Forms Data Controls :: How To Access Data In Code Behind Before It Is Displayed In A Repeater
Aug 10, 2010
Let me try to explain my situation. I have a database table which contains, among other things, a boolean column called PermissionSlipRequired. I have a repeater on my page, and before each row in the database is shown in the repeater, I want to use my code behind to check the value of PermissionSlipRequired. Based on whether the value of PermissionSlipRequired is true or false, I want to change the text of a literal within the repeater. That's a real mouthful; hopefully some markup and code will clarify. Here's my repeater:
[Code]....
Here is what I've been able to come up with for my code behind. Needless to say, this code doesn't work.
[Code]....
As a former PHP user who is trying to migrate to asp.net.
I have a repeater control which displays text using the following code:
[Code]....
What i am trying to do is, i want to limit the total length of text displayed to, lets say 150 characters, how and wat code can i use to achieve this task
I have a repeater which has it's data bound in the code behing. I want it so that as each row is written out I can check the data and if a piece of information stored in the database exists, I can then do something (format the text in a different manner). So far I have this in my code behind:
I have grid view that be filled using code behind , and it be displayed with the default pagingmy problem is I want to add two label behind and after the paging links and fill them with certain text such this example
I have a GridView inside a repeater, and for all the GridView events such as ItemDataBound, etc. I can't just use the same because it doesn't recognize it. I know I have to use FindControl and type in the ID, but how?
When I go to the page_load event in the codebehind, I can't seem to find this control at all. No intellisense whatesover. I've tried renaming, closing the solution, even changing the codebehind directive at the top of my aspx page to "codefile".
I have a Repeater who should show some data from my ms.sql server. But all code inside the Repater is not shown on my .aspx page. What am i doing wrong. I have a similar Repeater on another page and there it works fine.
I have a asp:repeater control which I am using to display a photo and the Name. So for this I have to execute SQL query and unfortunately I dont have the control of the database - table design. So the photo comes from one table and the Name comes from another table. I wrote 2 sql queries to get both these information created 2 sqldatareader. So now I have to bind the repeater control to both of these reader. But I know it does not work. Is there any other way I can do this? I even tried to nest a repeater control inside another. But that does not work anyway.
I am trying to build a repeater dynamically through the code behind. I found this code on the microsoft site:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Repeater1.HeaderTemplate = New MyTemplate(ListItemType.Header) Repeater1.ItemTemplate = New MyTemplate(ListItemType.Item) Repeater1.AlternatingItemTemplate = _ New MyTemplate(ListItemType.AlternatingItem) Repeater1.FooterTemplate = New MyTemplate(ListItemType.Footer) Repeater1.DataSource = New String() {"one", "two", "three", "four"}
[Code]....
So this code works without throwing any exceptions, but what I would like to do is accessing the DataSource inside of Sub InstantiateIn(). I know you can access the DataSource in the front end using DataBinder.Eval and Container.DataItem, but is there a way to access the data during the InstantiateIn() Sub?
Or if there is another way to do this i'm up for trying that as well. Essentially I am trying to avoid writing asp.net code, instead I would rather write everything in vb (code-behind)
how I access /retrieve values of checkboxlist inside a repeater? My code is below..is it the same as if it was not inside a repeater? My other concern is how do I distinguish these checkboxes because basically what 's going to happen here is based on which checkbox is selected I need to query an xml file to get the location of a folder which I'm then going to zip up and allow user to download..So here's the breakdown. I have an accordion panel using jquery ui. Each panel hold a product and each product has the same checkboxes..so depending on which product the user wants to download files for which he/she will indicate by opening the accordion panel for that product and checking which checkboxes/file they want to download . So how will I know which product the user clicked the checkboxes for being that I'm using this repeater which just one ID?
[Code]....
can I still use this code or will it not work cause it's inside a repeater..also I was going to use jquery to add an onclick event to the checkbox so how can I do that now with me using this control?
[Code]....
Here's another issue..I can't even assign values to the checkboxlist using databinding..so how am I suppose to do this.. Server Error in '/ArchitectView' Application. Parser Error Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately. Parser Error Message: Databinding expressions are only supported on objects that have a DataBinding event. System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem does not have a DataBinding event.Source Error:
After much research, no solution can be found to do what I want by combining these two controls. Currently, I have a repeater control which, in page_load, takes the querystring and queries the database accordingly, puts the resulst in a datatable, and binds the datatable to the repeater. Everything works fine, no problem there. It's just that I have many columns coming from the query and there are many rows as well. So, I thought it would be easier to incorporate the accordion, so that the header of each accordion pane would show some unique fields (name, whatever...) as the header, and the rest of the many fields in the content. This way, there would be many closed accordion panes showing the name from the row returned. If the pane is clicked, the pane would open and show the rest of the results.
The problems I've had are that the repeater is not accessible from the code behind if it is inside the accordion. But I'm sure I wasn't doing it right anyways. I'm just trying to have an accordion that has as many panes as there are results from a datasource. If there is something other than a repeater that you can suggest, or the correct way to incorporate the repeater in the accordion to do what I want, suggest whatever! I just need to format how the results display how I want, unlike a gridview (I used tables in my normal repeater, and that worked fine, I just need to get that repeater to work inside of the accordion).
(and I know this isn't the section to ask about the accordion, but what is the AccordionExtender? It's not in the toolbox, and I can't find much online. It won't be recognized by Visual Studio, so I don't know what to do. If I could get that, I feel like it could solve my problem, as I found a possible solution online) I don't need to post my code, as it's a simple repeater, and trying to integrate it within the accordion isn't working no matter which way I try since I can't DataBind() in the codebehind. And yes, I tried to FindControl within the accordion but it wouldn't find the repeater.
I'm bounding data to repeater control by using SqlDataSource Control
bounded data is something like this:
attributeid attributename 1 color 2 size
How can I get access to attributeid values in Repeater control's ItemDataBound event handler,
I tried to use DataBinder.GetPropertyValue(container,"attribuetid"), but I can't set container, am I doing right, or maybe I should use another approach.
