Forms Data Controls :: Sorting By Calculated Templatefield In Datagrid?
Sep 28, 2010
I have tried several different approaches .SOMEONE PLEASE sow me how to sort on template field with a calculated value.Basically i have half the data i need in the DB and the other half comes from textbox1.textI take the text in textbox1 and pass it along with a value from the DB (Orig) to a function that returns miles.
[Code]....
Whit the above method everything displays correctly but i cannot sort on that column .I also tried using the miles() function in my select statement for my datasource but that was a nightmare and couldn't get that to work i either got "undeclared function "miles()" or when i fixed that i got "orig" not declared.Sorry code is so jumbled , entire code is below:
Split off from http://forums.asp.net/t/1595139.aspx:
I have an additional column called 'KPI %' in my gridview that calculates the percentage of two template fields and thus I cannot use the sortexpression on it. How can I sort the contents of the 'KPI %' column in ASC or DESC format?
although i had to take the table that has my calculated column and make a view (so i could filter) and then bind the gridview to the view.
My question is as this.
1.) in order to get my calculated field i had to load my data into a table (as suggested)
2.)Add a column to the table and perform calculations
3.)make a dataview from the tables because i could not get the Gridview.datasource= ds.tables("loads").select("Deadhead <= " & sngRadius
4.)the largest of the 3 tables my query is based on contains about 7000 records. The way i have the logic & programming now everytime a new "truck location" is put in the textbox1 and "find loads/button1" is clicked. It calculates the deadhead miles of all 7000 records before filtering. I am filtering based on the deadhead miles.
Does anyone have any recomendation about how to speed this up a bit.
Also in order to get paging to work i had to rebind/filter the data again ... means looping through all 7000 records each time paging is called. This seems terribly ineffecient as i am already forced to use access instead of SQL.
Would i see a performance increase if i installed SQL or mySQL and create linked tables to the ones i use in access. or would access still be the bottleneck?
I don't know if the performance increase would be negligible as i still ultimately be getting the data from Access.
I have posted the entire code for the page below. When i originally started i didn't think there would be to much code so i left it all on one page instead of using code-behind. Would i gain anything by swapping to code-behind now?
i want to sort a gridview column which is a template field with a repeater control in it. this column has multiple links and i would like to sort using the first link. how can i achieve this.
I am using Datagrid to display Data from Access DB. Now i have a hypererlink in template field of Datagrid, when user click on it, Iframe should open and Detailed data should be display in it. I need to use fancy box Script to open an Iframe,
what I am trying to do;I want it so that when the user clicks on the datagrid column headers to sort the records, or when they go to page the datagrid, that a confirmation pop-up appears first, confirming that their changes are going to be lost (unless they click "Cancel").I have the confirmation pop-up scripted in Javascript and is added to the controls on the page using
[Code]....
How do I attach this to a datagrid header and to the pager?Do the columns need to be Template columns and the header text being hyperlink? If so, how do I set it up so it will, if the user clicks "OK" in the confirmation pop-up, still sort?
I have my data grid and sort on a column but the row formatting stops working. I simply selected a format using the autoformat option and picked classic. Am I meant to reapply the row formatting after the sort? And if so how?
I have a datagrid with two columns ( File Name, and Date Created ). I want them to be sorted when clicked (ASC or DESC). I went into the design view and added the allow sorting feature and added the column names, so they are clickable in the header of the data grid. I also already added the onsortcommand as well.
My datagrid is named dgFileList and the onsortcommand method is named dgFileList_SortCommand.
The procedure that is already loading on page load is a DataSet. (where I think my problem is)I dont have anything in the back end beside the dgFileList_Sortcommand method. From what I have read, it seems like I can't use a DataSet to be sorted...I'm using visual studios 2005, C#, not VB.
Moderators Note: THIS ISSUE IS BIG FOR ME AND EVEN IF POSSIBLE, GET THE REPLY FROM THE DESIGNER OF GRIDVIEW. I have been looking for him for long. I am really fed up with reviewing a good lot of web pages on how we can possibly customize the gridview to enable sorting and paging. So many sites have listed out a lot of information and so many guidances. But the problem is that one works out fine and the other is a burden. I really feel bad about being given the job of customizing this kind of a gridview which has no user friendly approach to it. Also, this control is rendered without the pager links inside the <tfoot> tag. I have tried the Pear Pager in php. It is that good and easy to use and compared to that, the gridview in asp.net is the worst ever control i have ever tried so far.
1. i can use the images to indicate the sorting direction 2. I can have the custom pager like
[code]
<<Previous 1 2 3 .. 7 Next >>.
[/code]
When i click the next when i am viewing the page at 3 , the pager links should change as
[code]
<<Previous 2 3 4 .. 7 Next >>
[/code]
Kindly look into this type of requirement and firstly tell me whether this is possible with the gridview control. I would like this request even to be escalated to the designers of the gridview control also, so that Microsoft comes out with a reply THAT WORKS and not the kind of stuff like surfing through a lot of links and pages and finally wasting a lot of days precious time and still breaking the head with this useless control. I have spent a lot of time in searching for a perfect way. Not writing a code that is non-standard. I am really serious b'cos I have spent weeks in customizing this control. If I dont get a solid reply atleast now, I am going to generate all the output by HTML content by custom coding.
I'm a college intern at a small software company. I'm a novice when it comes to ASP.net and Expression Web, so sorry if these are obvious questions.
1. After figuring out how to get fields calculated before they get displayed (did this with SQL), I need to find a way to put certain characters before the output in the fields. I'm fairly certain this is done with a template field, but I have no idea how to touch those without making them blow up.
2. I would also like to have color in the GridViews rows or cells depending on a value returned from the database. Again, I think this would be done with template fields.
3. Thirdly, I need to be able to limit the characters in a few cells. I've searched and found some answers with this, but still Template fields go right over my head.
I have 2 amount columns (Amount and TotAmount) in my gridview. In Amount column data comes from database. I want to display the total of amounts in Amount column in my TotAmount column (So there would be just one value in TotAmount column irrespective of the number of columns in Amount column). How can I do this.
My gridview displays fields from a table and allows for edit, delete and insert. I need to add a column with a derived field which will be calculated every time the user is either entering a new row or editing the value of the weight field which is one of the fields of the gridview. This calculation is done in the fly and won't be saved in the database.
Is there a way to Sort a Gridview by a Calculated Column? I have a gridview with template fields using lablels and a linq datasource. Those columns sort just fine. I can not get the Calculated column to sort, because there is no sort expression to use...
I have a GridView bound to an ObjectDataSource. Most of the columns are directly databound, however one column is not - it's value is determined in code. The value is being calculated correctly at the RowDataBound event, however when there is more than one data row in the GridView, the calculated fields for all of the rows is blank, but the top row displays the bottom row's calculated field
I need a form that displays three columns drawn directly from a database (no problems here) as well as two fields that require some complex calculations. Not only am I lost as to how to incorporate the calculations into the control, I don't know exactly how to write the calculations. I am working in Visual Web Developer 2008 with Vb.NET.
The first of the two fields should take the sum of all payments made by a given customer and divide it by a DailyMembershipRate, returning a DaysPaid variable. It should take this variable and a CustomerSince field for that particular customer and calculate a PaidThrough field.
The second of the two columns similarly requires the DaysPaid variable described above. It should subtract the CustomerSince field from the current date and return the value in days, giving a MembershipDays variable. Finally, it should subtract MembershipDays from the DaysPaid variable, again returning a value in days, and then multiply this by the DailyRate value for a Credit/Deficit field.
I realize this is a lot, but I haven't been able to find any documentation either online or in VWD or ASP.NET texts on this topic. I could really use some fellow user input.
I'm using a gridview to extract a set of records. I need to add another field to the gridview, which can calculate the difference between a date associated with each record and the current date.
I know how to handle the filtering of the grid (create a criteria and set to rowfilter of the dataview) But, I dont know how to get the value of the column of the selected row.
I have Datagrid , i want to clcik on row and get data in textbox , but my textbox is FreeTextBox control,i tried to use javascript but work for asp.net control not working for freetext box control, how i can capture this code is sample code but it work for asp.net control but not working for my freetextbox
Simply put... I want to duplicate the example found at this link, in VB.net rather than C#.

I would like the selectedvalue of the dropdown to display additional data base on its selection in multiple text boxes.
I have tried using the DropDownList OnSelectedIndexChanged property, within a DataGrid EditiItemTemplate, but I cannot retrieve data from the selection. (AutoPostBack is "True"). I can however use a button onclick event to fire a "prre-defined" selection value.
