How to store information in the view list in the database

How can I save rows created in the list view in my database? How can I access the values ​​in the (list view)? How to save the values ​​created in the view list to the database?
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate runat="server">
<tr class="text-center">
<td class="product-remove"></td>
<td class="image-prod">
<div class="">
<asp:Image ID="Image1" CssClass=" img" ImageUrl='<%# "../img/" + Eval("picture" )%>' runat="server" />
</div>
</td>
<td class="product-name"><%# Eval("namebook") %> </td>
<td id="t_Plural" runat="server" class="price "><%# Eval("Price") %> </td>
<td class="quantity"><%# Eval("titel") %></td>
<td class="col-2">
<asp:Button ID="delete" CssClass="btn btn-outline-danger" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("id")%>' OnClick="delete_Click" runat="server" Text="حذف کالا" />
</td>
<td>
<%-- <input id="quantity2" runat="server" type="number" AutoPostBack="true" oninput="lod_gheymat" onserverclick="lod_gheymat" value="" min="1" max="20" />--%>
<asp:TextBox ID="quantity2" runat="server" CssClass="input-wrap" AutoPostBack="true" OnTextChanged="lod_gheymat" Text="1" min="1" max="20"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td >
<div class="row">
<asp:Label ID="lbl_Plural" runat="server" Text="0"></asp:Label> <span class="row"> تومان</span>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

The way to approach this type of issue and problem is to NOT try and add to the database from the list view.
What you do is get your data (say in a data table).
then send the data table to the list view.
Now, if you want say a "add new row" button?
Add the row to the data table, and then re-bind the list view.
Next up?
You asking how to add this to the database, but is not that where it came form in the first place?
and it is VERY confusing that you asking how to add rows to this LV, but how is the user going to add the picture?
Next up, how is this post getting up-votes? I will assume up-votes are not being messed with? I'll put this issue aside, but something not fitting here.
Ok, so, how to add rows, and how to save such rows back to the database?
You can achieve this goal this way:
First, we assume the LV can now be freely edit. That means using text boxes.
so, we have this markup:
(probably not HUGE important the LV you have, but the "idea" outlined here should work fine).
<style> .borderhide input, textarea {border:none}</style>
<div style="width:70%;padding:20px">
<h2>Fighter Prints</h2>
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="ID" >
<ItemTemplate>
<tr style="">
<td><asp:TextBox ID="Fighter" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Fighter") %>' TextMode="MultiLine" /></td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="Engine" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Engine") %>' TextMode="MultiLine" Width="200px" /></td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="Thrust" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Thrust") %>' Width="70px" /></td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="Description" runat="server" Text = '<%#Eval("Description") %>'
TextMode="MultiLine" Width="340px" Rows="5" /></td>
<td>
<asp:Image ID="iPreview" runat="server" Height="68px" Width="149px"
ImageUrl='<%# Eval("ImagePath") %>'/>
</td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="Qty" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Qty") %>' style="width:30px;text-align:right"/></td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="Price" runat="server" Text='<%# string.Format("{0:c2}",Eval("Price")) %>' style="Width:70px;text-align:right"/></td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="Total" runat="server" Text='<%# string.Format("{0:c2}",Eval("Total")) %>' style="Width:70px;text-align:right" /></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<LayoutTemplate>
<table id="itemPlaceholderContainer" runat="server"
class="table table-hover borderhide ">
<tbody>
<tr runat="server" style="" >
<th runat="server">Fighter</th>
<th runat="server">Engine</th>
<th runat="server">Thrust (lbs)</th>
<th runat="server">Description</th>
<th runat="server">Preview</th>
<th runat="server" style="text-align:right">Qty</th>
<th runat="server" style="width:70px;text-align:right">Price</th>
<th runat="server" style="width:70px;text-align:right">Total</th>
</tr>
<tr id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server" />
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>Total</td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="MyTotal" runat="server" Text="0" Width="70px" Style="text-align:right"></asp:TextBox></td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
Ok, so the code to load is now this:
DataTable rstData = new DataTable();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
LoadGrid();
Session["rstData"] = rstData;
}
else
rstData = Session["rstData"] as DataTable;
}
void LoadGrid()
{
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TEST4))
{
using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand("SELECT * from Fighters ", conn))
{
conn.Open();
rstData = new DataTable();
rstData.Load(cmdSQL.ExecuteReader());
rstData.Columns.Add("Total", typeof(decimal),"[Qty] * [Price]");
ListView1.DataSource = rstData;
ListView1.DataBind();
decimal myTotal = 0;
foreach (ListViewItem OneRow in ListView1.Items)
{
TextBox MyPrice = OneRow.FindControl("Total") as TextBox;
myTotal += Decimal.Parse(MyPrice.Text, NumberStyles.Currency);
}
// now update the final total label
TextBox lblTotal = ListView1.FindControl("MyTotal") as TextBox;
lblTotal.Text = string.Format("{0:c2}", myTotal);
}
}
}
And now we have this:
Ok, for the above, note how we added 3 buttons below the LV.
And becuase I wanted "cute" icons in the buttons, I dropped in hteml buttons, not asp.net ones. But, with a "id" and runat=server, they work JUST the same anyway.
So, our 3 buttons are (right after the LV markup)
<div style="float:left">
<button id="cmdSave" runat="server" class="btn" onserverclick="cmdSave_ServerClick">
<span aria-hidden="true" class="glyphicon glyphicon-save"></span> &nbspSave
</button>
<button id="cmdUndo" runat="server" class="btn" style="margin-left:10px" onserverclick="cmdUndo_ServerClick">
<span aria-hidden="true" class="glyphicon glyphicon-retweet"></span> &nbspUn do
</button>
</div>
<div style="float:right">
<button id="cmdAddNew" runat="server" class="btn" onserverclick="cmdAddNew_ServerClick">
<span aria-hidden="true" class="glyphicon glyphicon-new-window"></span> &nbspAdd New
</button>
</div>
Ok, so of the 3, the un-do button code is easy:
protected void cmdUndo_ServerClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// undo changes - just re-load the lv
LoadGrid();
}
Ok, now the save button. This save button will:
save any new rows, and ALSO save any editing we do. Remember, since we used text boxes, then I can quite much tab around - edit ANY row. If I hit save, then we save all edits AND ALSO any new row added.
So, the save button does this:
protected void cmdSave_ServerClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridToTable(); // send lv to table
SaveToDatabase();
}
So, now we need the routine to send the LV to the table. That code is this:
void GridToTable()
{
// pull grid rows back to table.
foreach (ListViewItem rRow in ListView1.Items)
{
int RecordPtr = rRow.DataItemIndex;
DataRow OneDataRow;
OneDataRow = rstData.Rows[RecordPtr];
OneDataRow["Fighter"] = ((TextBox)rRow.FindControl("Fighter")).Text;
OneDataRow["Engine"] = ((TextBox)rRow.FindControl("Engine")).Text;
OneDataRow["Thrust"] = ((TextBox)rRow.FindControl("Thrust")).Text;
OneDataRow["Description"] = ((TextBox)rRow.FindControl("Description")).Text;
OneDataRow["Qty"] = ((TextBox)rRow.FindControl("Qty")).Text;
OneDataRow["Price"] = Decimal.Parse(((TextBox)rRow.FindControl("Price")).Text,
NumberStyles.Currency);
}
}
So, the above takes ANY edit - any row you edit, and send changes from LV->rstData.
So, now we need the rstData save all rows, all edits, all additions back to the database, and that code is this:
void SaveToDatabase()
{
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TEST4))
{
using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Fighters", conn))
{
conn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmdSQL);
SqlCommandBuilder daU = new SqlCommandBuilder(da);
da.Update(rstData);
}
}
}
So, now that is quite much all we need.
The last button, "add row" is also easy, and looks like this:
protected void cmdAddNew_ServerClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// user might have done some editing, so, pull LV to table
// just in case
GridToTable();
// add new row to database
DataRow MyNewRow = rstData.NewRow();
// setup some defaults and values for this new row
//MyNewRow["DateCreate"] = DateTime.Now;
rstData.Rows.Add(MyNewRow);
ListView1.DataSource = rstData;
ListView1.DataBind();
}
That is it. So, if I am looking at above LV, and hit add-new, we now have this:
so I can just fill out the information, and then hit save. If I hit un-do, then the row will not be added (nor saved).
Note how we had a min of code to do the save. Note how we did not mess with a boatload of templates (and thus save world poverty).
So, this works really nice, was not a lot of code and the real secrets "idea" here was persisting the rstData. This allows great ease of adding new rows, but MORE important it was very simple then to send the edits back to the database, and that one save command will not only save any editing in the LV, but also will create the new rows in the database for you. So, you can quite much tab around in that lv - almost like excel. So we don't have a huge mess of "edit" buttons, and all that jazz. Just a simple grid of data, and a simple save, or add new button.
Note VERY careful how the GridToTable works. As this shows HOW to grab, and get values from the LV, and that was quite much the "major" part of your question. So, you can grab any row of the LV, but to pull values out of the one row, you have to use "FindControl".

protected void savetodatabase_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl Labelid;
TextBox quantity2;
foreach (ListViewItem rRow in ListView1.Items)
{
itemlist iteml = new itemlist();
quantity2 = (TextBox)rRow.FindControl("quantity2");
Labelid = (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl)rRow.FindControl("Labelid");
iteml.quantity = quantity2.Text;
iteml.bookid = Convert.ToInt32(Labelid.InnerText) ;
iteml.Date = DateTime.Now;
iteml.userid = Convert.ToInt32(Session["userid"].ToString()) ;
DatabaseContext context = new DatabaseContext();
context.itemlists.Add(iteml);
context.SaveChanges();
}
}

FindControl() always returns null from DataList Textbox

I have 8 items in a SQL table with a Description, ItemNumber, and ImagePath.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//fill the datalist for the Signs Table
string tCallFrom = "Program." + System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name;
string tQry = #"SELECT * FROM [js_Signs]";
DataTable tblSigns = objCommMethods.fReturnTableFromQry(clsDBSelect.enumDBSelect.ProjectMaster, tQry, tCallFrom);
SignsList.DataSource = tblSigns;
SignsList.DataBind();
}
I am using a DataList to show all of the items along with a textbox that will allow a user to input the number of items they want:
<asp:DataList ID="SignsList" runat="server" RepeatColumns="4" CellPadding="2" Width="90%" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
<ItemTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<th>
<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description") %>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ItemNumber") %>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Image ID="SignImage" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ImagePath") %>' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="text-align: center;">
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSignQuantity" runat="server" CssClass="txtBox" BackColor="White" Enabled="true"
type="number" min="0" ToolTip="Please choose quantity of signs needed."/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p> </p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
<div class="btnGroup">
<div class="btnDiv">
<asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save" CssClass="btnSave" Width="90px" Visible="true" OnClick="btnSave_Click"/>
</div>
<div class="btnDiv">
<asp:Button ID="btnCancel" runat="server" Text="Clear" CssClass="btnCancel" Width="90px" Visible="true" OnClick="btnCancel_Click"/>
</div>
</div>
After the saved button is clicked in C# I want to find out the value that a user entered but it is always returning null:
protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox txtSignQuantity;
string tempSignQuantity;
try
{
foreach (DataListItem item in SignsList.Items)
{
txtSignQuantity = item.FindControl("txtSignQuantity") as TextBox;
tempSignQuantity = txtSignQuantity.Text;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
}
I also checked and the Count of SignsList.Items was 8, so I know that it is retrieving the correct information. Sorry, I've never used a Data List before so I'm not really sure how to go about this...

The short answer is that data binding on postback is causing the problem. Check the Page.IsPostBack property before doing data binding:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
//fill the datalist for the Signs Table
string tCallFrom = "Program." + System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name;
string tQry = #"SELECT * FROM [js_Signs]";
DataTable tblSigns = objCommMethods.fReturnTableFromQry(clsDBSelect.enumDBSelect.ProjectMaster, tQry, tCallFrom);
SignsList.DataSource = tblSigns;
SignsList.DataBind();
}
}
ASP.NET WebForms attempts to abstract away the fact that the control instances that were used to render the page are not the same instances it has when handling postback events. Data binding compounds the abstraction because it has to create controls in response to the DataBind call, and then on postback, recreate them based on the ViewState it saved.
Initializing controls from ViewState happens on the Init event, so when the Load event is fired later in the page lifecycle and you call DataBind on the control, everything it restored gets wiped out and recreated.
As for why you were getting null, it may have been that the controls were wiped out but not recreated; it may have had to do with other event handlers that didn't get rewired after the second data binding.

Prevent Form Resubmit

I've been looking for this answer for a couple weeks now but many other questions/answers don't fit my project or simply don't work.
Let me explain my project.
It is a simple View Page which on page load it would set the Text to different fields throughout the page. On the bottom I have a container with buttons which control which div is displayed in the container. On each click of the button, I run some code to set data sources to grid views or fill fields with text. I noticed when I click F5 to refresh the page I get that pesky "form resubmission" popup which will cause the last button click such as appending a note to a listview to be duplicated.
Here is some code to understand what I am doing
HTML(Not complete, just necessary to understand my question)

C# Codebehind
protected void Button_Sub_Menu_Notes_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
resetSubMenuButtons();
Button_Sub_Menu_Notes.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Orange;
Div_Sub_Menu_Notes.Visible = true;
string bondID = Request.QueryString["BondID"];
bindNotes(bondID);
}
protected void bindNotes(string bondID)
{
DataTable dt = Common_Functions.GetData("SELECT * FROM View_Bond_Notes_With_Name WHERE Bond_ID='" + bondID + "' ORDER BY Created_DateTime DESC");
LV_Notes.DataSource = dt;
LV_Notes.DataBind();
}
protected void LV_Notes_PagePropertiesChanging(object sender, PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs e)
{
(LV_Notes.FindControl("DataPager_Notes") as DataPager).SetPageProperties(e.StartRowIndex, e.MaximumRows, false);
string bondID = Request.QueryString["BondID"];
bindNotes(bondID);
}
protected void LV_Notes_ItemCommand(object sender, ListViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (String.Equals(e.CommandName, "View_Document"))
{
ListViewDataItem dataItem = (ListViewDataItem)e.Item;
string documentID = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
Session["BondDocumentID"] = documentID;
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "openDocument", "window.open('/FileServing/Bond_Document_Server.aspx');", true);
}
}
protected void Button_Append_New_Note_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string bondID = Request.QueryString["BondID"];
string UserID = Request.Cookies["UserID"].Value;
string newNote = TextArea_New_Note.Value;
if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(newNote))
{
return;
}
cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Bond_Notes " +
"(Bond_ID, Created_DateTime, Created_By, Note) " +
"VALUES " +
"(#Bond_ID, #Created_DateTime, #Created_By, #Note)", conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Bond_ID", bondID);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Created_DateTime", DateTime.Now);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Created_By", UserID);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Note", (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(newNote) ? (object)DBNull.Value : newNote));
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();
TextArea_New_Note.Value = "";
bindNotes(bondID);
}
So when the user clicks "Button_Append_New_Note", the code will fire to run the sqlcommand and then refreshes the ListView by calling the "bindNotes(bondID)". If the user clicks F5 or hits refresh for whatever reason, they are resubmitting that form and add duplicates. I've read many solutions to redirect to the same page, this will not work in my case since the div would be hidden again and I would prefer the Notes div to stay visible so the user can see their new note in the listview. I also prefer not to have an sql check to look for a duplicate and prevent an insert since I may want the user to insert duplicates if they chose to at another time, but the user would manually type in the duplicate.
Any recommendations or suggestions on how to avoid the form resubmission?
Also please no criticizing on the code, I am looking for answers, not a lecture on why its bad to build an SQL sentence with inline string addition. I will correct and optimize these faults eventually.
If you found my solution elsewhere, please ensure it would work in my case cause I have found my same question many times, but not with my scenario.
Thanks in advance.

As you probably know, ASP.NET Web Forms send POST requests back to the server and then re-render the Page in the same request. This is why we see the form re-submission message when we click "reload".
To avoid this issue, we should employ the post-then-redirect pattern used by many web applications. Here's a quick overview:
A user clicks a button which submits the form as a POST request.
The server receives the request and saves the data.
The server issues a redirect response along with any needed state.
The browser receives the redirect and loads the appropriate page by sending a GET request.
Because we redirect the browser to a new (or the same) location, this clears the POST data from the previous request so we can hit "reload" without re-submitting the same data again. The URL that we redirect to should contain only the data needed for the server to interpret what to display on the page. This pattern provides a durable way to maintain state between requests in HTTP.
To apply this to the Web Form in the question, we need to change some assumptions about how the page loads. Instead of binding the notes to the page after running each POST action, we'll redirect the user first, and then bind the notes:
protected void Button_Append_New_Note_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string bondID = Request.QueryString["BondID"];
// Save the new note...
Response.Redirect("http://example.com/Page.aspx?BondID=" + bondID);
}
Then, when the browser loads the redirect:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
bindNotes(Request.QueryString["BondID"]);
}
}
We'll need to change each of the post-back methods to use this pattern. Some of the methods may need to add additional parameters to the redirect URL that the page reads to configure the display.

This is quite easy and blocks the pop up asking for form resubmission on refresh once the form is submitted. Just place this line of javascript code at the footer of your file and see the magic.
<script>
if ( window.history.replaceState ) {
window.history.replaceState( null, null, window.location.href );
}
</script>

two decisons just one button

My problem now is that i need to click 2 time to do the search with right text to search. is there a way to cacth what i'm sending and update it? Is there another solution?
Hello!!
I have 2 radiobuttons that decides what search engine to use (google or mine), and i have 1 button that will submit a text that will be used to be searched in one of the 2 search engines. When i try to do the google search, the first time it just opens the new window when i click the 2nd time, it opens the google window with word that i want to search and if i try to do my search it do the both searchs. What i'm doing wrong ? how i put this working in the right way?
<table><tr>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" OnClick="Button1_Click" UseSubmitBehavior="true"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td>
<input id="Search1" value="one" type="radio" runat="server" name="sitesearch" />Site Name
<input id="Search2" value="two" type="radio" runat="server" name="sitesearch" />
<img src="http://www.google.com/images/poweredby_transparent/poweredby_FFFFFF.gif" alt="Google" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
and then i have...
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
if (Search1.Checked)
{
//My Search
Response.Redirect(Request.UrlReferrer.AbsolutePath +...
}
else if (Search2.Checked)
{
//Google search
btnSearch.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "window.open('http://www.google.com/search?q=" + Regex.Replace(TextB.Text, " ", "+") + "','_blank');");
}
}
...and i have this...
TextBox TextB;
HtmlInputRadioButton radioBSite;
Button btnSearch;
HtmlInputRadioButton radioBGoogle;
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
TextB = (TextBox)FindControl("TextBox1");
TextB.Text = Request["find"];
radioBSite = (HtmlInputRadioButton)FindControl("Search1");
radioBSite.Checked = true;
radioBGoogle = (HtmlInputRadioButton)FindControl("Search2");
btnSearch = (Button)FindControl("btnSearch");
btnSearch.Click += new EventHandler(Button1_Click);
.
.
}

The problem is with this line of code:
btnSearch.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "window.open('http://www.google.com/search?q=" + Regex.Replace(TextB.Text, " ", "+") + "','_blank');");
You are adding a client side OnClick, that will open the search in a new window (the _blank target).
If you do a:
Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com/search?q=" + TextB.Text);
Things will work as you expect.

instead of input controls use asp:RadioButton with autopost property as true and create and assign their events at design time

EDIT: Updated the code to open the search window.
The following may help you. It's not performing a search, but you should be able to get the general idea.
ASPX:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<div>
<asp:TextBox ID="SearchFor" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:RadioButton ID="RadioGoogle" runat="server" GroupName="SearchSelect" Text="Google" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="RadioCustom" runat="server" GroupName="SearchSelect" Text="Custom" /><br />
<asp:Button ID="Search" runat="server" onclick="Search_Click" Text="Search" />
</div>
</form>
Codebehind:
protected void Search_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (RadioGoogle.Checked)
GoogleSearch(SearchFor.Text);
if (RadioCustom.Checked)
Response.Write("Search Custom for " + SearchFor.Text);
}
private void GoogleSearch(string searchFor)
{
string targetURL = "http://www.google.com/search?q=" + Regex.Replace(searchFor, " ", "+");
string clientScript = "window.open('" + targetURL + "');";
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "popup", clientScript, true);
}
Swap the Response.Write's for a call to a method that does your search.

How to get the Id of Checkbox which is inside a Repeater

I have a repeater inside which i put a Checkbox and above rapeater there is a HTML checkbox which is used to Check/Uncheck a Checkbox which is inside repeater using client side javascript.
Here is my Code:
JavaScript for Check/Uncheck:
<script type="text/javascript">
function selectAll() {
for (i = 0; i < document.all.length; i++) {
alert("Working");
if (document.all[i].type == 'checkbox') {
if (document.getElementById(cbSelectAll).Checked = true) {
//document.all[i].Checked = false;
} else {
document.all[i].Checked = true;
}
}
}
}
</script>
HTML Code for Repeater:
<div id="hdPropertyList" runat="server">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="navigation" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" id="cbSelectAll" onchange="selectAll()" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnContactAll" Text="Contact All" />
</td>
<td id="tdOrderBy" runat="server">
</td>

<asp:Label ID="lblPage" runat="server" CssClass="pageList"></asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="boxleft SearchFeaturedlist" style="display: none">

</div>
<asp:Repeater ID="rptPropertyList" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" OnItemDataBound="rptPropertyList_ItemDataBound"
OnLoad="rptPropertyList_Load">
<ItemTemplate>
<table id="propertyTable" runat="server" enableviewstate="false">
<tr id="tbrLabel" runat="server" enableviewstate="false">
<td id="tbcLabel" colspan="3" runat="server" enableviewstate="false">
</td>
</tr>
<tr id="tbrTitle" runat="server" enableviewstate="false">
<td id="tbcTitle" runat="server" enableviewstate="false">
<asp:CheckBox ID="ChkSelect" runat="server" /><span id="spnSelect" runat="server"></span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div id="divAds" runat="server" visible="false" enableviewstate="false" style="width: 100%;
overflow: hidden">
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
Please help me in this regards.
Thanks in Advance.

The ID of the repeater will be available through it's ClientID property.
Really, you want to be asking whether you need this at all. Why not place the repeater inside a named div, and then simply find all input elements that have a type of checkbox that reside within it ( getElementsByTagName would help here ).
With a decent js addon library, like mootools or jQuery, you'll be able to use CSS selectors, which will make your task even easier.
Here's mootools example :-
function selectAllOrNone()
{
var myNewValue = $('selectall').innerText == "All" ? "None" : "All";
var myCheckers = $$('input[type=checkbox]');
$('selectall').innerText = myNewValue;
myCheckers.each(
function(e) {
e.checked = (myNewValue == "None");
}
);
}

I got the answer using Jquery. I used only the HTML checkbox to Check Uncheck all the checkbox on my Asp.net page.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('td.title_listing :checkbox').change(function() {
$('#cbSelectAll').attr('checked', false);
});
});
function CotactSelected() {
var n = $("td.title_listing input:checked");
alert(n.length);
var s = "";
n.each(function() {
s += $(this).val() + ",";
});
window.location = "/D_ContactSeller.aspx?property=" + s;
alert(s);
}
