Forms Data Controls :: Use Eval Or Bind In A Databound Control?

Sep 8, 2010

I have a repeater I've databound with a generic arraylist from a LINQ query (.ToList() ) in the code behind.

I was using

<%# Bind("FirstName")%> but noticed
<%# Eval("FirstName")%> works just as well.

Is it better to use Eval or Bind? or does it depend on the situation?

[code]....

gives me error: Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

I could write : <%# Eval("SaveDate") != DBNull.Value ? do magic But I need to do lots of html magic in if statement.

I know I should add # in order to use Eval, but not sure about correct syntax.

C# - Getting Eval To Work In A Databound, Templated Custom Control?

Sep 29, 2010

Context

I'm putting together a templated, databound control. Presently it works with the following syntax...
<cc:ItemChooserControl ID="ItemChooser" runat="server">
<TitleTemplate>
<h4><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DisplayName") %></h4>
</TitleTemplate>
</cc:ItemChooserControl>

Problem

What I would like though is that the shorter, simpler Eval would work instead.
<h4><%# Eval("DisplayName") %></h4>
What I get however when using straight Eval is an error:
Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

Code

I'm databinding to a custom HtmlTableCell...
public class TitleTemplateTableCell: HtmlTableCell, INamingContainer
{
private object m_DataItem;
public virtual object DataItem
{
get { return m_DataItem; }
set { m_DataItem = value; }
}
}

With the following custom DataBind (non-related code removed)...

foreach (object dataItem in dataSource) {
TitleTemplateTableCell title = new TitleTemplateTableCell();
TitleTemplate.InstantiateIn(title); // TitleTemplate is the template property
title.DataItem = dataItem;
title.DataBind();
}

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.

C# - Which Databound Control Should Be Use For Nested Databound Controls?

Dec 7, 2010

I want to render something like this (with ASP.Net Controls in the codebehind):

<ul>
<li class="first"><h1>This is a caption</h1></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo1</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo3</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo4</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li class="first"><h1>This is a another caption</h1></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo5</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo6</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo7</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo8</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo9</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo10</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="" target="_self">Foo11</a></li>
</ul>

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.

Forms Data Controls :: Refresh Databound Control On AJAX Tab?

Jan 6, 2010

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?

<asp:Content
ID="Content1"
ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1"
Runat="Server">

Forms Data Controls :: Adding Calculated Fields To A Databound Control?

Oct 14, 2010

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.

Forms Data Controls :: How To Set DataList's EditItemTemplate To User Control And Databound It

Feb 24, 2011

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

<EditItemTemplate>
<uc:MyUserControl id="myUserControl1" runat="server" />
</EditItemTemplate>

and then bind it to data in ItemDataBound event handler, but it remains empty

if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.EditItem)
{
var p = (Pair)DataBinder.GetPropertyValue(e.Item.DataItem, "Key");
((AnnouncementUserControl) e.Item.FindControl("userControl1")).RepeaterDataSource =
_templateWorker.ReturnTemplateByAnnouncementId(Convert.ToInt32(p.First), true);
}

how can I databound my control, or another approach which will make me avoid this problem?

Forms Data Controls :: Make A Databound Control With A Custom Scrollbar?

Mar 22, 2010

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.

Forms Data Controls :: Passing The Underlying Data Of The Databound Control?

Mar 30, 2010

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.

Eval means one way binding(i.e;readonly)
Bind means two way binding(i.e;both read as well as write the datasource)

but none of them explained it more clearly.all i want to know is how can i use the Bind to update/insert something from the datasource?
