Forms Data Controls :: Making Reference To Controls In DataList HeaderTemplate?
Mar 15, 2010
Probably a fairly simple one. Just need to know how I can make reference to controls in the HeaderTemplate of a DataList. I've got a form in there that I need to get the data from.
i'd like to have a datalist displaying which friends a user has that are "online now" or at least "were online within the last 5 minutes"
assume i have a database of user profiles, and another of friends, and i can succesfully get a list of the user's friends into the datalist already. i also have a "lastlogin" datevar that i can easily pull that'll tell me the last time this user was logged in.
i want this datalist to auto-update without the user having to do it, or notice, unless online users change. it shouldn't refresh the entire page or anything, i want to tuck it away in a corner for the user to check on while his browser sits on the page if he wants.
i have no experiencing setting up any kind of automated or timed interval process for my .net c# site, and i'm generally a novice so please be gentle. where do i start this?
i have code in item databound, but i want to move it to prerender... how do i reference the controls correctly in prerender? in item databound i use e.item....?, what do i use in prerender?:
protected void DataList1_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e) { Label Label55 = e.Item.FindControl("Label55") as Label; Label Label56 = e.Item.FindControl("Label56") as Label;
I have a question involving the ItemDataBound EventI have a linkbutton, btnOverview, that is displayed in a DataList ItemTemplate.I would like to select 1 of 2 imageurls for this button based on the value of haseOverview which is a field returned by the SelectCommend of the sqlDataSourcefor the DataList. I am not sure of how to reference this field.I have highlighted what I think is he relevant code section below.
I have an imagebutton control in the column HeaderTemplate of a gridview and want to know how to reference the imagebutton so I can add an attribute to it programmatically. Following is the code for my gridview control:
[Code]....
I can reference the checkbox control correctly with CheckBox chkbox = GridView1.FindControl("chkSelected") as CheckBox;However, I have tried the following code for the imagebutton but I get the error message Object reference not set to an instance of an object.:
[Code]....
Or is the OnInit event handler the right place to reference the control?
I have a dropdownlist in a headertemplate but I can't seem to access it in the code behind to work with the onselectedindexchanged event. I want to change the data that is shown on the event but can't access the control.
I am using an event calendar control (not a MS control) and I am trying to access a LinkButton inside this control's HeaderTemplate. Below is what I have tried so far. I get the familiar "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. Does anyone has an alternate way to get this control? I need to change the visibility property of it.
Scenario: I am creating a custom gridview control which has a custom CheckBoxTemplateField column (deriving from TemplateField class). This template field column has custom Checkboxheadertemplate (implementing ITemplate) and CheckboxItemTemplate (also implementing ITemplate). In InstantiateIn method of both templates (header as well as Item template), I am adding a checkbox control which has Autopostback = true.
My requirement is: I want to mark all the values in the binding column of datasource if checkbox in headertemplate is checked. I dont want to mark only rows visible on grid. I WANT TO MARK ALL ROWS IN DATASOURCE. I want to do this in _CheckedChanged event of checkbox in header template.
Problem I am facing: When I check/uncheck the checkbox in header, it postbacks. so in OnCheckedChanged event, gridview's datasource is null. Secondly, in any event of gridview, I could access only those rows of datasource for which corresponding rows are visible in gridview through Gridviewrow.DataItem property. But I want to set it for all rows in datasource.
The problem is that i have a search page. Access Database holding the information. I have a Access Datasource on the page with a Datalist to show the data. I need to find a way on setting it up to says "Sorry no results found" when the is no results. i am unsure on how to do this though.
Am building a Form for out intranet that runs on ASP.NET and C#, it is to be a survey from a SQL database. I have the connections setup can pull informations/Questions from the database. I am having a problem with setting up radio buttons within a datalist, ive never done this and i know they require unque names.
It is to be 4 radio buttons per question where only one can be select, i know how to group just not via a datalist with unique names
I am trying to place a datalist inside datalist. I managed to place a datalist inside gridview but not datalist inside datalist.
Below is the code I am using to bind the datalist into the master gridview, I am trying to change this code in such way it will be right for datalist inside datalist but so far I did not succeed.
i have a datalist . that is contains 7 columns in repeat layout .when i have more from 7 columns , datalist style is normal .but when i have smaller than 7 columns ! data list style is not normal,
because there are some empty columns without specific schema.
How i can make a datalist > when i have 1 columns in my datalist my first layout width be 100% ;
I have a page where my user enters a search term and submits it against my database. What I want to happen is when the result(s) return, I want headings to pop up over my gridviews. For example, I want "Photographs" to appear over my gridview for photographs, "Documents" to appear of my gridview for documents, etc...
When I run my page, those headers are already there, even though I have not conducted a search yet and my gridviews have not populated. If I go into properties and select visible=false, they never show up, which is not exactly what I want either. I have read about literals, textboxes, panels, and have confused myself.
I would like to add a column in my datagridview that takes the value from the database and asigns it to the text of a linkbutton or make it a hyperlink. i know how to handle getting the value from the row but dont know how to make a value a link, or set the text to a link button
I have a issue, and i need your opinion how I can do it. May be someone from you did the same.
for example, we have structure of property address what stored in database:
0. Property type
1. Region
2. Postal Code
3. City
4. Street
5. List of properties
I need to build SiteMap with work with SiteMapPath.
If we have small count of records in database this is not a problem but what I need to do if in database present extrimally big count of element for each node (from 0-5) ?
make query to each element and build site map this is not good for two reason perfomance and count of queries to DB.
