Edit GridView using BoundField Column in ASP.Net

I am using GridView for Showing Some Data with Editable Format. But When I am Editing the GridView row I don't get the Value of editable Textbox. Again I get the old Value.Please any one give some Suggestion.
Thanks in Advance...
Aspx Code:
<asp:GridView ID="grdAppSetting" AutoGenerateEditButton="true" AutoGenerateDeleteButton="true" HeaderStyle-BackColor="#1abc9c" HeaderStyle-ForeColor="White" CssClass="t-transform m-t-30" HeaderStyle-BorderWidth="5px"
runat="server" OnRowCancelingEdit="grdAppSetting_RowCancelingEdit1" OnRowDeleting="grdAppSetting_RowDeleting" OnRowUpdating="grdAppSetting_RowUpdating"
OnRowEditing="grdAppSetting_RowEditing" AutoGenerateColumns="false" BorderColor="#1abc9c">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Key Name" HeaderText="Key Name" ReadOnly="true" ItemStyle-CssClass="p-l-10" ItemStyle-Width="100" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Value" HeaderText="Value" ItemStyle-Height="40px" ItemStyle-Width="50%" ItemStyle-CssClass="p-l-10" ControlStyle-CssClass="form-control" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
C# Code:
protected void grdAppSetting_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
string Value = ((grdAppSetting.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Controls[0]) as TextBox).Text;
string KeyName = grdAppSetting.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[1].Text;
if (appSettingsSection != null)
{
appSettingsSection.Settings[KeyName].Value = Value;
configuration.Save();
}
grdAppSetting.EditIndex = -1;
BindAppSettingGrid();
}
Problem occurred in the following line,
string Value = ((grdAppSetting.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Controls[0]) as TextBox).Text;
Is this is correct to get the editable textbox value???

How to Populate Textbox after GridView row clicked in C#

I have a GridView:
<asp:GridView ID="gridSearchResults" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataKeyNames="uid" runat="server"
AllowSorting="true" AutoGenerateSelectButton="true" CssClass="table table-striped table-bordered"
OnRowDataBound="gridSearchResults_RowDataBound"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="gridSearchResults_UserSelected">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="uid" HeaderText="UID" SortExpression="uid" ItemStyle-Width="30%"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="givenName" HeaderText="First Name" SortExpression="givenName" ItemStyle-Width="35%" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="sn" HeaderText="Last Name" SortExpression="sn" ItemStyle-Width="35%" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
With `AutoGenerateSelectButton="true" a "select" button appears in every row. I can click on this and fire:
`protected void gridSearchResults_UserSelected(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Get the user's ID from the selected row
idNumber.Text = gridSearchResults.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text;
firstName.Text = gridSearchResults.SelectedRow.Cells[2].Text;
lastName.Text = gridSearchResults.SelectedRow.Cells[3].Text;
}
which works. However, I would like to remove the "select" button and be able to press anywhere in the row to populate the TextBoxes.
This is the code for gridSearchResults_RowDataBound, which should handle the row click:
protected void gridSearchResults_RowDataBound(object objSender, GridViewRowEventArgs gridViewRowEventArgs) {
if (gridViewRowEventArgs.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) {
// Setup click handler and cursor
//gridViewRowEventArgs.Row.Attributes["onclick"] = DONT KNOW WHAT TO ADD HERE
gridViewRowEventArgs.Row.Attributes["style"] = "cursor:pointer";
// Implement row mouseover and mouseout
gridViewRowEventArgs.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalStyle=this.style.backgroundColor; this.style.backgroundColor='#B3E5FC';");
gridViewRowEventArgs.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor=this.originalStyle;");
}
}
I have seen something like e.Row.Attributes["onclick"] = Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackClientHyperlink(grdSearchResults, "Select$" + e.Row.RowIndex); but I'm not sure how to mix the two.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The answer can be found here; https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Selecting-GridView-Row-by-clicking-anywhere-on-the-Row.aspx
For my solution I needed to modify a couple of things. In gridSearchResults_RowDataBound I need to add:
gridViewRowEventArgs.Row.Attributes["onclick"] = Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackClientHyperlink(gridSearchResults, "Select$" + gridViewRowEventArgs.Row.RowIndex);
In gridSearchResults_UserSelected I needed to update the Cell indices.

C# asp.net Gridview navigate to url in gridview row

I'm currently working on an in house project, I've created a GridView connected to a SQL table which looks like this:
GridView1
I created the view content buttons using the following code:
<Columns>
<asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" Text="View Content" CommandName="Select" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ContentID" HeaderText="ContentID" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="ContentID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Code" HeaderText="Code" SortExpression="Code" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" SortExpression="Description" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="URL" HeaderText="URL" Visible="true" SortExpression="URL" />
</Columns>
But this is where I am now stuck. I would like to click on the view content button and have it navigate to the URL on the selected row.
The URL comes from the SQL Table and there is a string so I'd imagine, it would need to be converted first but I could be wrong.
I started to put my code in the following:
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridViewCommandEventArgs x = (GridViewCommandEventArgs)e;
if (x.CommandName == "Select")
{
GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
}
}

Add your code in GridView1_RowCommand event of gridview:
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Select")
{
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)(((BoundField)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);
int index = row.RowIndex;
string url = (GridView1.Rows[index].FindControl("URL") as BoundField).Text;
Response.Redirect(url); // url can be from your sql table
}
}
Note: Don't forget to add OnRowCommand event in GrindView <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand" >

GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)(((BoundField)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);
int index = row.RowIndex;
string url = (GridView1.Rows[index].FindControl("URL") as BoundField).Text;
Response.Redirect(url); // url can be from your sql table
So i made the change. Unfortunately, BoundField does not contain a definition for NamingContainer.
Also, GridView1.Rows[index].FindControl("URL") as BoundField fails due to the following error, cannot convert type 'system.web.ui.control' to 'system.web.ui.webcontrols.boundfield' via a reference conversion, boxing conversion, unboxing conversion or null type conversion.

Add email url to gridview row, and open email window on double click

I have a GridView that has a column that contains emails. I want the user to be able to double click the row and an email link is activated to open an outlook window for an email. I've got the double click part down, but I'm no sure how to get the email from the row to create the url. I'll paste the code I do have below.
<asp:GridView ID="gvAllDOL" runat="server" Visible="False" PageSize="25" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnDataBound="gvAllDOL_DataBound" DataSourceID="odsDOAll" OnRowDataBound="gvAllDOL_RowDataBound" DataKeyNames="sintDistrictOfficeID" OnRowCommand="gvAllDOL_RowCommand" OnSelectedIndexChanged="gvAllDOL_SelectedIndexChanged">
<Columns>
<asp:ButtonField Text="DoubleClick" CommandName="DoubleClick" Visible="false" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblid" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("sintDistrictOfficeID") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="sintDistrictOfficeID" HeaderText="id" SortExpression="sintDistrictOfficeID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="vcharDOLOfficeName" HeaderText="DOL Office Name" SortExpression="vcharDOLOfficeName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="vcharDOLCity" HeaderText="City" SortExpression="vcharDOLCity" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="vcharDOLState" HeaderText="State" SortExpression="vcharDOLState" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="intBatchCount" HeaderText="Number Batches" SortExpression="intBatchCount" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="intCaseCount" HeaderText="Number Cases" SortExpression="intCaseCount" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="intExamCount" HeaderText="Number Examiners" SortExpression="intExamCount" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
protected void gvCE_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onMouseOver", "Highlight(this)");
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onMouseOut", "UnHighlight(this)");
// Get the LinkButton control in the second cell
LinkButton _doubleClickButton = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[0].Controls[0];
// Get the javascript which is assigned to this LinkButton
string _jsDouble =
ClientScript.GetPostBackClientHyperlink(_doubleClickButton, "");
// Add this JavaScript to the ondblclick Attribute of the row
e.Row.Attributes["ondblclick"] = _jsDouble;
}
}
protected void gvCE_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
string email = ((Label)gvCE.Rows[0].Cells[1].FindControl("lblEmail")).Text; (this doesn't work)
GridView _gridView = (GridView)sender;
string _commandName = e.CommandName;
switch (_commandName)
{
case ("DoubleClick"):
Response.Redirect("<a href=mailto:" + email + ">");
break;
}
}
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
foreach (GridViewRow r in gvAllDOL.Rows)
{
if (r.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation
(r.UniqueID + "$ctl00");
Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation
(r.UniqueID + "$ctl01");
}
}
foreach (GridViewRow r in gvCE.Rows)
{
if (r.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation
(r.UniqueID + "$ctl00");
Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation
(r.UniqueID + "$ctl01");
}
}
base.Render(writer);
}

Convert your email field into template one. Add the following code and then try playing with it:
<asp:HyperLink ID="EmailLink" runat="server" Text='Email' NavigateUrl=
"mailto:" + '<%# Eval("yourBoundEmailFieldNameHere") %>'
</asp:HyperLink>

I would use Manul's suggestion on adding the email address through an item template
<asp:HyperLink ID="EmailLink" runat="server" Text='Email' NavigateUrl=
"mailto:" + '<%# Eval("yourBoundEmailFieldNameHere") %>'
</asp:HyperLink>
This way you can access the email address and people can see who they will be emailing.
then add this script to the page
$("table tr").dblclick(function () {
var mailto_link = $('a', $(this)).attr('href');
window = window.open(mailto_link, 'emailWindow');
if (window && window.open && !window.closed)
window.close();
});
then remove the code that is adding javascript functions to each row in the grid, because it is no longer needed.
here is a jsfiddle link http://jsfiddle.net/gorrilla/jEX7Y/

You can use command argument to pass the email address, greatly simplifying the logic necessary to retrieve the address.
Change the Command button column to an TemplateField and add a asp:button inside. Then add the attribute CommandArgument to the button.
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="dblClick" runat="server" Text="dblClick"
CommandArgument="<%# ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>"
CommandName="dblClick" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Then in the code behind
protected void gvCE_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
string email = e.CommandArgument;

How do I edit data being bound to a datagrid?

In reference to Link loaded into my gridview try to navigate to my local server. The columns I have in the datagrid are Customer #, Description, Link.
I've got a function set up that's called on rowDataBound, but how do I retrieve what link is in the row so that I can edit it, and then rebind it to the datagrid?
protected void grdLinks_RowDataBound( object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e )
{
if ( e.Row.RowIndex == 2 )
{
}
}
And here is my gridview code
<asp:GridView ID="grdLinks" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="ldsCustomerLinks"
OnRowDataBound="grdLinks_RowDataBound" EmptyDataText="No data was returned."
DataKeyNames="ID" OnRowDeleted="grdLinks_RowDeleted" Width="80%" BackColor="White"
HorizontalAlign="Center" BorderColor="#999999" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px"
CellPadding="3" GridLines="Vertical">
<RowStyle BackColor="#EEEEEE" ForeColor="Black" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="CustomerNumber" HeaderText="Customer Number" SortExpression="CustomerNumber" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" SortExpression="Description" />
<asp:HyperLinkField DataTextField="Link" HeaderText="Link" SortExpression="Link" DataNavigateUrlFields="Link" Target="_blank" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:LinqDataSource ID="ldsCustomerLinks" runat="server" ContextTypeName="ComplianceDataContext"
TableName="CustomerLinks" EnableDelete="true">
</asp:LinqDataSource>

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to get the value of a data item called Link. If so, then something like this should work:
EDIT: I think what you're saying is that you want to grab the value Link from the database, manipulate it and then set the Url of the HyperLink to the new, manipulated value, if so then it would look like this:
ASPX Page (Updated to reflect posted code)
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="CustomerNumber" HeaderText="Customer Number" SortExpression="CustomerNumber" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" SortExpression="Description" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Link">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="hlParent" runat="server" Text='<% #(Eval("Link")) %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
I modified the ASP from your original question by adding an ID and removing the reference to the NavigateUrl attribute from the HyperLink control.
Code
protected void grdLinks_RowDataBound( object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e )
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
string link = DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Link") as string;
if (link != null && link.Length > 0)
{
// "FindControl" borrowed directly from DOK
HyperLink hlParent = (HyperLink)e.Row.FindControl("hlParent");
if (hlParent != null)
{
// Do some manipulation of the link value
string newLink = "https://" + link
// Set the Url of the HyperLink
hlParent.NavigateUrl = newLink;
}
}
}
}

RowDataBound is called for every row in the GridView, including headers, footers, etc. Therefore, you should start by examining only the rows containing data.
Once you're on a row, there are several ways to examine the cells. One is just to use the cell index (2 here). That seems simple in your situation, but will lead to frustration if you ever rearrange the columns.
Here's an example of that from MSDN:
void CustomersGridView_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// Display the company name in italics.
e.Row.Cells[1].Text = "<i>" + e.Row.Cells[1].Text + "</i>";
}
A better way is to use FindControl with the item's ID.
protected void gvBarcode_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
HyperLink hlParent = (HyperLink)e.Row.FindControl("hlParent");
}
}

You may also want to look into letting the gridview do it for you.
You can use the datanavigateurlformatstring property to insert querystring parameters if that's what you are trying to do.
