Forms Data Controls :: Bind Each Item Of Datalist Separately?
May 4, 2010
i am making a site like linkedini have a datalist which show the search of peoples from database. my problem is that, i have mixed data to show in datalist.suppose datalist going to show only 2 label values, first is "who" second is "type". who can be of 4 types just like linkedin search, "A student","employ",Bussiness owner", "working independent"when student is pick in one label from database then college will be display in second labelwhen employ is pick in one label then company will be display in second column.It means i cannot bind the second label at designtime. and even at run time i have to bind each item of second label with approprite to first label. bec search can be mixed, means if 10 peoples are searched, then may be someone is employ, someone is student, and second label should show value appropriate their first label.
I'm going to try to explain this the best I can. I have a datalist that is displaying a large amount of data based off a CollectionID number. Within each set of data are CollectorID numbers. Now there can be several different CollectorID numbers tied to each CollectionID number. So therefore, the same data is being duplicated several times with the different CollectorID number. What I would like to do is concatenate all the CollectionID numbers into a string that are related to the CollectionID number and populate that into the corresponding label.
I've tried modifying the stored procedure to concatenate the CollectorID rows from the table they are located in but that seemed like a very large challenge.
My latest attempt involved removing the CollectorID from the original query. Then I wrote a datareader on the ItemDataBound event grabbing the CollectorIDs but it is missing the first CollectorID in each set.
When I click on the LinkButton, I want to insert the current item in the DataList into the database via LINQ to SQL in C# code behind. In the codeb behind, how do I retrieve that particular item so I can insert it into the database?
I'm trying to figure out how can I control my linkbutton which nests inside my DataItem in the ItemTemplate.What I wish to do is to check something in the server side and according to that, decide whether I wish to alter its visibility to "true" or to keep it hidden. I think that the method which is going to solve it is the ItemCreated, although, I don't happen to know how to control that specific item of mine.
here's my issue:I want to delete an item from a datalist and i cant seem to get it working. I am using the delete code from a sqldatasource which is..
[Code]....
I have searched on the web for code for this, but all i can find is code to delete the primary key from from a table. My issues is that i have a double primary key.The way that it works is, i insert a load of data, but which uses number1 as the first primary key, and number 2 is like an item of number1 as such.Sorry about the explanation, if you dont understand i'd happily try and explain it better.
I have a data list , each row consist only from button , i want to retrive data from data base depending on the item, I mean each button or row have different tooltip , it is possible to do this ?
if the button is enable=false also it is possible ?
I have this list of names where I want the location underneath each name but nothing is showing up. Is it not actually possible to bind the repeater's datasource to the items in the datalist because nothing is really selected in the datalist - it's just all there?
i have datalist.i can bind datalist but problem is that null value does not bind.but all values are not null.
my scenerio is asign click btn click then view open then insertion and save.if free class btn click then another view open and then insertion...in asign class it can bind but free class not bind.while i m providing day and period also.so why they canot bind?
I have the following line to display a piece of data and I want to know how I can format the output.
Text='<%# Eval("DOH") %>'
The data list displays the correct data, but I want to format it. The output I want is just a small date format instead of date and time. I have tried every combination of a format function I can think of, but can't seem to make it work. Am I stuck with the raw format provided by the database? I wouldn't think so, but maybe that is the case.
expected output should be 02/15/2011 instead of 02/15/2011 09:45:
I am using the following code with a datalist, but how can I change the date format of the PublicationAddDate Field, it is not displaying as expected, even though it is in the correct format in my DB.
I have a datalist which is filled by a LinqToSQL query.
I have put a edititemtemplate in it, whith a update button,
Everything works fine, but when i ask the value of the textbox in update mode it still has the old value and not the new value typed from the textbox, anyone got a clue?
<p>i m aslo facing one problem which in gridview in edittemplete mode I have put dropdownlist. in itemtemplate there is one label in. i have to bind same value to dropdownlist which is in label at itemtemplate/. for this i have write below code. but it shows me error which is object refrence not to set an instance of object.
I want to show a message when there's no data in my datalist. I found the following, but, I get an error on the bool. If you have another way to do this, great, but, I'd also like to try to do it this way as a learning experience.
I have a DataList control setup with a Repeater inside it. It's displaying Ranks just fine, but the problem is I don't know how to make it start over with each DataList.
Right now, if there are two rows in the PointsCat table, it creates two DataLists (new DataList for each ID) and populates the Repeater with the person's rank, name and points from the Points table. The CatID in the Points table is a number equal to an ID in the PointsCat table (to tell which DataList's Repeater to display the data in). This code currently just orders ALL the entries from my database table, so the first Repeater in the first DataList may end with a ranking of 4 (4th), the first item in the next DataList's Repeater starts with a rank of 5...instead of starting over with 1.
So my current page may show something like this (notice the rank didn't start over in the second category):
Points Category 1 Points Category 2 1 John Doe 400 4 Janet Doe 275 2 John Smith 390 5 Johnny Smith 270 3 Jane Smith 380
My SqlDataAdapter line is below. I need it to start over the ranking for each CatID. Is it possible to do that within this line?
i need to group the datalist by Country name. In my database i have Shope details . now i need to display the Shop address by Grouping Country wise.For Country India i have 10 stores,for Canada i have 5 stores. so first i need to show all canada stores and then i need to show India stores. only two countrys i have.
