Forms Data Controls :: Formatting Text Within Large Comment Field Stored In SQL Database?
Jun 15, 2010
I'm using ASP .NET C# 3.5. I have a multiline textbox on my web form that allows for the input of up to 5,000 characters from the end-user. This text is a basic description of a training course. I need to display it out in a clearly formatted way. For example, I need there to be bullets and bold text.
What I did was I chose certain (not often used) characters and then used the .Replace method when displaying the text in an <asp:Label>. If the text in the database contains the character '~' then I replace that with a line break <br />. If it contains '`' I replace that with <b> and if it contains '^' I replace that with </b>.
Is there a better way of doing this? It is working properly, and I'm displaying the text properly, but I know the end-user is going to hate typing text like this for formatting. I do want this all to stay database driven as well

I ran into this problem I'm sure someone else has similar encounter with, but just couldn't find a solution for it!
I want to disable few entries in the dropdownlist that's in the template field, depending on the value in BoundField when the gridview is being populated.
Below is my attempt:
[Code]....
JobStatus is the dropdownlist in the template field, and Status is the boundfield. In run time, the bolded line causes below exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. which I think is wingeing about null variable. Perhaps the templatefields are created after RowDataBound event?

I'm using a formatting expression with a template field. When the details view goes into edit mode the formatting is applied. It looks great because it applies the currency formatting. It shows up as "$60,000.00" instead of "60,000.0000". But then when I do the update it gets rejected because of the $. Is there a way to keep the formatting for the user to see in edit mode but remove the $ when doing the update so I don't get the error?
The error: Exception Details: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
template field:
[Code]....

I need to format this date time into the format Day/Month/Year on the same template field.
I am avoiding doing this under SQL server because that will mean changing my data type in my dataset to string instead of data time which i do not want.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Publish Date" SortExpression="PublishDate">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("PublishDate") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("PublishDate") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I have a listview control qith a datapager. I'm using a linkbutton for next and previous. I have a css class that makes the text Arial, and bold. It also sets the size to 10px. When I run the page, the link button is Arial and bold, but I can't change the size of the text. I've tried setting it to 10px, 8px, even 5px, 10pt, and xx-small. Nothing changes the font size. My customer wants the next and previous buttons to look a certain way. I'll have to manage paging manually if I can't get this figured out.

I want if the header of a particular column contains a word "S", the header and row turns red. I used following code to make header red and it works fine. How to make it such that the rows also turn red if condition is met ? I cannot hardcode in columns since the Gridview is autogenerate colums as data structure keeps changing.
Protected Sub GridView1_DataBound(ByVal sender
As
Object,
ByVal e
As System.EventArgs)Dim HeaderRow
As GridViewRow = GridView1.HeaderRowFor
Each c
As TableCell
In HeaderRow.CellsIf c.Text.EndsWith("S")
Then
c.BackColor = Drawing.Color.OrangeRed
End
If
Next
End

I have a very large text file whose data I need to extract and display in a gridview control. The method I'm using now is as follow:
1. Read each line of the textfile using StreamReader, into a String.
2. Split the String and populate the fields of a detail object.
3. Add the detail object to a List.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each row of the text file.
5. Bind the list to the gridview.
I think most of the time is spent processing the text file data (steps 1, 2 & 3).
Is there any way this can be done quicker and more efficiently? At present, it takes ages to read and process a 76 mb text file.

I have a series of textboxes on a FormView. There is a textbox for entering a percent for a deposit amount and next to that a corresponding textbox for entering a dollar value for a deposit amount. There are 3 sets of these.
If a user changes a percent textbox, I update the dollar value textbox based on the percent times the project's total cost. If a user changes the dollar value textbox, the percent textbox gets updated as a percent of that dollar amount divided by the project's total cost.
I have the percent textboxes formatted as "{0:0%}" and the dollar value textboxes as "{0:C}".
When a user types into the textbox, the formatting goes away and we get raw numbers but I don't want those raw numbers to remain as such after they tab or click out of the field. I added a TextChanged event to reset the formatting. This works fine on reformatting the percent textbox but the currency one remains as just a raw numeric value.
Here is the markup (ignore the lack of validation for numeric input only...it will be added):
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDepositPercent1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true"
CssClass="TextboxAnimatedRightAlign" Width="33px"
Text='<%# String.Format("{0:0%}", Eval("fld_dep1")) %>'
OnTextChanged="txtDeposit_TextChanged" />
[Code]....

I am curious to know the following:
We are going to develop a website where we need to store large number of files. The file size may be uptp 50 MB. What approach should we follow:
1) We should store files in Database
2) We should have a directory and store all the files in that
3) We should hire a SAN Storage and use this seperate location to store the files.

I've run into this before, but I was using a formsview and just changed the field to hidden. I am trying to get the value of a cell out of a gridview to a variable and here is the code:
[Code]....
This works perfectly if column 6 is visible, but because it's an id number (which is not the primary key) I do not want it visible, but changing it to visible="false" causes this code to return null. Changing it back to visible and it works.
I'm not sure why the visiblity of a control changes the functionality of it.

I have seen several Web Sites that use GridViews that have lookup fields with different Value and Text Fields (as in drop down lists) but I can't seem to figure it out how to display the Text Field in the Item Template when the Text Field is not in the datasource. .
Here's what I have. I have a Gridview whose datasource is a Linq to SQL Invoice table, e.g.
InvoiceID
CustomerID
InvoiceNumber
THe Customer table is related to the Invoice Table thru the CustomerID. The relationship is defined in SQL Server and is displayed in the DBML.
I have created a template field for the CustomerID field in the Gridview. I would like to display the CustomerName when the Item Template is displayed and a DropDownList in the Edit Template. The DropDownList works great, but I cannot seem to figure out how to display the CustomerName in then Item Template.
I seem to remember seeing in some video that you can simply drag the CustomerName into the CustomerID Item Template Field. But I can't seem to find the customerName field. The DataSource includes the Customer Table because of the relationship, but no fields are displayed.
I suspect this is real simple, but I cannot seem to find an article or video that explains how to do this.
