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?
View 2 RepliesI'm not for sure how the ControlCollection of ASP.Net works, so maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. I recently discovered the magic that is extension methods and Linq. Well, I was very sad to find that this isn't valid syntax
var c=Controls.Where(x => x.ID=="Some ID").SingleOrDefault();
However from what I can tell, Controls does implement the IEnumerable interface which provides such methods, so what gives? Why doesn't that just work? I have found a decent work around for this issue at least:
var list = (IEnumerable<Control>)Controls;
var this_item = list.Where(x => x.ID == "Some ID").SingleOrDefault();
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 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.
I have a view with 1 dropdown generated from Model property and 3 additional dropdowns that are generated from array property

The controller method initializes AgentTypeListItems collection + sets default values for AgentType dropdown and 3 dropdowns for the collection:

I can bind to properties in the ViewModel fairly simply like so:
<%=Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.isCool, true%>cool<br/>
<%=Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.isCool, false)%>not cool<br/>
but what if I wanted to bind to collection items within the ViewModel. I'm not sure if it's possible. Here's what I have:

I'm getting the following error: Templates can be used only with field access, property access, single-dimension array index, or single-parameter custom indexer expressions.
I have GridView bound to some List. In layout I created following template field:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Phrase">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="phraseTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Phrase") %>'/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
But after changing the content of any TextBox in column "Phrase" my List doesn't reflect that changes.
I have a situation where I need to databind a string array to a CheckBoxList. The decision if each item should be checked, or not, needs to be done by using a different string array. Here's a code sample:
string[] supportedTransports = ... ;// "sms,tcp,http,direct"
string[] transports = ... ; // subset of the above, i.e. "sms,http"
// bind supportedTransports to the CheckBoxList
TransportsCheckBoxList.DataSource = supportedTransports;
TransportsCheckBoxList.DataBind();
This binds nicely, but each item is unchecked. I need to query transports, somehow, to determine the checked status. I am wondering if there is an easy way to do this with CheckBoxList or if I have to create some kind of adapter and bind to that?
i have an objectdatasource bound to the System.Web.Security.Roles getAllRoles methods, this method returns an string[] with the names of the roles, then i wanna bind a gridview with this datasource, but it shows me just a one column named length(the length of each role name), how can i instead the length of the string that represent the role name, put the role name?
View 3 RepliesMy Grid is bound to a collection type datasource. When I try to sort the Columns in the Grid I get Javascript error saying sorting event not implemented. Why is the default inbuilt sort functionality not working which worked fine when I directly used a sqlDataSource using smart tag. Do I have to write some code to achieve sorting ?
View 1 RepliesThe 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.
How do I bind a DropDownList inside a DeatilsView?
I have something like that... but I'm unable to bind it.

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.
<asp:TextBox
ID="TextBox2"
runat="server"
Height="80px"
TextMode="MultiLine" Width="360px"
Font-Size="Small"
MaxLength="120"
Text=""
Font-Names="Calibri" AutoPostBack="True"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:BoundField
DataField="Description_Update"
HeaderText="Descrip"
SortExpression="Description_Update"
/>
Do I need to use adn Eval or DataBind function or both. I have triued several combinations and do nothing but continue to butcher the database tables.
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:
[Code]....
I am writing an ASP.NET custom control.In my custom control code, I find a PlaceHolder control in the page like so:this.myPlaceholder = Page.FindControl("placeholder1") as PlaceHolder Then, I render the placeholder as the output of the custom control:
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output)
if (this.myPlaceholder != null)
this.myPlaceholder.RenderControl(output);
However, this causes the placeholder to be rendered in two places - in the custom control output (good) and in the original location in the page (bad).
I have an asp.net usercontrol which represents a "popup" dialog. Basically, it's a wrapper for the jQuery UI dialog which can be subclassed to easily make dialogs.
As part of this control, I need to inject a div into the page the control is used on, either at the very top or very bottom of the form so that when the popup is instantiated, it's parent is changed to this div. This allows "nested" popups without the child popup being trapped inside the parent popup. The trouble is, I can't find a safe way to inject this div into the page. A usercontrol doesn't have a preinit event, so I can't do it there, and calling Page.Form.Controls.Add(...) in Init, Load or PreRender causes the standard exception "The control collection cannot be modified during DataBind, Init, Load, PreRender or Unload phases."
I thought I had found a solution by using...
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, Me.GetType, UniqueID + "_Dialog_Div", containerDiv, False)
... which seemed to work well normally, but recently a coworker tried putting an UpdatePanel inside the dialog and now she's getting the error "The script tag registered for type 'ASP.controls_order_viewzips_ascx' and key 'ctl00$ContentBody$OViewZips_Dialog_Div' has invalid characters outside of the script tags: . Only properly formatted script tags can be registered."
How are you supposed to add controls to the pages control collection from inside a user control?
I'm trying to write a bit of code that will format all the numeric values in lables in my gridview. here's what i am doing right now:On the RowDataBound Event, i create a row object for the row that is currently being bound.then i go use the FindControl method to grab each label by name.Problem is there's too many columns in this table and i really dont wnat to have to type it all out. Here's an example of what i am currently doing

Can i use myRow.Controls to grab a list of all the controls and then somehow get a list of all labels in the collection and then use a for loop to go through and format each label?
I have a list of objects that I want to bind to a gridview. Creating that list and binding it works fine for most of the public properties in that list.
There are some objects contained in each of those objects... for instance there is an Address object.
object.Address.Line1;
object.Address.Line2;
When I bind this to my gridview, I have no issues with stuff like object.DateRegistered, but how can I access things like object.Address.WhatEverProperty? I always get this error:
"A field or property with the name 'xxx.xxxx' was not found on the selected data source."
I want to know that how i use the collection class for storing some data and save it letter in the data base.
