As you can see in the 1st column there is a button along with a textbox.
When you click the button, a popup window appears in which there is something like "search-in-the-database" mechanism.
So, when a value is selected in the popup window's gridview, I want to transfer it to the corresponding text box.
How do I transfer the value into the corresponding textbox? As a beginner, I am dealing a great difficulty into that part. Any help will be appreciated

asp.net GridView dynamic line creation with dropmenu as Textbox entry

I have found a dynamic gridview code that creates lines and saves the one you filled last.
In my code i want to parse the droplist selected value text instead of actually writing in the textbox.
I have managed to parse the selectedvalue text in a textbox and for one line everything goes fine, but when i try to create a second line the selected value becomes the same for both lines.
(example: lets say i have a ddl menu with the values "a,b" if i choose the a value first the textbox will be filled ok "a" value, but if i choose b for the second line it will be both "b".
I will be needing 9 textboxes but i have made a simple version of the code containing only 1 textbox for the sake of space.

So as you'd imagine i tried going
box1.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString();
I tried with view state, but generally i failed.
Thanks for any of the answers guys!

ASPX Page
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="true">
</asp:DropDownList>
Code Behind
protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SetPreviousData();
if (ViewState["CurrentTable"] != null)
{
DataTable dt = (DataTable)ViewState["CurrentTable"];
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
TextBox box1 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[(dt.Rows.Count - 1)].Cells[1].FindControl("TextBox1");
box1.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedValue;
}
}
}
Another Approach you can try is you can directly place dropdownlist in gridview instead of textbox.

Add new row in gridview while button onclick

This is my program that page load the gridview and retrieve the database record to textbox and i put a add new button wish to add new row exactly like that row but the textbox is empty.
I wanted to create a new row in GridView while click add new button while my TextBox is retrieve data from database. I try to run the code but it is nothing happen when i click the button. Hope someone may help. Thanks.

Following tutorial details the exact same scenario. Please refer to it.
Adding Dynamic Rows to Gridview on Button Click
private void AddNewRowToGrid()
{
int rowIndex = 0;
if (ViewState["CurrentTable"] != null)
{
DataTable dtCurrentTable = (DataTable)ViewState["CurrentTable"];
DataRow drCurrentRow = null;
if (dtCurrentTable.Rows.Count > 0)
{
for (int i = 1; i <= dtCurrentTable.Rows.Count; i++)
{
//extract the TextBox values
TextBox box1 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[1].FindControl("TextBox1");
TextBox box2 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[2].FindControl("TextBox2");
TextBox box3 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[3].FindControl("TextBox3");
//Instead of all the textboxes, use the button as you require.
drCurrentRow = dtCurrentTable.NewRow();
drCurrentRow["RowNumber"] = i + 1;
dtCurrentTable.Rows[i - 1]["Column1"] = box1.Text;
dtCurrentTable.Rows[i - 1]["Column2"] = box2.Text;
dtCurrentTable.Rows[i - 1]["Column3"] = box3.Text;
rowIndex++;
}
dtCurrentTable.Rows.Add(drCurrentRow);
ViewState["CurrentTable"] = dtCurrentTable;
Gridview1.DataSource = dtCurrentTable;
Gridview1.DataBind();
}
}
else
{
Response.Write("ViewState is null");
}
//Set Previous Data on Postbacks
SetPreviousData();
}
And then the SetPreviousData() Function:
private void SetPreviousData()
{
int rowIndex = 0;
if (ViewState["CurrentTable"] != null)
{
DataTable dt = (DataTable)ViewState["CurrentTable"];
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
TextBox box1 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[1].FindControl("TextBox1");
TextBox box2 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[2].FindControl("TextBox2");
TextBox box3 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[3].FindControl("TextBox3");
box1.Text = dt.Rows[i]["Column1"].ToString();
box2.Text = dt.Rows[i]["Column2"].ToString();
box3.Text = dt.Rows[i]["Column3"].ToString();
rowIndex++;
}
}
}
}
Then inside your Click Event:
protected void ButtonAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
AddNewRowToGrid();
}

From your Load grid method you should retrieve the data as a data table and bind to grid. And save in in session. Like this:
private void Loadgrid()
{
var dt = new DataTable();
using (var conn = new SqlConnection (ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringName"].ToString()))
{
var command = new SqlCommand();
command.Connection = conn;
command.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [dbo].[T1]";
command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
using (var adaptor = new SqlDataAdapter(command))
{
if (conn.State == ConnectionState.Closed) conn.Open();
adaptor.Fill(dt);
if (conn.State == ConnectionState.Open) conn.Close();
}
}
Session["ss"] = dt;
grid2.DataSource = dt;
grid2.DataBind();
}
private void AddNewRowToGrid()
{
DataTable dt = (DataTable) Session["ss"];
DataRow dr = null;
DataRow newBlankRow1 = dt.NewRow();
dt.Rows.Add(newBlankRow1);
grid2.DataSource = dt;
grid2.DataBind();
Session["ss"] = dt;
}
After add an empty row also you need to bind data to grid again.

Preserve textbox values inside a gridview on button click

I have an editable GridView, which has a AddRow button, on click of which an empty row consisting of text boxes is added.
Whenever I insert values inside these textboxes, and click AddRow or Delete button, the text boxes loose their values.
I am sure, this doesn't happen due to postback, because there's a Save button too, on the click of which the values are normally preserved.
Below is the markup:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" ShowFooter="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
OnRowDeleting="GridView1_RowDeleting">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Col1">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txt1"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Col2">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txt2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Col3">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txt3" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnAddNewRow" runat="server" Text="AddRow" OnClick="Add" />
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:CommandField ButtonType="Button" ShowDeleteButton="true" />

Where am I going wrong?
Experts please help.

The problem is that you haven't used Eval in your markup
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txt1" Text='<%# Eval("Column1") %>'></asp:TextBox>
Optimized code-behind. No need of ViewState
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
var table = CreateDataTable();
table.Rows.Add("", "", "");
BindGridView(table);
}
}
//Sets the first empty row to the grid view
private DataTable CreateDataTable()
{
var dt = new DataTable
{
Columns = { "Column1", "Column2", "Column3" }
};
return dt;
}
private void BindGridView(DataTable table)
{
GridView1.DataSource = table;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
private DataTable PopulateTableFromGridView()
{
var table = CreateDataTable();
for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
{
//extract the TextBox values
TextBox box1 = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[i].FindControl("txt1");
TextBox box2 = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[i].FindControl("txt2");
TextBox box3 = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[i].FindControl("txt3");
table.Rows.Add(box1.Text, box2.Text, box3.Text);
}
return table;
}
//Adds a new empty row to the grid view
protected void Add(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var newTable = PopulateTableFromGridView();
newTable.Rows.Add("", "", "");
BindGridView(newTable);
}
//Called on Delete Button click, which is inside a CommanField
protected void GridView1_RowDeleting(object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
{
var dt = PopulateTableFromGridView();
dt.Rows[e.RowIndex].Delete();
if (dt.Rows.Count == 0)
{
dt.Rows.Add("", "", "");
}
BindGridView(dt);
}

Text box is the child control inside in gridview row so you can iterate above code for each grid view row.

Could you please isolate the data source?
This will clarify your mind and the question. As soon you have a Service/Repository to query the data source you can take advantage of linq and do something simple like:
var sum = datasource.Sum(p=>p.AmountPaid);
