Forms Data Controls :: Control Parameter EVAL From A Formview Item
Aug 31, 2010
I have a Formview ('formview1') with a pager. I also have a gridview ('gridview1') linked to a SQL datasource ('History'). I need to set the SelectParameter ('Serial') of the datasource to be the value of a field on the current page in the formview. The value i need to get is in the ItemTemplate and is a label called 'SerialNumberLabel'. So, something like:
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter Text = "Eval fromview1.currentpage.itemtemplate.SerialNumberLabel" >
I also need to ensure that the SQL source and gridview rebind when the pager is activated.
I am doing a library application. I am using a formview control to display and edit the details of an existing borrower.
What I wish to do is to allow the user to enter the borrower barcode into a textbox and select the details of the borrower corresponding to the barcode.
At present I have kept the textbox and a button outside the formview. Once the user enters the barcode in the texbox and clicks the button, the data is displayed in the formview control.
Now, my doubt is that is there a way to keep the textbox inside the formview control itself and use the value(Which should be user input) for selecting the details?
I'm using visual web developer and MS.Access and have the following created. 1. A formview control to enter data into the database 2. A File upload control that allows users to upload files. But however i'm unable to include the file upload control in the formview control. How can i achieve this? Below is the code for the page:
Iam using the below code in ASPX for displaying images that are present inside my website project folder
<a href=""><%# Eval("Columnname","Foldername/{0}") %></a> eg: <%# Eval("Gallery","ImageFolder/{0}") %> Now my question is I want to call the foldername itself from database its column name is GalleryFolder <%#Eval("GalleryFolder")%>
How to use eval inside another eval or is there any other options??
i already have a DataList, and i get any information from the rows i need by adding code such as:
[code]....
Well what i am doing there is using the values from the items that the DataList has obtained from the rows, now, what i need to do is EXACTLY the same, but for the FormView, i realised that this code does not work for the FormView, but only DataList control.
give me the code for doing exactly as shown, but for the FormView control.
I have a formview bound to a sqldatasource control. I want to set one of the insert parameters when I click on one of several buttons (outside the formview).
I want to set the "benType" depending on which button I've pressed (I don't want/need it to be visible in the InsertTemplate). I tried adding this line to the codebehind for the button click:
I have been trying for a while to populate a formview when I select an item from the dropdownlist. The dropdownlist is outside of the formview. For some reason, when I select a different item it does not change in the formview. Only the first item of the list shows up. I don't know where I'm doing wrong. I tried many things and suggested informatioin and I still could not get it to work. When I do try to switch I get this error message:
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I have a Formview residing inside am Item Template of a Gridview. The formview is not populating, and I am pretty convinced that I am not passing the parameter properly from the Gridview to the Formview. I have listed the relevant code only, so that you can scan though it easierGridview tag:
Sub PFTFormView_ItemUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FormViewUpdateEventArgs) Dim PFTObj As New PFT Dim PFTDST As New Data.DataSet Dim newPFTLastName As String = DirectCast(PFTFormView.FindControl("txtPFTLastName"), TextBox).Text Dim newPFTFirstName As String = DirectCast(PFTFormView.FindControl("txtPFTFirstName"), TextBox).Text PFTObj.PFTLastName = newPFTLastName PFTObj.PFTFirstName = newPFTFirstName PFTObj.PFTHome = DirectCast(PFTFormView.FindControl("txtPFTHome"), TextBox).Text If PFTObj.UpdatePFT(Session("PFTId")) Then Me.lblErrorMessage.Text = "PFT Update Successfully" Else ' Me.lblErrorMessage.Text = "PFT Update UnSuccessfully" End If PFTDST = Nothing PFTObj = Nothing end sub
In web config file I have add key values specified.
In the formview I have labels on edit , item and insert mode that I want to display all the time by getting those values from web config. I'm able to do that with no problem but when I change the modes between edit to insert or item view, I lose those label values until I hit the "select" twice from the Gridview, those values re-appear. Below is the snippet of the code. What do I need to do to retain the category values all the time?
I wish to add a sub to vb file that changes the display value of several asp:panels located in a Formview Item Template. My only question is what is the proper event to run this in. (databound, item created etc...) If it matters this formview appears in a Gridview Item Template.
i have the following scenario: one formview. when in editmode there is a child formview linked to the other by a column value. i need to take the value of one of the values of parent formview controls and set it to a textbox of child formview in insert mode. I wish to know which event should I use in codebehind to bind both controls? (that escenario will have paging and must keep the binding as if it was master detail)
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.]

It keeps telling me that the ItemName field is NULL, and throws an error, even though I can plainly see the value is being set in the textbox. Why is this value being thrown as NULL? Do I need to manually create the INSERT statement before I call the Insert()? How would I go about doing that?
