how to get data from a gridview - c#

I display customers past orders in a gridview. They can press the Resend button in the last column to resend their order under the condition that the order is paid or past that status.
First the gridview:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BackColor="White" pagesize="10"
BorderColor="#999999" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" EmptyDataText="You have no orders yet"
GridLines="Vertical" OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#DCDCDC"/>
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="TD_OrdID" HeaderText="Ord" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="TD_OrdID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="TD_OrdDate" DataFormatString="{0:d}" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" HeaderText="Date" SortExpression="TD_OrdDate" ><ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right"></ItemStyle></asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="TD_PD_PackageName" HeaderText="Package Name" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" SortExpression="TD_PD_PackageName" > </asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="TD_OSName" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" HeaderText="Status" SortExpression="TD_OSName" > <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right"></ItemStyle></asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="TD_InvID" HeaderText="Inv" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="TD_InvID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="TD_InvPaid" HeaderText="Paid" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" SortExpression="TD_InvPaid" ><ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right"></ItemStyle></asp:BoundField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnResend" CommandName="Resend" Text="Resend" CommandArgument="<% ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex
%>" OnDataBinding="btnResend_DataBinding" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<FooterStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" ForeColor="Black" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#000084" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#999999" ForeColor="Black" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#EEEEEE" ForeColor="Black" Font-Size="Small" HorizontalAlign="Center"/>
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#008A8C" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#F1F1F1" />
<SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#0000A9" />
<SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#CAC9C9" />
<SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#000065" />
</asp:GridView>
now the databinding to select the resend button when customer paid the order:
protected void btnResend_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// only set button to enable when customer can resend document!
Button btn = (Button)(sender);
// enable button for status emailed, paid and closed
btn.Enabled = ((Eval("TD_OSName").ToString().Equals("closed")) ||
(Eval("TD_OSName").ToString().Equals("paid")) ||
(Eval("TD_OSName").ToString().Equals("emailed")));
}
which works fine. I am disabling the button. Maybe a better solution is to hide it instead. However this is not my concern.
now the row command to get the "ordId" value from the row where the button is pressed:
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Resend")
{
// Retrieve the row index stored in the
// CommandArgument Property
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
// Retrieve the row that contains the button
// from Rows collection.
GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[index];
// add code
int ordId = Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells[0].Text);
lblMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
//lblMessage.Text = displayMessages.YourDocumentResent() + "OrdID:" + ordId;
//lblMessage.Text = displayMessages.YourDocumentResent();
lblMessage.Text = Convert.ToString(e.CommandArgument);
}
}
However to get the selected row and reading out the order identification from the row is challenging for me. I goggled this over and over and can’t see where I make the mistake.
The line:
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument)
fails with
Input string was not in a correct format
If found this even on the msdn page of Microsoft?!
If I display the e.commandArgument I see: <% ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>
Can anyone help so I can get the value OrdId from TD_OrdID from the row the customer has pressed the Resend button?
Thank you in advance.

<% ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>
You're missing the #.
Try:
<%# ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>

C# GridView get textbox input

I have a problem that is most likely easy but I'm missing something small.
I have looked at numerous entries on Stack Overflow with the same question but I must be doing something wrong.
I am trying to get the value of a textbox in a GridView after typing into it. I want to take that value and update a SQL field.

Here is my gridview _RowUpdating method:
protected void ASPxGridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("row updating");
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.RowIndex);
Debug.WriteLine("Index: " + index);
GridViewRow selectedRow = ASPxGridView1.Rows[index];
TableCell itemIDSelected = selectedRow.Cells[1];
TableCell rowPRD = selectedRow.Cells[11];
TableCell rowShipToday = selectedRow.Cells[12];
TableCell rowNotes = selectedRow.Cells[13];
string itemIdSelectedText = itemIDSelected.Text;
string rowPRDSelected = rowPRD.Text;
string rowShipTodaySelected = rowShipToday.Text;
string test = ((TextBox)selectedRow.FindControl("NOTES")).Text;
string test1 = ((TextBox)ASPxGridView1.Rows[index].FindControl("NOTES")).Text;
TextBox test2 = ASPxGridView1.Rows[index].FindControl("NOTES") as TextBox;
string test2text = test2.Text;
//string rowNotesSelected = rowNotes.Text;
//Debug.WriteLine(itemIdSelectedText);
//Debug.WriteLine(itemIdSelectedText);
//Debug.WriteLine(rowPRDSelected);
//Debug.WriteLine(rowShipTodaySelected);
Debug.WriteLine(test1);
Debug.WriteLine(test);
Debug.WriteLine(test2text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[0].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[1].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[2].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[3].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[4].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[5].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[6].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[7].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[8].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[9].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[10].Text);
Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[11].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[12].Text);
//Debug.WriteLine(selectedRow.Cells[13].Text);
Debug.WriteLine("-----------");
//Debug.WriteLine(rowShipTodaySelected);
//Debug.WriteLine(rowNotesSelected);
}
When I run this and I type something in, the debug writeline's show.
I know i'm on the correct line because the index is correct per the line I am clicking the Update button on.
Sample debug output from above looks like this:
row updating
Index: 5
D31948P01
PRD-00030521
PRD-00030521
I cannot seem to get the value of the NOTES TextBox field.
As you can see with my testing I've tried using a FindControl and I've tried having it as a TextBox and also trying to get it directly to a string.
I've set breakpoints and each time I do it the test variable is null.
I'm missing something and I do not know what.
To summarize:
On non-text fields I can pull the data from the field.
On TextBox fields I cannot even using the FindControl method.
What I want to do:
Get the TextBox field value in the GridView so I can update the database.
StackOverflow links I've tried before asking this question:
c# Get value (text) of a bound textbox in a gridview
How to get value of TextBox of GridView in C#?

Thanks in advance. I've spent over 6 hours of attempting this without results. I don't understand it well enough yet. If there are any tutorials or videos explaining GridView's please let me know what they are so I can understand better.
The reason why RowUpdating method cannot find the text inside the textbox is most likely because of the postback. Clicking update button causes a post back to server. Before ASPxGridView1_RowUpdating is called, there is an a call to re-build the gridview ie.: ASPxGridView1.DataBind(). To avoid this, wrap the databind in an if (!Page.IsPostBack)
Below is a basic working example
<asp:GridView ID="ASPxGridView1"
runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
OnRowUpdating="ASPxGridView1_RowUpdating">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="NOTES" >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="NOTES" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" HeaderText="" CommandName="Update" Text="Update" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Code behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
// This code will not be reached if you click update button.
var data = new string[] { "a", "b", "c" };
ASPxGridView1.DataSource = data;
ASPxGridView1.DataBind();
}
}
protected void ASPxGridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.RowIndex);
GridViewRow selectedRow = ASPxGridView1.Rows[index];
TextBox txtNotes = (TextBox)selectedRow.FindControl("NOTES");
Debug.WriteLine(txtNotes.Text);
}

Can't get value from gridview button field

I am facing difficulties when trying to get values from a cell in a gridview. Whenever I ask for the value it goes to NullExcaption, so I asked if the row itself is null, and it is. Here is the ASP code:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceFlats" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:EflatsConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [Rent], [Address], [FlatId] FROM [Flat_Main]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" onrowcommand="GridView1_RowCommand" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" DataKeyNames="FlatId" DataSourceID="SqlDataSourceFlats" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" Width="100%" >
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="FlatId" HeaderText="FlatId" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="FlatId" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Rent" HeaderText="Rent" SortExpression="Rent" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Address" HeaderText="Address" SortExpression="Address">
<ControlStyle Width="60%" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:ButtonField Text="Add" CommandName="Apply" ButtonType="Button" />
<asp:ButtonField Text="Remove" ButtonType="Button" />
</Columns>
<EditRowStyle BackColor="#7C6F57" />
<FooterStyle BackColor="#1C5E55" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#1C5E55" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#666666" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#E3EAEB" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#C5BBAF" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
<SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#F8FAFA" />
<SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#246B61" />
<SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#D4DFE1" />
<SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#15524A" />
</asp:GridView>
And the button code:
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Apply")
{
// string c = GridView1.Rows[e.NewEditIndex].Cells[2].Text;
// Response.Write(GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[2].Text);
if (GridView1.SelectedRow == null)
{
Response.Write("Gridview is failing me :(");
}
// string celltext = this.GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[2].Text;
// Response.Write(celltext);
}
}
Basically I want to click the button and get the FlatId value from the selected row.
The OnRowCommand event seems to have few mistakes.
1.) GridView1.SelectedRow::
you haven't actually selected any row, therefore this will always be null
2.) GridView1.Rows[e.NewEditIndex]::
Again, you are NOT editing any row, so what do you expect the value will be for e.NewEditIndex ?
How to Handle ButtonField events in the GridView control
Set the button's CommandName property to a string that identifies its function, such as "Select" , "Edit" etc...
To determine the index of the record, the RowIndex, use the CommandArgument property of the event argument that is passed to the command event for the data-bound control. The ButtonField class automatically populates the CommandArgument property with the appropriate row-index value.
Below is an example for selecting a record and Handling the OnRowCommand event:
Markup:
<columns>
<asp:buttonfield buttontype="Button" commandname="Select"
headertext="Select This Record" text="Select"/>
</columns>
and the OnRowCommand event:
void GridView1_RowCommand(Object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if(e.CommandName=="Select")
{
// Convert the row index stored in the CommandArgument
// property to an Integer.
int _rowIndex = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
GridViewRow selectedRow = CustomersGridView.Rows[_rowIndex];
string cellText = selectedRow.Cells[2].Text;
}
}

At the back end code, i tried to retrieve the first column and specific rows but it throw me empty. the code below is how i retrieve.
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.RowIndex);
string sapNo1 = GridView1.Rows[index].Cells[0].Text;
string partNo = GridView1.Rows[index].Cells[1].Text;
string partDesc = GridView1.Rows[index].Cells[3].Text;
I try to show all the value for sapNo1, it throw me blank but for partNo it will show the data in the gridview.
anyone has any idea about this?
I am really appreciate your help and comment!
As your first column is a linkbutton so retrieve that as it is then find the value.
string sapNo1 = GridView1.Rows[index].Cells[0].Text; // wrong code to retrieve data from linkbutton in a gridview
Modify this as :
LinkButton linkbtn =(LinkButton)GridView1.Rows[index].FindControl("LinkButton1");
string sapNo1 = linkbtn.Text;
or
string sapNo1 =(GridView1.Rows[index].FindControl("LinkButton1") as LinkButton).Text;
You can't get the controls properties present inside TemplateField like that, you need to find the control like this:-
LinkButton LinkButton1 = (LinkButton)GridView1.Rows[index].Cells[0]
.FindControl("LinkButton1");
After this you can simply fetch the properties of this control:-
string sapNo1 = LinkButton1.Text;
you can get the link button description by the below code
protected void Link_Button_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
try
{
LinkButton button = (LinkButton)sender;
string name = button.ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
lbl_message.Text = ex.Message;
}
}

Problems getting the control from GridViewRow

I have a gridview which is created on a button click. It has some checkboxes so the user can adjust the CRUD access rights for certain pages and then save all rows.
I have another button to save the rows where I loop through, getting the rowID and the access rights to save.
I am having a problem when saving, it can't find the control in the row and when it gets to ID= I get a object referenced exception. If I do the checkbox assignments first, I get the error on the C= part.
protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow r in gvRights.Rows)
{
if (r.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
int ID;
ID = Convert.ToUInt16(r.Cells[0].ToString());
bool C, R, U, D;
CheckBox chkC = r.FindControl("chkC") as CheckBox;
C = chkC.Checked;
CheckBox chkR = r.FindControl("chkR") as CheckBox;
R = chkR.Checked;
CheckBox chkU = r.FindControl("chkU") as CheckBox;
U = chkU.Checked;
CheckBox chkD = r.FindControl("chkD") as CheckBox;
D = chkD.Checked;
}
}
}

</asp:GridView>
If you are adding your checkboxes programmatically you need to add them back in on each page load in the pageinit (before page_load). This way the controls are added on each postback and will get their values filled from the viewstate.
An easier way is to actually add the Checkboxes in your template field in the definition
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="chkC" />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="chkC" />
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
