After I use FormView in InsertMode and the record is added, I want it to switch directly to EditMode.
I assume I would place this command in this action:
protected
void FormView1_ItemInserted(object sender,
FormViewInsertedEventArgs e)
However, I can't find the correct command to issue.
Is there a way to create only the InsertItemTemplate in the FormView and then assign it to EditItemTemplate. Something like
Page_Load
{
FormView.EditItemTemplate = FormView.InsertItemTemplate;
}
my EditItemTemplate is not appear in my page, when i load my page it's does'nt exist but I already change my DefaultMode to Edit
View 1 RepliesI'm using an edittemplate to handle both editing and inserting for a Formview. In Insert mode, the Identity parameter is not needed (and cannot be used in the parameter list). In Edit mode, I need the bound value to know which record to update. So, what I tried to do is set the Text property in the OnDataBinding method.
[Code]....
The result is that the field is bound for Insert anyway, shows up as a parameter, and my insert statement fails (since this extra field messes up the field order of the parameters). Plus, it is always null in Insert mode by definition.
Is the OnDataBinding method too late to clear the property? If so, where can I do this, since PageLoad is too early (the template has not loaded yet and I cannot Findcontrol the field. Or is there a better way to handle all this?
I am using a formview on main web page and the Item template displays my data correctly but I get and error when I try and link to the edit or insert templates.This happens on our remote tesing server only.On my local machine running the page on the local server in VS 2010 everything works fine.But then doesn't it always work on your local machine.I might also mention that I am compiling for asp.net 4.0.
Here is the stack trace :

I would like to set the one template for edit/insert and view in my custom FormView control . But i got these odd exception Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.UI.LiteralControl' to type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table'.
public class CustomFormView : FormView
{
[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty), TemplateContainer(typeof(FormView), BindingDirection.TwoWay)]
public IBindableTemplate FormTemplate { get; set; }
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Edit);
if (FormTemplate != null)
{
if (CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Edit)
{
FormTemplate.InstantiateIn(this);
}
}
base.OnInit(e);
}
}

in the first step , I created the new user control and added a formview ("FV")
public partial class Form : UserControl
{
private IBindableTemplate _template = null;
[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty),
TemplateContainer(typeof(FormView), System.ComponentModel.BindingDirection.TwoWay)]
public IBindableTemplate FormTemplate { set;get }
protected void Page_Init()
{
if (FormTemplate != null)
{
FV.InsertItemTemplate = FV.EditItemTemplate = FormTemplate;
if (!IsPostBack) FormTemplate.InstantiateIn(FV);
}
}
}
Now , I want to convert this user control to web control.
For ASP.NET, I'm using a DetailsView for insert and edit of a record. For edit mode I don't want to display the primary key field because it should not be changed. For insert mode, I want to display the primary key field because it doesn't exist and the user can specify it via a DropDownList that insures they will pick an unique value. A TemplateField is used in the DetailsView markup for the primary key field (hence the DropDownList for insert mode).
My problem is that I cannot get the primary key field to not display for edit mode and to display for insert mode. In the markup I have:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="name" InsertVisible="True" Visible="True">
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl2NonMembers" runat="server"
Width="155px"
Sourceless="sqlNonMembers"
DataTextField="name"
DataValueField="id_adm"
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("member_grp") %>'>
</asp:DropDownList>
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
With the TemplateField Visible="True", the HeaderText="name" always displays which I don't want for edit mode. With the TemplateField Visible="False", the field never displays which I don't want for insert mode.How can I achieve the display behavior I want for insert verses edit mode. I'm fine with changing some property programmatically rather than relying an a pure markup approach,
I have a formview with various templates set up for a database that has 255 columns. I need the insertitemtemplate to pre-fill values based upon a specific selection by the user (just like the edit item template) but when the template is switched to insertitemtemplate every text box is cleared. The idea is that a new entry is usually made by making minor changes to an existing entry. With 255 fields I don't want to require the user to enter every field when only three or four need to change.
View 8 RepliesI use GridView & FormView to update a record. but when I click the "save" button, throw an except : FormView must be in the insert mode to insert a record. The record has been updated success, and I didn't change the mode of the FormView, how this error comes?
View 3 RepliesI have created a FormView whose defaultmode = "insert". When loaded the FormView displays the InsertItemTemplate. At the top of the page is a DropDownList used to select Clients. I have added a list Item to the DropDownList with value = "0" and text= "Select Client" option. So the Page is in Insert Mode. SO FAR EVERYTHING IS AS EXPECTED.
When I select a Client from the DropDownList, the page remains in Insert Mode (Don't understand why? ) Could it be the default Mode setting? So I added the following vb code.
Protected Sub ddlSelectClient_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ddlSelectClient.SelectedIndexChanged
If ddlSelectClient.Text <> "(Select Client)" Then
If FormView1.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Insert Then
FormView1.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Edit)
End If
End If
End Sub
So after an existing Client is selected, the FormView Mode should be changed to EDIT. AND INDEED THE EDIT ITEM TEMPLATE IS DISPLAYED.
Ah but life is not so simple (after all this is a Microsoft Application). So I enter data in some fields and click the [Update] Button.
Then I get the following message:
FormView 'FormView1' must be in edit mode to update a record.
THe FormView displays the Edit Template, the Update and Cancel Buttons are displayed. All this should mean I am in edit mode.
Just call me FrankenSoft !@#$%^^& or is it MicroStein?
Oh by the way I'm using Linq to SQL data sourcess. Should I be? I'm having a lot of problems with the FormView using Linq.
I have a column value on a Formview and I want to change it at the last second to a programmatic value.
So I created this function to work on ItemUpdating so that the value of one of the formview fields could be changed programmatically to a constant I do a response.write value to make sure there is something in there. However, checking the database, the only getting written is null:

I have a FormView in which I have placed RequiredFieldValidators on some of the input controls in EditItemTemplate. But the validators all don't work when I hit the submit button.
I've tried FormView1.FindControl("RequiredFieldValidator1").Enabled = true but the compiler complains that 'System.Web.UI.Control' does not contain a definition for 'Enabled'.
See my code below:

This is what i have using VS and VB: formview that is bound to a sqldatasource. In the formview i set up three panels and the visibilty is controlled by three buttons. I want to be able to click the edit link button and have the panel that is visible in readonly mode be the one visible in editmode
View 6 RepliesThere is a dropdown with two status (Cleared, Pending) in the formview.
I want to hide Edit button of the form if the dropdown displays Cleared. So that the user may not edit further in the data.
I'm trying execute code only when FormView is in Edit mode ---but the code following line this is being executed even in read-only mode.
If formname.CurrentMode
= FormViewMode.Edit
Then
there are 2 pages (SummaryGridviewPage.aspx and FormviewPage.aspx) there are insert, item and update templates in the FormviewPage 1st case - there is no problem to insert new record, select and update action in the FormviewPage
2nd case - However, there is problem when i select a record in GV and direct to FormviewPage for edit this code is added in Formviewpage to open the record at readonly mode, no problem
Private Sub RF_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
If Session("RecordID") <> "" Then ' to check New or Old record
SqlDataSourceRF.SelectParameters.Item("New_ID").DefaultValue = Session("RecordID")
FormViewProject.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.ReadOnly)
End If
End Sub
however, no record if go further from readonly to edit mode then Code is added to the Edit button
Protected Sub BtnEdit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
FormViewProject.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Edit)
SqlDataSourceRF.SelectParameters.Item("New_ID").DefaultValue = Session("RecordID")
FormViewProject.DataBind()
End Sub
Now edit problem is solved but when go back to the 1st case (new record, and then edit) Now new record can be inserted, and then show it in readonly mode. but then try to go to edit mode, no record show i think BtnEdit_Click code is conflicted with the built-in "Edit" command Could anyone show me some info how formview retrieve specific record in a proper way?
Is it possible to update and edit a record in Formview at the same time. Currently, the formview's default mode is set to Insert where users can add a new record to an SQL database, however, when that record is added I need that information to update another table all on one click. Is this possible with a stored procedure or a button that allows both?

View 1 RepliesI'm using listview with datapager.
when I'm trying to change the page if an item is in edit mode, the item with same row number in other page is opening in edit mode.
I keep getting a null reference when I try to access a listbox inside the EditItemTemplate of a formview. I check the mode before accessing the control (Formview1.CurrentMode) to make sure it is in edit mode and even set it manually to edit mode again! But formview1.findcontrol("blah") returns null. Formview1.EditItemTemplate does not have a FindControl method, not sure what else to try.
