Forms Data Controls :: Create A Lookup Data Source Based On A Union Query With The Actual Data And A Blank Record?
Jun 1, 2010
I'm new to ASP.net 3.5 and trying to create a test site so I can figure out how to use it in the real world. I have created a FormView (Formview1) based on a Client table using Linq Data Sources. The page includes a DropDownList to lookup Clients. I have added a list option (<asp:ListOption value="" Text="(Select Client)" and set AppendDataBoundItems=true so my added option is displayed. I decided to try to use Formview with only the Edit and Insert Modes, and I have set the Default Mode = Insert. When you open the page, a blank Client record is displayed.
The Client record contains serveral lookup fields and they have drop down lists for each. When I select a client from the Client DropDownList, is get the following message 'ddlClientType' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items I had this problem before and decided the best way to handle this (in the interim) was to turn off foreign key constraints for each of the lookup fields (e.g. ClientType) in SQL Server. That worked for 2-3 days. Now the problem has started again.
When I develop in other applications, I would simply create a lookup data source based on a Union Query with the actual data and a blank record. How can you do this using Linq DataSources. Can you get access and modify the queries?
I'm using the DetailView control to display employee details from a specfic company, but it seems when I try to create the query in the data source wizard I'm unable to select the variable for the WHERE clause, only the web pages control components.
The employees are selected through the company name which is entered at the beginning of the page and in turn is used to select the company id.
Is it possible to use dynamic query filters with a gridview using a stored procedure as a data source? What I'm thinking of is a search page where there are multiple controls to enter in a search string and a radio button for the AND/OR query filters between the various controls. If not, what would be the best way to allow a user to select an AND / OR with a group of different query controls?
Here is the page I have created thus far using a view and no AND/OR option. I but I can't get it to work with my SP, also listed below:
I have a dropdown box control, populated by an Access data source, and linked to a form control which renders an appropriate record detail when a selection is made. All works as intended. My issue is that each rendering of the page shows the dropdown box carrying the link to the first record, with the detail portion of the page already complete with the information for that record.
I'd much prefer that the dropdown box would carry some text, like "Click to select..." leaving the detail part of the page empty at the first iteration of the page, allowing the user to pick the first record. I can't seem to find any way around this problem with the control or the data, unless I add a record at the top of the file that carries the text.
I have a drop down which gets data from database.I want to show not all entries but the very last one entered by employee. What do I have to add to the sql script to get me very last entry and hide the rest.this is my Sql data source:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CompanyInfoEventsConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [ID], [NameOne] FROM [Gpi_DayOff] ORDER BY [ID] DESC"> </asp:SqlDataSource>
I need to know how can I select a gridview row based on a query string data. In my case, the query string will contain the id that exist in the Table related to that grid. Is there a way to do this from the code behind? In other words, if I click a link with that specific query string, can I open the page and tell my grid to select a specific row based on the table row id?
On my DetailsView for inserting, I have a field "manager code". When the user types in the code, I want another field "manager name" to be populated based on a lookup table in the database. I have done this on a FormView using code behind and "ontextchanged". How can I do this in DetailsView?
I have two tables. One table containing 1 master record and the other table containing multiple records per 1 master record. I want to only display in a gridview (or whatever is best) the master record AND its assocated detail records IF certain fields in the detail records are there. I have been trying to figure out how to do this but I am still a bit of a newbie and I don't how I can do this.
i wants to display the related informations of each record of dataset. That mean, dataset having rows for A,B,C and etc..
Then i wants to display the information in same Gridview of each record(A,B,C). i wrote the below my coding, it dispaly info of the last row of dataset only. pls correct the coding.
There was an error executing the query. Please check the syntax of hte the command and if present, the types and values of the parameters and ensure they are correct. Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
But when I run the query through Management Studio, I can get the result.
The following code works well as long as I pass a querystring value to the datalist.
Private Sub BindGrid() Dim id As Integer = Integer.Parse(Context.Request.QueryString("id")) Dim strConnString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("Conn").ConnectionString Using con As New SqlConnection(strConnString) Using cmd As New SqlCommand() cmd.CommandText = "select Id, Name from tblFiles where Id=@Id"
[Code] ......
However, the page errors with the message "Value cannot be null." if I don't pass a value. I know that DataList does not have an EmptyItem Property like a Gridview control. I do not want the page to error if I don't pass a value. Need info to deal with empty values in a datalist.
Most websites have pointed me to this code to use:
The 'list' throws an error. The error is "Too few type arguments to 'System.COllections.Generic.List". I am not sure if the code is written in C# and that is what is causing the error. It seems that it should work but I can not figure out the 'list' error.
I want to add a class to a div inside my repeater control based on whether the query string value is true or false, so that I can style it differently.
This is my code and i am only able to edit the one data under the category school.But what i nd is to edit the other categories like the name,email...etc..how do i modify my code in the update command.Another thing is to delete the data how do i do that?
I've been using the Item Inserted event for my data controls, such as details view. I'm wondering if there are advantages to doing this with the data sources instead of the data control. There is a lot of overlap in the events provided by these two types of controls. Are there advantages to using the events raised by the data source instead of the ones raised by the data control itself. Should I be using the events raised by the data source instead of the control used to enter the data?
I have a Dataset defined called Content. There is an adapter / table definition in it called Users tied to a table called Users. This table consists of:
I have a requirement that i need to remove the columns from gridview which are blank but at remove funtion it gives me error so i make that columns visible false now its working fine but at the time of exporting data from gridview to excel it also export that visible= false columns in spredsheet and i don't want that blank or hidden column in my excel sheet
How to display empty GridView to insert new record if no data retreived for some record on the result from data table?Actually i am trying to give a user an option to add recrod from Gridview. On result of some query it is perfectly displaying data and a footer row with the insertion textbox but when there is no data in the gridview it is not displaying. It should display with footer having insert textbox.
I want to know how to display a blank value when the data value is '01/01/1900 12:00:00 AM' on a gridview. I went through the details of '01/01/1900' in sql and the gridview display But couldn't find any combination of this type.
