is there a way to get the PropertyName of a data bound control? For example:
I have a text box like this:
[Code]....
How can I get the info that this text box is bound to the property with the name "Test"?
I've been using the Item Inserted event for my data controls, such as details view. I'm wondering if there are advantages to doing this with the data sources instead of the data control. There is a lot of overlap in the events provided by these two types of controls. Are there advantages to using the events raised by the data source instead of the ones raised by the data control itself. Should I be using the events raised by the data source instead of the control used to enter the data?
View 2 RepliesI have a web form, and an "add vendor" button. Click the button, a modal dialog pops up (ajax:ModalPopupExtender). User selects one of two radio buttons which shows a data bound asp:View in an update panel - this view is data bound to a single row and must be populated by the user. However I also want to provide a cancel button which should close the modal dialog and reset the bound view.
However what is happening is that the ModalExtender closes, but when the "add vendor" button is presented again, it's still bound to the same data. Do I need to clear my data source? How so I reset the forms/views so that when the 'add vendor' button is clicked again the form is presented as it should be (IE the 2 select options, picking one re-binds the asp:View)?
I need to develop a custom data-bound control which will contain, few text-boxes, drop-down lists, labels, and other standard web-server controls. And, I want to be able to load this control from a web page on button click. When the user enters any data to any of its child controls, i should be able to save, and also retrieve when the data-bound control is loaded again. Also, the data in the child control should retain their value on postback. What approach should i follow?

View 6 RepliesHow can I bind a datalist control with a list of objects. I have a list of objects that contain a name, desc, and url for menu commands that I am trying to show in a DataList. I am getting the list from a WCF service so I have a list called something like menuList which consists of a List<MenuCommands>. I then do a menuDataList.DataSource = menuList and then a menuList.DataBind but nothing is happening. What am I missing here? I need to use a DataList because I need the commands to be selectable.
View 11 RepliesHow can I get pass the DataKey of a GridView to a usercontol, preferably without code behind.
Why doesn't this work:
<ucOrderDetails:AJAX_OrderDetail ID="od1" runat="server" OrderNumber='<%# GridView1.SelectedValue.ToString() %>' />
GridView1 is just a list of orders with a DataKey of OrderNumber.
od1 is not inside of a databout control, does it need to be?
I have a situation where I currently have a HyperLinkColumn control that I would like to modify to have a Label or simple text appear in the same column as the hyperlink. I tried setting this in the ItemCreated event but encountered the following error message
View 3 RepliesI have a 3 level deep nested gridview. The expansion/contraction of each record was originally done with javascript. There were html <div> tags around each gridview. Since these were HTML div tags I could give them IDs that were dynamically bound to record ID value within the database. I then had onclick buttons that passed in a bound record ID value that coresponded to the appropriate div tag that needed to be expanded (e.g. display: inline (show it) or if it is already inline then display: none).
This worked beautifuly. Unfortunatley I wanted to be able to do in-girdview editing of the child records. When expands a parent record and clicks to edit a child record the OnRowEdit event fires which automatically generates a postback and resets the variables within the JavaScript. THEREFORE THE ENTIRE GRIDVIEW STATE BECOMES CONTRACTED.
So finally I decided to change the div tags to <asp: Panel> and the onclick images to .net clickable images (all .net objects no framework). This works because the state is remembered within each postback. However, the problem I'm having is I can't dynamically bind ID's for panel since this is not allowed. HOW CAN I GIVE THE PANEL <% Bind("id") %>. THAT I CAN REFER TO SO I CAN OPEN THE APPROPRIATE PANEL.
i am new to asp.net and need some help with writing a user control that fits the following specification:
i have a list of properties. each property is a string triplet (type, name, value). TYPE can be "boolean", "string", "int" with VALUE taking appropriate values.
so a list of properties would look like: {("boolean", "isMember", "true"), ("int", "age", "39")} .
i need to display the list of properties in a table with a corresponding control for each value type
("boolean" in a CheckBox, "string" "int" in a TextBox)
and be able to to edit the values. I wrote a small control that displays a single property. It puts the NAME in a Label and depending on the TYPE inserts
the value in a TextBox or CheckBox and then puts that in a PlaceHolder. I could afterwards display the list in a table when a button is clicked.
I would like to know how i could display data from an itemtemplate or any other form views/data-bound controls without having it render in tables? i know theres control adaptors, but is this reliable and will it work with asp.net 3.5?
View 4 RepliesI am using gridview to display some columns with autogenerate column as 'true' and not added boundfields,headers.
And i am used stored preocedure for data source in gridview and i used dataset for gridview databind.
The gridview columns comes dynamically for each time.
When I bind my listview with a typed dataset the textbox is filled with spaces up to its max length.
For example if I have "ABC" in the typed dataset and the textbox has a max length of 5 it will actually bind "ABC ".
I know I could trim it ont he databound event, but I shouldn't have to.
I'm having a problem sorting a dropdown that I've bound to a SQL Server data source. I've narrowed the problem down to the fact that I have a static item at the top of the dropdown with the data-bound items appended afterwards. If I remove the static item (<asp:ListItem Value="-1" Text="All" />) the ORDER BY part of the select clause works fine. How can I get around this issue? What I would like is to have the "All" static item at the top of the list with the data-bound items sorted alphabetically afterwards. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and ASP.NET 4 if it makes any difference.

I am looking for a method to format gridview bound data using javascript.
I know you can have custom formating in Eval using:
[Code]....
But I am looking for a way to perform this task on client side, rather than doing it on the server.
For example if I want to format a date field being bound in a custom way, something like emails date received in gmail. (Only show time if it is today's date [15:30] and only show day and month if it is this year date [14 Jan] and show the full date if it is not this year [10/10/2009].
So, how I use javascript to format a field (ie. custom date format or setting a control visibility)?
I have a gridview, which on the row data bound method that inserts a row when comparing values on a particular field. If the two values are different, a new row is inserted, if not no row is inserted. This coding is working as a grouping gridview, and is working correctly. However, I have problem, and problem is counting the rows between each group, which I want to display in my blank row between each group, the value of which I am holding in a hiddenfield.
When I try to do it, the first group doesn't show the result, but is displayed on the next group. I am pretty sure that I am doing something wrong. My approach is that if the value between the last row and the existing row are different, then the value is one, on the next row data bound event, if the values are the same then the value is increased by one, else the value is one because it is a new group. Here is my code:
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
Table tbl = e.Row.Parent as Table;
TableCell cell = new TableCell();
CheckBox chk = new CheckBox();
Label lbl2 = new Label();
HiddenField rowValue = new HiddenField();
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
{
e.Row.Visible = false;
}
else
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
Session["count"] = 1;
Label lbl = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblValue");
string str1 = ((Label)(lbl)).Text;
string prevStr= (string)Session["previousStr"];
if (prevStr== str1)
{
lbl.Visible = false;...................
I have some data which contains angle brackets in some of the fields.Even if properly escaped as <: or > (or even the hex codes), or contained in CDATA, in Visual Studio 2005 ASP.Net, the field data is being truncated at the first angle bracket. If I replace the data with curly braces, it displays fine.Is this a parser defect in the TreeView control? I can use Response.Write and see that the data provided by the XmlDataSource is fine. Example:
<ITReview>
<row TopNode="REQ 123456 TT Description <Date sent to app dev> <Priority> <SubTask Status>"/><row TopNode="REQ 456789 TT Description <Date sent to app dev> <Priority> <SubTask Status>"/>
</ITReview>
<ITReview>
<row TopNode="REQ 123456 TT Description <Date sent to app dev> <Priority> <SubTask Status>"/><row TopNode="REQ 456789 TT Description <Date sent to app dev> <Priority> <SubTask Status>"/>
</ITReview>
This truncates right after TT Description. If I change to curly braces or parentheses, it displays fine.
I got a dropdownlist do not have data bound, but populate the items from an object:
dlEmployees.ClearSelection();
// get employees
StaffBusinessCollection employeeCollection = StaffBusinessCollection.GetEmployees();
foreach (var employeeObject in employeeCollection)
{
ListItem li = new ListItem(employeeObject .EmployeeName, employeeObject .EmployeeID);
dlEmployees.Items.Add(li);
}
Now I want to get the 'Value' (ie.EmployeeID) of the selected employee.
I tried in the SelectedIndexChanged event but does not work, event the event did not get triggered:
protected void dlEmployees_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Label4.Text = dlEmployees.SelectedIndex.ToString();
}
I am using grid view with row "data bound event" at row row data bound i am using some function with loops to fill drop down of grid view in template columns. grid view gets populated with selected index change event of drop down. my problem is the asp.net page is getting slower i mean when grid populates its taking some time and some time page get hanged what to do to get rid of it?
View 1 RepliesWhat is the best way to create a data bound ASP.NET user control? I have a user control that contains a drop down list and three label controls. I would like to data bind the drop down list, and have the label controls display different properties of the data source. I have Googled for an example of IDataSource and User Control, but cannot find any good information. This must be a common use of a user control?
View 1 RepliesI want to implement a very simple list control. It has 2 properties:
RowTemplate (ITemplate)
DataSource (IList)
The control implementation must render each row using the template specified in RowTemplate passing the corresponding object in the DataSource list, so that, if I have a property called Name in the passed object, it would be accessible with a Eval("Name").
I want an example of how to render the control using RowTemplate and how to pass the correspondent DataSource object to the template.
I'm reading the MSDN documentation on the subject: Data Binding Expression Overview and Binding to Databases but I just can't find how to implement a control that passes an object to the template.
I have a gridview control on a .aspx page. It is a bound control. So basically I didn't have to write any code to pull the data from database and show it on the grid.

So far so good. But where is no data is not returned from the database, I want to display something on the page saying "No data returned". But I don't know which gridview control event gets fired so that I can write some code in it to check if the records returned are zero.
For example, let's say I have a HyperLink:
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" Text="Foo" NavigateUrl="foo.aspx" />
How can I set the NavigateUrl on the server side, without having to go the code-behind?
This doesn't work of course:
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" Text="Foo" NavigateUrl="<%= urlString %>" />
(where urlString might be a string I created earlier in the page)And this doesn't work because the HyperLink is not within a data bound control:
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" Text="Foo" NavigateUrl='<%# urlString %>' />
I guess I could just use a standard anchor element:
<a href="<%= urlString %>">Foo</a>
But I'd rather not mix up HTML and ASP.NET controls, and it would be handy to be able to do this for other controls.
