Forms Data Controls :: String.Format Not Working In ListView Control?
Aug 5, 2010
I have a ListView control that pulls a phone number from a db table. I'd like to format the phone number in the presentation layer to look like (###) ###-####.
The code line currently looks like this. The page displays the phone# but unformatted, i.e. 9999999999.
[Code]....
Based on other posts I've looked at in this forum, I've also tried:
<li>Phone: <%# String.Format("{0:(###) ###-####}", Databinder.Eval (Container.DataItem("Phone"))) %> with no success. In fact, this particular line throws an exception in my application (Input string not in the correct format).
The datatype I'm using in SQL is varchar(15)
The MSDN documentation for the String.Format method hasn't been very helpful thus far.
I have anested ListView control. I also implemented a jQuery to automatically expand the TextBox control inside of the nested ListView Insert Template. The problem is, when the Textbox expand, the outer ListView control is not; therefore, the Textbox control expands underneath the buttons of the outer listView control. How do I expand the outer ListView control as the nested ListView textbox is automatically expand? One great example is in Facebook where if I add a response comment, it'll automatically push any comments below mine down. If nested Listview control is not the best way to do this, what are my options?
I'm getting "the input string was not in the specified format" on the last line of code below. The grid is based on a SqlDataSource that has a stored procedure pulling an integer for column 0.
if my data base field has any value then it shows no error. but if this fiels is null then it shows error input string was not in correct format while binding the gridview.
so can you please tell me the method that if this field has null value then what should I do so that i dont get this error. this fields might be null.
I have a gridview that is built using a objectdatasource and set to autogenerate the columns based on that source, on some other pages i have a gridview that is built within the page with template fields and so on..
in that gridview i have a field that displays the time value like so
I'm stumped on this one... it seems really simple, but I can't get around it. I am pulling 2 values (discount percent, discount amount) from a formview label control. I want to use these numbers in a calculation, but I can't seem to get the format correct.
I am trying to format the cost as 10.00 but does not seem to have any effect at all. I get the values OK, but if the value of the string is 10.90, the output I get is 10.9
i have problem with manging format of string at run time
actually i have infomation in tabular form , a i am accessing that in coding in string fromat and send it by mail but when i send it shows html coding and not view in tabular .
I am getting "input string not in correct format" error and I have tried a few variations and still no dice. zSessvar1 is equal to 159 and when I substitute the actual nbr, it will work.
Dim cmd1 As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("Select nbrofcomments from table1 where PID = " + zsessvar1, myConn)
I have a listview that I'm binding programmatically. I am trying to add a simple datapager but the paging is not working. it is because I am binding programmatically.
I have a listview where it's content is from a datatable. Programmatically, when the user goes to the webpage, the listview is binded to a datatable like so:
[Code]....
I want to now add a DataPager but this code isn't working:
[Code]....
Clicking on the page numbers either has no response or clears out the listview or distorts the data.
I have a gridview set up with a button that when clicked I want it to send a unique value to a listview which is set to receive the value in a parameterized SQL query. I forgot how to set the button up in the GUI to take the unique value and put it in a query string and send it to url. I would like to use the GUI just to get more familiar with it. I know this is easy but I gortgot how.
I have been attempting to find a solution for my phone number formatting problem for 2 hours now and I am not getting any closer. My 10 digit phone number is stored as a varchar(14) without any formatting (just 10 digits).
Here is the code to format the phone number in a gridview:
[Code]....
why the formatting won't work? It just displays the 10 numbers with no formatting.
