Forms Data Controls :: Generating Columns In A Detailsview Programatically?
Jul 7, 2010
I am displaying the output of a LINQ query in a Detailsview control. I have a Detailsview called DetailsCaAb and a DropDownList called DropDownList2, when the use makes a selection from DropDownList2 the Linq query fetches the data CatAbstract from the table CatagoryTables. e.g.
[code]....
Unfortunately I cannot seem to control what is displayed by the DetailsView, I only want to display CatAbstract, but the details view generates another column called Items. How do I ensure only the data I want is displayed? I need a way of controlling the columns generated programmatically.
I need to create a grid where the users can see all the memberships, and have a line of checkboxes for each existing role, and be able to check/uncheck roles to allow access authority.
I managed to build a datatable that adds columns and displays them properly, but I have not been able to programatically add columns to the grid based on whatever roles are stored in the system.
I can display the users and their roles by just specifying AutoGenerateColumns="true" when I do that, the checkboxes are grayed out, and the users do not want to have to click a button to open them up.
Here is what I can't figure out.
How do I programatically add columns to the GridView? I have some code in Pageload, but it doesn't work, so it is commented out?How do I turn on all the rows for the entire GridView to edit mode? How do I access the column name for the role they just checked so that I know what to add with the ystem.Web.Security.Roles.AddUserToRole(UserName, Role)?
In my Admin page, I have a drop down list containing all current user tables in the database. The user chooses one.
My DetailsView below uses that parameter to populate itself with data from that table. The stored procedure used to select the data passes a string to sp_executesql. The string is concatenated from a select statement and the tablename parameter. Can I do something similar for Update/Delete statements? I'm not sure of the best approach, given that I won't know which/how many fields will be in the DetailsView at runtime, and which of these are keys - the choice of table depends on the user. I think Insert will be straightforward - am I right? I would like to streamline things as far as possible. Is it possible to dynamically pass in the values in, say, a string, and get my stored procedure to understand them? And what's the best method of grabbing the values from the DetailsView in this situation?
I have a DetailsView control with two columns and 7 rows. I need the two columns to merge in row two and get rid of the header. I only the data from the DB to display no the header name in row two. How do I merge it in DetailsView control?
I am using dynamic data entities linq to sql project. For my test project I have one table, with 10 columns and a single primary key for example. Almost all the columns are varchars.I can get the basic project up and running fine - update, delete, insert etc.ince it has no foreign keys, there are no search filters rendered. I was wondering if there was an easy way to generate a set of filters for the columns for this table. So a First name and last name search box. Is there a way to generate these filters for chosen columns and is there a way to generate these for all the columns
for example, above each of the columns in the grid there might be a text box ( I am not too fussed where the text boxes are rendered as such). Each of the text boxes will act as a filter for that column (doing a SQL 'like')
I am trying to arrange the information from a SQL record into a 3 column by 3 row table to fit the form presentation that I want. I have placed on the page 3X3 table and then tried to place a detailsview in the first cell for the first picture called P1dv.
I have place a detailsview in the last cell that would control the paging of information called Controldv. I need to fiqure out how to link P1dv paging to Controldv page action. I am using visual web dev. 2005. I am not updating or editing these are read only views.
example of what i need the form output to look like:
But I´m trying to do that programmatically, not with the sqldatasource. So I wrote the method that binds data to Detailsview and I call it in the page_load. The problem is that I have to click two times on the select button to view the detailsview. The first time I click on the select button nothing happens.
I have a gridview with a Select button. Clicking the Select button for a particular item, I need its full details displayed in DetailsView. how I can bind to DetailsView? Here is what I have so far.
I created a gridview that is made up of 4 gridviews and using a stored procedure to populate it. I create columns at runtime because the number of columns changes all the time.To make the grids editable I am adding template fields at runtime as I create the columns, this is to ensure that a user is able to edit the cells and some foot values update. Reason why I have four grids is to freeze rows and columns like in excel using javascript. The problem is that performance is very bad especially in IE, the grids take a long time to load. I am not sure if this is caused by the data load or the creation of text boxes. see some of the code below for my _aspx page:
in asp.net page user able to select gridview Columns, and it will hide remaining columns and that selection done by check box with column list bellow is Image link , what exactly I am looking for [URL] it look bellow after selection of column done [URL]
i need to replicate or add one more row to the present row in a gridview on clicking a button in template field....am able to add a new row which is having controls not only text....but the entire grid is resetting...i dont want to reset the gri and want to add new row to grid...
Working on a web part that will contain a datalist. How do you set up various properties such as ItemStyle, AlternatingItemStyles, and all the data binding?
I've search for some keywords but could not find anything relevant.
I have a DropDownList on my aspx page and wanted to add ListItem programatically. The item will start from 2 years ago to 1 year later (e.g. from 2009 to 2012) so if the year change, it will be automatic. I also want the current year to be selected by default. In the code behind, I did this:
For i As Integer = (DateTime.Now.Year - 3) To (DateTime.Now.Year + 1) DropDownList1.Items.Add(i.ToString()) Next DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text = DateTime.Now.Year
As result, I'm having the items in this order: 2011 (selected), 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012. The 2011 is duplicated (I wonder why). When I view the source page on Internet Explorer, I have this:
I have a DataList called Books on my form. If the Genre is Mystery, I want the TableHeaderCell to be a different color. The BackColor is set by default to: #66CCFF.
How do I access this control in the code behind? I want to be able to say:
How can we programmatically select a row in GridView control based on the datakey.That means, I know the Primary key of the row which I want to select. So how would I select that particular row?P.S. I dont want to select it based on Index.
I am writing a system that is input intensive, and the used need to be able to use without touching the mouse. I am trapping the enter key and defaulting to click an "Enter" button that I have on the screen. In the EnterButton_Click event, I am using a "menu option" to determine which DataList item they want.
All of that is working great, except reading back the URL from the DataList Item, which I need for my repsonse.redirect to call the next screen.

I am inches away from pulling this off.Entire code is below. The actual datatable/datasource will come from a file later, I just mocked up some links for this example.
I have a formview bound to a sqldatasource control. I want to set one of the insert parameters when I click on one of several buttons (outside the formview).
I want to set the "benType" depending on which button I've pressed (I don't want/need it to be visible in the InsertTemplate). I tried adding this line to the codebehind for the button click:
I've got a FormView control for which I'm Viewing, Inserting and Updating to a MS SQL Database.
Instead of adding a SqlDataSource control to the page, I've created it in the code behind and declaring the properties/attributes for it during Page_Load.
At the moment, everything is bound and working fine, but I'm having an issue Databinding to the child controls in my FormView with parameters set in the code behind.
This is where I'm at.

So, I need to be able to bind the DS.InsertParameters.Add("PageTitle", ---) with the txPageTitle control in the Insert Template, same with the PageURL to txPageURL. Is there any easy way to do this from the code behind? I can't seem to find a way to add a parameter without needing to assign it a value.
I'm trying to programatically populate some dropdownlists inside a formview in EDIT mode, like this below.
[Code]....
I orginally had this running as part of the pagelaod event, but I'm thinking that b/c the page loads first, it doesn't populate the fields in EDIT mode until after the data is saved, and then page is reloaded. Now it knows it's in "Edit" mode. Am I thinking clearly here? Not sure if this is the order of things. So I thought I should just use a formview_modechanged (or similar event) so when the user switches modes, it populates the fields - but I'm not sure which event I should use. I've tried "Modechanging", "modechanged", "prerender", etc, but with no luck. Here's my new code... not sure what's up? Is it simply I've got the wrong formview event? Or am i missing something? Is there an easier/better way to accomplish this?
