Forms Data Controls :: Store Format Or Format Output Of Text Field Into Datalist
Mar 29, 2011
I have a text field that users enter information into a database (SQL Server). They are entering as little as a few sentances to multiple paragraphs. I can successfully display the data on my webpage, but the text field is not formatted very nicely. The output is all smashed together like one big paragraph. Ironically, when I also display the text as a tool tip it outputs as multiple paragraphs like it was entered. How can I format the output in the datalist to create a more readable text field? My datalist field is as follows:
I need to enter text in sql in nvarchar(max) .. the text contains titles and paragraphs.
I was using a separate table called paragraphs to enter paragraph title and paragraph content. These get a 'article ID' so I can read them out of SQL. On my page I format title and content differently.
Now I was wondering if I can enter Title format information into sql (as the <br/>) tags, so that i can enter all article information into 1 table column.
The data that shows up in my DataList does not align to the top. How do I align my data to the top? It looks to me that the data is center in the middle vertically.
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 found a few examples online and followed them, but wasnt getting any results, just errors..Here is what i have in my button event that i want to use to create the files..
I have a GridView that records can be added to.There are only 2 fields in the table that the records come from which are date field and an integer field.The date field is fine "as is".The problem is that you can't format the integer field.I have tried every way that I can think off.The last 2 ways that I have tried have used String.Format because I am using EVal and with Eval you can supply anoptional second parameter to specify a format for the returned string.I have tried in both html and code behind , html gives an error message but the code behind (code behindthe RowDataBound method) doesn't give an error message:In the html looks like:
I'm hitting a wall trying to format a boundfield of a gridview. I've tried suggestion about setting the htmlencode to false, but that didn't make a difference.The column I am trying to format is:<asp:BoundField DataField="FromDate" HeaderText="Start Date" DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" HtmlEncode="False" />
this is my jquery code...am gtting the data but in a single column...but i specified in th data list that repeatcolumns="3"
function OnSuccess(response) { var xmlDoc = $.parseXML(response.d); var xml = $(xmlDoc); pageCount = parseInt(xml.find("PageCount").eq(0).find("PageCount").text());
I want read the data from Excel file and bind it to gridview.but before that i want to set "Column data format as text" for few columns or whole worksheet in programatically.In excel sheet we can set the column data format as text.but i want to do that in programatically(codebehind).
I am developin application using WPF. I am using Backend XML File. I have a class StockQuoteSoapClient.
StockQuoteSoapClient obj = new StockQuoteSoapClient(); string s = "IBM"; Gridview1.DataContext=obj.GetQuote(s); obj.GetQuote(s) returns xml format data
I have a objectdatasource control with a field of date and time and I was wanting to know how you format the date to uk format with the select statement through my objectdatasource. And what type of integer is bigint in SQL?
In my Webapplication i am trying to export GridView data into PDF format and the application is working fine.But in the resulted PDF file i'm not getting GridView Headers.
I have a date that is entered into the database in dd/MM/yyyy format via a form.
It is then outputted on another page in a sort of calendar style, ie MMM and dd.
When this form is filled in in the UK, and the date is for example the 3rd April, everything is ok. However if filled out in the US, when outputted the date shows as 4th March.
So my question is how do I ensure, when outputting the date, it's read as dd/MM/yyyy and not MM/dd/yyyy ?
Is it a problem that should be addressed when the data is added, or when it is printed?
On my web pages I display the data as mm/dd/yyyy and that is how the user will enter the dates as well. But when I pass the textbox control that has the date in it as a parameter to the SQLDataSource control, I need it to be sent in the YYYY-MM-DD format for the AS400. Is there a way it can be changed in between?
