ASP.NET WebForms Nested Repeater With LINQ Group Data Source

I have a LINQ grouping that I'd like to use to populate parent and child repeater controls.
<asp:Repeater ID="Parent" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="Parent_ItemDataBound">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Eval("Key") %>
<asp:Repeater ID="Child" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Eval("Id") %>
<%# Eval("Name") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
public class Dog
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Breed { get; set; }
}
private IEnumerable<IGrouping<string, Dog>> GetDogs()
{
var dogs = new List<Dog>
{
new Dog
{
Id = 1,
Name = "Rex",
Breed = "Poodle",
},
new Dog
{
Id = 2,
Name = "Fido",
Breed = "Terrier",
},
new Dog
{
Id = 3,
Name = "Killer",
Breed = "Pit Bull",
}
};
return dogs.GroupBy(_ => _.Breed);
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Parent.DataSource = GetDogs();
Parent.DataBind();
}
protected void Parent_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
var item = e.Item;
if ((item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
{
var repeater = (Repeater)item.FindControl("Child");
// I'm stuck on this code...
//repeater.DataSource = what to do?
//repeater.DataBind();
}
}
I'm trying to set the child repeater's data source in the Parent_ItemDataBound event. How do I do this? item.DataItem is type object and I can't figure out how to obtain the list of dogs that's inside the data item.

Expanding on Joshua's correct answer. If the 4.5 runtime is available to you, you can declare the types on the repeater itself so you will not have to bind the ItemDataBound event.
<ul>
<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="Parent" ItemType="IGrouping<String, Dog>">
<ItemTemplate>
<li><%# Item.Key %><ul>
<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="Child" ItemType="Dog" DataSource="<%#Item%>">
<ItemTemplate>
<li><%# Item.Id %></li>
<li><%# Item.Name %></li>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</ul></li>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</ul>

You can get the data from e.Item.DataItem. You should be able to cast this to IGrouping. Then you can get the inner repeater by looking for the control in the current repeaters repeateritem. Then bind the data from DataItem to the nested repeater.
This code below should work.
All this assumes you don't wrap the nested repeater in other controls.
protected void Parent_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
var item = e.Item.DataItem as IGrouping<string, Dog>;
if (item == null)
return;
if ((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
{
var repeater = e.Item.FindControl("Child") as Repeater;
if (repeater != null)
{
repeater.DataSource = item;
repeater.DataBind();
}
}
}

ASP.NET GridView custom paging final page issue

I'm trying to implement custom paging on a GridView but getting odd behaviour when the last page is being displayed. I thought it might be becuase I had implemented it manually by extending the 4.0 GridView control, but I've now tried using the 4.5 features as per http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/99bb20/custom-paging-with-gridview-control-in-Asp-Net-4-5/ but it is displaying exactly the same behaviour.
Basically if the item count of the last page is less than the PageSize then whenever the grid posts back it fills up with empty rows, as seen below:
Page markup:
<asp:GridView ID="gvTest" runat="server" PageSize="10" AllowPaging="true" AllowCustomPaging="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnRowCommand="gvTest_RowCommand" OnPageIndexChanging="gvTest_PageIndexChanging">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ItemText" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnTest" runat="server" Text="Test postback" CommandName="TEST" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Code-behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (!IsPostBack) {
BindData();
}
}
private void BindData() {
List<TestItem> items = new List<TestItem>() {
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item1" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item2" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item3" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item4" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item5" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item6" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item7" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item8" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item9" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item10" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item11" },
new TestItem() { ItemText = "Item12" }
};
gvTest.DataSource = items.Skip(gvTest.PageIndex * gvTest.PageSize).Take(gvTest.PageSize).ToList();
gvTest.VirtualItemCount = items.Count;
gvTest.DataBind();
}
protected void gvTest_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e) {
gvTest.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
BindData();
}
All works as expected, but clicking on a linkbutton on the 2nd (last) page results in the following:
Before postback:
After postback:
Is this a known GridView issue? Not sure what I'm doing wrong....

Hahaha, just noticed this is a relatively old question. Hopefully it helps someone though!
Is it something related to your OnRowCommand? I took out the OnRowCommand since I don't know what you are doing in that block. Otherwise the code works fine
I ran the following code:
aspx page:
<asp:GridView ID="gvTest" runat="server" PageSize="10" AllowPaging="true" AllowCustomPaging="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnPageIndexChanging="gvTest_PageIndexChanging">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ItemText" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnTest" runat="server" Text="Test postback" CommandName="TEST" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Code behind with mock class:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindData();
}
}
private void BindData()
{
List<TestItem> items = new List<TestItem>()
{
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item1"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item2"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item3"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item4"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item5"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item6"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item7"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item8"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item9"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item10"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item11"},
new TestItem() {ItemText = "Item12"}
};
gvTest.DataSource = items.Skip(gvTest.PageIndex * gvTest.PageSize).Take(gvTest.PageSize).ToList();
gvTest.VirtualItemCount = items.Count;
gvTest.DataBind();
}
protected void gvTest_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
gvTest.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
BindData();
}
}
public class TestItem
{
public string ItemText { get; set; }
}
Which resulted in:
Page 1:
Page 2:

I used this way to avoid this problem
but this is not a good way...
private int gvDataCount
{
get
{
object count = ViewState["gvDataCount"];
if (count == null)
count = gvTest.PageSize;
return Convert.ToInt32(count);
}
set
{
ViewState["gvDataCount"] = value;
}
}
private void BindData()
{
//....
var list = items.Skip(gvTest.PageIndex * gvTest.PageSize).Take(gvTest.PageSize).ToList();
this.gvDataCount = list.Count;
gvTest.DataSource = list;
gvTest.VirtualItemCount = items.Count;
gvTest.DataBind();
}
protected void gvTest_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType != DataControlRowType.DataRow)
return;
if (e.Row.RowIndex > this.gvDataCount)
e.Row.Visible = false;
}

Get Updated Value of a UserControl TextBox within a ListView

I have a page SendResults.aspx that holds a button and a ListView with ItemTemplate set to a user control (3 labels and 2 textboxes) that gets it's data from a matching object.
On Page_Load I fill the List with data (this works well).
When the button is clicked I want to take the user input in the user-control's textboxes and do something with it.
However I always get the initial value and not the updated one.
Here is the code:
The user-control "MatchControl.ascx"
<%# Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="MatchControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="TotoMondeal.Controls.MatchControl" %>
<div>
<asp:Image ID="Team1FlagImage" runat="server" />
<asp:Label ID="Team1Label" runat="server" Width="150px"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="Team1TextBox" runat="server" MaxLength="2" TextMode="Number" Width="50px" AutoPostBack="true" OnTextChanged="Team1TextBox_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Label ID="Colon" runat="server" Font-Size="XX-Large" Text=":"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="Team2TextBox" runat="server" MaxLength="2" TextMode="Number" Width="50px"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Label ID="Team2Label" runat="server" Width="150px"></asp:Label>
<asp:Image ID="Team2FlagImage" runat="server" />
</div>
The user-control code-behind:
public partial class MatchControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
public Match Match
{
get
{
object obj = ViewState["Match"];
return (obj == null) ? new Match() : (Match)obj;
}
set
{
ViewState["Match"] = value;
}
}
public string Team1Score
{
get { return Team1TextBox.Text; }
set { Team1TextBox.Text = value; }
}
public string Team2Score
{
get { return Team2TextBox.Text; }
set { Team2TextBox.Text = value; }
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Team1Label.Text = Match.Team1Name;
Team2Label.Text = Match.Team2Name;
Team1TextBox.Text = Match.Team1Score.ToString();
Team2TextBox.Text = Match.Team2Score.ToString();
Team1TextBox.Enabled = Match.EnableTextBox;
Team2TextBox.Enabled = Match.EnableTextBox;
Team1FlagImage.ImageUrl = #"~/FlagImages/" +Match.Team1Name + ".png";
Team2FlagImage.ImageUrl = #"~/FlagImages/" + Match.Team2Name + ".png";
}
protected void Team1TextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox textBox = sender as TextBox;
if (textBox != null)
{
try
{
Match updatedMatch = new Match()
{
MatchId = Match.MatchId,
MatchDate = Match.MatchDate,
Result = Match.Result,
Team1Name = Match.Team1Name,
Team1Score = Convert.ToInt32(textBox.Text),
Team2Name = Match.Team2Name,
Team2Score = Match.Team2Score,
EnableTextBox = Match.EnableTextBox
};
Match = updatedMatch;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
}
The SendResults.aspx:
<%# Page Title="שלח תוצאות" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="SendResults.aspx.cs" Inherits="TotoMondeal.SendResults" %>
<%# Register TagPrefix="TOTO" TagName="MatchControl" Src="~/Controls/MatchControl.ascx" %>
<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<h2><%: Title %>.</h2>
<div class="jumbotron">
<asp:ListView ID="TodayMatchesList" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<TOTO:MatchControl ID="MatchControl" Match="<%# Container.DataItem %>" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" />
</div>
</asp:Content>
the SendResults code-behind:
public partial class SendResults : Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<Match> matches = new List<Match>();
matches = Queries.GetTodayMatches(DateTime.Now);
foreach (Match match in matches)
{
match.EnableTextBox = true;
}
this.TodayMatchesList.DataSource = matches;
this.TodayMatchesList.DataBind();
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 0; i < TodayMatchesList.Items.Count; i++)
{
MatchControl match = (MatchControl)TodayMatchesList.Items[i].FindControl("MatchControl");
TextBox textBox = (TextBox)match.FindControl("Team1TextBox");
string txt = textBox.Text;
}
}
}
The problem is that in this line:
TextBox textBox = (TextBox)match.FindControl("Team1TextBox");
string txt = textBox.Text;
I always get the initial value from the database, and not the user updated input.
Please help I'm new at this.

Your List is getting overwritten every time you post back. Add this in Page_Load for SendResults
if ( !Page.IsPostBack )
{
List<Match> matches = new List<Match>();
matches = Queries.GetTodayMatches(DateTime.Now);
...etc...
}
In addition to checking IsPostBack you need to handle saving your control properties in the ViewState. As suggested here: User control (ascx) and properties
Example from post:
public string Title {
get { return Convert.ToString(ViewState["Title"]); }
set { ViewState["Title"] = value; }
}
You would do this in your control class.

Insert <p> tags with C#?

This is sort of a weird question, but is there a way to insert <p> tags around some imported text? I have a list of blog entries, each of which comes from its own source (I think it's a copy-paste job into Sitecore). All entries have an "Introduction" which is the blurb about the article. Some of these has <p> tags enclosing them and others do not (I'm not sure why and I can't change the source material--I can only have control on how it looks when it comes into the blog listing page) I'm thinking there should be a check to see if they do exist first, although I am not sure how that could be done.
This is the front end for the blog listing:
<asp:GridView ID="EntryList" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="EntryDataBound" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="3" AutoGenerateColumns="false" EnablePersistedSelection="true" DataKeyNames="EntryID" OnPageIndexChanging="grdTrades_PageIndexChanging" GridLines="None" PagerSettings-Position="TopAndBottom" CssClass="mGrid" pagerstyle-cssclass="pagination" rowstyle-cssclass="norm" alternatingrowstyle-cssclass="altColor" width="100%">

<ItemTemplate>

</div>
</div>

You can always do something like...
dr["Introduction"] = BlogEntry.Fields["Introduction"].Value
.Replace("\n\n", "</p><p>");
... or whichever escape characters are being used to denote separation of paragraphs in your source data. Alternatively, you could use Regex utilities. See Example 3 in this article for further reference.

Firstly in your GridView you've got
OnItemDataBound="EntryDataBound"
OnItemDataBound isn't an event of GridView I'm a little surprised that works!
Use
OnRowDataBound="EntryList_RowDataBound"
This is my common pattern for GridView's and Repeaters, noticed I've used a Literal control in the HTML, I'm not a mega fan of Eval! Also note that if (dataItem == null) just if there's a data item for that row, RowTypes like header and footer don't have any data, it's easier than the typical if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header) etc
<asp:GridView ID="EntryList" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="EntryList_RowDataBound" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="3" AutoGenerateColumns="false" EnablePersistedSelection="true" DataKeyNames="EntryID" OnPageIndexChanging="grdTrades_PageIndexChanging" GridLines="None" PagerSettings-Position="TopAndBottom" CssClass="mGrid" PagerStyle-CssClass="pagination" RowStyle-CssClass="norm" AlternatingRowStyle-CssClass="altColor" Width="100%">

.cs file
protected void EntryList_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
var dataItem = e.Row.DataItem as EntryItem;
if (dataItem == null)
return;
var imageControl = e.Row.FindControl("EntryImage") as global::Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls.Image;
var introductionControl = e.Row.FindControl("IntroductionLiteral") as Literal;
if (imageControl == null || introduction == null)
return;
imageControl.MaxWidth = m_imageMaxSize.Width;
imageControl.MaxHeight = m_imageMaxSize.Height;
if (dataItem.ThumbnailImage.MediaItem == null)
imageControl.Field = "Image";
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(data["introduction"]))
introductionControl.Text = string.Format("<p>{0}</p>", data["introduction"].ToString().Replace("\n\r", "</p><p>"));
}
Also if you've got a list of Sitecore objects why don't you just bind that to the GridView, then in your RowDataBound method get the item back
var dataItem = e.Row.DataItem as Item;
and then do the logic in the BindEntries method in there, would prob be cleaner code and you wouldn't have to use stupid DataSets! Just an idea.

How to transfer item from one datalist to other datalist?

I have a datalist
<asp:DataList ID="dlstImage" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatColumns="5"
CellSpacing="8">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="Image" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%#"~/Controls/ShowImage.ashx?FileName=" +DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FilePath") %>'
OnCommand="Select_Command" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("Id").ToString() +";"+Eval("FilePath")+";"+Eval("Index") %>' /><br />
<asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server" Text="Figure"></asp:Label><%# dlstImage.Items.Count + 1%>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
In which i am binding the image after uploading through uplodify upload, now i have one more datalist
and two btn up and down,
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnMoveUp" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/App_Themes/Default/Images/moveup.bmp"
Style="height: 16px" ToolTip="MoveUp The Item" />
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnMoveDown" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/App_Themes/Default/Images/movedown.bmp"
ToolTip="MoveDown The Item" />
<asp:DataList ID="dlstSelectedImages" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal"
RepeatColumns="5" CellSpacing="8">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="Image" runat="server" /><br />
<asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server" Text="Figure"></asp:Label><%# dlstImage.Items.Count + 1%>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
My both datalist is in the same webuser control, datalist1 and datalist2 and I have 2 btn up and down, when i select one image from datalist1 and click on down btn then the selected image should move to datalist2. How to do that? someone please help me,

You need to handle the ItemCommand event of one DataList in which you have to copy the selected data (image) into another dataSource of two DataList and remove that item from the datasource of one DataList.
Markup:
<asp:DataList

I am using this code and its working well for me.
ArrayList ImgArry = new ArrayList();
path = objGetBaseCase.GetImages(TotImgIds);
ImgArry.Add(SelImgId);
ImgArry.Add(SelImgpath);//image name
ImgArry.Add(SelImgName);//image path
//path.Remove(ImgArry);
List<ArrayList> t = new List<ArrayList>();
if (newpath.Count > 0)
t = newpath;
t.Add(ImgArry);
newpath = t;
for (int i = 0; i < newpath.Count; i++)
{
ArrayList alst = newpath[i];
newtb.Rows.Add(Convert.ToInt32(alst[0]), alst[1].ToString(), alst[2].ToString(), i);
}
dlstSelectedImages.DataSource = newtb;
DataBind();
path = objGetBaseCase.GetImages(TotImgIds);
for (int i = 0; i < path.Count; i++)
{
ArrayList alst = path[i];
tb.Rows.Add(Convert.ToInt32(alst[0]), alst[1].ToString(), alst[2].ToString(), i);
}
dlstImage.DataSource = tb;
DataBind();
