I am using asp.net grid view which has is populated dynamically that means it has auto generated columns at run time.
I just want to know db type of these columns whether a column is text , date or int type.
I'm creating a column through ItemTemplate in my gridview, how can i adjust it to be my last column, unfortunately .net is making this column to be the first in grid view i want it to be the last column. The rest of the columns are automatically created by this code.
I mean
gridview1.datasource = myArrayList
gridview1.databind()
i hav a dyanmically generated gridview with autogenerated columns = true.. i want to change the width of a column of a grid... i tried to do it in row databound event as...
e.Row.Cells[1].Width = Unit.Pixel(300);
but it doesnt work... and since d columns are genrated dynamically i cant set d width as grd.columns[0].width =...
I have a "database explorer" page that is desgined to be pointed to an unknown database and allow users to browse the data, so it basically uses the SQL system tables to develop its queries and pull in data to tables using auto-generate columns.The problem that I have is that I would like certain types of columns to have certain formats and I'm wondering the best way to go about it. I could format the column in code in the RowDataBound event I assume, but I'm wondering if there some better standard way to do this? Is there a setting of any kind that I can use? For example I want all of the datetime fields to be formated for short date, like {0:d}, I want decimal fields to have 4 decimal places, etc.
View 2 RepliesI have a gridview which has a column of auto generated select buttons, where a user can select a row.However, I would like to add a column header to my auto generated select buttons in order to make the gridview look complete, but I am unable to see how I can do this. Does anyone know how I can add a header text to an auto generated select button?

View 5 RepliesBackground: I'm populating lots of asp.net c# GridViews and ListViews from a database and subsequently users may export them to Excel. I want export as native Excel (not html). I can't use office automation, and I'm using JET which works fine. I have no control over users' machines. Question: When doing the export, you have to tell Jet what type each field is, in my case "text" (varchar) or "numeric" (double). The difference is that if you export a numeric column, the users can sum the data in Excel, where as strings are exported with a leading apostrophe and so are not much use in arithmetic.
Currently I parse the first data row of the Grid/ListView, check if each value is numeric or text, and assign a type to the column accordingly. That works, except for when I have something in the first column which looks numeric but in fact is a text string. I don't want to parse every row in order to be sure I have the correct data type as some of these exports are quite large. When I load the Grid/ListView from the database, the database certainly knows what type each field is. So my question is... how do I extract the type of the database item behind a a Grid/ListView item? I could explicitly code it as an attribute on the item, but that's duplicating information I already have, if only I can get to it. I know that where I have a DataTable then I can get the underlying type from that, but mostly I don't have tables handy, just the Grid/ListView. Note that Jet will throw if you try to insert an empty string into a nullable numeric column. The way to do this is to omit that column name from the insert statement, or output a zero.
I am currently working on a module in which I am creating an auto generated column gridview, and I have set the Auto generate edit button field to true. What happens now when I click the edit button The primary key field is turned in to edit mode which I want to restrict from being updated.
To restrict the same I have hard coded a template field which holds that column, But as I have set the AutoGenerateColumns Property to true the gridview automatically creates a duplicate field for holding the primary key column. For which I want to delete that particular column.
My Designer Code is:-

in page load I am binding the grid view.
Even I have tried to hide that column doesn't make any difference for me.

View 2 RepliesI have a gridview which makes use of a datasource. The columns are auto-generated.

I would like to inquire about the delete the data in gridview with automatic number parameter ..when I edit a field with auto parameter number, how do I delete a field that does not automatically sort ..ex:
1. ROBERT
2. EMILIA
3. JOSE
When I remove the column to 2 EMILIA, then display in gridview 1. ROBERT 3. JOSE.
Coding that I got when I remove emilia then display in gridview 1.ROBERT 2.JOSE .. (sequence automatically)
private void Bindemptydt() {
//Declare a datatable for the gridview
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
//Add Columns to the datatable
dt.Columns.Add("COLUMN");
dt.Columns.Add("TEXT");
