I'm trying to populate the DataPager using Container.DataItem (I'm not allowed to use FindControl) but I get this error
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataPager' does not contain a definition for 'DataItem' and no extension method 'DataItem' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataPager' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I want to acces Container Dataitem in <%.
Is it possible to do that?
I want to pass the current dataitem to a method and check if it's valid then show a button.
This <% %> is located inside a repeater.
<%
if (Validate( (Order)Container.DataItem))
{ %>
<asp:button text=edit>
<% }%>
input type=..... value="<%= ISO3166CountryList.GetCountryByCode("IE", CurrentLocale).Name %>" />
I'm looking to replace the hardcoded IE with something like
<%#(Container.DataItem as PhoneNumber).ISO%>
No variations of what I've tried worked. How can I get a databinded value when within a <%= code block? Do I need to use an intermediary variable?
I have some fields in my db that have a value of "NULL". These are displayed in the Data controls as "NULL". When I try to commit an update the Regex validator is catching this and not allowing the update because it doesn't match the pattern of the regex.
I've thought of one way of solving this, which is to add the value "NULL" to the pattern for the regex. I'm curious though if there is a better way to solve this issue.
I am collecting user roles into a single dimension string array.
I have a repeater that its source set to that array. The repeater template includes list of checkboxes for the values in the array.The checkbox text is set to: Text='<%# Container.DataItem %>'
All is good till this point.
But I am trying to call a javascript function triggered by clickign a checkbox and pass it the container.dataitem, but the javascript doesn't seem to be reading the value and either complain about string not being in correct format or that treats the container.dataitem as a liter. This is the trial that didn't work (I tried many different things too):
DetermineVal(<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem) %>);
determineval is my javascript function
Can I do that with a single dimension array?
I have a ListView in which i have a function that creates images for users. I pass userGender,userImage1name,userIsImage1Aprooved values to the function in which i generate image.ie. if user has approved image i return it back, otherwise i return default image based on gender.y question is, is there any way to avoid passing 3 parameters to that function and to pass whole DataRow so i can get values of columns i need?In reality i pass about 12 parameters just made it easy for you.ie. i want to achieve something like that <%# GetImage(Container.Item) %> while in GetImage() i would be able to access Item("some_column_name") or C# version Item["some_column_name"].

when I check the value from DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Type") i've "Checkbox" so I wonder what is wrong there?

In a nested GridView (GridView inside a template column of parent GridView). I am binding child GridView to a DataTable in parent GridView's RowDataBound event. this works as it should. But the problem i am facing is in Child GridView's RowDataBound Event, when i try to access e.Row.DataItem property it returns null. I am expecting it to return DataRowView Type. which i will then use to set values of TextBox's.

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?
View 3 RepliesI'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'm trying to pass a string value to a javascript function from a LinkButton's OnClientClick event, but the function is receiving "<%# Container.DataItem %>" instead of the value. Here's the code:
OnClientClick="javascript:SaveQuotaGroupCode('<%# Container.DataItem %>');"
The container is a collection of strings. Why is it not evaluating?EDIT: This is located in a nested ListView. The datasource for the inner ListView is a property in the datasource of the outer ListView.
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 TabContainer, and one of its tab panels has a user control with a wide GridView in it. Because of some reason, the GridView goes way beyond the size of the tab panel and the tab container. How can I make the tab panel expand based on the width of the GridView?
View 11 RepliesI 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.
