View 5 RepliesThe Detailsview has a template containing a textbox for one of it's fields.When an item is selected in the Gridview, I want to set a property of the textbox. How do I do that? I've tried Findcontrol for the item during Prerender of the detailsview. I've also tried many other things. Below is a portion of my aspx code followed by my VB code.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataKeyNames="LU_DutyStations_ID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<Columns>
asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Duty Station Code" HeaderText="Duty Station Code"

I have a sql data souce that returns several columns of data, and they are displayed in a DetailsView on a pretty simple vb.net page. I'm stuggling with one field though for the details view.
It's a template field, and if ClientType=1 (this value is determined else where on the page), then the label in the template field should have Text='<%# Bind("ClientName") %>', but if the ClientType = 0, then the label in the template field should have Text='<%# Bind("ClientTemporaryName") %>'
How do I tell the details view to set the text for ClientName to one or the other?

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 RepliesIs there anyway to have a detailsView auto Generate the fields in a Table.I am binding my detailsview to a datatable but only getting the first two fields ....
View 1 RepliesI have been having trouble with this for a while now. I have a bound textbox within a Detailsview, to which I have added a RegularExpressionValidator (REV). The Regular Expression used is [a-zA-Z]*
After running the Web Form, the Edit button opens the fields. Any entries made cause the REV error msg to be displayed when the Update button is pressed, irrespective of the validation. The Update button continues to be displayed until the Cancel button is selected and the original record is returned to the screen replacing any entries.
The RequiredFieldValidator works correctly.
I have a Detailsview working fine in ASP.NET 2.0 VB. where I can obtain any links or articles detailing the settings for the Template as a guide to me apply RegularExpressionValidators to a number of the fields in my application.
My application works fine with the Required Field Validator. The majority of examples that I have been able to find are using this particular Validator.
I would like to use the trim() method to remove white spaces at the beginning and/or end of text entered in text boxes that are in Insert and Edit Item templates. example with the code below if there is a way to do this?
This is the example of one of my template fields:

I have a DetailsView which has two fields - one that is visible, one that is not. The first the user fills out, the second I want to auto-populate. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a way to set the value in this second invisible field. I've tried adding code like this to the Page_Load:
If Not IsPostBack Then
DetailsView1.DefaultMode = DetailsViewMode.Insert
Dim txt1 As TextBox = DirectCast(DetailsView1.FindControl("Type"), TextBox)
txt1.Text = "administrator"
End If
But this returns an error of "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." how to accomplish this - either using the method above or another method? The hoped for end result is that when a new record is inserted via the DetailsView that this record will include the username (entered by the user) as well as the "type" of "administrator"

I have 3 edit template fields in the gridview with 1st and 3rd as a textbox and second one is a dropdownlist. The second one gets it's data from another table. I'm trying to get the values in the 2nd one and I'm unable to do it.
View 1 RepliesI have a details view on my page that has a template field in it. In the template field is a button that when clicked, sets the visible property of another field to true. When this happens the whole detailsview resets and anything that was entered into other fiields is cleared. Is there any way to prevent the other fields from being cleared when the hidden field is set to be shown.
View 1 RepliesIn this case I'm having, the ItemTemplate for various fields in my DetailsView (2 in my case) does not show up, but when you click the edit button, the EditItemTemplate shows up. I played with it, moving it around. No matter where I put it, one of the fields did not show up.
To get even stranger (and don't ask me how I came up with this), if I put a dummy boundfield BEFORE it, the ItemTemplate shows up. But this is totally absurd.
Here's the html:
[code]....
I am using the DetailsView Control to read a LastUpdatedDate field (which can be null until an update is performed) from the database. The LastUpdatedDate is of type DateTime saved in UTC. With the DetailsView control, I can use the NullDisplayText property of the boundfield to safely display an custom message. However, once converted to a template field, that property is lost. Now, how would I display that message if the field is null as I am also formatting the date for display to show in local time.

View 1 RepliesHow would I format the template fields to be arranged on the screen different other than side by side? I suggested we use a repeater but they want to use the gridview. I need to format is where I can have one field at the top, another under it and then a description field under it.
View 1 RepliesI have a DetailsView control in a VS2010 project. There are 20 fields, most of which have been converted to template fields. However, when I right click the control and choose Edit Template, I only see the first 15. I cannot choose to edit any of the template fields beyond that. The fields work when I run the project, but I cannot edit them via the designer. Is this by design or is something corrupted?
View 2 RepliesI'm a beginner in Asp.Net and i have some problems to resolve. (It's hard to find good threads in french community)
I've a DetailsView linked to a GridView, in fact the DetailsView get the selected item of the GridView to return the associated datas.
I would like on the load of my DetailsView to get the values of the labels contained in my DetailsView to set my class's attributes.
But my .cs can't recognize the IDs of my DetailsView's Labels...
I have a working gridView/DetailsView used as a member Lookup.
Some Fields in the Details View have data only some of the time, and when there isn't any, I want to suppress that row of the detail. No Go.
It seems that some of the function available in other controls don't exist so I cannot make the "field and its "header" Visible = "False"
FWIW, The control is nested inside a loginview control.
[Code]....
When I try and put logiin the control the error I get is:
Error 156 Literal content ('<asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-Wrap="false" HeaderText="PO Box:" Visible="') is not allowed within a 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlFieldCollection'. C:UsersBillDocumentsMy Web SitesNausetNewcomersMembershipCopy of Lookup.aspx 345
I'm trying to use the DetailsView to make Updates. The problem is that it can't handle empty fields even though the underlying table field allows nulls.
I get a message like this if I change the "State" field to blank when doing an update
The parameterized query '(@Cust_ID int,@Cust_DL nvarchar(7),@DL_State nvarchar(2),@Last_N' expects the parameter '@State', which was not supplied.I'm using an object data source control which is calling the EditCustomer method in my Customer Class. I'm not sure how to fix this.

Im not sure what i could have done wrong here but i created a dataset (ran a query and it returns the correct data) - created my BLL class - bound the ObjectDataSource to the control using the BLL - ran the site and all the data is showing as expected. Now i click edit columns (from DetailsView smart tag) and the selected fields are empty. I refresh the schema and this makes no difference. What could i be doing wrong?
