Forms Data Controls :: Selecting Characters Within A Bound Field?
Jan 2, 2011
I am listing details using a gridview and wish to just display the first 50 characters of a 1000 character field. I feel this should be simple but cannot find the solution.
I want to add boundfield to the Detailsview control at the run time. The data is coming from the dataset, which is fetching data from SqlDataAdapter. I tried using the following code
string st = "select * from tbrob,tbemp,tbcty,tbcmp where robfircod=" + TextBox1.Text.ToString() + " and robempcod=empcod and robctycod=ctycod and robcmpcod=cmpcod";
How do I bound a Label to a datasource and its field?I got set up the datasource to a gridview, but don't know how to bind a label to the same datasource.
eI am using themes to set the Gridview font size and font name. I need to set the boundfield to the same font and size as I want it to be application to all the columns in gridview. How can I specify the boundfield properties in the themes.
i have a gridview that has only one column but multiple rows that i converted into a template column.
I have a linkbutton in this column that when clicked should collect the rows primary data key (forumId) and then insert it into a querystring and redirect to the threads page.
How do i select a datakey in the code behind file for the selected row without using the Selectedindexchanged event handler?
I'm hitting a wall trying to format a boundfield of a gridview. I've tried suggestion about setting the htmlencode to false, but that didn't make a difference.The column I am trying to format is:<asp:BoundField DataField="FromDate" HeaderText="Start Date" DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" HtmlEncode="False" />
I have a gridview, which on the row data bound method that inserts a row when comparing values on a particular field. If the two values are different, a new row is inserted, if not no row is inserted. This coding is working as a grouping gridview, and is working correctly. However, I have problem, and problem is counting the rows between each group, which I want to display in my blank row between each group, the value of which I am holding in a hiddenfield.
When I try to do it, the first group doesn't show the result, but is displayed on the next group. I am pretty sure that I am doing something wrong. My approach is that if the value between the last row and the existing row are different, then the value is one, on the next row data bound event, if the values are the same then the value is increased by one, else the value is one because it is a new group. Here is my code:
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { Table tbl = e.Row.Parent as Table; TableCell cell = new TableCell(); CheckBox chk = new CheckBox(); Label lbl2 = new Label(); HiddenField rowValue = new HiddenField(); if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header) { e.Row.Visible = false; } else { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { Session["count"] = 1; Label lbl = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblValue"); string str1 = ((Label)(lbl)).Text; string prevStr= (string)Session["previousStr"]; if (prevStr== str1) { lbl.Visible = false;...................
i am implementing a update query module.i am displaying all fields from a table for a term searched. well now i am implementing update option for the record which are displayed, i have like 70 columns in my table, and i want to know how to restrict some selected fields to be only read only while the form can be updated ?Like if user select to update a record then some selected field such as "Timestamp, UID etc some selected fields" remains READ ONLY !
i list the project descriptions on a field in my gridview, but some of them are too long. i want to limit them like 20 characters of 50 chars can be seen by the user. then pressing a button entire description will be displayed.
I have a grid that is built as well as populated dynamically through c# code. The grid has 3 columns(3 bound fields). And data is being populated in those bound fields through c# code programatically.
Elaborating my question: I have 3 bound field columns(col1, col2 & col3) . I have to increase the rowspan of col2 and col3 headertext's to 2 i.e I want the col2 and col3 header texts to span across two row cells. But the col1 header text should span across just 1 row. And the extra rowscell that is created under col1 due to the increase in the rowspans (of col2 and col3 boundfield headertexts) should be populated with some random text, i.e something like XXXXX
Now i want to get the list of message IDs where the message Text Contains some Special characters as like the characters from the below image. how to query to get the list of message ids where the message text contains any one of this special characters.
I have a gridview that displays the results of a SELECT * from a SqlDataSource. Works great. However one of the fields is a Unique ID linking to another table.
Instead of displaying this Unique ID I would like to do a seperate SQL query like, SELECT name from CONTACTS where UID=UID, and display the name of the item that has the matching Unique ID in the boundField, or another field.
i have data bound field named "Address" haveing width "100px" . whenever i put the string like "6666666666666666666666666" then structure of grid is disturbed even i have set the ItemStyle_wrap="false". but when i put the string like "666 666 6666666 6666666666 666666666" the structure of grid does not change.
When editing a data record from a detailsview, i need the input to be either a Y or N. I tried using a comparevalidator, but it allows only one character in which the value must be equal to.
I've been working on a webform to pull data from an oracle database v10. I can create a gridview1 with Selection enabled and it will populate with data without a problem. However when I create a second gridview and bind with a control to the first gridview, I get the following error at runtime when I click on one of the Selects.
from my collection entity I am getting DayOfTheWeek like 1,2...7. 1 for monday , 2 for tuesday like that. Where should I place condition so that in grid view it would display day name rather than corresponding code.
I have to set maximum length for bound field in an editable gridview. For this i have used data format string property and also given ApplyFormatInEditMode="true" still it accepts invalid input. The gridview does not have template field, it contains bound fields only. I have written OnRowEditing and RowUpdating events. The dataformat string is DataFormatString="{0:N0}" but it accepts '2352345234523454352345' input also and displays server error while updating in database. I want to spcify maximum length for the textboxes generated dynamically when Edit button is clicked.
I have a gridview which contains a dropdownlist inside a TemplateField. The ddl appears correctly and seems to work ok but it isn't updating the table despite being bound to a field.
I just can't figure out how to approach this, but this is what I want, would be I have a database-table containing an XML-field. Using LinqToSql I succesfully bound this table to a GridView and a DetailsView control.ow I wrote a WebUserControl that renders a bunch of textboxes, and has a method 'Serialize' that returns the XElement-object that I can use in my codebehind to assign it to the LinqToSql-property to save it to database. It also has a public property 'Xml' (type string) that I can use to Bind() the xml-string from the database to it, so the WebUserControl can prefill it's textboxes.
