I created with ASP.NET Dynamic Data Entities Web App and ADO.NET Entity Data Model an dynamic application to modify an sql table.
But how can i modify in gridView column width?? The columns are big but the data will be cut.
Table column width screenshot
In *.edmx file the MaxLength is set to 300.
<Property Name="foreign_data" Type="nvarchar" Nullable="false" MaxLength="300" />
The grid view in Lists.aspx looks like:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="GridDataSource" EnablePersistedSelection="true"
AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" CssClass="DDGridView"
RowStyle-CssClass="td" HeaderStyle-CssClass="th" CellPadding="6"
PageSize="15">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DynamicHyperLink runat="server" Action="Edit" Text="Bearbeiten"
/> <asp:LinkButton runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Löschen"
OnClientClick='return confirm("Sind Sie sicher das Sie diesen Datensatz löschen möchten?");'
/> <asp:DynamicHyperLink runat="server" Text="Details" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<PagerStyle CssClass="DDFooter"/>
<PagerTemplate>
<asp:GridViewPager runat="server" />
</PagerTemplate>
<EmptyDataTemplate>
There are currently no items in this table.
</EmptyDataTemplate>
</asp:GridView>
So how can i control the lenght. By the way, every field is cut after 22 chars! I search the whole solution but no more MaxLength values found. If I set MaxLength Value in gridView it doesen't work.
Ok I solved it. I've modified the field template (text.ascx.cs) from
private const int MAX_DISPLAYLENGTH_IN_LIST = 25;
to an higher value....
Maybe you entered some "maxlength" Attribute cause both of your values are 22 characters Long.
something like this maybe?
<asp:TextBox ID="txtmyValue" MaxLength="10" runat="server" ..../>
Did you got "BoundField"'s so maybe you should replace them with "TemplateField"'s instead so you can control whats going on:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="my text value">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtmyValue" MaxLength="40" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "YOUR_BOUND_ITEM_NAME") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I have just started to learn how to use the Gridview Control to display SQL data. I have been able to get almost everything to work except for displaying the more user friendly information for one of my data fields that I populate from a lookup table. The entire concept of the page I want to be able to Update, Insert and Delete new records too and for some reason I could not get these options to work when I was using the SqlDataSource so I use LinqDataSource and all is now working (except I haven’t figured out Insert yet…a separate question)
I am also using the controls tabs in Visual Studio to choose and edit the attributes of the controls so kind of using the wizards and not hand coding the example.
What I cannot figure out is how to make my column with employeetypeid that contains the foreign key from the employeetypelookup table to show the employeetype text value for the user so this makes more sense. I found a “Walkthrough: Displaying a Drop-Down List While Editing in the GridView Web Server Control“ and this works perfectly. When I go into edit mode the dropdownlist shows the employeetype text and when I choose a different type, the appropriate employeetype id gets stored in the database.
So how can I modify something (the Datasource???) to display the employeetype text in the DataGrid.
<asp:LinqDataSource ID="LinqDataSource1" runat="server" ContextTypeName="SNRmain.SNRmainDataContext" EntityTypeName="" OrderBy="lastname, preferredfirstname" Select="new (personnelid, lastfirstname)" TableName="masterpersonnellastpreferreds"></asp:LinqDataSource>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="LinqDataSource1" DataTextField="lastfirstname" DataValueField="personnelid">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:LinqDataSource ID="LinqDataSource2" runat="server" ContextTypeName="SNRmain.SNRmainDataContext" EnableDelete="True" EnableInsert="True" EnableUpdate="True" EntityTypeName="" TableName="tblappointmentdates" Where="personnelid == #personnelid" OrderBy="startdate desc">

</WhereParameters>
</asp:LinqDataSource>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="snrappointmentid" DataSourceID="LinqDataSource2">

<asp:BoundField DataField="startdate" HeaderText="startdate" SortExpression="startdate" />

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="employeetypeid" SortExpression="employeetypeid">

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("employeetypeid") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="apptcomment" HeaderText="apptcomment" SortExpression="apptcomment" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="dateentered" HeaderText="dateentered" SortExpression="dateentered" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:LinqDataSource ID="LinqDataSource3" runat="server" ContextTypeName="SNRmain.SNRmainDataContext" EntityTypeName="" OrderBy="employeetypetext" Select="new (employeetypeid, employeetypetext)" TableName="tblemployeetypelookups">
</asp:LinqDataSource>
I have tried to modify the LinqDataSource2 to include a statement like the one below but that does not work and I get an error that does not make sense to me. "System.Web.Query.Dynameic.ParseException: Syntax error.
<asp:LinqDataSource ID="LinqDataSource2" runat="server" ContextTypeName="SNRmain.SNRmainDataContext" EntityTypeName="" Select="snrappointmentid,
personnelid, startdate,
endingdate, employeetypeid,
tblemployeetypelookup.employeetypetext
from tblappointmentdates
join tblemployeetypelookups on tblappointmentdates.employeetypeid = tblemployeetypelookups.employeetypeid" TableName="tblappointmentdates" Where="personnelid == #personnelid">
<WhereParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownList1" Name="personnelid" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="Int32" />
</WhereParameters>
</asp:LinqDataSource>
thanks in advance.
Ok if I understood correctly what you should do is to pass the employeetypeid in a function and retrieve the text and bind that to control like this.
from
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("employeetypeid") %>'></asp:Label>
to
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<% #GetEmployeeName(Eval("employeetypeid"))%>' runat="server" />
so now GetEmployeeName is a server function you would write to fetch name from id.
protected string GetEmployeeName(int employeetypeid)
{
//What ever is the way to query and return from here
}
Also as side note I noticed you do naming like Label1 which is very poor practice.
I have a gridview with bounded fields. In the first column "Priority" I'd like to bind the priority number but also add multiple glyphicon's based on flags from other columns in the datatable. There are columns "HOT_FLAG", "WATCH_FLAG" and "INFO_FLAG" and if those are true, I need to display the corresponding glyphicon.
<asp:GridView
ID="dgv_Test"
GridLines="None"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
OnRowCreated="dgv_RowCreated"
EnableHeadervisualstyles ="true"
runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="PRIORITY" HeaderText="#"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="COL2" HeaderText="COL2" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="COL3" HeaderText="COL3" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I'm assuming I need to convert these bound fields to template fields (or something else) and set the Glyphicon's in the code behind but I'm not sure where to go from here.
Try this.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="#">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Image ID="HotFlag" runat="server" ImageUrl="path/to/image" Visible='<%# Eval("HOT_FLAG") %>'/>
<asp:Image ID="WatchFlag" runat="server" ImageUrl="path/to/image" Visible='<%# Eval("WATCH_FLAG") %>'/>
<asp:Image ID="InfoFlag" runat="server" ImageUrl="path/to/image" Visible='<%# Eval("INFO_FLAG") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
I need to develop such a program in which the GridView's rows should be decided at run time.
i.e. I have a table in database called dealer capacity.
Dealer_ID Capacity
D0001 5
Now when the Dealer D00001 is selected from combo box the number of rows in grid view should be 5. I want to use the template field also.
My code for GridView is:
<asp:GridView ID="grdlicence" runat="server" DataKeyNames="Version_id" GridLines="None" BorderStyle="Solid" AutoGenerateColumns="false" AllowSorting="true"
CssClass="mGrid table"
PagerStyle-CssClass="pgr"
AlternatingRowStyle-CssClass="alt" >
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Version_name" ItemStyle-CssClass="uppercase" ItemStyle-Width="150px" HeaderText="Version" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Version_id" Visible="false" HeaderText="Version" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Price">
<ItemTemplate>
<center><asp:TextBox ID="txtprice" CssClass="alignments TextStyle" MaxLength="5" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox></center>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Licence Id">
<ItemTemplate>
<center><asp:TextBox ID="txtlicenceid" CssClass="alignments uppercase" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox></center>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Purchase Date">
<ItemTemplate>
<center><asp:TextBox ID="txtpurchasedate" onfocus="showCalendarControl(this);" CssClass="alignments TextStyle" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></center>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Expiry Date">
<ItemTemplate>
<center><asp:TextBox ID="txtexpirydate" onfocus="showCalendarControl(this);" CssClass="alignments TextStyle" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></center>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Upload File">
<ItemTemplate>
<center><asp:FileUpload ID="fileUpload" runat="server" /></center>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
You need to define PageSize for your GridView and remember to set AllowPaging to true for the GridView
GridView.PageSize Property
Gets or sets the number of records to display on a page in a GridView
control.
The default is 10.
You may see this article: GridView Paging Sample in ASP.NET
You can use the linq Take() and pass the number as parameter.
Updated according to the comment, use following code.
grdlicence.DataSourse= ds.Take(5);
grdlicence.DataBind();

I have a DetailsView that is displaying an entity framework record for a table that has a linked lookup table. I have an asp:BoundField with the datafield set as "linkedTable.Field" and it displays a value.
<asp:BoundField DataField="linkedTable.Field" HeaderText="linkedTable.Field"
SortExpression="linkedTable.Field" />
I am trying to use that value in an asp:TemplateField but when I try to get it using:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Field" SortExpression="linkedTable.Field" >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblField" Text='<%# Bind("linkedTable.Field") %>' />
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Nothing shows up in the label. I can change the Bind() to a field that is not part of the linked table and it works (i.e. the "ID" field). My problem is I don't understand why the linkedtable.Field value shows up in one context and not in the other.
FYI, my data connection is a EntityDataSource
<asp:EntityDataSource ID="edsNYSEDaily" runat="server"
ConnectionString="name=ServerDBEntities"
DefaultContainerName="ServerDBEntities" EntitySetName="tblNYSE"
EntityTypeFilter="tblNYSE" EnableUpdate="True" EnableFlattening="true"
AutoGenerateWhereClause="True" Select="" Where="">
<WhereParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="0" Name="ID"
QueryStringField="ID" Type="Int32" />
</WhereParameters>
Let me know if you need any other information. I am stuck
Ok, discovered the problem:
Needed to add Include="linkedTable" to the EntityDataSource tag. Still not sure why it was even working in the <asp:DataBound /> tag.
Source for the answer: forums.asp.net
Copy of the text:
you should start here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.entitydatasource.include.aspx
notice that, you won't be able to Bind (I mean two-way data-binding) the related entities (see the remarks there).
and, you'd have to use a TemplateField for those properties.
see this example (I used the link table 'TableAB' for EntitySetName and included the other two):
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ID" DataSourceID="EntityDataSource1">
<Columns>
<asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" ShowEditButton="True" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="ID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="IDA" HeaderText="IDA" SortExpression="IDA" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="IDB" HeaderText="IDB" SortExpression="IDB" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="TableA Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("TableA.NameA") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="TableB Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("TableB.NameB") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:EntityDataSource ID="EntityDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="name=ABLinkEntities"
DefaultContainerName="ABLinkEntities" EnableDelete="True" EnableFlattening="False"
EnableInsert="True" EnableUpdate="True" EntitySetName="TableABs" Include="TableA,TableB">
</asp:EntityDataSource>
you'll have to re-consider the updates and deletes, you could do them manually.
Q:
I have a gridview contains a textbox as a template field :
the aspx:
<asp:GridView Width="100%" ID="gv_Evaluation" CssClass="datatable" AllowSorting="True"
runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="True" GridLines="None"
OnRowDataBound="gv_Evaluation_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="serial">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblSerial" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="activity type" DataField="activityType" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="weight" DataField="activityWeight" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="evaluation">
<ItemTemplate>
<telerik:RadTextBox ID="txt_evaluateWeights" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
OnTextChanged="txt_evaluateWeights_TextChanged"></telerik:RadTextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txt_evaluateWeights" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="*" SetFocusOnError="True"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<RowStyle VerticalAlign="Top" CssClass="row" />
</asp:GridView>
the weight column contains the following numbers[50,10,10,10,5,5,10]
What I wanna to do is:
Validate the data entry when the user enters the data in the txt_evaluateWeights Where it must be less than or equal the meeting one in the weight column. I do that in server side. But I wanna to do that client side. I tried to use the compare validator but it doesn't suit my case because each time i compare with a different value, according to the weight column.
You can use the CustomValidator class and set the ClientValidationFunction property to use clientside validation
