Forms Data Controls :: Gridview Non-visible Values Always Go To Null?
Jun 24, 2010
Whenever you turn off the visibility of a column in Gridview, on Edit, the value becomes null because its never bound. The only way I know of stopping this behavoir is to put it in the DataKeyName list. Is there any other way to prevent this? I have quite a few columns that will not be displayed in this "release" but I want there for future extensibility. Also, in some cases these values will be used for calculations but the user should not see them. Is there no toggle property for "non-visible" items to remain "unchanged" or something of the sort?
Now the issue is that that every document doesn't has document number. I want to make invisible the docuNumber column of the grid viwe if all values in the docNumber retrieved are null.for example:
docnumber tite null Document 1
null Document 2
null doucment 3
null document 4
if returned result match above where all docnumber are null then make the gridviwe docnumber column ivisible eslemake the greidviwe column visible.
i am using a gridview in my web page,i used to bind the database records to the gridview..my columns are name,empid,company name,pl leave,sl leave,total leave taken here total leave taken is not a database fields,in the page i want to fill the records once loaded pl leave and sl leave is added and display in the total leave taken column..it working properly when all pl ans sl columns fill with numbers,if some pl and sl leave having blank values.it showing an error like input sting was not in correct format..this is my code
I'm trying to retreive values entered by users in the textboxes in the footer of the gridview and insert these values into another sql table.My code is as follows :-
protected void GridView2_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e) { if(e.CommandName.Equals("addnew")) { TextBox t1 = (TextBox)GridView2.FooterRow.FindControl("tfrm"); string frm = t1.Text; TextBox t2 = (TextBox)GridView2.FooterRow.FindControl("tsub"); string sub = t2.Text; string cmd = "insert into suggestions values('" + frm + "','" + sub + "','c','c')"; con.Open(); SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand(cmd,con); int a = com.ExecuteNonQuery(); GridView2.DataBind(); con.Close(); } }
But the strings 'frm' and 'sub' returns null values.
I am updating a gridview. Problem is that when I hide certain fields that I do not want the user to update, they lose their values ie. the data is wiped out in the field unless I show them on the grid and make them writeable. Is there a property I need to set for the field to retain the value when the grid is updated or is this in the sql statement?
I have a database field called ImageLocation, I have the ImageUrl property bound to: Eval("ImageLocation", "{0}")I would like to bind the Visble property to false if the ImageLocation is null data. I can not figure out how to set the control properly, currently the Datalist shows me all the data and when the image location is null it shows me the name of the Hyperlink control which happens to be Hyperlink2.
I've created a gridview having an Id column whose visible property is set to false, because I don't want users to see that column. Now when user clicks on the edit button in a particular row I want to fetch the id of the cell in the Id column of that particular row. So, for that purpose I used -
In the above code, Cells 0th index is the column index whose visible property is kept false. Now the problem I face here is that if the columns visible property is true then I can easily fetch the contents of that particular cell with the above code. But, in invisible mode I get only "" value i.e. I don't get the text or the content of that cell. Why does it happen? I don't face this problem with DataGrid Control used with 1.0 and 1.1 version. And how to resolve it or in this case is there another way of fetching the content of the invisible cell?
I have setup my business object to have a create_date and edit_date members both datetime datatypes. My company want to display the create_date and edit_date fields in a gridview for each transaction. The problem i have is that after insterting a record it will have a valid create_date but no edit_date and when displayed in the gridview it defaults to datetime.minvalue (My default). How on earth do i show an empty field in my gridview for a null datetime field in the database?
I am using similar architecture to the Imar Spaanjaars example of a tiered solution. With a few small tweeks it has worked well for me for ages. I am passing a List<Database> to my object datasource which connects to my gridview.
I have a typical gridview/formview master control setup. When I try to update or insert I don't get any errors but it also doesn't work. When I try to insert data all I get are null values and when I update, none of the values are updated. The formview looks like its working, but just doesn't. The primary key is an identity and it auto-increments by one.
I am having real trouble at the moment trying to input NULL values into a field. what I want is, using VB, the ability to insert into parameters NULL values.
have a form where I insert record via DetailView control. I have some string fields. For each string field (nvarchar in sql) I have defined the Default Value in the SQL SERVER (2008) as ''. Also I have added to each InsertParameter of the DetailsView a DefaultValue="".Yet still, if the user enters no value for one of the string fields, NULL is inserted into the table.
This is an ASP.NET 3.5 web app written in C# using VS2008 and connecting to an MS SQL backend. It is using ad hoc queries in a strongly typed dataset to pull from the database. This query (shortened for clarity) is designed to allow optional input of parameters (a requirement) or pull all records if no parameters are input. It works normally in SQL Server Management Studio with the addition of Declare and Set statements and it works normally in the TableAdapter's Query Builder:
[Code]....
The markup contains this ObjectDataSource, which is tied to the TableAdapter with the above query:

The problem I'm having is in passing null values to the ODS to feed to the query. Tying the ODS parameters directly to the dropdownlists and textboxes didn't work. Got an error message that there was a mismatched data type. Tried several combinations of code to feed the right values to the ODS parameters but couldn't find one that worked. Is the problem in the query or am I setting up the code-behind wrong? Here's the code:
the problem arise when this datacolumn in my database have a null value, it throws an error ....how can I get this to work so that DataBinder.Eval can take a null value?
m using a listview and an object data source in my application, with optimistic concurrency control.i have only 2 columns in the listview: category_ID and category_name;when i try to delete an item, an error message is generated saying that one of the old values populated by the list view is null, i performed debugging, and found that the category_ID old value is populated correctly, while the category_name old value is populated as nulli can't find a problem in the code, i executed the delete command in the query builder directly and it worked fine,
Using a class component, an Object data source and a formview I am successfully pulliing data from a SQL database. In some cases the rows contain one or more Null values and I would like them to be ignored completely. My simple code follows:-
I have a Sql Data Source that queries my class database. What I'm trying to do to save myself some landscape is to check a checkbox if any of the pre-requisite fields are not empty. I have this laying inside a gridview. My code doesn't error out but it doesnt' do anything either.
[Code]....
My query is like this:
[Code]....
So in a nutshell, if there is any value in PR1 - PR7, I want to check my checkbox in the gridview.
and right below that i have 1 condition to check for and then set the Text value of the 2 labels.hireMess.Text = "It Was Successfully!";hireEnd.Text ="You will be re-directed to your Pool in 10 seconds.";I compared the page to production and eveyrthing is the same and production doesnt have any issues.. not sure why its coming up null.The error comes up for the first label:Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.Source Error:
I have a customized gridvew i.e. grvResult. There is a textbox and a InsertButton in the footer.
If there is a data populated into gridview it is showing GridView footer and inserting data but if there is no data in gridview then its footer also not visible.
I have tried in two ways to make footer visible but it is showing following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
