Forms Data Controls :: Persistent Dynamic Data With No Data Source?
Apr 30, 2010
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?
Is it possible to use dynamic query filters with a gridview using a stored procedure as a data source? What I'm thinking of is a search page where there are multiple controls to enter in a search string and a radio button for the AND/OR query filters between the various controls. If not, what would be the best way to allow a user to select an AND / OR with a group of different query controls?
Here is the page I have created thus far using a view and no AND/OR option. I but I can't get it to work with my SP, also listed below:
This is my code and i am only able to edit the one data under the category school.But what i nd is to edit the other categories like the name,email...etc..how do i modify my code in the update command.Another thing is to delete the data how do i do that?
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?
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.
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:
Error is:- The data source does not support server-side data paging.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.NotSupportedException: The data source does not support server-side data paging.

for child grid datasource if am not mistaken, guess need to assign the datasource during runtime. am not sure how to do this?
I have extended GridView in order to have consistent look & feel, paging and sorting. However, when the page is first time loaded, the select method is getting called twice. It works fine when i move between pages in pagination.
i wanted to retrieve things from the data base and perform mathmatical operations on it then post it to the user, so i was told to use the bullited list and bind it to the object dataSource
I have a gridview with daatsource from MembershipUserCollection. When my collection doesn't contain any records the gridview just disappears. I want to display the empty gridview indicating no records exist rather than the grid just become invisible.
This should give me the friends of the user currently logged in in the Repeater, but gives me an exception on the runtime that an instance needs to be initialized, can you please suggest a solution...
Also, what should be the value of the NavigateUrl property of a Hyperlink in an ItemTemplate if the url is:
"http://domain.com/viewprofile.aspx?id=" + 'THE UserID property of the current element in the list'
I have a gridview and I have an edit template for one control. I have a drop down box in this edit template so that you can select a value from it and then when you hit 'Update' the value from the drop down box is committed to the updated record. Unfortunately when I do hit the update button I get a fault that the "Status" field cannot be null.
Here is the code that picks the value from the drop down value and assigns it to the new values list:
I'm using a GridView to output some information regarding an account, specifically account balances. Problem is, if there is no balance linked to the account, I need for the grid to simply display 0 for each column. EmptyDataText isn't sufficient as the columns still need to be listed, but just have the value 0.
After researching it seems like I will need to add a dummy row to the gridview if it is empty, but how do I do this using C# and ASP? Quick note as well, not sure if it's relevant but the grid will only ever contain one row.
I populate a DetailsView from an ObjectDataSource that is coded in a class - meaning that the ods Select, Update, Insert and Delete are class methods. The selected record is set to come from a GridView.SelectedValue.
My problem is that when the page loads the code crashes. I am pretty sure I know why: the DetailsView is pulling from a class object and instead of using the existing class object it instansiates a new one which is empty.
Here is the details view code:
[Code]....
Here is the odsDetailsView_1:
[Code]....
As you can see from the code the odsDetailsView gets it's information from a class object "Match". The detailsview is not controlled by any code behind.
i am working on a website,As i am new to coding i got a problem in it. It was,I hav a gridview in which i am adding the details about a college, and in that i had a buton ("btnReservation") on clicking it another grid will be appeared in which, i hav to enter the reservation details so, till this step it is working fine, but if i enter one college details and clicking on the btnReservetion the grid is being dispalyed and i am able to enter and save the data, But if i enter the details of another college and clicking on the btnReservation, the rows which i hav already entered in the Reservation grid for the previous record are not being Refreshed and are remaining the same,So now i hav to make the gridview datasource null.
I have the web page that meet the problem. There exists a gridview and filtering. When Select all by using function A, it is OK. when Filter by using function B, it cannot filter and return no rows. When Select all again, it is OK. I have tested that function B can return the corrected filtered rows. But when databind in the web page, it cannot show and no error?
I'm exploring ASP.net. I have created a FormView based on Linq Data Sources. There are several fields in my datasource that are either future or archaic.
1) Do all fields in the DataSource need to have a control in the FormView? 2) Does ASP.net need to insert/update all fields in the DataSource?
I have a DataList bound to a SqlDataSource, but I need to <#%Eval("")%#> a textbox in the same DataList from a different AccessDataSource. Is this possible?
I have a gridview in a user control which I'm using to display a list of items. The data source is a list of objects (not using ObjectDataSource). I have paging enabled on my gridView. The trouble is that I am forced to rebind my grid in my paging method, otherwise the grid loses all it's data when a user clicks a page button. Is there a good way of binding to an enumerable list such that the values are reused on postback?
I'm using the DetailView control to display employee details from a specfic company, but it seems when I try to create the query in the data source wizard I'm unable to select the variable for the WHERE clause, only the web pages control components.
The employees are selected through the company name which is entered at the beginning of the page and in turn is used to select the company id.
