </table> </FooterTemplate> the 'updateorderdetails' event in code behind is here Public Sub UpdateOrderDetails(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As RepeaterCommandEventArgs) For Each objRepeaterItem As RepeaterItem In rptOrderDetails.Items Select Case objRepeaterItem.ItemType Case ListItemType.AlternatingItem, ListItemType.Item Dim chkDelete As CheckBox = objRepeaterItem.FindControl("chkDelete") Dim hidProduct_Key As HiddenField = objRepeaterItem.FindControl("hidProduct_Key") Dim txtQuantity As TextBox = objRepeaterItem.FindControl("txtQuantity") ' check for deletion or update If chkDelete.Checked Then Me.Basket.RemoveProduct(hidProduct_Key.Value) Else ' check for update If IsNumeric(txtQuantity.Text) AndAlso CInt(txtQuantity.Text) >= 0 Then Me.Basket.Products(hidProduct_Key.Value).Quantity = txtQuantity.Text End If End If End Select Next ' update order details BindOrderDetails() End Sub but this procedure is never called when the button is clicked, so wondered what i need to do to get this working </textarea></p> <input type='hidden' name='ID[5]' value='49574' /> <input type='hidden' name='URL[5]' value='http://forums.asp.net/t/1522852.aspx' /> <input type='hidden' name='CAT[5]' value='Web Forms' /> <input type='hidden' name='BOARD[5]' value='microsoft' /> <input type='hidden' name='P_DATE[5]' value='Feb 07, 2010 06:01 AM' /> <input type='hidden' name='RANDOM[5]' value='OoKSV9VFH' /> <input type='hidden' name='REPLIES[5]' value='3' /> <input type='hidden' name='USER[5]' value='aziz' /> <p><input class=subject type='text' size='90' name='SUBJECT[5]' value='Web Forms :: ItemCommand not get fire of datalist in IE' /><select name='INDEXED[5]'><option value='1' selected>UPDATE</option><option value='2'>DELETE</option></select>Feb 07, 2010 06:01 AM - Replies: 3 CAT: Web Forms<a target=_blank href="http://forums.asp.net/t/1522852.aspx">View</a></p> <p> <textarea rows=10 cols=100 name='POST[5]' onfocus='setSelRange(this, 0, 0)'/>
I have imagebutton inside datalist.....the problem is that onclick event of serverside not get executed for only IE ..but its work fine for mozzila....i m not getting what wrong in this code.
I have a page that I am creating 5 separate GridViews on, depending on the button the user clicks, a different GridView will show up. On a few of the GridView's there is a need for paging, so in the CodeBehind I did the following billingGridView.ID = "BillingGridView"
I am new to asp.net. I am trying to display some data from a database table using dynamic table in my page. I want to add checkboxes to a field in the database and would like to perform several tasks based on the values checked. The checkboxes are tied with the primary key field of the database. Here is the code snipet :
[Code]....
Now I have a button in my page. The functioanlity which I desire is on clicking that button I should be able to extract the values of checked checkboxes and perform some function.
I have created one user control in which I have taken a gridview. Columns of this gridview are getting generated dynamically. (i.e. I read Column name from Xml file) But now I want my first coloumn of this gridview as a checkbox field.
I have a database with some data in. Now I'm trying to show that data on my page whit a ListView.
For each object from the database a ListView will generate a dropdownlist.
I also have a DataPager on my page and this is where the problem occurs.
Each object generated from the database has a field that may look like this example.: 1,2,3.
In my code now I´m trying to split this string of comma character and add new items to my dropdownlist.
This works as long as I do not have DataPager on. But if I choose to view an x number of pages at the time when the page loads, I have value in the dropdownlists, only on my first page.
I want to create a gridview with the first column being the Job Number and then a variable number of subsequent column which are fordates. This grid is a data entry for hours worked on a particular date for a particular job. I wrote the code to get the correct number of columns and column headers but I am having trouble getting textboxes into the grid cells.
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { #region constants
i am working on Accounting software.in this software i am to implement voucher entries form.In this form on page load a table (two rows and four columns) should be created after that one row should be appended to that table dynamically on button click event.
I have a listview control which is created dynamically, it is nested inside a repeater's itemtemplate. I'm trying to attach a datapager to it, which is also created dynamically but the datapager will not display and the listview will just display all its records in its entirety.
I have a menu. I use the menu's menuitemclick event to create a gridview (several actually) that is then added to a panel for display.The gridview paints perfectly until I try to add paging.I have successfully used paging and sorting declaratively for years, but this is my first attempt to do everything in code.When the gridview tries to databind, it throws an error:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView.get_StateFormatter() +25 System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView.BuildCallbackArgument(Int32 pageIndex) +56
I am creating a project that dynamically creates radiobuttons. So far, i'm done with creating those radiobuttons dynamically. My problem is getting the values from those radiobuttons. To get those values, I need to click the submit button, however it seems that the radiobutton value or the radiobutton itself is lost after I click the submit button.
here are my codes, though not my exact codes, it follows the same logic...
I'm creating an quiz application which queries the database and extracts the questions and choices. I use dynamically created controls such as a checkbox list and fill the values dynamically. How do I do this? Right now I have these functions:
array_random_init(); this creates a 10 element integer array from 1-20 - extract_question(i): this extracts a question indexed at i in DB, I created the controls and set the appropriate text in this function. - validate_question(i); this is called by button_click and validates the question i according to DB.
I understand I have to recreate the controls in Page_init on postback, but what should it look like? Do I need to add "if IsPostBack" in page_init, or do I create the controls in page_init() and reset their properties in page_load when I use extract_question(i)? Also, I cannot seem to clear the selected boxes on postback, I added page directive "enableviewstate=false" but it doesn't work.
i want to to replace the hyperlinkfield with a template field that contains a hyperlink WITH ID where hyperlinkfield does not have ID and be bound to the same datasource above because i want to make the abililty to set the navigate url attribute using rowdatabound

Im basically listing a set of facilities in a datagrid. Like so:b Projectorcb Laptopcb TelevisonIn roomview, a check appears where a facility is availble in a room. This part works fine.The user can then edit the facilities, by clicking on the check beside each facility. When the update button is pushed I need to record the value of the checkbox, however I cant get the value of the checkbox.eres my codebehind:

We are creating html Table dynamically on the basis of data fetched from database and assigned id to each Cell while creating them dynamically. But the problem is how to access values in Cell. Because we are not able to get id of Runtime generated TD.
