Forms Data Controls :: Get FormView To Use InsertItemTemplate Instead Of EmptyDataTemplate?
Jul 30, 2010
The situation: a FormView with an EditItemTemplate and an Insert Item Template. When the page is entered and a record exists in the datasource, everything is fine with the Formview in Edit mode and the Edit ItemTemplate being used. But when no record is present, the FormView uses the EmptyDataTemplate even though it was switched it to Insert mode. Here is the code used to switch modes, fired in the OnDataBound event:
There is a page having formview with inserttemplate loading after user authentication. I have created user id = guest. If anyone login with guest i want to be load page FormView with EmptyDataTemplate.
I would like to hide several checkboxes if the FormView EmptyData Template is visible. How would I do that? My EmptyData Template has a message to the visitor that states "Sorry no records found", so when it is displayed I would like for my CheckBoxes to be hidden. Here is the code behind that I've started with and of course it doesn't work.
If FormView2.EmptyDataTemplate IsNot Nothing Then CheckBox1.Visible = False CheckBox2.Visible = False CheckBox3.Visible = False CheckBox4.Visible = False CheckBox5.Visible = False End If
The Insert row in the ListView has an empty DropDownList and GetCountries() is not called. However, if I click the Edit button on an existing row, GetCountries() is called twice (not sure why) and the DropDownList is properly populated. Why isn't the InsertItemTemplate DropDownList getting populated?
I have a dropdown list in ListView control in InsertItem Template. I want to bind the DropDownList when I Click on Link. I want to bind it in CodeBehind not to use Datasource. I tryed lot but not finding the DropDownList. See My Code....
<InsertItemTemplate> <tr> <td colspan="7"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="7"> <table border="0"> <tr> <td> </td> <td> Sector</td> <td>:</td> <td align="left"> <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDnSector" runat="server" ></asp:DropDownList> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator3" runat="server" Display="Dynamic" ControlToValidate="DropDnSector" SetFocusOnError="true" ValidationGroup="vgUpdate">* </asp:RequiredFieldValidator> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </InsertItemTemplate> lnkNew is my linkbutton outside the ListView Code Behind: Protected Sub lnkNew_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lnkNew.Click Try lvSubscription.InsertItemPosition = InsertItemPosition.LastItem lvSubscription.EditIndex = -1 BindDropDownList() fn_ShowSubscriptionLevel(fn_BindSubscriptionLevelEvents) Catch ex As Exception fn_ShowMessage(ex) End Try End Sub ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protected Sub BindDropDownList() Try Dim objSector As IEnumerable(Of SystemBuilder.SystemBuilder_Sector) Dim objSubscriptionLevel As SystemBuilder.SystemBuilder_SubscriptionLevel Dim DDLSectorctrl As DropDownList objSector = CSectorDB.CSectorInstance().GetAllSector() If (lvSubscription.InsertItemPosition = InsertItemPosition.FirstItem Or lvSubscription.InsertItemPosition = InsertItemPosition.LastItem) Then DDLSectorctrl = CType(lvSubscription.InsertItem.FindControl("DropDnSector"), DropDownList) If DDLSectorctrl IsNot Nothing Then DDLSectorctrl.Items.Add(New ListItem("--Select--", "0")) For Each ObjRec As SystemBuilder.SystemBuilder_Sector In objSector DDLSectorctrl.Items.Add(New ListItem(ObjRec.SectorText.ToString(), ObjRec.SectorID.ToString())) Next End If ElseIf (lvSubscription.EditIndex >= 0) Then Dim DDLSectorctrl1 As DropDownList DDLSectorctrl1 = DirectCast(lvSubscription.Items(lvSubscription.EditIndex).FindControl("DropDnSector"), DropDownList) If DDLSectorctrl1 IsNot Nothing Then DDLSectorctrl1.Items.Add(New ListItem("--Select--", "0")) For Each ObjRec As SystemBuilder.SystemBuilder_Sector In objSector DDLSectorctrl1.Items.Add(New ListItem(ObjRec.SectorText.ToString(), ObjRec.SectorID.ToString())) Next objSubscriptionLevel = CSubscriptionLevelsDB.CSubLvlInstance().GetSubscriptionLevelDetailsBySubscrptionID(ViewState("ID")) If objSubscriptionLevel IsNot Nothing Then DDLSectorctrl1.SelectedValue = objSubscriptionLevel.SubscriptionID.ToString() End If End If End If Catch ex As Exception End Try End Sub
I thought this one would be easy, but no go. What I am trying to do is the following: I have two DropDownLists in my InsertItemTemplate, each bound to its own datasource. After the fields in this form have been filled out and the ItemInserting event fires, I rebind the ListView to its datasource, but the DropDownLists turn out empty. I tried to bind them in the ItemInserting event and it seems they get filled, but nothing shows up in them when the page loads. I also tried to fill them in the ItemDataBound event, but the e.Item.ItemType == InsertItem doesn't do it.
I am using a Listview with InsertItemTemplate bound to a LinqDataSource with a child table in the ORM datacontext. This table has a relationship with a parent table in the OR/M datacontext. The record is to be inserted in the child Table. The parent table is bound to dropDownList in the InsertItemTemplate to provide a user friendly name. Using the ListView ItemInserted event in debug, I can follow the execution and no errors occur BUT no record is inserted. I confirm this by a showing all Table Data in the SQL Mgmnt Studio. The child to parent table seems to be causing the problem because when I delete the relationship in the OR/M .dbml , I am ABLE to insert records. I am using Scott Mitchells' Using ASP.net 3.5 ListView with Data Pager controls: Inserting Data as a model. I can provide code if required, but what is going on with the deleting of the relationship between child and Parent.
I am new to asp.net and am hoping this is an easy question. I have a gridview and then I have a couple of dataviews whose sqldatasources looks to the gridview' to be populated based on an ID number in the first column. If there are no rows returned to the dataviews, I generate an insertitemtemplate.
The problem is that I want to pass the value from the ID column in the Gridview over to the insertitemtemplate (because I don't trust the end user to get the ID right). The insertitemtemplate is now blank in all fields. ( I'm doing this in C#).
I've googled around for a couple of days now and tried different solutions posted here and there, but nothing has worked so far. Therefore I'm forced to write a new thread about this subject.
I'm working on a solution containing nested listviews. The top listview lists different projects, and in each project a nested listview lists images from that specific project using a nested sqldatasource. Inside the nested listview I want the user to be able to add new images, and i'm using the InsertItemTemplate of the nested listview. When inserting a new image, the project need to be specified, as the project is a foreign key in my image database. The problem is that in my InsertItemTemplate, "Bind" and "Eval" does not work (I believe this is by design). Therefore, when adding the new image I don't have access to the project. I'm using the ItemInserting event of the nested listview to upload the image, and the optimal solution would be to have access to the project in this event and just pass it on as a parameter.
want to find textbox inside InsertItemTemplate in listview there are two list view want to find textbox in the second listview that is inside listview i used that code but told me that there is error.
Dim lv As ListView = DirectCast(Me.FindControl("lv"), ListView)Dim lv2 As ListView = DirectCast(lv.Items(lv.SelectedIndex).FindControl("lv2"), ListView)Dim txt As TextBox = CType(lv2.Items(lv2.SelectedIndex).FindControl("txtCode"), TextBox)' If txt Is Nothing Then txt.Text = dr.AssetCode
i want to disable some buttons in my emptydata template. i tried using this code but it cant find the control. thus returning an error Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
There is user selected search criteria used to display both a FormView (Invoice header information such as ship_id, vendor, date, store, etc...) and cooresponding GridviewDetails (product details such as upc, description, unit cost, qty ordered, qty received, etc...) There is a one to many relationship between 1 invoice (formview) and many product details (gridview). I need to add the ability to insert product details to a particular invoice (ship_id is the link between the 2 tables) if an invoice currently doesn't have any. I have the emptydatatemplate programmed with dropdownlists and textboxes to capture the user entered information along with a submit button. However the insert doesn't occur.
I know the problem is how I am (incorrectly) using the findcontrol, but for the life of me I can't seem to find the correct syntax (been searching the forums for nearly a weeks implementing different syntax and testing to no avail!)
I have successfully implemented the ability to insert a new row using the footertemplate and was banking on some of that code to assist me with the insert of new details in the emptydatetemplate. Grrrrr....still not working. Below is the current version of the test page programming.
Code behind for the OnClick button in the emptydatatemplate "submit": (note: I know at least part of the problem is in how I am attempting to find the controls. Here is where I can not find a syntax that works and I have tried several dozen versions...)
[Code]....
GridviewDetails EmptyDataTemplate programming is below:
[Code]....
I've also included my entire GridViewDetails programming just in case it helps to read what it is that I am trying to do:
[Code]....
And here's the entire code behind that I have so far to make everything else function as desired:
All the writeups on ListView's EmptyDataTemplate say that it's for displaying the fact that no data records exist, which is logical; but the bad thing is that I've found nothing as a follow-up. In other words, I haven't been able to find any "now what?" once you (as the site user) find that there aren't any data records. I am led to then ask what the real purpose of the EmptyDataTemplate is if you can't do anything with it.
I added a button called "Add Your Photo" on the EmptyDataTemplate, which activates a ModalPopupExtender with an AsyncFileUpload. All this works fine in terms of uploading the file but nothing happens after that. I wonder if I should be starting instead in the InsertItemTemplate.
So, I need to know how to accomplish a couple of options: I need to start out in either the InsertItemTemplate or the EmptyDataTemplate. If I do the latter, I will need to know how to get from there to the ItemTemplate so the rendering can be displayed.
What code should I use to display the data--that is, how do I move from the EmptyDataTemplate to the ItemTemplate?
I can't seem to get either EmptyDataTemplate or EmptyDataText of a GridView to work. I'm fetching the GridView contents in de codebehind and attaching them with using DataBind(). I've tried having them as null and as an empty List, and in both cases the text I put intoEmptyDataTemplate or EmptyDataText is not displayed. What am I doing wrong?
I have a grid view (using sqldatasource & C#) which returns no rows. By design asp.net does not show header/footer. I looked at couple of sites and suggestions and found it to be too complex. Nothing was simple. The one I found was to create a empty datatable, insert rows and bind it to the gridview. But that code does notwork for me because I am using sqldatasource and using datatable gives error.I decided to just add the following to empty item template.
THe link shows up in the bottom but the event gridview_RowCommand is not fired as the grid view is not created or it does not have rows
How do I call a function on click the add new link and put all my code in there to insert possibly using a modal popup. I cannot use onclientclick because it is javascript.
I have the following setup, but i would like to make the empty text more specific, so just looking to have it display the same message but with the selected value text from the drop down as part of the messages.
so if you select say the 2nd item from the drop down, then i would like to have the empty label(if empty of course) display "There are No Records for Last 24 hrs"
There have been a few datapaging questions tonight, but mine is a bit different..
I have a regular datapager, in a seperate project it seemed to work fine with the same query and templates, but when I use it in my page, whenever the I try to page I get the emptydatatemplate when there should be data..
Here is my current ListView
[Code]....
I have tried binding data OnPreRender and setting the page properties under the OnPagePropertyChanging events.. still only getting my empty template whenever i navigate through the pages when there should be plenty of data..
I have a DropDownList in the InsertItemTemplate of the DetailsView in EmptyDataTemplate. I want to acces the value of the DropDownList control and insert its value in the empty DataBase.
I have a Detailsview grid with an SqlDatasource, this DVG is only going to be used to insert records. The primary purpose of the DS is to populate a DDL control in the insertItem Template that I created my code is this:
[Code]....
The DDL control populates correctly, but when I try to modify the INSERTCommand property in my DS, I try to assign the value to my parameters "TesterID" and "TesterDate" but the only options for controls to pick from, is the DGV but not the DDL in it. I assume it has to do with the InsertItem template but even if I reset it I still cannot pick the textbox as a control that would give the value to my parameters.
I did find a workaroun by build a public method and calling it in the onclick event of the insert button but looks like I have to create another connection to the database which to me seems unnecessary since I already have a DS and everything. how can I do this without having to use my method. here is my method just in case.
