I have a gridview to which I dynamically bind data to.
It features SELECT and EDIT commands.
When it is in EDIT mode all the fields turn into textboxes that can be edited.
What I would like to do is add an Ajax Calendar Extender to one of the textboxes.
How can I create a TemplateField just for the one field?
Is it even possible? I know how to do it if I bound all fields and assign the data via a SqlDataSource.
I have tried adding the templatefield to my gridview but the data is just not showing up:
<asp:GridView ID="gvCheckResults" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="gvCheckResults_RowDataBound"
OnRowEditing="gvCheckResults_RowEditing" OnRowUpdating="gvCheckResults_RowUpdating" OnRowCancelingEdit="gvCheckResults_RowCancelingEdit"
OnRowDeleting="gvCheckResults_RowDeleting">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="DateOfTest" SortExpression="DateOfTest">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DateOfTest") %>'></asp:TextBox>
<ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender ID="test" runat="server"
TargetControlID="TextBox1"
CssClass="calendar"
Format="dd/MM/yyyy">
</ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DateOfTest") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
How the data gets bound:
protected void TestDataBind()
{
string Name = txtCheckName.Text;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Name))
Name = null;
gvCheckResults.DataSource = dataContext.GetRecords(Name);
gvCheckResults.DataBind();
}

Greetings fellow developers. I am new to ASP.NET C# so pardon me if there are areas that I missed out/
Current in my project, I have this Gridview - where I used "TemplateField" for almost every data field. My issue is, I do not know how can I pass the value in to another page. I tried using SESSION but unfortunately, it is not working. I also tried using BOUNDFIELD, it works but it does not fulfil my project requirement as the default setting for BOUNDFIELD is textbox, I want it to be a DROPDOWN LIST control instead. Any kind advice would be much appreciated. Attached below is my codes.

protected void PassData(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridViewRow gr = ((sender as LinkButton).NamingContainer as GridViewRow);
Session["Category"] = gr.Cells[1].Text.Trim();
Response.Redirect("AfterUserMthlyExpenses.aspx");
}

<asp:Label ID="lblPassCategory" runat="server" ></asp:Label>

Well, really one should hold off on the passing of the value to the next page until such time you have a working simple answer to select/get the given row that you clicked on right?
Be it a repeater, grid view, list view (details view) etc.?
In asp.net they ALL FOLLOW the same process. You want to have that button click set/move/change to the correct given row that you clicked on. Until you have that “movement” or selection of the row occur, then you will fail at attempting to grab values from that row.
So, looking at this, you have a link button (it could be a asp.net button if want – don’t matter), you need that button to trigger/set/move/cause the row you are working on to change FIRST and BEFORE you attempt to grab data/values from that given row.
The WAY you do this is to add a special command. As noted, this works for list view/grivdview/repeater and MANY more data bound controls.
so what you learn here can apply to just about ANY data aware control (that repeats data).
So, add this to the one link button in the item template:
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton3" runat="server"
CommandName = "MyJump"
CommandArgument = '<%# Eval("Category") %>'
>Select</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
So, the INSTANT you add CommandName="Select", then this will cause TWO events of the grid to fire.
OnRowComand:
The row command event will fire. But the row HAS NOT YET changed!
However, since we use CommandArgument and pass "Catagory", then we of course can use the rowcomamnd event, and pick up the CommandArgument value.
So, you can have this code in row command event:
Protected Sub GridView1_RowCommand(sender As Object, e As GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCommand
Debug.Print("row command = " & e.CommandName)
Debug.Print("row arg = " & e.CommandArgument)
If e.CommandName = "MySelect" Then
' do whatever
End If
End Sub
Note how we don't need (you can remove) the on-click event for that button - you use the rowcommand event stub, and pick up the custom command name you passed (MySelect).
You can ALSO trigger the selected row event to fire. This would allow you to use/keep/have your EXISTING code click stub for your button.
However you now MUST change the CommandName from "your custom" name to either;
Select (move the grid pointer)
Edit - trigger edit event
Delete - trigger delete event
However, in your button click (as you have now).
You could try this:
Dim btn As Button = sender
Dim gvRow As GridViewRow = btn.Parent.Parent
Debug.Print("btn row sel = " & gvRow.RowIndex)
Debug.Print("btn argument = " & btn.CommandArgument)
So you can try btn.Parent (that will be the grid cell, and parent again will return the ONE row as you have. From that, you can grab any value out of that row.
eg:
dim myLable as label
myLabel = gvRow.FindControl("Label1")
debug.print myLabel.Text (should return catagory).
Probably most easy to just add a CommandArgument, and pick it up from sender.
Now that you first and foremost verify that you have the correct value, then you can shove that value into session. in fact you can even shove in the whole gvRow into session, and thus pass all of the values of that row to the page you jump to.
I am having trouble retrieving the new value that is entered in a textbox template field in my GridView.
Here is my markup:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="username" SortExpression="username">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("username") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtUserName" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("username") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
And here is how I'm trying to retrieve the new value, inside the RowCommand event handler of my GridView:
string userName = ((TextBox)grdUserList.Rows[rowIndex].FindControl("txtUserName")).Text;
I get the old value instead of the newly typed value when I execute this code.
Does anyone know what I am missing? Thanks in advance.
I just found out the solution for my problem. I searched and found out that the GridView is being refreshed before the retrieving process begins because I was rebinding the GridView on the Page_Load method. I fixed the problem by not rebinding the gridview when it is a post back (or at least not before I have made the changes) using the IsPostback method. Thanks for everyone's reply :)
You are retrieving new value in wrong GridView event. You have to add OnRowUpdating="grdUserList_RowUpdating" event in your GridView control and then retrieve new TextBox value.
OnRowUpdating event in code-behind:
protected void grdUserList_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
string userName = ((TextBox)grdUserList.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("txtUserName")).Text;
// Write your update query and logic over here.
}
You can take a reference from here for additional knowledge.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
use this code in gridview
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="SrNo">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtsrno" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("SrNo") %>'>
</asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblsrno" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("SrNo") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
I have an example from this gridview:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView3" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ID">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("id") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle></ItemStyle>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("name") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("nome")%>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
And I would like to add a button for ordering the data in each column.
Somebody can help me find the best way to do this?
Sorting is built into the GridView control. There is a control Property called AllowSorting, set this to True and you can sort columns by clicking on the header row titles.
There is no need to add extra buttons, even if you want to do some type of special sorting, you'd still Handle the Sorting event and implement your own methods
I need some help again.
I have a GridView with CheckBoxes in first column. If a user checks multiple CheckBoxes and clicks a button I need to display selected rows in edit mode. How do I do that? Any tips?
Some sample code, how I imagine it.
Here is my Gridview MyGV:
<asp:GridView ID="MyGV" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ID">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="ChkBox" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Column1">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="tbColumn1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("column1") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="labColumn1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("column1") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Column2">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="tbColumn2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("column2") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="labColumn2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("column2") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:Button ID="btnEdit" runat="server" Text="EDIT" OnClick="btnEdit_Click" />
In code behind I bind that GridView to display data from SQL table (no problem there). Now I need it to enter selected rows into edit mode (ONLY selected rows) when I click the EDIT button.
protected void btnEdit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow row in MyGV.Rows)
{
CheckBox checkbox = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("ChkBox");
if (checkbox.Checked)
{
// ENTER EDIT MODE - Help needed here!! :)
}
}
BindGridView();
}
In a GridView only one row can be in true edit mode at the same time. See question below for a possible workaround:
Put multiple rows of a gridview into edit mode
I want to get the value of a hidden field in a grid view from code-behind, but not to be used in the _RowDataBound or any other similar method. Here is my present code (it is a shopping cart scenario):
<asp:GridView ID="gvShoppingCart"
runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
AllowPaging="True"
DataKeyNames="ID"
ShowFooter="true">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HiddenField ID="lblProductID" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ProductID") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Product">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("ProductID", "product_details.aspx?id={0}") %>'
Text='<%# GetProduct(Eval("ProductID")) %>'></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Quantity">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtQuantity" runat="server" Width="35" CssClass="input" onkeypress="return isNumberKey(event)" AutoPostBack="true" ontextchanged="txtQuantity_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
For the sake of brevity I removed certain fields since they are there only for the display. The Quantity field is there for the user to input a number to add a number of products to his cart. I wish to access the lblProductID label in the _TextChanged event. In this same event, I tried
Label lblProductID = (Label)gvShoppingCart.FindControl("lblProductID");
but it didn't work and returns only a null value. What is the solution?
For each row in your GridView there is a HiddenField for the ProductID.
You can access the HiddenField of a row (in the example below the first row) by using the following code (assuming your HiddenField is in the first cell):
HiddenField hiddenFieldProductID =
(HiddenField)gvShoppingCart.Rows[0].Cells[0].FindControl("lblProductID");
string productID = hiddenFieldProductID.Value
// Do something with the value
Hope, this helps.
Try to replace the HiddenField to a label or a textbox and set the visible attribute to false.
I had tried this before and it works.
