Forms Data Controls :: How To Bound A Label To A Datasource And Its Field
Mar 21, 2011
How do I bound a Label to a datasource and its field?I got set up the datasource to a gridview, but don't know how to bind a label to the same datasource.
I have a web page that has a repeater bound to a data source. I beed to change a label inside the repeater based on the data that is in each repeater item. For instance, for the first item it might be one thing, and for the next item the label may be something else. I am currently doing some processing in the prerender event, but I don't know if I can or how to access the data source fields there. Where and how do I get access to the data in each item so I can change the label text?
I have a foreign key (TeamID) in a GridView. I use a TemplateField to display it as the lookup value (TeamName) in a label, and a dropdown for editing. When row is selected and SelectedIndexChanged is fired, I want to access the TeamID. I can get the TeamName from the label. I tried putting the TeamID in DataKeyNames, but that fouled up my dropdown when saving (it reverts to the original value). So, how can I get the TeamID?
I want to add boundfield to the Detailsview control at the run time. The data is coming from the dataset, which is fetching data from SqlDataAdapter. I tried using the following code
string st = "select * from tbrob,tbemp,tbcty,tbcmp where robfircod=" + TextBox1.Text.ToString() + " and robempcod=empcod and robctycod=ctycod and robcmpcod=cmpcod";
eI am using themes to set the Gridview font size and font name. I need to set the boundfield to the same font and size as I want it to be application to all the columns in gridview. How can I specify the boundfield properties in the themes.
I am listing details using a gridview and wish to just display the first 50 characters of a 1000 character field. I feel this should be simple but cannot find the solution.
I'm hitting a wall trying to format a boundfield of a gridview. I've tried suggestion about setting the htmlencode to false, but that didn't make a difference.The column I am trying to format is:<asp:BoundField DataField="FromDate" HeaderText="Start Date" DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" HtmlEncode="False" />
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
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 am implementing a update query module.i am displaying all fields from a table for a term searched. well now i am implementing update option for the record which are displayed, i have like 70 columns in my table, and i want to know how to restrict some selected fields to be only read only while the form can be updated ?Like if user select to update a record then some selected field such as "Timestamp, UID etc some selected fields" remains READ ONLY !
I have a grid that is built as well as populated dynamically through c# code. The grid has 3 columns(3 bound fields). And data is being populated in those bound fields through c# code programatically.
Elaborating my question: I have 3 bound field columns(col1, col2 & col3) . I have to increase the rowspan of col2 and col3 headertext's to 2 i.e I want the col2 and col3 header texts to span across two row cells. But the col1 header text should span across just 1 row. And the extra rowscell that is created under col1 due to the increase in the rowspans (of col2 and col3 boundfield headertexts) should be populated with some random text, i.e something like XXXXX
I have a lable in template field of grid which is containing record status from database.
Issue is that text in lable is not being center allign. I have tried setting horizontal allignmen but it do not work on text rather it work on control. I even tried using style sheet in which I apply font and background color but still text is not being cente allign.
I have a very simple FormView that has several fields on it. There is a field that either returns a "1" or "0" based on conditions in the database. If the value is "1", I want to leave the label control as is (normal font, in black). However, if the value is "0" I want to change the font to bold and change the forecolor to red. Simple, right?
I am able to change the font-bold property using the code below, but if I use the code to attempt to change the font color, I get the following error message for this line:
An exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in App_Web_hoge3m1x.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Specified cast is not valid.

I've been searching in all the forums, and websites for the last 4 hours without finding a solution for a problem that in the beginning I tought it was an easy one!!!This is my problem, I have a gridview with the following colums: select (link), Room Type (for hotels), and TotalThe total field Is a template field it has in the custom binding property a function: find_total(Eval("Room")) this function makes some calculation and returns the calculated Total value, and shows in the gridview without problems,The thing I cant do is: when the user clicks on the select link I want to get the text of the template field and put in a label control.
I tried, almost all the events of the datagrid, to reference the content of my template field but sometimes I receive a null value (seems that Im looking for the value before the find_total function has been executed) or I get an error "the index is out of range".I dont know how to approach this, I tought It has to be much easier, but Im very confused right now, if anybody knows how to do this
I have a FormView bound to LinqDataSource, that is intended to allow editing of a single product's details, that is selected from a GridView. The LDS has a Where parameter set to point to the GridView control (i.e. a ControlParameter).
