Forms Data Controls :: How To Empty A Textbox In Detailsview Codebehind
Oct 27, 2010
I have a detailsview with three textboxes as itemtemplates. Each for holding a different date. To avoid the option of users entering invalid values the textboxes are disabled and the user can use a calender control to fill the dates. Because the textboxes are disabled I added a linkbutton to empty a date, if the user decides to clear it.
Asp:
[Code]....
In the code behind is the following for linkbutton on click:
[Code]....
Now, the problem is that no matter which linkbutton a user clicks all three textboxes are cleared/emptied. Why?
I would like to move all of this to codebehind so it's easier to work with programmatically. For instance the PracticeId is a selection from a dropdownlist that is populated from another table... i need to determine what the current selection is first so i can display the record / bind properly.
I am trying to target a control in a Detailsview in my codebehind, however I am getting an error "Name "control" is not declared" for example, i have a FileUpload field in the edit template of the detailsview, which I am trying to access as
FileField.PostedFile.SaveAs("directory")
I also tried adding a reference to the Detailsview id such as DetailsView1.FileField.PostedFile.SaveAs("directory")
I have a detailsview in insert mode. I want to prompt the user to enter data in all fields, if left empty. Could someone please find a few minutes to show me how to do it?
I have a detailsview on my page binding a table with information about the employees. They can update their information. Some info should be visible but not updateable. I could change the update command not updating but I like the control where I can set the column to read only. In that way the employee will find the data visible and they will see that the field/column cannot be changed. But having the column read only will return a null-value into that column when editing and updating anything. Why is that? Shouldn't it just update it's read only value?
I would like to find controls in the detailsview control placed in the EmptyData Template of the gridview. I am trying to create Insert new record for the gridview control.
1. If there are existing records in the table - works fine and sets my two values: I placed Detailsview and Insert Button in the footer of the gridview. I needed to set the values of two fields. When I click on the Insert button it saves new record and sets the field with the value (code attached - works fine). I also have a popup extender that opens detailsview - this works just fine.
2, If ther are not records in the table - saves record but cannot find and set controls on the detailsview Same thing setup in the EmptyData Template. The record is saved but I cannot Find and set the field value on the control.
1. Link button (on click) in the gridview footer (works fine)
In my detailsview, I have an emptydatatemplate set up to allow users to enter new records. The code works. However, once the record is inserted, the detailsview defaults to a standard insert screen. I know this will cause confusion for the users. I would prefer the detailsview to either show in edit mode or a read-only mode. I have used detailsview.changemode and detailsview.currentmode in the custom sub created for the add new button of the emptydatatemplate- neither of which do what I was hoping. It would be even better if when there was no data, it defaulted to the insert screen (which seems like that should be an easy, no-brainer way for .net to function) but it doesn't. Or, I don't know how to accomplish it.
I don't want to force the user to click cancel after inserting an item through the emptydatatemplate just to be able to use the detailsview for other records.
I am using gridview control in asp.net and doing insertion using template field in gridview. In c# i am getting those textbox values by type casting and id should return a integer value. i enter values in all fields of gridview and giving a command name as AddNew to insert the new values, insertion takes place but all fields are empty and id field is 0. how to take the values from textbox and also i should return a integer value for id. i paste my code below.
How Do I prepopulate A databound textbox in detailsview. When I place my text in the textbox the error says "Cannot enter 'description' into database insert fails.
I've been playing with a certain detailsview for most of last week. This particular control is located within a panel that is hidden until a user clicks a linkbutton on a gridview. Then the panel's visible property is set to true and the detailsview is populated based on the commandargument passed through the link button. What I've discovered is that with each postback, the datakey or control parameter, still not sure which or if both, is lost. I've discovered a lot about ViewState and how controls work and am a bit surprised that something as common as using a detailsview within a gridview wouldn't be handled better than it is now. I have been able to get the proper information to build a correct select statement when the user decides to edit a record. I am now working on an update statement, but for some reason while I have the right key to update the right record, I am unable to access the user-generated data that was entered in the details view.
For instance, I select record with ID of 1 in the gridview. It pulls up the detailsview and I can view it. I then click edit. The correct record is still there. (It was previously going to default). When I enter new text in a textbox and click update, the app still knows I am working with record #1 but doesn't seem to be able to find the textbox control. I have currently hard-coded a value into the field just to see if I could actually get the record to update and it did. I am using an OnInit to cause the sub to run and think this might be the problem. However, I have been unable to find a better way around this.
Here is the sub that executes on the OnInit() of the detailsview:
Protected Sub notes_binding() If notesDetail.CurrentMode = DetailsViewMode.Edit Then sqlNotesUpdate.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE [Oilchange_Notes] SET [notes] = '" & CType(notesDetail.FindControl("notes"), Textbox).Text & "' WHERE [vehicle_id] = " & Session("unitNumVal") sqlNotesUpdate.UpdateCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text sqlNotesUpdate.Update() End If sqlNotesUpdate.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [Oilchange_Notes] WHERE ([vehicle_id] = " & Session("unitNumVal") & ")" End Sub
And this is the error I get: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. If I'm correct about why it's not pulling the actual value or even acknowledging the control exists and is actually 'notes' (it is), then at would point would be the best to place this code?
I have a DetailsView control where I use templatefields. One of them are textcontrol tempatefield and dropdownlist templatefield.
What I want to so is, when I select let's say "Dollar" value in DropDown list, textcontrol text to be assigned "USD". Basically, text property of textcontrol to be asggined based on dropdownlist selected value.
I am trying to use something like this but it gives me an error:
I guess I'm not sure exactly how or where to do what I need.
First off - here's what I need - - when the user clicks on the NEW button in the detailsView, I have the User.Identity.name captured in a variable and I need to set one of the textboxes (InsertItemTemplate) named 'txtNew' to that name.
I've tried using the ModeChanging (and ModeChanged) event: Dim dv As TextBox = CType(DetailsView1.FindControl("txtNew"), TextBox) If (e.NewMode = DetailsViewMode.Insert) Then ....
However, no matter what, 'dv' always shows as 'Nothing', so I can't change the text of it.
I have a bound field in a DetailsView that I want updated with the contents of TextBox2.Text when I update. I have TextBox2 set AutoPostBack True. Cannot remember how to move the contents on update. I tried converting the "Description_Update" to a template field without success.
I can copy and paste the contents of TextBox2 into the DetailsView and it does update as do the other DataFields.
The DetailsView getting data filtered by a QueryStringField. Both my Gried and details view showing only one row. I want to get the value in 3 column "Illustrasjon" into Texbox4.
<asp:AccessDataSource ID="AccessDataSource2" runat="server" DataFile="~/App_Data/Oppgave.mdb" SelectCommand="SELECT [TekstID], [ElevID], [Illustrasjon] FROM [tblTekstGitt] WHERE ([TekstID] = ?)">.......
im using visual studio 2008, c#, asp.net, sqlserver to develop website. my problem is i want to change textbox control in detailsview when editing and inserting to other controls such as dropdownlist or radio button. is there any possible way to do it? i've try using edit item template, its work only to change it to other control but not working to bind it to database.
I'm tyring to write a simple DetailsView only used for inserting new records that will pre-fill a textbox with a query string value. Here's the DetailsView:
[code]....
All I want to do is set VenueID_FK.Text to = the "VenueID" querry string. I also want the user to be able to see the VenueID number as they are filling out GridView1.
I know this is probably a simple thing, but I am very new to asp.net. I thought I could handle this in the page load event, but when I try something like this
And then follow by setting the Text property programitically. I've accomplished something similar to this on a different page using a FormView, but only for ReadOnly mode and it was handled in the databound event on that page.
I get the error "The name 'DetailsView1' doesn't exist in the current context." when trying to do the above mentioned. When trying the same line in the databound event here, I get the same error.
they could provide with regards having a word count of a mulitline textbox that is found within a DetailsView? I have tried using JavaScipt and a this [URL] but I don't seem to be able to get it working within that DetailsView,
This is probably something very simple that I've over looked, but I have a template field in a details view. In the field there is a html <p> tag that is bound to a database field. The database field is set to nvarchar(max) and will usually be very long. When the text is loaded into the <p> tag, it is not wrapped and does not go onto a new line when it reaches the edge of the screen.
I add this code but textbox value show in empty in database .. On Button Click the GridView TextBox loose all data ..
public partial class keyexam2 : System.Web.UI.Page { //SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:shubhangijayonlinepaperApp_DataQUIZ.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"); DataTable dt = new DataTable(); //DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
