Forms Data Controls :: Multiline Textbox To Label In Formview?
Feb 22, 2010
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 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.
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.
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.
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#)?
I've got a formview that does a simple 'SubTotal' calculation based on some checkbox inputs. I write out the subtotal to an asp:label control. I want to be able to also be able to write that value into the QueryString so I can carry it over to another page. I can't seem to access the label from my codebehind (intellisense doesn't find it). I assume I'm not making the correct reference to the formview label control, but I don't know how to go about getting at it.
protected void FormView1_ItemInserted(object sender, FormViewInsertedEventArgs e) { // Here I want to make a label "Saved" visible after user inserts the record into the formview. // the label is in InsertItemTemplate of the formview next to Insert and Cancel Links. It is invisible by default. // Is this the right event that i am in to do something like this.. if there is any other way to do this, }
I have a label inside a formview that is not bound to anything.
Lets say I have a table of customers (with a key field called CustomerID), and then another table that has all their orders (with amount spent per order (OrderID) - based on CustomerID)
On the FormView there is a key field (CustomerID) (this is to be used as an INPUT parameter to a SP - which is to return the SUM of all the customers (Order_Totals). I could nest a view within a view I suppose to get this result, however, I just want a label to simply show this ScalarValue.
Basically, I want the label to show the aggregate (SUM) total amount each customer has spent on all orders. I have a SP called SumCost with two Fields (one a grouped by field CustomerID and the other a Summed Total of each customer's orders SumCost)
SELECT [SumCost] FROM [SumCost] WHERE ([CustomerID] = @CustomerID)
I test my SP and it works great, returning the value based on CustomerID - no problem.
My problem is getting the CustomerID passed into the SP on runtime (do I put it in FormView2_Databound) and putting the value into the label (CustTotalLbl) which is inside this form.
I have a textbox inside edit template and it is binded with the data. Somehow, textbox data starts from the middle instead at the beginning of the box. I can use textarea where it starts from the starting point but I cant bind the data inside the gridview.
In web config file I have add key values specified.
In the formview I have labels on edit , item and insert mode that I want to display all the time by getting those values from web config. I'm able to do that with no problem but when I change the modes between edit to insert or item view, I lose those label values until I hit the "select" twice from the Gridview, those values re-appear. Below is the snippet of the code. What do I need to do to retain the category values all the time?
I am developing a message pool means like a Facebook when we click on above message icon all message show in list .then click on the sender name all message show that person. For
That kind of message poll am developed two pages one page is sender and the other one is receiver .when I send message from sender page it will be saved into data base and show into other pages text box.
Now problem is that the receiver pages cannot show all messages .it will show one first message which are saved into database.
I want it will show all messages which are sending from sender page. below my all code.

How to display data from textarea the way it is been typed as ineg. hiiihello what are u doing I want to display the data typed in textarea shown above inside the panel the way it is typed.
I have a set of data is my database. Need to pull the data and display in a textbox which is set to Multiline mode. The problem is i need to display the that is being retrieved from database is a particular format with line breaks.
Ex:
INT/1241/STD3//TestCondition/ Info:<data> Test Criteria:<data> Test Results:<data> Conclusion:<data> Tested by:<data>
This is the pattern in which i want to display the details in the text box. All Data is retrieved from data base, there is a line break after each line.
On one screen I have the user enter some stuff in a multiline textbox, and then save it to db. On another screen I make an html summary report which includes a column for that multiline textbox data. When the report is rendered, the column with mutiline textbox data doesn't seem to understand the line breaks in the text, and just happily runs on until the end of the column width, wrapping the text wherever it might be at the moment.
When I stop at a breakpoint in visual studio and look at the data with the visualizer, it comes up formatted properly with the line breaks. So I guess it's really just the html rendering that's killing me. So how can I get linebreaks in database text data to render as linebreaks in the generated html report row?
Example of the html generation code I'm using for the column with possible linebreaks (it all takes place within the usual while reader.read(), etc.:
I need to set the value of TextBox in a FormView when the mode changes to Insert. But when I was trying to get it to work, neither one of the code blocks below worked. The value was not set, despite the TextBox being found. Furthermore, the 'test' label text wasn't being set. I know for certain that both events are firing. I had added the test label to disploay the mode or newmode of the FormView but the label wasn't being set at all.
