I have a GridView or DetailsView and its bound to a CslaDataSource.I noticed that the "Object_Select()" event is fired automatically with every time the page is loaded or refreshed.How I can perfrom mnaual biding between the DetailsView Control and CslaDataSource ?I want to control binding via code using the DetailsView.DataBind() method in certain cases only.
View 4 RepliesI have a manual binding to a grid view. After that, I found out the Grid_View.Columns.Count still give me 0.
I tried to set this:
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
After I set this value, the gridview become empty. Wonder if the False causing the column count to be 0.

I have a manually binded gridview, which I set AutoGenerateColumns=False. I then tried to set AllowSorting=true at runtime, but it wont work.
My gridview are created during runtime.
I having problem binding web service result into a gridview. I using Word Dictionary Web Service for my project. Below is part of my code.
Web References I using is :
[URL]
Protected void Button1_Click(object sender,
EventArgs e) {
DictService ds = new DictService();
ds.DefineAsync(TextBox1.Text);
ds.DefineCompleted += new DefineCompletedEventHandler(ds_DefineCompleted); }
void ds_DefineCompleted(object sender, DefineCompletedEventArgs e){
GridView1.DataSource = e.Result;
GridView1.DataBind();}
The Error i get is : Data source is an invalid type. It must be either an IListSource, IEnumerable, or IDataSource.
I have a DetailsView with some templates. I would like to bind a textbox in one of the templates to a field of a datasource which is not the datesource of the DetailsView. What is the syntax of the Bind() or Eval() code expression to do this, assuming it's possible?
Also where can I find some material on syntax of these "code expressions" and what can be in them?
I realize I'm missing something pretty basic here...

I have a FormView that I user for updating a record. There is a link button that when fires should perforom the updating via BLL and DAL. I am not using built-in ODS and I will not condsider using it. I have all my grids and formviews populated manuualy by calling methods that fetch the data from the database. For instance my details view is populated like this:
protected void DlMembers_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName.ToString() == "Select")
{
DlMembers.Visible = false;
lblError.Text = string.Empty;
lblError.Visible = false;
fvMemberDetail.Visible = true;
fvMemberDetail.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Edit);
MemberBLL getMemberInfo = new MemberBLL();
int Ident = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
fvMemberDetail.DataSource = getMemberInfo.GetMemberByIdent(Ident);
fvMemberDetail.DataBind();
}
if (e.CommandName.ToString() == "DeleteSelected")
{
DlMembers.Visible = true;
lblError.Text = string.Empty;
lblError.Visible = false;
fvMemberDetail.Visible = false;
fvMemberDetail.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.ReadOnly);
}
What I want to do if to capature my linkbutton on click event and do this (except that the runtime never reaches this method):
protected void MemberInfoUpdating(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox id = (TextBox)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("txtIdent");
if (id.Text != string.Empty || id.Text != "")
{
TextBox txtFN = (TextBox)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("txtFN");
TextBox txtLN = (TextBox)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("txtLN");
DropDownList ddlAddress = (DropDownList)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("ddlAddress");
TextBox txtEmail = (TextBox)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("txtEmail");
TextBox txtHPhone = (TextBox)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("txtHPhone");
TextBox txtWPhone = (TextBox)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("txtWPhone");
TextBox txtMPhone = (TextBox)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("txtMPhone");
DropDownList ddlPos = (DropDownList)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("ddlPos");
DropDownList ddlIsAdmin = (DropDownList)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("ddlIsAdmin");
bool blIsAdmin = false;
if (ddlIsAdmin.SelectedValue == "True") blIsAdmin = true;
TextBox txtComments = (TextBox)fvMemberDetail.FindControl("txtComments");
MemberBLL updateMemberInfo = new MemberBLL();
bool UpdateOK = updateMemberInfo.UpdateMemberByIdent(
txtFN.Text,
txtLN.Text,
ddlAddress.SelectedValue,
txtEmail.Text,
txtHPhone.Text,
txtWPhone.Text,
txtMPhone.Text,
blIsAdmin,
txtComments.Text,
Convert.ToInt32(ddlPos.SelectedValue),
Convert.ToInt32(id.Text));
}
else
{
//Display error - no user id cannot update record
}
}
The linkbutton looks like this:
<asp:LinkButton ID="UpdateButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="True"
OnClick="MemberInfoUpdating" Text="Update" />
I have a Formview binded in the code file to a generic list. Now, upon editing of a record, I wish to access the Keys and NewValues out of the FormViewUpdateEventArgs parameter of the ItemUpdating event handler method. From what I've tried and searched over the internet as of now, I've come to know that updated values are only available if the Formview is set a data source control on the markup page else they'd be null. Is this true?
Secondly, at this moment I am casting the sender object to formview and individually filling each object property by using FindControl method to find and retrieve values present in the controls. Is this the best way to do this task? As an example, this is what I am doing atm:
FormView currentForm = (FormView)sender;
ListObject.ID = new Guid(((HiddenField)(currentForm.FindControl("hdnID"))).Value);
ListObject.Name = ((TextBox)(currentForm.FindControl("txtName"))).Text;
I've posted this some place else but have not heard from anyone and hoping I get better luck here.
Note: Sorry about the formating, not sure what happened.

I'm new to ASP.net 3.5 and trying to create a test site so I can figure out how to use it in the real world. I have created a FormView (Formview1) based on a Client table using Linq Data Sources. The page includes a DropDownList to lookup Clients. I have added a list option (<asp:ListOption value="" Text="(Select Client)" and set AppendDataBoundItems=true so my added option is displayed. I decided to try to use Formview with only the Edit and Insert Modes, and I have set the Default Mode = Insert. When you open the page, a blank Client record is displayed.
The Client record contains serveral lookup fields and they have drop down lists for each. When I select a client from the Client DropDownList, is get the following message 'ddlClientType' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items I had this problem before and decided the best way to handle this (in the interim) was to turn off foreign key constraints for each of the lookup fields (e.g. ClientType) in SQL Server. That worked for 2-3 days. Now the problem has started again.
When I develop in other applications, I would simply create a lookup data source based on a Union Query with the actual data and a blank record. How can you do this using Linq DataSources. Can you get access and modify the queries?
I've been using the Item Inserted event for my data controls, such as details view. I'm wondering if there are advantages to doing this with the data sources instead of the data control. There is a lot of overlap in the events provided by these two types of controls. Are there advantages to using the events raised by the data source instead of the ones raised by the data control itself. Should I be using the events raised by the data source instead of the control used to enter the data?
View 2 RepliesI used bind all GridViews, DetailViews etc. on my page using an ObjectDataSource (unless it wasn't possible to do so). Recently, I've started binding all my contols programatically. I find this a lot cleaner and easier, though some may disagree. Binding with a ObjectDataSource obviously has it advantages and disadvantages, as does doing it programatically.Say I bind a GridView programatically (e.g. GridView1.DataSource = SomeList), when I change page on the GridView, I have to also code this. Each time the page changes I have to call GridView1.DataSource = SomeList again. Obviously with a ObjectDataSource I don't need to do this. I normally stick my SomeList object into the ViewState so when I change page I don't need to hit the database each and every time.
My question is: Is this how the ObjectDataSource works? Does it store it's data in the ViewState and not hit the database again unless you call the .Select method? I like to try and get the best performance out of my applications and hit the database as few times as possible but I don't really like the idea of storing a huge list in the ViewState. Is there a better way of doing this? Is caching per user a good idea (or possible)? Shall I just hit the database everytime instead of storing my huge list in the ViewState? Is it sometimes better to hit the database than to use ViewState?

.I have a search page where I would search for an item and it would dispaly the results in a gridview...
I have allowed paging and set page size to 10..now I can see the 10 results in the first page and also see the page numbers at the bottom of gridview. But now when i click on the page 2, the method gridview_pageindexchanging is triggered but the result set is not dispalyed. My code is as below..

i understand that the data is not binding in the GridView1_PageIndexChanging method..I do not know how can I make data bind..

I'm creating a page that allows the user to create a new object that will later be stored in the database. The problem is that the design of ASP.NET data controls seems to insist upon only working with pre-existing data that has been stored in a database (or XML, etc...).
I'm basically trying to get the user to compose a list of items and specify a quantity for each item. I could do this by generating table rows but the rows are lost at each postback. The data view controls seem to be designed only to be bound to a data source but until the list is complete, the data can only be in memory.
What control is appropriate for this and how can I achieve this with that control?
I have a gridview which uses an EditItemTemplate and an ItemTemplate for an 'Effect' column. The ItemTemplate simply displays the bound data using a label control. The EditItemTemplate defines a databound DropDownlist control which contains all the possible selections.
The gridview also contains a bound 'State' column which gives the State of each row. I have already been able to access this field in the gridview_RowDataBound event, so far using the value to decide whether to re-colour a row or not. What I would like to do is use this value to determine whether to use the ItemTemplate or the EditItemTemplate for each row.
Effectively I want to be able to decide whether to display just the data (For an Approved row) or display the DropDownList and allow the user to make updates (For an In Work row). I have searched for information on this issue online but have not found a lot, so I presume that my approach is not possible.
I have created a GridView, but the DataSet is created manually.Do I loose the built-in sort functionality of a Gridview? ....because I'm getting an unhandled exception when I try and click on the header now to sort. So I assume the answer is YES.
View 5 Repliesregarding getting data from XML file and binding gridview with data .
View 6 RepliesI go this code that can so a manual sorting on grid view. The code works fine for "ASC", when I wanted to sort the field to DESC, it never works. Second, it also failed when I switch to another page. Case 1: By default, the column is sorted DESC, then I switch to ASC, works fine, then I switch to DESC, it failed (remain at ASC).Case 2: By default, the column is sorted DESC, then I switch to ASC, works fine, then I switch to other page, it failed (remain at DESC on new page).

I've been trying to marry up the listview and the Data pager with my own, Database class that pulls the information from the database.
I can display the information ok no problem, fortunately this time I know what the problem is, but I cannot figure out a way around the problem.
In my Page_Load event I fill out the listview accordingly:
[Code]....
The problem lies in the postback, I need to figure out a way get the information as to what state the DataPager is in so I could update the Query accordingly.
I know there is a StartRowIndex avaialbe but this does not get updated in the Page_Load event.
I am trying to create FormView that has details aboout author. But some details about his books like pubdate, title resides in some other table. In the source page:
<asp:Label id"AuthorName" Text='<% #Bind("au_fname")%>' runat="server/>
but this field has to be obtained from other table:
<asp:Label id="AuthorTitle" Text='<% #Bind("title")%>' runat="server"/>
the title resides in titleauthor table, can we use two connections(author, titlesauthor) simultaneously.
I have GridView that is bound to an ObjectDataSource and within that GridView I have CheckBox, DropDownList, TextBox and Label controls. All the controls except the CheckBoxs are working like a champ or normal display and Delete (Insert is handled outside the GridView, it works also). The CheckBox values are passed into the update method for the ObjectDataSource as type byte. Without doing any custom coding the CheckBoxs were always unchecked (regardless of the data being 1 or 0) and when I edit a row in the GridView and saved the values the CheckBox controls would always be 0 even if the check boxes where checked. After searching web I found a suggestion to change the binding on the CheckBox controls from, Bind("Monday") to this, CheckUncheck(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Monday")) with CheckUncheck being a method to make 0 or null = false and 1 = true. This seemed to the do the trick and it set the CheckBoxs correctly in the DataGrid, I was giving myself high-fives, until I tried to update a row.
When doing the update, as with my first attempt, it would always set the CheckBox values to 0, thus ignoring the checked property of the CheckBox. So I search the web again and found a suggestion to handle the update manually, due to the binding being one way. So I created a myUnhappyGrid_RowUpdating event handler and changed all the columns in the GridView to template so I could do the old school .FindControl on them and grab the values. Once I was able to grab the values from the row to be updated I added them to the ObjectDataSource .UpdateParameters and called ObjectDataSource.Update() and it worked, kind of. Now came the next trial, it did the update into the database just fine and I was happy, until. I finished stepping though the code. As I stepped through the code the update on the ObjectDataSource got called two more times, thus undoing what I had just spent hours fixing. First, is the road traveled the right way to do it? Second, if I am on the correct road how can I suppress the additional two updates that follow my manual .update call on the ObjectDataSource?
I implement a manual sorting codes. It works only for ASC sorting. If you try to sorting gridview again by the same field it does not work. I mean how to solve for the sorting function for DESC
