On my aspx page i have a repeater with 5 textboxes with 1 imagebutton to edit the row
these textboxes are readonly, to edit them I need them to not be readOnly..
In my behind code i am using :
protected void EditRecipeInfo(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
ImageButton ib = sender as ImageButton;
TextBox titleTXT = (TextBox)ib.FindControl("titleRepeat");
TextBox qtyTXT = (TextBox)ib.FindControl("qtyRepeat");
TextBox uomTXT = (TextBox)ib.FindControl("uomRepeat");
TextBox prepTXT = (TextBox)ib.FindControl("prepRepeat");
TextBox orTXT = (TextBox)ib.FindControl("orRepeat");
titleTXT.ReadOnly = false;
qtyTXT.ReadOnly = false;
uomTXT.ReadOnly = false;
prepTXT.ReadOnly = false;
orTXT.ReadOnly = false;
////
}
But when I fire this event the break points show me that the property is being set to false, but when I click to delete any value in the textbox it still acts like a readonly
UPDATE:

Make sure you're not re-binding the repeater after you set the ReadOnly property to true.
I agree with #Tariqulazam , the markup would help.
Assuming your code comes from an ItemCommand event handler, I am quite surprised to see the FindControl applied to the ImageButton.
I guess your code should be something like this :
void rpAcces_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
//...
ImageButton ib = sender as ImageButton;
TextBox titleTXT = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("titleRepeat");
TextBox qtyTXT = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("qtyRepeat");
TextBox uomTXT = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("uomRepeat");
TextBox prepTXT = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("prepRepeat");
TextBox orTXT = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("orRepeat");
titleTXT.ReadOnly = false;
qtyTXT.ReadOnly = false;
uomTXT.ReadOnly = false;
prepTXT.ReadOnly = false;
orTXT.ReadOnly = false;
//...
}
Also, be aware that you can not rebind your repeater later in the page life-cycle without losing these changes.
And watch out for any Enabled attribute set on your TextBoxes
Once again, difficult to answer without the whole code.

I have a repeater that populates a list of 3 columns and has a Checkbox next to each row. I am trying to create a scenario in which a person checks a row, the page locates the "Portion Name" text box inside of the repeaters row that corresponds with the row where the checkbox has been clicked, and once that checkbox is selected, it sends the Portion Name to another textbox outside the repeater called "testTextBox.Text". I have my code below, and am sure I am missing something as I have not done a "OnCheckChanged" event before, I am only familiar with onTextChanged events.
Below is the code:
<asp:Repeater ID="rptAccount" runat="server" OnItemCommand="rptAccount_ItemCommand">
<HeaderTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Account
</th>
<th>Portion ID
</th>
<th>Portion Name
</th>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="Account" runat="server" Width ="50px" Text='<%#Eval("Account") %>' ></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="PortionID" runat="server" Width ="90px" Text='<%#Eval("Portion ID") %>' ></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="PortionName" runat="server" Width ="340px" Text='<%#Eval("Portion Name") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:CheckBox ID="Name" runat="server" OnCheckedChanged = "TbName_CheckedChanged" Checked='<%# Eval("Name").ToString() == "True" %>' ></asp:CheckBox>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
cs code:
protected void TbName_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var PortionName = (sender as TextBox).Parent;
var rptAccount = (sender as TextBox).Parent;
var checkedd = rptAccount.FindControl("Name") as CheckBox;
var PortionNamee = rptAccount.FindControl("PortionName") as TextBox;
if (checkedd.Checked)
{
testTextBox.Text = PortionNamee.Text;
}
}
Thank you for any help you can offer.
The repeater ends up having a ton of controls with the name Name. Remember the template is repeated many times. you need to find the index of the current item. An easier way its to attach an attribute to the checkbox to hold the text value, that way you can extract it straight from the sender without having to worry about parent and index. Try this:
<asp:Repeater ID="rptAccount" runat="server" OnItemCommand="rptAccount_ItemCommand">
<HeaderTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Account
</th>
<th>Portion ID
</th>
<th>Portion Name
</th>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="Account" runat="server" Width ="50px" Text='<%#Eval("Account") %>' ></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="PortionID" runat="server" Width ="90px" Text='<%#Eval("Portion ID") %>' ></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="PortionName" runat="server" Width ="340px" Text='<%#Eval("Portion Name") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:CheckBox ID="Name" runat="server" OnCheckedChanged = "TbName_CheckedChanged" CommandName='<%#Eval("Portion Name") %>' Checked='<%# Eval("Name").ToString() == "True" %>' ></asp:CheckBox>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
cs code:
protected void TbName_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var checkedd = sender as Checkbox;
if (checkedd.Checked)
testTextBox.Text = checkedd.Attributes["CommandName"];
}
I have a list view which is below.....
I am trying to read the Quantity and Available based on their ProductID
I want to read the data in the listview and then i will view the error if Quantity > Available
Now when ever i do so, the items are Null
here is ASPnet:
<asp:ListView ID="lvCart" runat="server" onitemcommand="lvCart_ItemCommand">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="lbproductid" runat="server"
class="form-control" Width="50"
Text='<%# Eval("ProductID") %>' />
</td>
<td>
<%# Eval("Name") %>
<asp:Literal ID="ltRefNo" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("RefNo") %>' Visible="false" />
</td>
<td>
Php <%# Eval("Price", "{0: #,###.00}") %>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtQty" runat="server"
class="form-control" type="number"
min="1" max="99" MaxLength="2" Width="70"
Text='<%# Eval("Quantity") %>' required />
<asp:Label ID="avail" runat="server"
class="form-control" Width="50"
Text='<%# Eval("Available") %>' />
</td>
Code Behind 1:
(here is what i tried)
void getavail()
{
Label lbproductid = (Label)lvCart.FindControl("lbproductid");
Label avail = (Label)lvCart.FindControl("avail");
//ITemplate ID = (ITemplate)lvCart.FindControl("ProductID");
TextBox txtQty = (TextBox)lvCart.FindControl("txtQty");
if (int.Parse(txtQty.Text) > int.Parse(avail.Text))
{
error.Visible = true;
}
con.Close();
}
Code behind 2:
(Second trial)
foreach (ListViewDataItem dataitem in lvCart.Items)
{
Label lbproductid = (Label)lvCart.FindControl("lbproductid");
Label avail = (Label)lvCart.FindControl("avail");
//ITemplate ID = (ITemplate)lvCart.FindControl("ProductID");
TextBox txtQty = (TextBox)lvCart.FindControl("txtQty");
if (int.Parse(txtQty.Text) > int.Parse(avail.Text))
{
error.Visible = true;
}
con.Close();
}
When trying the second codes, it does not read codes after it. Starting at the line:
Label lbproductid = (Label)lvCart.FindControl("lbproductid");
and then it directs to last bracket and close();
I am putting this GetAvail in the page load event as i want it to show right away.
help this got me hours. thanks in advance
I have this repeater:

</asp:Repeater>
I want to know how can I get the textbox specifically from the row where the update button is clicked. What logic should I use to get the value I need?
You could probably do that with handling Click event on the button and then getting its parent control. But I would recommend handling command of the repeater instead:
<asp:Repeater ID="rptImages" runat="server"
OnItemCommand="rptImages_ItemCommand">
Remove the handler from the button, but keep the command arg. You may also want to set command name if there are other controls sending commands from within the repeater:
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnDelete" CssClass="btn btn-danger"
CommandArgument='<%# Eval("id") %>'
Text="Delete" />
And in the code behind this becomes trivial:
protected void rptImages_ItemCommand(object sender, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
TextBox t = e.Item.FindControl("txtCaption") as TextBox;
}
I am using a grid in which inside the item template(the first one in which radio button is there). i use link button instead of radiobutton ,when i click on it iam able to edit as the textbox appears, but if i use the radio button,that editing option is not coming;
aspx:
<div id="loginblock">
<table>
<tr>
<td>UserName:</td>

<asp:TextBox ID="username" runat="server" onBlur="txtvalidation();" AutoPostBack="true"></asp:TextBox>

cs:

{
grd.SelectedIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
ldgrid();
}
Here if we remove the radiobutton and insert link button,onclick of the link button we can edit the values,pls say me how to do the same operation with the radio button.
I am using C# asp.net 4.0 in my project where i need to display price in India curreny format.
eg. my number is 12550000.00 then i want to display it as 1,25,50,000.00
But i want this to be displayed in gridview when i bind the data to the gridview,
so it can be done in markup page. where we place Eval for each Item Data Bound.
However, i would also like to explain my senario for displaying comma sepearted values.
i have a set of textboxes above the gridview where user makes entries of values and click add.
this gets add in the viewstate and the viewstate is binded to gridview.
In gridview i also have Edit button on click of it the values in viewstate is passed back to textbox on RowCommand Event of gridview. and on update click the viewstate datatable is updated and Binded back to gridview.
FOR your reference:
protected void gvPropertyConfig_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
try
{
if (e.CommandName == "EditItem")
{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
hdnIndex.Value = index.ToString();

DataRow dr = dt.Rows[index];
if (Request.QueryString["CMD"] == "Edit")
{
hdnPropertyConfigID.Value = dr["config_id"].ToString();
if (dr["is_active"].ToString().ToLower() == "true")
{
chkConfigVisible.Checked = true;
}
else
{
chkConfigVisible.Checked = false;
}
thIsActHed.Visible = true;
tdIsActchk.Visible = true;
tdbtnConfig.ColSpan = 2;
}
txtScalableArea.Text = dr["scalable_area"].ToString();
txtCarpetArea.Text = dr["carpet_area"].ToString();
txtPricePerSqFt.Text = dr["price_per_sq_ft"].ToString();
txtCCPricePerSqFt.Text = dr["cc_price_per_sq_ft"].ToString();
txtTotalPrice.Text = dr["total_price"].ToString();
ddlNoOfBedrooms.SelectedValue = dr["room_id"].ToString();
btnUpdateConfig.Visible = true;
btnConfigSubmit.Visible = false;
}
if (e.CommandName == "DeleteItem")
{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
DataTable dt = (DataTable)ViewState["proeprtyConfig"];
DataRow dr = dt.Rows[index];
if (Request.QueryString["CMD"].ToString() == "Edit")
{
int PropertyConfigID = Convert.ToInt32(dr[0].ToString());
prConfigObj.deletePropertyConfig(PropertyConfigID);
fillData();
}
else
{
dr.Delete();
gvPropertyConfig.DataSource = (DataTable)ViewState["proeprtyConfig"];
gvPropertyConfig.DataBind();
}
clearConfigTextBoxes();
btnConfigSubmit.Visible = true;
btnUpdateConfig.Visible = false;
}
setChecklistAttr();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}

Use the "C" parameter in the ToString function, and make sure you set the globalaztion attributes.
string parseValueIntoCurrency(double number) {
// set currency format
string curCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString();
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo currencyFormat = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo(curCulture).NumberFormat;
currencyFormat.CurrencyNegativePattern = 1;
return number.ToString("c", currencyFormat);
}
If you want to use a different Culture (say you're in USA, and you want the Indian format) then just use the appropriate CultureInfo element rather than getting it out of the current thread.
EXTRA INFO DUE TO OP EDIT
All right, what you're wanting to do to get this into your grid, is to create a PROTECTED function which takes in the number to be converted, and returns the converted string (this is basically the code above.
Now, on the ASPX side, you need to use that function in your grid view.
So, instead of this:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Total Price (in lacs)" >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txttotal_price" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("total_price") %>' />
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lbltotal_price" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("total_price") %>'> />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
you'll use this templatefield:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Total Price (in lacs)" >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txttotal_price" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("total_price") %>' />
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# parseValueIntoCurrency(Eval("total_price")) %>'>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Note, two things. The first is that I'm still passing the UNFORMATTED value into the EDIT TEMPLATE, and that I'm not instantiating an extra LABEL in the ITEM TEMPLATE.
The reason I'm not doing the extra label, is because we just don't need it in there. That's just a bit more processor/memory overhead that you just don't need to incur.
As for passing the unformatted value to the text field, that's because it'll ultimately be easier to validate without having to parse out the commas and other string elements.
