Forms Data Controls :: Way To Manually Setting Up Gridview Fields And Sorting Using Datatable
Mar 20, 2011
I have a need to call Oracle stored procs to populate a gridview. I'm able to call one stored proc to get the column header text and another one to get the corresponding data. Currently I'm using a datareader, but I want my gridview to have sorting and paging enabled, so likely I'll need to read the data into a datatable and then bind the gridview to it.I've never had to manually configure a gridview - usually just use autoformatting.1. Do I essentially set up the columns manually in the gridview since it has no data to go off of in design mode? I'm guessing most of these will be Bound fields. A few of my columns are going to display date values that need to be formatted a certain way
and one column will be a link that needs to call a second method to populate a different grid. I'm not sure what the syntax for this is.

not quite sure where I'm going wrong here. I'm trying to manually handle sorting in a Gridview that is populated with the following data source:
[Code]....
[Code]....
[Code]....
At the moment, nothing is happening when I click on the column headings. I ran it in debugging mode in Visual Studio and put a breakpoint on the Sorting event handler. I noticed that the variable dtSortTable is empty even after the TryCast(VacanciesGV.DataSource, DataTable). If I hover over this statement in debugging, it shows the data from the file system, so it does appear to be reading it.

I have a GridView with bound columns, for which I am manually setting the ItemWidth and HeaderWidth to 500px, and nothing happens. Is there some trick to getting this to work?
This is a column a large amount of text in it, and it keeps sizing to the width of the header text, which is simply "note". I don't want to set Wrap to false, becuase then the colummn could be thousands of px wide in cases.

I'm trying to sort GridView but I have problem with converting DataSource to DataTable. Object of DataTable is empty. I don't know how to convert it.Do you have any ideas? Here is my code:
private void SortGridView(string sortExpression, string direction)
{
DataTable dt = GridViewDzialania.DataSource as DataTable;
DataView dv = new DataView(dt);
dv.Sort = sortExpression + direction;
GridViewDzialania.DataSource = dv;
GridViewDzialania.DataBind();
}

Moderators Note: THIS ISSUE IS BIG FOR ME AND EVEN IF POSSIBLE, GET THE REPLY FROM THE DESIGNER OF GRIDVIEW. I have been looking for him for long. I am really fed up with reviewing a good lot of web pages on how we can possibly customize the gridview to enable sorting and paging. So many sites have listed out a lot of information and so many guidances. But the problem is that one works out fine and the other is a burden. I really feel bad about being given the job of customizing this kind of a gridview which has no user friendly approach to it. Also, this control is rendered without the pager links inside the <tfoot> tag. I have tried the Pear Pager in php. It is that good and easy to use and compared to that, the gridview in asp.net is the worst ever control i have ever tried so far.
1. i can use the images to indicate the sorting direction
2. I can have the custom pager like
[code]
<<Previous 1 2 3 .. 7 Next >>.
[/code]
When i click the next when i am viewing the page at 3 , the pager links should change as
[code]
<<Previous 2 3 4 .. 7 Next >>
[/code]
Kindly look into this type of requirement and firstly tell me whether this is possible with the gridview control. I would like this request even to be escalated to the designers of the gridview control also, so that Microsoft comes out with a reply THAT WORKS and not the kind of stuff like surfing through a lot of links and pages and finally wasting a lot of days precious time and still breaking the head with this useless control. I have spent a lot of time in searching for a perfect way. Not writing a code that is non-standard. I am really serious b'cos I have spent weeks in customizing this control. If I dont get a solid reply atleast now, I am going to generate all the output by HTML content by custom coding.

I am using TempleteFields for all columns in my GridView. In that columns I am using only some fields for customization but not all.
Is there any performance issue with Databound Fields vs Templete Fields in a GridView...?
Do I need to replace the remaining columns with Databound Columns instead of TempletField columns...?

I have a GridView, and I want Column1 to be equal to datatable data (filled by a SqlDataAdapter). Then I have two other fields by the SqlDataAdapter (first name, last name), and I want to have those two fields combined to form Column2. I have a TemplateField for my GridView that combines the first name and last name with Eval()'s, but the GridView places this combined field TemplateField and puts it as the first column.
How can I do this so that TemplateField can go in between fields that are databound?

I have a gridview which is bound to a DataTable. When I try to sort the gridview, it goes blank. How can I enable sorting this gridview? I know this question has been asked before, but what I'm looking for is an explanation of how to do it. Perhaps with a simple example.
I have read that I need to put some code in the on_sorting and/or on_sorted events, but I don't understand what needs to go there. Again, I want to understand the method of accomplishing this, I don't just want a giant block of code.

i want to build a datagrid bound to a datatable with several columns. One column has only a dropdownlist with the number of the rows in the datatable.
Here a samplescreenshot:

I know how to bind the columns to a grid and its no problem to create such a dropdown list with the content for me, too. But i dont know how to sort the complete datatabl after changing one value of one dropdown listbox.
So, how can i resort the values of a datatable column based on a given value and the datarow id?

I have a gridview with data. I want a button which is not part of the gridview. Then if I press a button the gridview is sorted by two colums. i.e column1 ascending column2 descending.
I am not looking to work with a Sqldatasource as I use a data access layer. So the sort would have to be from a datatable and databind or directly with the gridview.

I want to insert an extra row in the gridview in the RowDataBound event (or another place if thats possible). How can I do that?
The data in the row to be inserted is not part of the resultset, but rather to split the gridview in logical sections.

I have a gridview that I am manually binding in my code behind page because I have to pull out information from other sources for the WHERE clause.The issue is that I get an error on the aspx page that one of the columns is not in the dataview, however when I run the SQL statement in SQL all the columns are there and there is not a spelling error.If I remove the column from the gridview then the page loads.I cannot see why the column is a problem.Here is my ASPX gridview code.
[Code...]
This is the line where the error occurs. <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("date_submitted") %>'></asp:Label> Here is the code behind
[Code...]
Here is the ending SQL statement that works in SQL and does return the date_submitted column. SELECT id, title, date_submitted, (SELECT username FROM users WHERE (id = t.submitted_by_user_id)) AS submitted_by, (SELECT name FROM departments WHERE (id = t.department_id)) AS department FROM tickets AS t WHERE (closed_by_user_id IS NULL) AND (department_id = 48 OR t.department_id = 83) ORDER BY t.date_submitted DESC

Can you add a row of data programatically and bind it to the gridview? If so, how?
I have a grid with 2 columns. One of these columns is a template that runs a function and delivers an output. Within that function I need to manually add data that is not present in the sqldatasource to the grid and use it when performing aggregate functions.
ColumnA - ColumnB
1 - MyFunction(1) - adds new row (1, B)and returns A to column B.
2 - MyFunction(2) - May return just A
Grid should look like
1 - A
1 - B
2 - A
Even though SQLDataSource only returns
1 - AB
2 - A

I've got a GridView control with LinkButtons in different cells. Currently when someone clicks a link, it fires the ItemCommand passing the CommandName and the ID of the item the link is bound to. That all works fine. I need to modify it now to not use links anymore. It now needs to show a popup balloon with a link (styled to look like a button) and when the link is clicked, I want it to do the exact same thing. I'm sure there are several ways of doing this, but for time's and consistency's sake, I'm copying the method used from another page we have that is already doing this. It has a hidden DIV on the page with the link in it. When you hover over a link, javascript repositions the div and makes it visible.
So what I need to do is pass my CommandName and item ID to the javascript so that it can trigger the postback when they click that single link. I know this is not the only way to get to the end result, but what I want to do if possible, is still fire the GridView's ItemCommand and set he DataListCommandEventArgs' CommandName and CommandArgument properties. Can someone explain how, under normal circumstances, clicking the LinkButton in the GridView fires the ItemCommand? I know that the LinkButton's click event is forwarded to the GridView but what gets sent from the client side that let's the server know the link was clicked?

I have tried a few different ways to add columns of data to a gridview. I have just about got success, except for I am having problems with only getting the last value in my array of data to insert into the gridview column. For example if I return 4 rows from an sql query, with the values of 2, 4, 6, 8. The last value (8) shows in all for rows of the gridview for that particular column.

I got a web page, it has a tabcontainer, within each tab, there will be a gridview, all the tabs and gridview are created at run-time, i have only one code, that I will loop through to create all those tabs and gridview. When I apply the sorting, and I click on the column name on any grid, it returned an error saying index was out of bound. BUT, when there is only ONE grid view created, it is working fine, I suspect it mixed up all the grid view's id and so on. But I have assigned different ID to gridview

I have a DataSet comprised of two DataTables. One of the DataTables is further comprised of the results of two different SQL calls. I need to alphabetize the results of those SQL calls. After the seconds set of results is added to the DataTable I tried the following but the end result (displayed on the page) did not alphabetize the returned results. There was no error. Can anyone advise me please. 'programs' is the DataTable name, title is the column name.
programs.DefaultView.Sort = "Title ASC";
