Forms Data Controls :: Using Gridview To Extract Data From Linked Tables
Jun 8, 2010
How do I display table database information from two or multiple databases tables where they are linked by one field? For instance, I have an Orders Table and Customer Table, and both are linked by OrderID, and I'd like to display all Orders and the corresponding Customer information.
My grid doesn't show on the web form when I configure its datasource to access the link table and display data from the receiver table. Both link and receiver tables are associated/linked in the .dml file. Any ideas why the grid doesn't show on the form?
I have built a set of custom business objects that I have successfully bound to the GridView and DetailsView controls using the ObjectDataSource. I have been able to provide insert/update/delete functionality and all is working as expected. However, I am trying to wrap this functionality into a custom user control that allows the consumer to specify a table name and a list of column names and have it build this functionality on the fly without regard to the table structure (ie...available columns). I have been able to successfully get the GridView and DetailView to build the columns from code behind and I had all the CRUD working while using 2 panels to show/hide the GridView and DetailsView controls, but I wanted to add some AJAX ability to the control using Matt Berseth's modal popup example to make the interface slicker. The problem I am having is that the EditItemTemplate for the DetailsView control has to be specified in the code behind (because of the flexibile nature of the columns) and I can't figure out how to bind the data from code (rather than having the columns defined and bound in the markup). For all intensive purposes, I am trying to find the code behind counterpart to the following code snippet that binds the data to the textbox:
I have come from MS Access and am working through a couple of textbooks on ASP.NET 4. I am using the Gridview control connected to an SQL data source control.
As an exercise I am converting my simpliest MS Access page which is simple a form to request a new stock item in our engineering stores. I have a normalised table called [stock_requests] and part of this is a field calle [failure_mode]. This field is an integer and there is another table listing the possible values for this field.
This other table is called [failure_modes] and has two field:
[id] < the primary key
[mode] < the text to be displayed
In my main table [stock_requests] in the field [failure_mode] I store the [id] from the [failure_modes] table for the applicable record in the [failure_modes] table. So for example if someone wanted to select "Catastrophic" as the failure mode the [stock_requests].[failure_mode] field would be 1; if the user selected "Gradual" as the failure mode the [stock_requests].[failure_mode] field would be 2 etc.
Now, the gridview wants to display "1" or "2" but I want to display "gradual" or "catastrophic" without using views and all the headaches that brings. I have managed to sort out editting by using a templated field where I have a drop down list in this cell and I databind to a second SQL data source (imaginatively called SqlDataSource2).
what is the best method for displaying the text 'Catastophic' or 'Gradual' etc. when in normal mode (view mode)? Is it another templated field and what is the basic approach I should use? I reckon I should be able to work it out once someone points me in the right direction.
I have a task to create grid view for 8 different tables. I am wondering if there is a better way to create those gridviews. The following features has to be in almost all 8 gridviews
1. Add / Edit / Delete / Sort 2. Some of the grid view has to contain a combo box when editing the row 3. A check box has to be in first column of the gridview 4. When editing the grid view, I need to have an edit form pop up 5. Confirm delete dialog box has to show before delete.It is not smart to create 8 grid views ( I am trying to avoid creating the grid manytimes)
I have one gridview, a dropdown list where I can search the users table or a group name table, a textbox for inputting the search and a button to search.How could I overwrite the users table that is binded in the gridview when I search through the groupname table? Using C#.
I am looking for a fast way (either by script or Query statements) that would enable me uniquely extract some tables from my database schema.
The tables I wish to extract have some unique columns like x and y coordinate columns and i want to extract only the tables that have these coulmns in them.
My database schema is very large with 100s of tables that i cant just go through the tables one by one.
i take data from Sqlserver database , and my prblem is that i want to get old and new values from gridview and base on that i want to change there background colors .. i try gridview rowupdating , editing ,updated Events but when i debug no break point hit and there was no value in ViewSate that i declare ,
I want to know the procedure of binding a gridview. but the condition is that thefre are three columns in this gridview. if I wud bind it from one table then it wud ok for me. but now I need to bind it from three different tables. onw column from one table, another from 2nd.. and so on.
I have parentGridView and childGridView. ChildGridView opens in ParentGridView cell. But it expands the cell and makes all the parents cells out of formatting look and feel.1 ) How can i use colspan property to expand the childGirdView? 2) i am using find control in codebehind, i dont want to disturb that hierarchy as well
i have a problem in joining two tables the reason ismy first table persdata is having common field as pno (a single row in a particular person) and the second tables is also having pno(having muti entry for a person as this table is of qualification and a person may have more than 3 qualifications and their grading)sample persdata(table)pno name coy appt sample qual(table)pno qual grading recommendationi tried my best to do it and not able to proceedi want the output in a single row as in persdata to a gridview with all the qual combined in one coloumn and all the recommendations combined in one coloumn for a person.
i have this xml file which i read using the DataSet.ReadXml( path ) method . The tables created from the Xml file is Related in such a maner that each product has many options. Product is in one table and Options are in another.Now all i want to do is display the related tables in One Gridview. For your reference below is the products Xml file,
[Code]....
Now this is what i have done in the Code behind , have a look below
[Code]....
Now the Grid works Great if i want to Display Individual tables out from Dataset but not when they are related . Please do shine your Knowledge on what should be done to display Child ~ Master relationship. By the way , its a definite NO for someone who would show me that link from msdn about displaying XML data using Xmldatasource and gridview [That's a lousy way to display data]
I am new to Entity Framework and working my way through it little by little. I think I have it figured out on how to get data into and out of 1 table at a time now the challenge is 2 tables into a gridview. I have a user table that has a list of threads that a user can mark to track. Easy enough. Assign the userid number & threadid to a table with a push button while the user is logged in and viewing any of the posts that are on that thread. The new challange is to get only the posts that the user has marked to track. SQL easy. Entity not sure what to do.
If I make a view or stored procedure and add it to the database that would be an extra step. To join the 2 tables as in sql Select posts from posts where track.userid = @userid join track on post.userid=track.userid Seems Entity was made to avoid this type of thing. Than once the data is gathered I need to bind it to a gridview()
I have a .NET 1 web app that is using a Oracle database, the web app has a page of table names that allows the users to select, there are 101 tables listed on the page. When the user clicks on a table name, it takes them to a page that shows user friendly column headers, the table data, etc. Is there a way to use one GridView to do this and show the user friendly column headers instead of creating 101 pages or 101 user controls and show that control based on the table passed into the page?
for example: the user clicks table 22, I want my gridview to look like this
Buyer's Name State City Zip Code Phone Number
if they click table 55 I want them to see this
Product Wholesale Price MSRP Sale Price On Sale (check box)
and so I, I would like to use 1 gridview on one page if possible and build the grid on the "fly", We have the user friendly column headers in a table.
So my questions are:
is this possible, if so, what is the best approach in doing this
from a scalabilty level and maintenance level, would the 1 gridview be worth for all 101 (and growing tables), or would building a seperate user control for each table be better?
I am insert and update the data in Excel sheet.while iam deleting the data it gives the Error like Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM.
