Forms Data Controls :: Viewstate On Postback With Gridview?
Apr 8, 2010
I've got a GridView on my page which has some bound controls, one of which is a label (to display total price):
[Code]....
However this value is not being passed to my page. All I see is '£' symbol, no price which makes me think Viewstate["youpay"] is empty? I have enabled viewstate on the Page and Control tags.
My datasource is an ado data table that I have convert to a new data table so that each row in the original table is now a column with 1 row in my new table. I then bind the new datatable and create dynamic template fields with a text box where I bind the values. My problem is, when I try and retrieve the values changed by the user in the rowcommand event, the template columns no longer exists.
Does anyone know how i can retrieve these values? I've read over and over that you have to rebind the grid on each postback when you use dynamic templates, but I'm not sure how to do that and retrieve the values entered in the text boxes on the client side.
Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request.
The above error occurs with gridview control , when used with template field columns with item template / and edit templates etc. updating a row within gridview, at the time of loadiong it loads perfectly fined, but when tried to modify an existing row within gridview control, then it produces the error. Make sure the grid view control has to be a child control which manages the child table info with in a master form. to reproduce the above problem the grid view must be loading the child records info of a master within the masterform, meaning both master data and gridview data all to be managed in one single form.
I had to replace gridview control with datagrid and then it worked perfectly fine. I wasted almost 4 days of my time., there is no way we could figure out the problem. here is the full info of the problem.

I am creating a gridview dynamically in a custom control and adding it to a Panel. I set the EnableViewState = true. The problem is that on a page postback the GridView does not seem to retain its values. If I add a GridView through the UI then the viewstate is preserved. The problem seems to occur when it is put dynamically only.
I have a checkbox column in a Gridview that is added in the aspx and the other columns are added in the code behind. The checkbox is a choice to print the record or not. When the print button is pushed the page posts back and the checkboxes are gone.
I have read that you have to re-add the checkboxes on postback, but where do you do that and how do you retain the viewstate values - checked/not checked? I have tried everywhere - PreInit, PreLoad, PreRender... I can't get the viewstate values to appear anywhere. The checkboxes can be added just about anywhere but the vaules are set to "unchecked" by default... no values ever come back no matter where I re-add them.
I am using a GridView with an ObjectDataSource bound to a DataTable. I am using the GridView for displaying a report, NO editing is being done, just read only, however, I am sorting and paging. I need to turn off ViewState for the GridView to improve performance. After turning off the ViewState I start getting the error messages for both paging and sorting:The GridView 'gridView' fired event Sorting which wasn't handled.This is fine I just need to know how to implement the Sorting and Paging events correctly to leveage the ObjectDataSource. I would preffer not to remove the ObjectDataSource from use, especially if there is a way I can manually wire up the datasource correctly to continue to use the GridView as I had been when ViewState was on.Any help on getting the datasource wired up or a solution for handling the events in the context of the datasource would be great.
I am looking for an event firing before a DropdownList auto-postback to save Listbox items (populated with JS) in the ViewState.I tried the OnSelectedIndexChanged event but it's fired too late.
I have changed the look and feel of the grid by modifying the cols, rows in the gridview. I need to save this in the gridview viewsate, so that it load the modified look and feel next time it loads from the viewsate.
I've run into this bizarre situation wherein I get the below error if I set page size other than 5 in the page using this control.
"Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request."
This GridView is a hierarchial type. I add a new GridView below each row in the webcontrol overriding OnRowDataBound.
I need a bit of help with a scenario. I am working on a web application that requires huge amounts of data to be Added, Deleted, and Updated. The data entry forms are divided into logical groups through Multiviews. All the information is saved when the mighty Finish button is pressed. The current setup (previous developer) does not allow me to use transactions. Therefore, if I am to save a new Courier to the database, I need to add his/her Distance and Rate info. In addition, I need to add his/her Banned Areas info (Area Name, Post Code).This is where it gets interesting. Obviously, the DistamceAndRate table and the BannedArea table in my SQL Server will have the CourierID as a foreign key. Since I'm going to save the Courier as well as the Rates and Areas info in one go, I cannot have the newly created CourierID before. Therefore, I cannot bind my Grids for Distance + Rates and Banned Areas directly to database.What I am doing is creating two DataTables and managing them in Viewstate through properties as follow:
[Code]....
So, on page load, the DataTables are initialized with a blank schema. Here are the attempted CRUD implementations (Distance and Rate only):
[Code]....
I am having issues when I am canceling a new entry and when I am editing a new entry. In addition, for Distance and Rates, Rate is acting as unique (cannot be repeated) and attempting to control that is also giving me a headache. I end up creating blank rows.And here's the ASPX cut-out:
[Code]....
Hope to get an answer soon.Also, off-topic, I'm using LINQ here. In order to save a Courier and his/her extra details, I first save his/her address to DB. Then I take the ID of the address and save the courier. now the courier ID is avaliable and i start filling extra tables related with the courier table. If something goes wrong, I have to manually delete created rows. LINQ uses transaction internally but only until a SubmitChanges() call. I'm forced to save each entity so I keep calling SubmitChanges().I tried manual transaction but after saving the address inside a transaction, the Address.OID (Address table's mapped prime-key) had a 0. attempting to use this newly added address while saving Courier in the same transaction threw an exception. If there is a way to get the primary key for entities created in a transaction that is yet to be commited, please mention that'll as well.
I have gridview control. visit [URL] but when i change page index of this i get error the following error
Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request.
I'm trying to extend the GridView control to enable sorting and paging for any situation.
When using my control I am fetching data from a database and filling a DataSet with it, then binding the GridView upon every page load. My first question would be, is this the correct approach?
To sort the GridView I am overriding the OnSorting method which stores the sort expression and direction in the ViewState, then creates a DataView and utalises the Sort method to sort the underlying data. It then sets the Data Source to this DataView and rebinds the GridView.
Paging is handled by OnPageIndexChanging which simply sets the PageIndex property and again rebinds the GridView.
My problem is; when any control causes a postback my GridView is no longer sorted, presumably because it is persistently rebound. If I don't rebind it then the GridView is empty on postback since the data isn't automatically stored in the ViewState. I have considered saving the data source in the ViewState but I would assume that this is bad practice for large amounts of data? - also DataViews are not seralisable.
The only solution I can think of currently is to override OnDataBound and sort the data every time. This results in a double sort when paging triggers a postback which seems inefficient. Code illustration of this below,
[Code]....
I'm looking for the cleanest 'best practice' solution as this is a learning exercise more than anything else.

I have a FormView and a GridView connected to the same datasource inside of a MultiView where one view is for the grid and the other for the form. The GridView has selection enabled and when the user selects a record in the GridView I make sure that the same record is selected in the FormView.mv.ActiveViewIndex = vIndexForm; // causes the MultiView to change views from the grid to the form fv.PageIndex = gv.SelectedIndex + (gv.PageIndex * gv.PageSize); // causes the FormView to use the same selected record as the GridView
This should cause a PageIndexChanged event (it doesn't), so I called by event handler explicitly. In the event handler I change the mode to FormViewMode.Edit. This should cause a ModeChanged event (again it doesn't), so again I called it explicitly.Finally in the ModeChanged event I get the DataItem for the FormView so that I can update some special fields that require some special formatting, however fv.DataItem is null which means I can't do any special formatting. At this point the FormView shows and the regular fields are fine. If I now hit the Cancel button the FormView fires the ChangedMode event at which point I changed the MultiView's ActiveViewIndex back to the view with the grid. The grid displayes just fine, but if I do a select of a row within the GridView again I get the "Failed to load viewstate" error.I can only assume that I'm either doing something in the wrong order or at the wrong time and it's tripping me up.
I have a gridview that I only want to show if the page is a postback. I'm not a very good programmer. show me some VB code that will assist this. I think I want to use a page load event and IF NOT Postback then visible = false for my gridview but I don't know how to write it out...
i have a global field called hotelId. i then have this piece of code that gets a value from gridview row:
[Code]....
the local variable is assigned to my global one, which gets passed to my method along with other variables. while stepping through i can see the value is set, but when i hit the submit button variabl is passed to another method except my hoteId. it gets lost...
I design a page which contains one dropdownlist, gridview1 and gridview2. All of them extract data from the same table (a SqlDataSource). The Gridview1 is used to edit, update data with edit, update and cancel button. My problems are:
1. After update gridview1, the dropdownlist and gridview2 don't update data.
2.After updata gridview1, the gridview1 resets to its original state if refresh page.
to select a gridviewrow but it causes a postback whenever I select a row. Is there a way to allow selecting a gridview row which will not cause a postback??
I am trying to create a form that displays a dropdown and a password. The dropdown will act as the login for the password. If the password is correct the dropdown should be the variable for a gridview that should be visible? Can someone look at my code and see where I may be going wrong or any hints?
I have a gridview where in the users are allowed to edit certain data and there is an update on top of the page which will send out all the changes made inside the GridView. But, the problem is , as soon as the update button is clicked, the grid disappearsand no update is made. This problem occurs when the size of the data on the page is huge. When we have less amount of data on the gridview, It does update. But, when there is a huge amount of data on the gridview, it does not. We have tried to increase the page size on the server, but to no use.
I am have a page with a couple of dropdowns which serve as criteria for a select SPROC. Once a selection is made in a drop down a panel is shown which contains gridview whose rows have been returned by the select SPROC.If you close the panel and change the drop down selection and then redsplay your panel the data from your prior selection is still displayed in the gridview, unless you page to the next group of records.
I have a c# code that put some background color in cells according with some values, the problem is that each time I add a button or a postback occurs I lost all colors (and other attribs).So my workaround in call the function that fills the gridview each time... but this produce a slow performance.
