Forms Data Controls :: How To Handle Blank Fields In DetailsView Update
Nov 18, 2010
I'm trying to use the DetailsView to make Updates. The problem is that it can't handle empty fields even though the underlying table field allows nulls.
I get a message like this if I change the "State" field to blank when doing an update
The parameterized query '(@Cust_ID int,@Cust_DL nvarchar(7),@DL_State nvarchar(2),@Last_N' expects the parameter '@State', which was not supplied.I'm using an object data source control which is calling the EditCustomer method in my Customer Class. I'm not sure how to fix this.
DetailsView has 2 properties: AutoGenerateEditButton, AutoGenerateInsertButton for hadling Update and Insert. Is there any way I can use asp:Button or some other buttons to hadle the same tasks?
I am using the DetailsView Control to read a LastUpdatedDate field (which can be null until an update is performed) from the database. The LastUpdatedDate is of type DateTime saved in UTC. With the DetailsView control, I can use the NullDisplayText property of the boundfield to safely display an custom message. However, once converted to a template field, that property is lost. Now, how would I display that message if the field is null as I am also formatting the date for display to show in local time.
I have a GridView bound to an ObjectDataSource. Most of the columns are directly databound, however one column is not - it's value is determined in code. The value is being calculated correctly at the RowDataBound event, however when there is more than one data row in the GridView, the calculated fields for all of the rows is blank, but the top row displays the bottom row's calculated field
I have a page that binds data from DB to a DetailsView.I want to use the auto-generated Update command.
Everything went OK, and also updating was successful, but if I remove any field that I don't want to have chance to update, then the Update command doesn't update! the old values retain!
I mean: if all of the fields are present in the detailsView, the update will be OK, otherwise, the update will NOT update any thing.I've tried to mark the fields that I don't want to view as "Visible = 'false'" but with no good results!
I have a details view on my page that has a template field in it. In the template field is a button that when clicked, sets the visible property of another field to true. When this happens the whole detailsview resets and anything that was entered into other fiields is cleared. Is there any way to prevent the other fields from being cleared when the hidden field is set to be shown.
In this case I'm having, the ItemTemplate for various fields in my DetailsView (2 in my case) does not show up, but when you click the edit button, the EditItemTemplate shows up. I played with it, moving it around. No matter where I put it, one of the fields did not show up.
To get even stranger (and don't ask me how I came up with this), if I put a dummy boundfield BEFORE it, the ItemTemplate shows up. But this is totally absurd.
I have created DetailsView in designer page with SqlDataSource, Details view is with autoGenerateRows="false" i.e. I have declared my own fields. it is fine there, but what if I want to add these fields dynamically from codebehind with select & edit commands. I want to to use Details View in designer page and want to add fields from codebehind
I have GridView control and assosiated DetailView control.
When the record form GridView is seleted, I am showing the details on DetailView.
I have set the Auto generated delete button to true. And now I want to delete the record when someone clicks the Delete button from DetailView control.
I have a working gridView/DetailsView used as a member Lookup.
Some Fields in the Details View have data only some of the time, and when there isn't any, I want to suppress that row of the detail. No Go.
It seems that some of the function available in other controls don't exist so I cannot make the "field and its "header" Visible = "False"
FWIW, The control is nested inside a loginview control.
[Code]....
When I try and put logiin the control the error I get is:
Error 156 Literal content ('<asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-Wrap="false" HeaderText="PO Box:" Visible="') is not allowed within a 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlFieldCollection'. C:UsersBillDocumentsMy Web SitesNausetNewcomersMembershipCopy of Lookup.aspx 345
Im not sure what i could have done wrong here but i created a dataset (ran a query and it returns the correct data) - created my BLL class - bound the ObjectDataSource to the control using the BLL - ran the site and all the data is showing as expected. Now i click edit columns (from DetailsView smart tag) and the selected fields are empty. I refresh the schema and this makes no difference. What could i be doing wrong?
I have set a couple of my DetailsView fields to readonly=true. In Update mode the fields are readonly but in Insert mode they are not readonly. What do I do to set it to readonly or blank (no field for entry)?
When you click the edit button in detailsview I want it to store some values in "PreviousAddress" and "PreviousVehicle" to show what the data used to be before it was edited... Just wondering what would be the best way of doing this?
I'm not sure if you would consider it a foreign key field or not, but I have an agency table with an association to my Project table. It exists primarily to limit the input values of agency in the Project table to those listed in the Agency table. Anyway, everything works fine, except that when you insert/add a project, the Agency field is moved to the end of the list. I'd like to move it back where it belongs (further up the list).
I have a gridview and when i click on the edit button i will get the modalpopup window which is having a popup window i want to update the data in that details view and refresh the data into gridview also.
I have a problem that in DetailsView Edit Mode, if I go to edit fields, and set a fields visible property to false, when I update the record through the built in update options it sends a null value. If I change the field back to visible, it passes the data just fine.
Consequently, I tried just setting the field to Read Only = True, and got the same result even though the current values do show up in the edit mode, just read only.Is there anyway to hide the field but still allow it to pass the data it currently has "BACK" into the record.
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 am trying to update the value of a cell in a gridview at the same as conducting a post back to the DB....

How can I get the new birthdate back into the ("studentDOBLabel") on the template at the same time I update the DB?
I have a FormView that is loaded with a records from my DB. Some of the fields may be blank or null. I am trying to check the value of some of the text boxes to verify that the user has updated the fields prior to allowing a DB update from the Edit Template.
I can not seem to get the correct syntax on the if statment to check the value of the text box....
In the detailsview, I set a edit item template (a bounded dropdownlist control). But in database there are some data not set to a value (null). After clicking edit button in detailsview control I get the error about the value problem (Because after populating the dropdownlist, there is no item as null in it. )How to set dropdownlist selected index when the data is "null"?
I've been using the FilterExpression for the building of my GridView. I've built with this ability before, normally for searching for the name of an individual. However, the new project I'm working on has a small problem. I'm using an AND statement to filter the name via textbox and I'm also checking if the form was completely finished and if the form is reviewed via radio buttons.
Below is the code, but the problem is this. If any of the fields are blank (text field is left blank or the "both" is selected from the radio buttons) the form doesn't process my filter.
Is there an easy way to apply all three filters in a mix and match fashion (like no name, completed, not reviewed or any combination thereof)?
I have an update button in a detailsview. based on certain criteria in the data that is being updated (blank field), I want to stop the update from happening. I tried putting the following code in my UpdateButton: 'check to see if the status is 'complete'
Dim statuscheckbox As CheckBox = TryCast(formulationDetailsView.FindControl("FormulationCompleteCheckBox"), CheckBox)If statuscheckbox.Checked Then 'check to see if color code has been entered Dim colorcodetextbox As TextBox = TryCast(formulationDetailsView.FindControl("ColorCdTextBox"), TextBox)If colorcodetextbox.Text = "" Then 'show a message, the color code has not been entered MessageBox2.Text = "Please enter Color Code prior to complete" statuscheckbox.Checked = False resetformwithoutediting() End
how to stop this code from proceeding to the update?
