Forms Data Controls :: Multiline Option For A Label In A Detailsview
Nov 10, 2010
I have been used to using non enabled textboxes (with multiline as textmode option) in the past as a way to display multiple lines in a detailsview template. However, what I want to achieve is a scenario where I can use a label with a multiline option instead of a textbox. The reason for this is that I am outputting the content in the detailsview to pdf format and I do not want all the text in a label/textbox bunched up.
I have a formview containing an insert template. One of the fields you can insert is a multiline textbox. When i update or insert, i write the value to an SQL database. The next time i edit the record, everything shows up in the multiline textbox as it was when i inserted it. This includes the newlines(or break rules, or whatever you call it in english) i've entered.
For my itemtemplate, i want to use a label to represent this value. But when i do so, it doesn't use newlines, it just puts the text in one line.
How does the multiline textbox save these 'new lines' to the database? and how can i retrieve them when using a label?
I have a databound label control (i.e. Label 3) inside an Item Template that's in a DetailsView control. I just need to get the value of those label and compare it to some string. I tried several ways (i.e. Find control, DetailsView.Row) but nothing seems to work. I don't know if I'm using the FindControl methos correctly or if I need to access the Row first and do the findcontrol method.
i am using visual studio 2008 vb. i have a dropdownlist in my detailsview populated with product id. when i select an id, the product name will appear on a label. however, when i change the product id in the dropdownlist, an error occur "Conversion from string "ProductName" to type 'Integer' is not valid." Here's the code file.
Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim lbl As Label = DetailsViewOrderDetails.FindControl("Label4") Dim ddl As DropDownList = DetailsViewOrderDetails.FindControl("DropDownList1") lbl.Text = ddl.SelectedValue("ProductName").ToString() End Sub
I am trying to programmatically set some lables inside a DetailsView that is populated by an ObjectDataSource. The detailsview is handled in an unusual way with one TemplateField that has one ItemTemplate that has one table that has two rows of significance and a boatload of bound items. I'll be working on the EditTemplate next. But now I need to set the top row lable values programmatically baised on the type of data that comes-up. I have scoured the Internet looking for ideas and found two possible approaches - neither worked. I get the error about something not being set to an instance of the object - or something like that.
Here is the ObjectDataSource:
[Code]....
Here is the DetailsView:
[Code]....
My first approach was to set the OnSelected property to the following code in the code behind, which executes:
[Code]....
My second approach was to delete that OnSelected property and try the following code in the code behind:
I am trying to arrange the information from a SQL record into a 3 column by 3 row table to fit the form presentation that I want. I have placed on the page 3X3 table and then tried to place a detailsview in the first cell for the first picture called P1dv.
I have place a detailsview in the last cell that would control the paging of information called Controldv. I need to fiqure out how to link P1dv paging to Controldv page action. I am using visual web dev. 2005. I am not updating or editing these are read only views.
example of what i need the form output to look like:
But I´m trying to do that programmatically, not with the sqldatasource. So I wrote the method that binds data to Detailsview and I call it in the page_load. The problem is that I have to click two times on the select button to view the detailsview. The first time I click on the select button nothing happens.
I have a gridview with a Select button. Clicking the Select button for a particular item, I need its full details displayed in DetailsView. how I can bind to DetailsView? Here is what I have so far.
i have created a GridView with three columns, one of the columns is showing data each word in a single line, I need it to show the data on the whole line and when it end jump on the next line
My application has a ajax.net popup. There are two mulitline textboxes with two buttons. One moves the names from one box to the empty box and the other puts the name/s back. Where can I find some examples on how to do that? Oh the data source is a database.
I have Template fields configured for Gridview. The gridview is using an objectdatabsource to bind itself. I have the gridview configured to use Templatefields which then contain tables to display the information. This works fine.
My question is, is it possible to change the text of the label if certain criteria is reached. If "NumberOfDwellings" is 1 then change the label to read, "1 Dwelling". Where-as if NumberOfDwellings has more than one then it's "3 Dwellings".
i want to display a multiline text in a datagrid i insert the text in a textbox outside the datagrid.
the textbox wraps the text if it doesnt fit to the textbox length.then i push a button and insert that text in a database. then i want to display this text in a datagrid.i use two options in a label or in a textbox in a templatecolumn but with the textbox <asp:textbox ID="textbox1" runat="server" style="overflow:hidden" Font-Size="15px" BackColor="#FFFFC0" TextMode="multiline" Width="750px" Wrap="true" borderstyle="None" BorderWidth="0" Text='<%# Databinder.Eval(Container.Dataitem,"text_caption") %>'></asp:textbox>
i receive only the first two lines
and with the label <asp:Label ID="Label112" runat="server" BorderStyle="None" Width="750px" BorderWidth="0" Text=' <%# Databinder.Eval(Container.Dataitem,"text_caption") .ToString.Replace(chr(13),"<br />") & "<br/>" & "<br/>" %>' ></asp:Label>
if the text is too big without an enter(that text wraps in the outside inserting textbox) then the datagrid width becomes too big although the text is diplayed normal with new lines so in the datagrid i have much space without characters the textbox that i use to insert new text is here <asp:TextBox D="tbox_text_caption" runat="server" Height="232px" Style="left: 400px; position: absolute; top: 8px" MaxLength="750" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="752px" Wrap="true" TabIndex="5" BackColor="#FFE0C0"></asp:TextBox>
Ok this is a bit weird. If I run this on my machine using IE everything looks fine. If I publish to my server and run using same machine and same browser my multiline textboxes show for a split second correctly then they scroll horizontally and get all messed up? Why are the scrolling horizontally and why do they look fine locally?
I have a gridview that I would like to the set the textbox in edit mode to multi line in order to show more of the content of the cell. Does anyone know how to change this property, I have tried (I think) every single one I could find in the Gridview property settings for editstyle, item style, row style etc.
In the edit template of the listview I have a multiline textbox. But when the row is edited and the template switches to the ItemTemplate, the text is not displaying properly in the associated Label control (missing linebreaks).
I know that the Label control doesn't understand the enter key code, and I need to do a replace on the string. What I have right now is :
Values for multiline textbox in gridview are coming from SQL db "text" type previously entered by user...sometimes a small amount, sometimes a lot. Want to display enough to make it readable without wasting space on the screen. Can't believe this mechanism is not built in but have researched & see I may have to count lines then set the "number of row" property.
Question 1: Should this be done in databound or rowdatabound event?
Question 2: Could someone provide the "row counting" code (in C#)?
In the ASPX.CS file I define a datasouce and manually populate it.
DataColumn MDC = new DataColumn(); MDC.AllowDBNull = false; MDC.AutoIncrement = true; MDC.AutoIncrementSeed = 1; MDC.AutoIncrementStep = 1; MDC.ColumnName = "B2"; MDC.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String"); MDC.Unique = false; MDT.Columns.Add(MDC); MDC = new DataColumn(); MDC.ColumnName = "PRPT"; MDC.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String"); MDT.Columns.Add(MDC); I then manually fill each row: DR = MDT.NewRow(); DR["B2"] = "Test1<br/>Test2"; DR["PRPT"] ="Test3<br/>Test4"; MDT.Rows.Add(DR);
When the Grid is viewed using IE - both the Header and the data rows properly display the cells with multiple lines. When displayed using Firefox or Safari - only the Header utilizes multiple lines - the data rows are on a single line ---- "Test1Test2" what needs to be done to display multiple lines in all three browsers.
how to use a multiline text box that i could copy data into. Lets say addresses one on each line and then click submit and have it display those records in the database (SQL) in a gridview?
i hav a gridview in which i display the project name,created date,Start time ,end time ,total hours.and along with the task id which is visible=false.
using this task id i have to update the totalhours field.In which when i click the edit option in the row(which i hav created using command field)the particular cells ie.,starttime and endtime(format is 2010-10-13 03:00:00)should only be editable.and when i change the time it should be automatically reflected in the total hours filed after updating. how to write the code in rowediting,rowupdating events.
I have a dynamic dropdown that is populated from sql. The user is supposed to select an option from the dropdown, then click a search button on the form to return some results based on that selection. It works fine if the dropdown gets populated with more than one record. However, if only one record is returned, that one record can't be selected. Whether you select it or just leave it alone since it's the only one, when you click the form button (search button), no results are returned b/c the dropdown selection must not be actually selected.
I've included the relevant code below. First the DDL, then the datasource, and finally the C# code in the if (!Page.IsPostBack)
I have a gridview which has the update and cancel option when edit is pressed against a row.i now want to add a delete option as well but not sure how i can do this without reconfiguring the datasource?
