I have a control that inherits CompositeDataBoundControl. Based on the values of the bound data, I create som dynamic controls. In order to preserve state, I need to recreate the control tree on every request(from CreateChildControls):
[code]....
The problem is that on postback the PaymentMethod object is null, so I have no method of knowing what kind of control to recreate. That means that the control state is ruined. If I hardcode the type of payment control to make, it works as expected:
The amount of li elements that will be rendered into each ul is determined at runtime. Each link in a li belongs to into a specific ul (the one containing a specific caption. Imagine this as a kind of a treeview with nodes and subnodes) During the bind Event I need access to an ASP:HyperLink that will be rendered into the a-element. Which databound ASP.Net control should I pick for this? Looks like a repeater in a repeater, which should make the databinding process ugly. I'm thinking about creating this HTML-Output with StringWriters myself.
I have a stored procedure (For Eg: sp_GetAvlData) that accepts a number of parameters, 3 of which are TimeFrom, TimeTo (as varchar) and TimeInterval (as int), formulates a Dynamic query and executes itself. So for instance, if I call the proc as follows:
[code]....
dtAvl is the datatable containing the results of my stored procedure.
The next step for me is to make each of the cells (except the cells in the first column) as a Hyperlink so that when clicked upon a cell, it populates 2 textboxes with the selected Timeslot and Name or ID (ID field is not displayed in Gridview). The textboxes are located on the same page but outside of the Gridview control.
The Challenge that I'm facing out here are:
1) As you can see, the field names being generated are not fixed and I have no control over them.
2) Because the field names are not fixed I'm not sure I can implement this using the Templatefields or BoundFields of Gridview.
Is there any way to achieve the Hyperlinking of these cells within the Gridview?
I am facing certain problems with the data formatting in GridView when the data is bound dynamically to it.
I have a DateTime column and want to only show Date from it and not the time.
Another Decimal type column which accepts decimal upto 4 places, I want to show decimal upto the places defined in the particular value (don't know how to put it in the correct way, but here is an example of what I want).
i.e.
1.0000 should be displayed as 1 after the databound in the gridview.
I am trying to add an image overlay of a cell within a data bound gridview cell in ASP.Net (C#). The effect is designed to have a string within the image that is going to sit on top of the image that is pulled from the server.
IE: Database contains path to images. Data grid is pulling these images in based on the ID of the items in question. I need to pull the price from the database and lay it onto an image that is placed over the data bound image cell.
SQL Statement gets results.
Results contains path to image for items.
Items are sometimes on sale, so a special overlay is needed.
Overlay will have a varying price overlaying it.
I tried to break it down into easy portions. I am not sure if I am over thinking things or not but I can't find a feasible way to do this. The data is converted to a table due to the data grid control in ASP.Net, and there isn't any way to determine the IDs after the table is created.
I'm working in a web application and my page is using a databound formview control. When i first enter the page via my code, I am unable to retreive a value from any of my controls -e.g. when i debug, i see that tbDate.text has no value (see code below). How can I retreive the values from the controls on my page e.g text boxes?
Code:
if (!this.IsPostBack) { TextBox tbDate = (TextBox)FormView1.Row.Cells[0].FindControl("txtDate"); }
i am developing a tree view component which should be data driven and amendable instead default layout provided by .net can we change that proper hierarchial structure like organization chart is there any chance to provide with an hyperlink to redirect other page or content view control below to display the content related to it.
I have an AJAX tab container with 2 panels within aspx page. Each panel hosts an ascx control. Each control contains GridView and FormView that are databound - 1st control to the parent table and 2nd - to the child. The 2nd control/tab contains standard DropDownList that is bound to the parent values so the user can select a parent to create "child" for. everything works fine except when the parent (on the 1st tab control) is created/updates the ObjectDataSource on the 2nd tab does not getting refreshed. Only after refreshing the hole page I can see the new "parent" value in the ddl on "child" page. I use strongly typed dataset. How I can programmatically refresh the DataSource? Simple rebinding didn't make a dent. Do I need to refresh page, the tab container, tab panel?
I need a form that displays three columns drawn directly from a database (no problems here) as well as two fields that require some complex calculations. Not only am I lost as to how to incorporate the calculations into the control, I don't know exactly how to write the calculations. I am working in Visual Web Developer 2008 with Vb.NET.
The first of the two fields should take the sum of all payments made by a given customer and divide it by a DailyMembershipRate, returning a DaysPaid variable. It should take this variable and a CustomerSince field for that particular customer and calculate a PaidThrough field.
The second of the two columns similarly requires the DaysPaid variable described above. It should subtract the CustomerSince field from the current date and return the value in days, giving a MembershipDays variable. Finally, it should subtract MembershipDays from the DaysPaid variable, again returning a value in days, and then multiply this by the DailyRate value for a Credit/Deficit field.
I realize this is a lot, but I haven't been able to find any documentation either online or in VWD or ASP.NET texts on this topic. I could really use some fellow user input.
I have DataList control and I want to assign to it's edititemtemplate some User Control. The problem is I can't find when I should databound UserControl to data, as my UserControl doesn't have static look (it renders different depending on some property values and datasource).
I was try to simply set my user control in edititemtemplate
I'm working on a website to showcase some of my bird photography, using ASP.NET 2.0 and C# with a SQLServerExpress backend.What I have right now is a ListBox bound to my database that displays a list of common names of birds and when the user clicks on an item in the listbox the main image on the page is changed to the image for that bird. For style reasons I want the listbox to always be a fixed size and because I specify the size (using CSS) a vertical scrollbar appears. My problem is that I want to provide my own images of arrows that go above and below the box such that when the user hovers over an arrow the box scrolls slowly and when the user clicks an arow the box scrolls quickly. Finally, my main problem is that I want to get rid of the ugly default vertical scrollbar that comes with ListBox.
Can you guys help me figure out how to do this? I don't mind using a different control other than ListBox as long as it is available in ASP.NET 2.0 and as long as it can be bound to my db. I also don't mind using JavaScript (which I'm sure I'll end up doing for the hover effects). Right now I'm fooling around with subclassing the ListBox control but I've never subclassed a control before so I'm somewhat clueless.
I'm using a gridview to extract a set of records. I need to add another field to the gridview, which can calculate the difference between a date associated with each record and the current date.
I have a big problem...I have made a page has a Data FormView controland the insert template of this Formview control has DropDownList to allow the user to choose section (SectionsDDList)..and there's also another DropDownList allow the user to choose a teacher (TeachersDDList)...more infothe SectionsDDList get the section list from SqlDataSource control which the "Select Command" of is:"SELECT section_id,section_id FROM sections"the TeachersDDList get the teachers list from another SqlDataSource control which the "Select Command" of is:"SELECT teacher_id,teacher_name FROM teachers WHERE (section_id = @section_id)"finallyI want the TeachersDDList to be filled with teachers according to the selected section from the SectionsDDList...So,I enable the Auto postBack function of the SectionsDDListand add the next code for the SectionsDDList_SelectedIndexChanged event:TeachersDataSource.SelectParameters["section_id"].DefaultValue = ((DropDownList)sender).SelectedValue;be aware that both of the SectionsDDList & TeachersDDList have been Bounding to a column...and the problem I have faced is that:Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.maybe you want to know the Stack Trace:[InvalidOperationException: Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.]

i have a FormView, and i already have a Label control that gets the value of theselected propery inside the FormView, so each time the FormView displays data, i have a Label control that displays individual values, according to the value of the FormView, here is the code:
[code]....
What i would like to do is to know how i could add a DataList instead of a Label, and then each time the FormView databinds an item, to show the value of the DataList How would i go about doing that?
In my asp.net web page i have a dropdown box. Say like i have to bind EmployeeName to this dropdown box to show up as items.
I am using a dataTable to bind to this grid by having two columns in DataTable (EmployeeId and EmployeeName). But i am only binding the EmployeeName to the dropdown list box.
In the UI, after the user selects an Employee, I need to pass that employee's id to a function. Is there any way, i can directly pass the underlying data (EmployeeID in the DataTable attached to this dropdown), when the user selects the EmployeeName from the dropdown. Or i will have to make a roundtrip to the database and get the selected Employee's Id and then pass it to the function.
Depending on the case, I'd like to hide a databound control in a page. But no matter what I try, it seems like the control will try biding no matter what. I've tried setting Visible="false", but it would still try to bind. I've tried putting the control into a placeholder and then hide the placeholder, it will try to bind anyway. I've also tried putting it into a MultiView, same thing. You would think that in a wizard interface using a MultiView you would not want the controls in the next steps of the wizard to bind, but no. It binds anyway...
The only way I've found is to unset and set the DataSourceID property which seems to prevent binding.
I've come to a scenario where I need to databind something only if the user is logged in. To do this I am using the LoginView control to display a Login control when they are not logged in and a GridView control when they are logged in. However, when I databind to the GridView object in the LoginView, nothing ever gets displayed. I have been debugging it and I am databinding it to a DataTable that definitely has data in it, however nothing shows up.
Here is some of the code:
if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) { ((GridView)LoginView1.FindControl("GridView1")).DataSource = dt; ((GridView)LoginView1.FindControl("GridView1")).DataBind(); }
Is there a particular reason that this should not work? Is it bad practice?
I am working on a project in ASP.Net, in which I am using DataList control to list the candidate data. As we know, DataBoud event is available for gridview control, which is raises after databound. In DataList control no such event is available. Yes, ItemDataBound event is there which is arises on every Item bound. Let us assume, that I want the number of items are listed in datalist, after completing the data bound of datalist.
I want a javascript on a databound row to act on another control in the same row - show/hide for example. The classic ASP approach was to number the controls (usually by rowIndex so that they're easier to reference. I am wondering is there a way to do this in ASP.Net without writing any item command code?
So for html to render as follows
<div onClick='actOnX0'> <span id=x0>i am x0</span></div> <div onClick='actOnX1'> <span id=x1>i am x1</span></div> <div onClick='actOnX2'> <span id=x1>i am x2</span></div>
Can I insert the numbers using a databound property that returns say the rowIndex / item index of the current row?
Take for example a DetailsView control with an ObjectDataSource as its datasource.Normally in the DetailsView.ItemUpdated event I would grab a reference to the details view by casting the sender:
DetailsView dv = (DetailsView)sender;
In certain situations it becomes necessary to handle the event inside the ObjectDataSource.ItemUpdated event. In this case sender is now of type ObjectDataSource. What I want to be able to do is write clean code that isnt hardcoded like
I am fairly new to asp.net programming. I found this custom control that uses ajax to update the contents of the control and it is working perfectly. However, I need to access some of the asp.net labels and images in the databound event so I can set their values/properties appropriately, and am not sure how to go about adding additional code or accessing these in my custom control (I have been googling endlessly with no results). My code for the custom control is below.

I have a databound calendar control that loads the date from the database.The problem I have is that it defaults to todays date when the form is loaded, although when you scroll to the loaded date you see that the correct date is in fact selected. How can I force it to show the loaded date from the database from the start?
