Cardview Columns using Devexpress

created a few seconds ago
Hi,
I am creating a web page in asp.net based on data from a database. This should result in a number of tab pages with card views on each tab with 5 columns and a maximum of 20 rows. The tab pages are working, the rows are working but the columns will not change from the default 3 columns.
I have tried setting the columnCount property at different stages, post and pre databinding. This getting frustrating.
I am having problems with setting a card views column count programmatically. I am setting it, have tried to set it in different places but it always goes to the default 3 columns :(
I am using C# in Visual studio 2017.
Here is the code I am using:
SqlDataSource sds = new SqlDataSource();
public string fName;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string fid = Request.QueryString["FID"];
sds.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DataBaseConnection"].ToString();
sds.SelectCommand = "select name from [flashboard] where flashboardid = " + fid;
DataView fDet = (DataView)sds.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
fName = fDet.Table.Rows[0]["name"].ToString();
TitleLink.InnerHtml = fName;
sds.SelectCommand = "SELECT flashboardtabid, name FROM [FlashboardTab] WHERE flashboardid = " + fid+" order by SeqNo";
DataView fTab = (DataView)sds.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
TabPage tabDet;
ASPxPageControl tpc = ASPxPageControl1;
ASPxCardView cardGrp;
CardViewTextColumn cName;
CardViewHyperLinkColumn cEvidence;
foreach (DataRow tab in fTab.Table.Rows)
{
tabDet = new TabPage();
tabDet.Text = tab["name"].ToString();
tabDet.Name = "Tab"+tab["flashboardtabid"].ToString();
tabDet.ActiveTabStyle.Width = Unit.Percentage( 80);
cardGrp = new ASPxCardView();
cardGrp.ID = "CardGroup" + tab["flashboardtabid"].ToString() ;
tabDet.Controls.Add(cardGrp);
tpc.TabPages.Add(tabDet);
cardGrp.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
ASPxCardViewPagerSettings cvps = new ASPxCardViewPagerSettings(cardGrp);
cardGrp.EnableTheming = true;
cardGrp.Theme = "SoftOrange";
cvps.Visible = false;
cvps.SettingsTableLayout.ColumnCount = 5;
cvps.SettingsTableLayout.RowsPerPage = 20;
cardGrp.DataSource = GetData("SELECT cardid, Description, EvidencePage, SmartViewid FROM [flashboardcard] WHERE flashboardtabid = "+tab["flashboardtabid"] + " order by SeqNo");
cardGrp.Attributes.Add("Width", "80%");
cardGrp.Attributes.Add("style", "margin:auto");
cName = new CardViewTextColumn();
cName.Name = "Description";
cName.FieldName = "Description";
cEvidence = new CardViewHyperLinkColumn();
cEvidence.Name = "EvidencePage";
cEvidence.FieldName = "EvidencePage";
cEvidence.PropertiesHyperLinkEdit.Text = "Evidence";
cardGrp.Columns.Add(cName);
cardGrp.Columns.Add(cEvidence);
var layoutitem1 = new CardViewColumnLayoutItem(); // cardGrp.CardLayoutProperties.FindColumnItem("EvidencePage");
layoutitem1.ColumnName = "EvidencePage";
layoutitem1.ShowCaption = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.False;
layoutitem1.HorizontalAlign = FormLayoutHorizontalAlign.Center;
var layoutitem2 = new CardViewColumnLayoutItem();
layoutitem2.ColumnName = "Description";
layoutitem2.ShowCaption = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.False;
layoutitem2.HorizontalAlign = FormLayoutHorizontalAlign.Center;
layoutitem2.ParentContainerStyle.Font.Bold = true;
layoutitem2.ParentContainerStyle.Font.Size = FontUnit.Medium;
cardGrp.CardLayoutProperties.Items.Add(layoutitem2);
cardGrp.CardLayoutProperties.Items.Add(layoutitem1);
cardGrp.DataBind();
}
}
DataView GetData(String queryString)
{
DataView ds = new DataView();
sds.SelectCommand = queryString;
ds = (DataView)sds.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
return ds;
}

To resolve this issue with ColumnCount, I recommend you define it directly in the control's SettingsPager.SettingsTableLayout.ColumnCount property instead of specifying it in a new ASPxCardViewPagerSettings instance:
cardGrp.SettingsPager.SettingsTableLayout.ColumnCount = 5;
cardGrp.SettingsPager.SettingsTableLayout.RowsPerPage = 20;

c# winforms change text of programmatically made tabpage

I made a language switch (English, Polski) and I wanted to if tabpage contains word "New " then change it to "Nowy " and vice-versa, but I have one problem. This tabPage is made programmatically and I don't know, how to change it's header's text. I made this:

But it doesn't work. When I click button for Polski, or for English it doesn't change anything. Help me, please.

Your all concept is wrong. You should use translation mechanism for such work.
Externalizing the translation of a WinForms application?

OK, ok. I realized I cam make another way to translate my program. I can make reading from file in search for text and applying it to these strings. Thread closed

Filling textboxes with strings

I have a windows form application that has a slew of textboxes that I fill using a bunch of strings. My question is...the code works fine but it seems like a lot of wasteful typing. Can you fill the textboxes from the strings in a loop functions? Matching up the textbox with the approriate string?
Here is what I have.
var client = new WebClient { Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password) };
var financials = client.DownloadString("https://api.intrinio.com/data_point?identifier="+conver+"&item=beta,marketcap,52_week_high,52_week_low,adj_close_price,short_interest,analyst_target_price,next_earnings_date,percent_change,yr_percent_change,implied_volatility, dividendyield,listing_exchange,sector,average_daily_volume");
var jss = client.DownloadString("https://api.intrinio.com/companies?identifier=" + conver + "");
JObject rss = JObject.Parse(jss);
JObject fin = JObject.Parse(financials);
string RRSTITLE = (string)rss["legal_name"];
string beta = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[0].value");
string marketcap = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[1].value");
string weekhigh = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[2].value");
string weeklow = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[3].value");
string adj_close = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[4].value");
string short_interest = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[5].value");
string analyst_target = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[6].value");
string earnings = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[7].value");
string percent_change = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[8].value");
string yr_percent_change = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[9].value");
string implied = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[10].value");
string divyield = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[11].value");
string exchange = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[12].value");
string sector = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[13].value");
string volume = (string)fin.SelectToken("data[14].value");
company_textbox.Text = RRSTITLE;
beta_box.Text = beta;
marketCap_box.Text = marketcap;
wekhighbox.Text = weekhigh;
weklowbox.Text = weeklow;
adjclosebox.Text = adj_close;
shortbox.Text = short_interest;
targetestbox.Text = analyst_target;
next_earnings.Text = earnings;
Close_box.Text = percent_change;
percentytd.Text = yr_percent_change;
implivolbox.Text = implied;
divyieldbox.Text = divyield;
exchangebox.Text = exchange;
sectorbox.Text = sector;
daily_Volume_text.Text = volume;

Like #Jacky said, the straight forward answer is no. But a really hacky way would be to create two Dictionaries. Something like this
Dictionary<string, TextBox> TextBoxLookup = new Dictionary<string, TextBox>();
Dictionary<string, string> ValueLookup = new Dictionary<string, string>();
TextBoxLookup["beta"] = beta_box;
TextBoxLookup["marketcap"] = marketCap_box;
TextBoxLookup["weekhigh"] = wekhighbox;
ValueLookup["beta"] = beta;
ValueLookup["marketcap"] = marketcap;
ValueLookup["weekhigh"] = weekhigh;
foreach(string key in TextBoxLookup.Keys)
{
TextBoxLookup[key].Text = ValueLookup[key];
}
You'll have to add each textbook and its value to their respective dictionaries with the same key and iterate through the assignment foreach block everytime you need to assign.
Does this help?

Get data from SQL datebase and return as string

Need help to get the 1st row record and return record as string in the << >> after while() loop.
There are a lot of columns in one row, I'm having a problem to declare it as string st? like usually string st = new string() please help to correct it
Thanks
public string Get_aodIdeal(string SubmittedBy)
{
String errMsg = "";
Guid? rguid = null;
int isOnContract = 0;
int isFreeMM = 0;
string _FileName;
DateTime InstallDateTime = DateTime.Now;
string FileDate = ToYYYYMMDD(DateTime.Now);
errMsg = "Unknown Error.";
SqlConnection conn = null; SqlCommand cmd = null;
string st = null;
conn = new SqlConnection(WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["iDeal"].ConnectionString);
cmd = new SqlCommand();
string SQL = "select TOP 1 * from table1 Order by SubmittedOn desc";
SqlDataAdapter sqd = new SqlDataAdapter(SQL, conn);
cmd.CommandTimeout = 1200;
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader sqr;
//sqd.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("#Submitted", SqlDbType.Int).Value = PostID;
sqr = sqd.SelectCommand.ExecuteReader();
while (sqr.Read())
st = new string{
rguid = cmd.Parameters["#rguid"].Value as Guid?,
ridno = int.Parse(sqr["ridno"].ToString()),
SubmittedOn= DateTime.Parse(sqr["SubmittedOn"].ToString()),
SubmittingHost = sqr["SubmittingHost"].ToString(),
ServiceAgreementNo = sqr["ServiceAgreementNo"].ToString(),
DocumentID = sqr["DocumentID"].ToString(),
Source = sqr["Source"].ToString(),
FileName = sqr["FileName"].ToString(),
FileType = sqr["FileType"].ToString(),
FileDate = DateTime.Parse(sqr["FileDate"].ToString()),
InstallTime = DateTime.Parse(sqr["InstallTime"].ToString()),
CalenderCode = cmd.Parameters["CalenderCode"].Value as Guid,
isFreeMM = bool.Parse(sqr["isFreeMM"].ToString()),
isOnContract = bool.Parse(sqr["isOnContract"].ToString()),
isProcessed = bool.Parse(sqr["isProcessed"].ToString()),
ProcessedByFullName = sqr["ProcessedByFullName"].ToString(),
isDelete = bool.Parse(sqr["isDelete"].ToString()),
version = int.Parse(sqr["Version"].ToString()),
LastUpdatedBy = DateTime.Parse(sqr["LastUpdatedBy"].ToString()),
LastUpdatedOn = DateTime.Parse(sqr["LastUpdatedOn"].ToString()),
shopGuid = sqr["shopGuid"].ToString(),
MacID = sqr["MacID"].ToString(),
MSISDN = sqr["MSISDN"].ToString()
}

You can use a StringBuilder for this purpose as like the following:
StringBuilder strBuilder= new StringBuilder();
while (sqr.Read())
{
strBuilder.AppendFormat("PostID : {0}{1}",sqr["PostID"].ToString(),Environment.NewLine);
strBuilder.AppendFormat("dateposted : {0}{1}",sqr["dateposted"].ToString(),Environment.NewLine);
// And so on Build your string
}
Finally the strBuilder.ToString() will give you the required string. But More smarter way is Create a Class with necessary properties and an Overrided .ToString method for display the output.
Let AodIdeal be a class with an overrided ToString() method. And Let me defined it like the following :
public class AodIdeal
{
public int PostID { get; set; }
public string dateposted { get; set; }
public string Source { get; set; }
// Rest of properties here
public override string ToString()
{
StringBuilder ObjectStringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
ObjectStringBuilder.AppendFormat("PostID : {0}{1}", PostID, Environment.NewLine);
ObjectStringBuilder.AppendFormat("dateposted : {0}{1}",dateposted, Environment.NewLine);
ObjectStringBuilder.AppendFormat("Source : {0}{1}", Source, Environment.NewLine);
// and so on
return ObjectStringBuilder.ToString();
}
}
Then you can create an object of the class(let it be objAodIdeal), and make use of its properties instead for the local variables. And finally objAodIdeal.ToString() will give you the required output.
Example usage
AodIdeal objAodIdeal= new AodIdeal();
while (sqr.Read())
{
objAodIdeal.PostID = int.Parse(sqr["PostID"].ToString());
objAodIdeal.dateposted= sqr["dateposted"].ToString();
// assign rest of properties
}
string requiredString= objAodIdeal.ToString();

How can i set up all the data's in the textbox

first of all there is a searchbox form and a view form. after passing the value of the id in the searchbox, it should return all the values that matches with the id of that person after the textchange method occured. but it doesn't display a single value on the textboxes. here is my code
public void first_tab_search(string key)
{
key = txtSearch.Text;
var first = from a in dbcon.personal_informations where a.last_name == key select a;
foreach (var setThem in first)
{
txtsurname.Text = setThem.last_name;
txtfirstname.Text = setThem.first_name;
txtmiddlename.Text = setThem.middle_name;
txtID.Text = setThem.userid;
txtweight.Text = setThem.weight;
txttin.Text = setThem.tin;
txtsss.Text = setThem.sss;
txtaeno.Text = setThem.agency_employee_no;
txtbloodtype.Text = setThem.blood_type;
txtcitizenship.Text = setThem.citizenship;
txtcivilstatus.Text = setThem.civil_status;
txtcpno.Text = setThem.cell_no;
txtdob.Text = setThem.datetime_of_birth.ToString();
txtemail.Text = setThem.email_address;
txtgender.Text = setThem.sex;
txtgsis.Text = setThem.gsis_id;
txtheight.Text = setThem.height;
txtnameext.Text = setThem.name_ext;
txtpagibig.Text = setThem.pagibig_id;
txtpermaaddr.Text = setThem.permanent_address;
txtpermatelno.Text = setThem.permanent_telno;
txtpermazip.Text = setThem.permanent_zipcode;
txtphilhealth.Text = setThem.philhealth;
txtpob.Text = setThem.place_of_birth;
txtresidentialaddr.Text = setThem.residential_address;
txtresitelno.Text = setThem.residential_telno;
txtresizip.Text = setThem.residential_zipcode;
txtweight.Text = setThem.weight;
}
}

You have a whole host of problems going on here.
You pass a key into the method, and then immediately overwrite it with the contents of your search box.
Your search could return more than one result, and therefore your code is looping through each result and overwriting the output values with the last returned row. Use += rather than + in your loop, i.e.
txtsurname.Text += setThem.last_name;
Your code is currently case sensitive, this may be the desired approach but might not be.
