Forms Data Controls :: Populating Formview Fields Using Database?

Feb 1, 2010

I'm not sure if I can explain this properly, I just need some advise. I'm working with a formview and datasets to populate the information. However I have a table specifiying which fields to display. In my table If cell, work and home fields are selected then those fields must be populated in the formview if they not selected then it shouldn't be shown. These are 2 different datasets being pulled into the formview.

Right now I have a datasource populating the formview via the wizard, not sure what to do next.

Forms Data Controls :: Populating DropDownList In FormView From Code Behind?

Oct 25, 2010

On my formview I have a drop down list that is populated with the names of the files in a certain directory. This works fine, but when the drop down list selected value is bound to the database field I get the following error :

'ImageFileDropDownList' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value

I have setup other drop down lists in the same formview populated from SqlDataSources and these all work fine. I can see perhaps why this is an issue because I have not specified a DataValueField or a DataTextField for this drop down that is populated in code (whereas I can for the SQL bound ones) because I'm not sure what these settings would be.

I need to have a "blank" option as well so that the field does not default to the first value in the list.

My code (I have stripped out some meaningless controls) :

Forms Data Controls :: Dynamically Populating Fields In A Gridview Depending On Data In A Table?

Jul 17, 2010

I have a gridview that is populating from a SQL DB and working fine. However, based upon certain data I find in fields in the SQL table, I want to place a 'n' or a 'y' in extra columns in the gridview that I am assuming need to be templatefields. My thought was I could maybe add 8 template columns and then I could put a 'y' in the appropriate column based upon the data I find the table. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do this. I want to do this at rowdatabound time ( i think) but I just cannot find out how to, in my code, put that 'y' in the columns. Is this the right way to do this or do I need to do it another way? How do I get that 'y' in the proper column?

DataSource Controls :: Linq / ObjectDataSource With Only A Few Database Fields On Formview

I am working on an application and am attempting to use Linq with and ObjectDataSource but I only want to display/update 50% of the fields that are in the corresponding table. It appears to me that for this to work correctly, I need hidden fields on my form for all of the data fields from the table that the user cannot access. Is this the only way to do this?

Forms Data Controls :: FormView With Empty Byte Fields?

Sep 2, 2010

I have a FormView with a byte field. The field is not required and if I don't enter a value, I get an error that the value is not acceptable in a byte field. I can replace the null value with 0 but I would prefer not to.

What is the best way to handle this so that if I do not enter a value in a byte (or int16) field to insert a null value (or whatever they do in the ASP.net).

Forms Data Controls :: Formview Update Crashes If ID Fields Are Empty?

Apr 8, 2010

I have a Formview control that has several lookup fields. The value is an int ID but the textfield is the name, e.g. value = StateID, displayed text = StateCode)

If the user leaves that field blank, I get a Server Error when attempting to Update: Failed to set one or more properties on type orgOrganization. is not a valid value for Int32.

In the table for the LinqDataSource which provides the data for the Formview, all fields except the text field OrganizationName allow Nulls.

Does anyone know why this might be happening? I tried a test which just has the numbers, no lookups, and get the same result.

Forms Data Controls :: Populating DropDownList Inside A ListView Inside A FormView

Jan 16, 2010

I have the following (abbreviated) code:

<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="ItemID" DataSourceID="LinqDataSource1">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCategory" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("Category") %>'
DataSource="<%# GetCategories() %>" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="Value" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ListView ID="lvParticipants" runat="server" DataSource='<%# Eval("Participants") %>' >
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("Country") %>'
DataSource="<%# GetCountries() %>" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="Value" />
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
<ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>

When the FormView is in Edit mode, ddlCategory is populated as expected by calling GetCategories(), which returns a List of categories. However, when the ListView is in Insert mode, ddlCountry is empty. I put a break point in GetCountries(), but it never gets called. If I change the name of the method, I get an error. So it recognizes the method at compile time, but does not call it at run time. I'm guessing this is an embedded binding issue of some kind, but I'm hoping someone can save me a lot of time by pointing out the solution.

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?

Forms Data Controls :: Populating Dynamic Dropdownlists / Only One Call To Database For All Dropdowns Rendered

Mar 8, 2011

I have a page with a data repeater. Each row has a dropdownlist for the user to select a value and the values in every dropdown are the same. I also have an SqlDataSource which each dropdownlist gets its values from as its created. Everything is working as it should but for each dropdown that is rendered a seperate call is made to the database.

suggest a better way for me to do this that means only one call to the database for all dropdowns rendered?

Forms Data Controls :: Asp 3.5 Time Field In FormView / Update/insert Time Fields?

Oct 20, 2010

This is the sqlDateTime overflow problem again. Background. As I'm sure you know dates must be between 1/1/1753 and 12/31/2999. If you have an empty date field, it throws and exception. So I created a function (below) that solve the problem when attempting to update or insert a record with a date field. Works great.

Public Shared Function MakeDateField(ByVal pasDate As String) As Nullable(Of DateTime)

If IsDate(pasDate) Then
Try
If pasDate <= System.DateTime.MinValue Then
Return Nothing
Else
Return CType(pasDate, DateTime)
End If
Catch ex As NullReferenceException
Return Nothing
End Try
Else
Return Nothing
End If
End Function

So I thought about using a time field. I have the field, have the validator in place and then attempted to test the page. It resulted in my least favorite error message "sqlDateTime overflow".

I can think of several workarounds like adding a date or a fixed date to the time field, or converting it to a string. Each of these is problematic.

IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO UPDATE/INSERT TIME FIELDS.

Forms Data Controls :: Formview Insert Template Fill Like Edit Item Template For All Fields

Mar 3, 2010

I have a formview with various templates set up for a database that has 255 columns. I need the insertitemtemplate to pre-fill values based upon a specific selection by the user (just like the edit item template) but when the template is switched to insertitemtemplate every text box is cleared. The idea is that a new entry is usually made by making minor changes to an existing entry. With 255 fields I don't want to require the user to enter every field when only three or four need to change.

Web Forms :: Selecting A Value In A Drop Down Box And Then Populating 2 Fields Based On Value

Feb 11, 2010

What is the best way to do the above? Basically i have a drop down list box with a list of names pulled from a database. When someone selects a name i would then like to populate two further boxes with the persons Login ID and Email address which are held on the same DB. I have currently been using Combox1_selected index change and then running a select query on the database to fill in the other fields - unfortuntly this is too slow. There must be a better way then this? I will also need to put the values in a DB in a later stage so will need to be able to retrieve these values.

As an infopath developer this can be done easily on InfoPath using a filter - is there anything similar in ASP.net

Forms Data Controls :: Read The Fields From A Database Table And Insert In The ItemTemplate Controls?

Sep 16, 2010

I want to add controls (or simply texts) to a ListView inside the ItemTemplate at run time.

The reason is that in my application I don't know in advance how many controls (or texts) I should insert.

For example I have to read the fields from a database table and insert in the ItemTemplate controls according to those fields:

<ItemTemplate>
<%# Eval("fieldname1")%> - <%# Eval("fieldname2")%> - <%# Eval("fieldname3")%> - .....

Afterwards I have to bind the ListView to the table content, so I need to preserve the <%# ... %> structure for the binding
