Overlapping in listview c#

Good day, I have a list view that looks like this.
My problem is that the name of the items are overlapping, that name is from the database, do i have to set something in the properties for it not to overlap?
form_load code
private void FormAdhocReport_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LoadReport();
ToolBar(sRights);
}
LoadReport code:
private void LoadReport()
{
dsReports.Clear();
this.listReports.Items.Clear();
adhoc.AccountRowID = CurrentUserNameRowID;
string sRetXMLValue = adhoc.get_sp_Reports_View_Owner();
string XMLDOC = sRetXMLValue;
ReadXMLData(XMLDOC);
ListReportData();
//int count = listReports.Items.Count;
}
ListReportDataCode:
private void ListReportData()
{
try
{
// Get the table from the data set
DataTable dtable = dsReports.Tables[0];
// Clear the ListView control
this.listReports.Items.Clear();
// Display items in the ListView control
for (int i = 0; i < dtable.Rows.Count; i++)
{
DataRow drow = dtable.Rows[i];
if (drow.RowState != DataRowState.Deleted)
{
// Define the list items
ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(drow["ReportName"].ToString());
lvi.ImageIndex = 0;
lvi.SubItems.Add(drow["RowID"].ToString());
listReports.Items.Add(lvi);
}
}
}
catch { }
}
Don't mind this codes: string sRetXMLValue = adhoc.get_sp_Reports_View_Owner();
string XMLDOC = sRetXMLValue;
ReadXMLData(XMLDOC); because they're just for getting the data in the database.
Thanks in advance for your help.

GridView missing data between postbacks

So basically I am doing a manage packaging item system. The scenario is, when I select from gvSPU, gvFinalised should display the item in database. After that, when I add new item into the gvFinalised, it supposed to keep stacking up the items instead of wiping out the previous record and display the added latest one. Here is the code:
private List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems> tempDistSPUI
{
get
{
if (ViewState["tempDistSPUI"] == null)
{
return new List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems>();
}
else
{
return (List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems>)ViewState["tempDistSPUI"];
}
}
set
{
ViewState["tempDistSPUI"] = value;
}
}
protected void gvSPU_OnRowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
int packagesNeeded = prodPackBLL.getPackagesNeededByDistributionID(distributionID);
int rowNo = int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
SPUname = this.gvSPU.DataKeys[rowNo].Value.ToString();
lblSPUname.Text = SPUname;
List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems> templist = new List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems>();
templist = tempDistSPUI;
templist = packBLL.getAllDistSPUItemByDistributionIDnSPUName(distributionID, SPUname);
gvFinalised.DataSource = templist;
gvFinalised.DataBind();
this.tempDistSPUI = templist;
}
When gvSPU row is selected, it should store all the records into templist and display in gvFinalised.
List<string> prodVariantIDList = new List<string>();
private List<string> SelectedVariantDetailIDs
{
get
{
if (ViewState["SelectedVariantDetailIDs"] == null)
{
return new List<string>();
}
else
{
return (List<string>)ViewState["SelectedVariantDetailIDs"];
}
}
set
{
ViewState["SelectedVariantDetailIDs"] = value;
}
}
protected void lbnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<ProductPacking> prodVariantDetail = new List<ProductPacking>();
int packagesNeeded = prodPackBLL.getPackagesNeededByDistributionID(distributionID);
// get the last product variant IDs from ViewState
prodVariantIDList = this.SelectedVariantDetailIDs;
foreach (RepeaterItem ri in Repeater1.Items)
{
GridView gvProduct = (GridView)ri.FindControl("gvProduct");
foreach (GridViewRow gr in gvProduct.Rows)
{
CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)gr.FindControl("cbCheckRow");
//Prevent gvFinalised to store duplicate products
if (cb.Checked && !prodVariantIDList.Any(i => i == gvProduct.DataKeys[gr.RowIndex].Value.ToString()))
{
// add the corresponding DataKey to idList
prodVariantIDList.Add(gvProduct.DataKeys[gr.RowIndex].Value.ToString());
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < prodVariantIDList.Count; i++)
{
prodVariantDetail.Add(prodPackBLL.getProdVariantDetailByID(prodVariantIDList[i]));
}
gvFinalised.DataSource = prodVariantDetail;
gvFinalised.DataBind();
// save prodVariantIDList to ViewState
this.SelectedVariantDetailIDs = prodVariantIDList;
}
When add button is on click, it should append with the record in gridview instead of wiping them off and insert the checked one.
I am using the viewState to store the record between postbacks. However, when I try to add new item into gvFinalised, the previous record which in the templist will disappear and the gvFinalised will be populated with the result from prodVariantDetail list.
Any guide? Thanks in advance.
EDIT
List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems> itemList = new List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems>();
protected void gvSPU_OnRowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
int packagesNeeded = prodPackBLL.getPackagesNeededByDistributionID(distributionID);
int rowNo = int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
SPUname = this.gvSPU.DataKeys[rowNo].Value.ToString();
lblSPUname.Text = SPUname;
itemList = tempDistSPUI;
itemList = packBLL.getAllDistSPUItemByDistributionIDnSPUName(distributionID, SPUname);
gvFinalised.DataSource = itemList;
gvFinalised.DataBind();
this.tempDistSPUI = itemList;
}
protected void lbnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems> prodVariantDetail = new List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems>();
int packagesNeeded = prodPackBLL.getPackagesNeededByDistributionID(distributionID);
// get the last product variant IDs from ViewState
prodVariantIDList = this.SelectedVariantDetailIDs;
foreach (RepeaterItem ri in Repeater1.Items)
{
GridView gvProduct = (GridView)ri.FindControl("gvProduct");
foreach (GridViewRow gr in gvProduct.Rows)
{
CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)gr.FindControl("cbCheckRow");
//Prevent gvFinalised to store duplicate products
if (cb.Checked && !prodVariantIDList.Any(i => i == gvProduct.DataKeys[gr.RowIndex].Value.ToString()))
{
// add the corresponding DataKey to idList
prodVariantIDList.Add(gvProduct.DataKeys[gr.RowIndex].Value.ToString());
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < prodVariantIDList.Count; i++)
{
prodVariantDetail.Add(packBLL.getProdVariantDetailByID(prodVariantIDList[i]));
}
for (int j = 0; j < itemList.Count; j++)
{
prodVariantDetail.Add(itemList[j]);
}
gvFinalised.DataSource = prodVariantDetail;
gvFinalised.DataBind();
}
// save prodVariantIDList to ViewState
this.SelectedVariantDetailIDs = prodVariantIDList;
}

You have to add the elements of tempDistSPUI into prodVariantDetail before binding prodVariantDetail to gvFinalised.
Here's what I would do using List.AddRange Method:
protected void lbnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems> prodVariantDetail = new List<DistributionStandardPackingUnitItems>();
int packagesNeeded = prodPackBLL.getPackagesNeededByDistributionID(distributionID);
// get the last product variant IDs from ViewState
prodVariantIDList = this.SelectedVariantDetailIDs;
foreach (RepeaterItem ri in Repeater1.Items)
{
GridView gvProduct = (GridView)ri.FindControl("gvProduct");
foreach (GridViewRow gr in gvProduct.Rows)
{
CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)gr.FindControl("cbCheckRow");
//Prevent gvFinalised to store duplicate products
if (cb.Checked && !prodVariantIDList.Any(i => i == gvProduct.DataKeys[gr.RowIndex].Value.ToString()))
{
// add the corresponding DataKey to idList
prodVariantIDList.Add(gvProduct.DataKeys[gr.RowIndex].Value.ToString());
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < prodVariantIDList.Count; i++)
{
prodVariantDetail.Add(packBLL.getProdVariantDetailByID(prodVariantIDList[i]));
}
// get the content of tempDistSPUI from ViewState
itemList = this.tempDistSPUI;
// add all elements of itemList to prodVariantDetail
prodVariantDetail.AddRange(itemList);
gvFinalised.DataSource = prodVariantDetail;
gvFinalised.DataBind();
// save prodVariantIDList to ViewState
this.SelectedVariantDetailIDs = prodVariantIDList;
}

calendar column c# in datagridview

Basically I want to show a calendar when I edit some columns in my Datagridview.
Following How to: Host Controls in Windows Forms DataGridView Cells from MSDN I can add wanted kind of column at building.
But in my case, I have to use a datasource provided by an Excel reader which give headings have to be connected to date type columns.
private DataGridView AddCalendars(DataGridView dtgv)
{
dtgv.DataSource = controller.getEmptyDataTable(); // DataTable provided by excel reader
var l = dtgv.Columns.Count;
string[] dateColumns = {"date_received", "date_of_birth"};
for (var i = 0; i < l; ++i)
{
if ( dateColumns.Any( dtgv.Columns[i].HeaderText.Contains )
{
dtgv.Columns[i] = new CalendarColumn(); // this line does not work cause by readonly
}
}
return dtgv;
}
How can I apply Calendar Column control to selected columns ?
Or, how can I obtain same result by building Datagridview different way ?

bind many dropdownlist in a continous fashion

Hi all i need to bind a list of dropdown to values in database.Each drop down will be inside a panel and i have named it as ddlxx1,ddlxx2,ddlxx3 in a continuous fashion. all these drop down list will have the same data source.Is there any way to bind these control in a loop or should i find control each time which is in panel then bind it?
Something like:
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
ddlxx+"i".DataSource = Prod.GetValues();
ddlxx+"i".DataTextField = "ComponentID";
ddlxx+"i".DataValueField = "ComponentName";
ddlxx+"i".DataBind();
}
Please help

If your drop down lists are added to the mark-up you can simply do the following:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!this.IsPostBack)
{
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
var ddl = FindControl("ddlxx" + i) as DropDownList;
if (ddl != null)
{
BindDropDown(ddl);
}
}
}
}
private void BindDropDown(DropDownDataList ddl)
{
ddl.DataSource = Prod.GetValues();
ddl.DataTextField = "ComponentID";
ddl.DataValueField = "ComponentName";
ddl.DataBind();
}

Try this:
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
DropDownList drp = (DropDownList)panel1.FindControl("ddlxx" + i.ToString());//panel1 is your panel which contain dropdown ddlxx1,ddlxx2,ddlxx3...
drp.DataSource = Prod.GetComponents();
drp.DataTextField = "ComponentID";
drp.DataValueField = "ComponentName";
drp.DataBind();
}

Tag Array c# winforms

The code below lets me show emails received in a listview on when the selected index is changed displays the body of the selected email in a RTB. The problem is i changed the code to work with a data grid view and now the Tag part wont work
void SomeFunc() // This line added by Jon
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < bundle.MessageCount; i++)
{
email = bundle.GetEmail(i);
ListViewItem itmp = new ListViewItem(email.From);
ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem itms1 =
new ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem(itmp, email.Subject);
ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem itms2 =
new ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem(itmp, email.FromName);
itmp.SubItems.Add(itms1);
itmp.SubItems.Add(itms2);
listView1.Items.Add(itmp).Tag = i;
richTextBox1.Text = email.Body;
}
// Save the email to an XML file
bundle.SaveXml("email.xml");
}
private void listView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (listView1.SelectedCells.Count > 0)
{
// bundle is now accessible in your event handler:
richTextBox1.Text = bundle.GetEmail((int)listView1.SelectedCells[0].Tag).Body;
}
}
Code for data grid view
int i;
for (i = 0; i < bundle.MessageCount; i++)
{
email = bundle.GetEmail(i);
string[] row = new string[] { email.From, email.Subject, email.FromName };
object[] rows = new object[] { row };
foreach (string[] rowArray in rows)
{
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(rowArray);
}
} // This line added by Jon

i have created earlier the code for datagrid view but you already done it so i haven't posted in your last question but i think , you should give a try to the below code.
// i am creating a new object here but , you can have a single object on the form
DataGridView dgv = new DataGridView();
private DataTable EmailSource { get; set; }
dgv.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
dgv.SelectionChanged+=new EventHandler(dgv_SelectionChanged);
Chilkat.MessageSet msgSet = imap.Search("ALL", true);
if (msgSet != null)
{
bundle = imap.FetchBundle(msgSet);
CreateDataTable();
if (bundle != null && dt!=null)
{
Chilkat.Email email;
int i;
for (i = 0; i < bundle.MessageCount; i++)
{
email = bundle.GetEmail(i);
if(email!=null)
{
DataRow drow = EmailSource.NewRow();
drow["Id"] = i.ToString();
drow["From"] = email.FromName;
drow["Subject"] = email.Subject;
drow["DateRecived"] = email.DateRecived;
// i am adding email body also
drow["Body"] =email.Body;
EmailSource.Rows.Add(drow);
}
}
// Save the email to an XML file
bundle.SaveXml("email.xml");
dgv.DataSource= EmailSource;
// Hiding Body from the grid
dgv.Columns["Body"].Visible =false;
}
}
// this event handler will show the last selected email.
void dgv_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataGridViewSelectedRowCollection rows = dgv.SelectedRows;
if (rows != null)
{
// get the last selected row
DataRow drow = rows[rows.Count - 1].DataBoundItem as DataRow;
if (drow != null)
{
richTextBox1.Text = drow["Body"];
}
}
}
private void CreateDataTable()
{
EmailSource = new DataTable();
EmailSource.Columns.Add("Id");
EmailSource.Columns.Add("From");
EmailSource.Columns.Add("Subject");
EmailSource.Columns.Add("DateRecived");
EmailSource.Columns.Add("Body");
}

You are adding rows using listView1.Rows.Add(rowArray) in both the code listings. Is that a typo or you named the GridView like that.
Basically, you are storing the index of the email in the "Tag" property.
listView1.Items.Add(itmp).Tag = i;
You need to make sure that you do the same while adding items to the GridView too.

The DataGridView does not have an "Items" collection. To make it work, you need to bind the DataGridView to a collection of objects. Something like this should get you started:
List<Email> emails = new List<Email>();
for (i = 0; i < bundle.MessageCount; i++)
{
email = bundle.GetEmail(i);
emails.Add(email);
}
dataGridView.ItemsSource = emails;
You should not need to store the row index for each item in a "Tag" object - you can can get the selected index like this:
int selectedIndex = dataGridView.SelectedCells[0].RowIndex;
