Update column value while binding in gridview - c#

I'd like to update the values of column Action based on the value of the column Status which is Boolean. If Status is True then value in Action must update to Deactivate. When I run, the Action field doesn't updates. I think there is an error in codebehind.
Here is the codebehind:
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
string value = e.Row.Cells[4].Text;
TextBox TextBox2 = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("TextBox2");
if (value == "True")
{
TextBox2.Text = "Take";
}
else if (value == "False")
{
TextBox2.Text = "Available";
}
}
}
Here is the code:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
AllowSorting="True"
onselectedindexchanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ShopNumber" HeaderText="ShopNumber" ItemStyle-Width="80" SortExpression="ShopNumber" >
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ShopName" HeaderText="ShopName" ItemStyle-Width="80" SortExpression="ShopName" >
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Address" HeaderText="Address" ItemStyle-Width="80"SortExpression="Address" >
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Website" HeaderText="Website" ItemStyle-Width="80" SortExpression="Website" >
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status" SortExpression="Status">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Status") %>'> </asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Status") %>'> </asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="80px" />
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Action" SortExpression="Action">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Action") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Action") %>'> </asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

You have a couple issues. First, you are trying to update the "Status" column by setting the text of TextBox2. In your question, you wanted to update the "Action" column.
Your second issue is that you are trying to update the TextBox in the EditItemTemplate of the column. On first run of the GridView, this template will not be shown. It will only be shown when the GridView is put into edit mode. What this means is that TextBox2 shouldn't even be found.
What you need to do is first use the the correct column, whichever that may be. If that truly is the "Action" column, first try setting the Label1 text value. If your GridView is in edit mode, set the TextBox1 text value instead.
You also have two EditItemTemplate in your "Action" column. You probably don't want that and that may be causing an error.

Multiple DropDown list in GridView in C# and Asp.net like city,state,country

I want to develop 3 dropdownlists city, state, country. When I select the country then it should only show states which are in selected country same for city & state
ASP.NET CODE:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="Id" DataSourceID="manager" OnRowEditing="GridView1_RowEditing">
<Columns>
<asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" ShowSelectButton="True" />

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ma_country") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ma_pincode" HeaderText="ma_pincode" SortExpression="ma_pincode" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Ma_phone_no" HeaderText="Ma_phone_no" SortExpression="Ma_phone_no" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
and i also use below code in every event like (This is auto generate in visualstudio 2017 ):
DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
I use two type of code to get gridview reference by:
GridView gridView = (GridView)((((Control)sender).Page.Items[GridView1]));
GridViewRow gridViewRow = gridView.SelectedRow;
DropDownList dpl5 = (DropDownList)gridViewRow.FindControl("ddl_state");
DropDownList dpl6 = (DropDownList)gridViewRow.FindControl("ddl_city");
code:-
GridViewRow gridViewRow = GridView1.SelectedRow;
DropDownList dpl5 = (DropDownList)gridViewRow.FindControl("ddl_state");
DropDownList dpl6 = (DropDownList)gridViewRow.FindControl("ddl_city");
This both give me null as return.

How to fill data in some of GridViewRow and leave some blank

ASP.net C#
I am creating a gridview having 5 rows containing detail of operations users have to perform. Detail of operations should be filled when it is completed. At a time any number of operation details can be filled.
In gridview, first Item-template contains Label (for operation name) and others are textbox (for other details).
If any user has filled 3 rows then rest of two rows should be blank.
My problem is how to bind those 3 rows filled previously leaving two bottom rows available for entry.
My Gridview design is :
<asp:GridView CssClass="table-bordered gridStyle" runat="server" ShowFooter="True"
ID="grdOperationEntry" GridLines="None" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Operation">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("operation_title") %>' ID="lblOperationName" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Date of Completion">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("date_completed") %>' CssClass="form-control"
ID="txtDateCompletion" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Time Taken">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("time_taken") %>' ID="txtTimeTaken" CssClass="form-control" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Score">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("score_gain") %>' ID="txtScore" CssClass="form-control" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Reported To">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("reported_to") %>' ID="txtReportedTo"
CssClass="form-control" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
<EditRowStyle BackColor="#7C6F57" />
</asp:GridView>
Add a Label with all TextBoxes in GridView and set them visible false and bind also Label from database. I have added an example TemplateField to below, you can do it for all other:
.....
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Date of Completion">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" Visible="False" Text='<%# Eval("date_completed")
ID="lblDateCompletion" %>'></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" Visible="False" Text='<%# Eval("date_completed") %>'
ID="txtDateCompletion" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
.....
In RowDataBound event set them visible true:
protected void grdOperationEntry_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
// check if gridview row not a header or footer
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// get controls by id from gridview and cast them
Label lblDateCompletion = e.Row.FindControl("lblDateCompletion") as Label;
TextBox txtDateCompletion = e.Row.FindControl("txtDateCompletion") as TextBox;
if (lblDateCompletion.Text == null)
txtDateCompletion.Visible = true;
else
lblDateCompletion.Visible = true;
// perform same for other controls
}
}
Note: Don't forget to add OnRowDataBound property to your GridView <asp:GridView ID="grdOperationEntry" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="grdOperationEntry_RowDataBound" >

Databinding issue with Eval/Bind - C# Webforms asp.net

I'm working on an existing project, doing some updates and have troubles setting the value of "FenSelectedValue" in the "FenDropDownListRoles" Control.
I keep getting the error:
Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control in repeater control
But the eval in the Label control works fine. I've been reading here and there, and I read things about it not being bound at the right time so I moved the control from "EditItemTemplate" where it eventually should be to "ItemTemplate", to test it, but still no luck..
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblRolOmschrijving" Text='<%# Eval("Rol_omschrijving") %>' runat="server" />
<fen:FenDropDownListRoles ID="ddlRoles" FenSelectedValue='<%# Eval("Rol_omschrijving") %>' runat="server" Watermark="AdministratorType" Required="true" ValidationGroup="grpAddUser" />
</ItemTemplate>
Here's how I've learned to set drop down selected items in a grid view.
Example grid:
<div id="gridContainerFormulations">
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
//This is done here, instead of codebehind, because the SelectedValue property of the drop down list
//simply does not work when databinding. I set the two 'hid' values via the RowEditing event
$("[id$='drpLotNumber']").val($("#hidSelectedFormulationLotNo").val());
});
</script>
<asp:hiddenfield runat="server" id="hidSelectedFormulationLotNo" value="-1" />
<asp:gridview id="dgrStudyFormulations" cssclass="data" runat="server" allowpaging="False" autogeneratecolumns="False"
datakeynames="Id, FormulationLotNo, FormulationNo">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Formulation" ReadOnly="True" DataField="FormulationName" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Lot #">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:dropdownlist ID="drpLotNumber" AddBlank="False" runat="server" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblLotNumber" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FormulationLot.Name")%>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="AI in Formulation" ReadOnly="True" DataField="ActiveIngredientName" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="AI Of Interest">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkOfInterest" Checked='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OfInterest")%>' runat="server" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<%--<asp:Label ID="lblOfInterest" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OfInterest")%>' />--%>
<asp:image runat="server" id="imgOfInterest" Visible="False" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="AI Amount" ReadOnly="True" DataField="AIAmountText" />
<asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" ShowCancelButton="True" ShowDeleteButton="True"/>
</Columns>
</asp:gridview>
Then in row_editing event of grid:
SelectedFormulationLotNo = CType(dgrStudyFormulations.DataKeys(e.NewEditIndex)("FormulationLotNo"), String)
Which sets the hidden field in the HTML
Property SelectedFormulationLotNo() As String
Get
Return hidSelectedFormulationLotNo.Value.Trim()
End Get
Set(value As String)
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(value) Then
hidSelectedFormulationLotNo.Value = String.Empty
Else
hidSelectedFormulationLotNo.Value = value.Trim()
End If
End Set
End Property
And then the jQuery function call sets the correct option in the newly editable row in the grid.
How I finally did it(but leaving the answer on Rake36's answer, since it probably works too and got me in the direction I needed) Since I couldn't get the Javascript to work for some reason and I knew from messing around that I could get the value of labels in "RowDataBound" I combined the method of Rake36 with the hidden field and set the value in the codebehind (in RowDataBound)
In the codebehind:
protected void gvwUsers_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
DropDownList DropDownListRol = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddlRolOmschrijving");
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow && DropDownListRol != null)
{
DsFenVlaanderen.tb_rolDataTable dtRole = DsFenVlaanderen.RolTableAdapter.GetData();
//Fill Dropdownlist
DropDownListRol.DataSource = dtRole;
DropDownListRol.DataValueField = dtRole.Rol_IDColumn.ColumnName;
DropDownListRol.DataTextField = dtRole.Rol_omschrijvingColumn.ColumnName;
DropDownListRol.DataBind();
//Set Selected value
DropDownListRol.Items.FindByValue(hidSelectedRole.Value).Selected = true;
}
}
protected void gvwUsers_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{
//Set hiddenfield to value of Rol_ID
hidSelectedRole.Value = gvwUsers.DataKeys[e.NewEditIndex].Values["Rol_ID"].ToString();
}
This is my grid:
<asp:hiddenfield runat="server" id="hidSelectedRole" value="-1" />
<fen:FenGridViewSelectable ID="gvwUsers" runat="server" Selectable="False"

FindControl in gridview returns null

I am currently in a dilemma with my gridview not returning a label, which is within a detailsview...
My C# code is:
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// get pet number for when removing a pet from reservation
int numberSelected = -1;
String numbertxt = "-1";
GridView gv1 = (GridView)sender;
GridViewRow rvRow = gv1.Rows[gv1.SelectedRow.RowIndex];
Label numberLbl = (Label)rvRow.Cells[0].FindControl("lblNumber");
// find selected index, and get number in column 0
// label within GridView1 within dvReservation DetailsView
numbertxt = numberLbl.Text;
...
Gridview:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataSourceID="dsObjGet"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField InsertVisible="False" ShowHeader="False">
<AlternatingItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblNumber" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("NUMBER") %>' Visible="False"></asp:Label>
</AlternatingItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblNumber" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("NUMBER") %>' Visible="False"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField ShowHeader="False">
<AlternatingItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("NAME") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</AlternatingItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("NAME") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:CommandField SelectText="Remove" ShowSelectButton="True"
CausesValidation="False">
<ControlStyle CssClass="link" />
</asp:CommandField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
When I breakpoint
Label numberLbl = (Label)rvRow.Cells[0].FindControl("lblNumber");
the label comes out as null (numberLbl)...
The message returned from the exception is:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
EDIT:
This seems to be resolved if I generate lblNumber in an external gridview (on the page) with Eval("NUMBER"), though I don't see why it doesn't work in the current GridView I was trying to work with, given that GridView1 is within a DetailsView.
You should not use the Cell Collection when using FindControl. Just use this
GridView gv1 = (GridView)sender;
GridViewRow rvRow = gv1.SelectedRow;
Label numberLbl = (Label)rvRow.FindControl("lblNumber");

How to add Controlls on runtime to a Gridview?

First of all the ASPcode, the problemdescription below.
<asp:GridView ID="GridViewContacts" runat="server" ForeColor="#333333" DataKeyNames="L_ID_CONTACT" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
OnPageIndexChanging="GridViewContacts_PageIndexChanging" PageSize="25" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnRowCommand="GV_Contacts_RowCommand" >
<FooterStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" ForeColor="#333333" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Edit">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButtonEdit" runat="server" CommandArgument="Edit" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit">Edit</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="View">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButtonView" runat="server" CommandArgument="View" CommandName="View" Text="View">View</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="L_Name" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("L_Name") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Companydetails">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="L_Companydetails" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("L_Companydetails") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="EMail">
<ItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField Visible="False" HeaderText="ID_CONTACT" >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Visible="false" ID="L_ID_CONTACT" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("L_ID_CONTACT") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<%-- //Stylesettings here--%>
</asp:GridView>
Okay, then in the CodeBehind I have a Select from my database, where i select the ID_Contact, the Name, the Companydetails, which can be 1 per Row only.
On the RowCreated event I get the UserID of the actual User, and I select all E-Mails the user has, can be 0-10 per row.
Now my problem is:
How can i insert Linkbuttons with the onClick-event in the description into this part of my code?
Like this:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="EMail">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton[i] runat="server" onClick="SendEmail">
</asp:Linkbutton[i]>
<asp:LinkButton[i] runat="server" onClick="SendEmail">
</asp:Linkbutton[i]>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
So i want to add those controlls with code into THIS TemplateField.
Is this possible ?
Thoughts i allready had:
This.GridViewContacs.Controlls.AddAt(index,Linkbutton)
But also no clue here how it should work.
Thanks in advance,
me
Easiest is to add a placeholder control to the ItemTemplate, as ItemTemplate has no ID.
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="emails" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
and then in RowDataBound event
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
PlaceHolder emails = e.Row.FindControl("emails") as PlaceHolder;
if (emails != null)
{
LinkButton lbEmail = new LinkButton();
lbEmail.Text = "your text";
lbEmail.Click += new EventHandler(SendEmail);
emails.Controls.Add(lbEmail);
}
}
Of course, the example is simplified. You can easily extend it to your needs.
