C# - Can Use The DetailsView Control Without Binding
Jan 22, 2011
I wanna use the DetailsView control without binding it with a datasource (just in insert mode) but the problem is when I try to get the values of the fields throught ItemInserting event handler I found the e.Values property empty however there are some fields.
Note: I wanna use it (The DetailsView control) [instead of allign the fields manually] because there're already a theme for it in whole the system and I don't want to do that again from scratch for custom template.
I have a DetailsView control which gets data from a IEnumerable custom class. But I can't get updated values from the control so I can process to update them manually in the database. How can I do that?
I have a details view in asp.net which I am dynamically replacing some of the controls using code behind (e.g. converting some text boxes to dropdowns). My problem is that I am unsure how to bind these to the field from the database on postback. I.e. I am trying to find the code behind equivalent bind('currency');
I can populate the dropdown with the current value from the database but cannot find how to save a new value on updating the detailsview.
The title pretty much explains it. I want to bind a single item to a detail type control. I can bind to a repeater perfectly fine and obviously only one item will be displayed. It seems like there would be a better suited control for this. I know about FormView and DetailsView but they both generate a table which I don't really want. Something similar to the Repeater since it doesn't generate any content other than what you put in the template.
I'm trying to bind both GridView and DetailsView to a single ObjectDataSource declaratively (in markup). I'm getting the error read as below when I tried to run it.
"The DataSourceID of 'DetailsView1' must be the ID of a control of type IDataSource. A control with ID 'ReservationsDataSource' could not be found."
It works when I bind GridView and DetailsView each seperately to my ObjectDataSource. Is it I can't bind two pagable data web controls to a single datasource?? or there is a trick needed to be done for this to work.
FYI, I'm trying to create a Master/DetailsView of my data. DetailsView of my application should show the record selected in GridView and it should be editable.
I am currently binding my Detailsview and Gridview together by a "ID" field selectedvalue "1". Which works great except for the fact that I don't want the user to have to go down to the gridview and select the page and then the record to view it in the detailsview.
I have 1 sqldatasource for detailsview and another sqldatasoure for the gridview. Both have the exact same select statement.
I want the gridview and detailsview to automatically display the last record inserted not the first record in the table.
I have a bound field in a DetailsView that I want updated with the contents of TextBox2.Text when I update. I have TextBox2 set AutoPostBack True. Cannot remember how to move the contents on update. I tried converting the "Description_Update" to a template field without success.
I can copy and paste the contents of TextBox2 into the DetailsView and it does update as do the other DataFields.
I have a DetailsView (DV) control, an ObjectDataSource (ODS) control, and a button on a page. I have 2 classes in the App_Code directory (Customer and CustomerDAO). The DAO class provides static methods for the ODS control and simply hack values in (ie...no real database selects/updates). The Customer class has 2 properties (Id and Name) and a default constructor. The page takes an ID on the querystring and determines if the DV control is in insert or edit mode. If in edit mode, it sets the SelectParameter on the ODS (id field), calls ODS.Select(), and then calls DV.DataBind(). The existing (although fake) customer is loaded and display properly when this happens. I then change the name of the Customer in the DV and click the Button to save the new data.
Everything seems to be wired up correctly as the UpdateMethod that is specified in the ODS control is called and succeeds (even in my real example with my database). The problem is that the BoundFields in the DV control have not been updated with the new values and therefore the existing values are updated in the database and my changes are lost. I have handled the OnUpdating event of the ODS and the values are still the old values. I have also handled the OnItemUpdating event of the DV control and the NewValues IOrderedDictionary still has the old values in it also. In looking at the MSDN article for the UpdateMethod, it states the following:
Parameter Merging Parameters are added to the UpdateParameters collection from three sources:
From the data-bound control, at run time. From the UpdateParameters element, declaratively. From the Updating event handler, programmatically.
I am using the BoundField classes in my DV control so I would have assumed that the first bullet above would have handled the updating of values, but it doesn't appear to work with the way I am doing it. If I set the values explicitly in the OnUpdating event that is fired by the ODS control (the 3rd bullet) the right values are updated (again...even in my real database situation). It seems like my only issue is that the automatic binding that I expect from the DV control isn't working as I would expect it to. Here is the code that I have in my fake example:
I've got a dropdownlist control that the user can select an an employee name and that should then fill in the detailsview control with specific information about that employee.
My dropdownlist control works fine and I do have AutoPostBack set to true. For some reason my detailsview doesn't work. There's no error message. The detailsview control just doesn't show up.
Here's my code:
This is the sqldatasource control for the dropdownlist control:
[Code]....
This is the sqldatasource control for the detailsview control:
I have a asp.net detailsview control on a page. I've noticed that it always displays the raw text from my database field, it doesn't interpret the html in the text -- so it displays < b>mytext< /b> instead of just mytext in bold.
Is there anyway to get the control to interpret the html in the data being returned
I am trying to arrange the information from a SQL record into a 3 column by 3 row table to fit the form presentation that I want. I have placed on the page 3X3 table and then tried to place a detailsview in the first cell for the first picture called P1dv.
I have place a detailsview in the last cell that would control the paging of information called Controldv. I need to fiqure out how to link P1dv paging to Controldv page action. I am using visual web dev. 2005. I am not updating or editing these are read only views.
example of what i need the form output to look like:
I am going to use DetailsView control for the first time and before using it I thought I would like ask this question. Instead of using the SqlDataSource Object/Class Can i have my class to most of the functionality?In short I donot want to use the in build Sql Data Source control rather would prefer to write my own. Is it possible (I know it must be!) to write the custom SqlDataSource class.
But I´m trying to do that programmatically, not with the sqldatasource. So I wrote the method that binds data to Detailsview and I call it in the page_load. The problem is that I have to click two times on the select button to view the detailsview. The first time I click on the select button nothing happens.
I have a gridview with a Select button. Clicking the Select button for a particular item, I need its full details displayed in DetailsView. how I can bind to DetailsView? Here is what I have so far.
In classic ASP if you wanted to send a user to a specific page you would send/create a URL like :
posts.asp?id=24 ...the querystring indicating the post.
Well, in asp.net using a DetailsView control bound to a dataset, how do I do the same thing? In the address bar, all i see is posts.aspx when I'm paging through the records, no querystring part. How do I send a user to posts.aspx?id=24 when its a detailsview control on the page.
Note: I'm interested in sending a user to a specific postid not a specific index in the dataset.
In page1 on clicking template field named Edit the record goes into detailsveiw (Edit mode) to next page.
In detailsview, I have already set True to AutoGenerateEditButton so that the user update record and Click UPDATE or CANCEL.
I want to show a message "Record Updated Successfully" on clicking update and the page redirects to the Page1 and refresh the page1 with the updated record.
