I am attempting to use a Details view.
This is my DataSource
I am passing it this way.
IEnumerable<DataRow> row = Connection.GetDataTable([sql]).AsEnumerable();
this.dvOrderInformation.DataSource = row;
this.dvOrderInformation.DataBind();
I am binding it like so.
<asp:DetailsView ID="dvOrderInformation" runat="server" Height="50px" Width="100%" AutoGenerateRows="false">
<HeaderTemplate>
Order
</HeaderTemplate>
<FieldHeaderStyle Width="150px" />
<Fields>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Order Number:" DataField="OrderID" />
</Fields>
</asp:DetailsView>
When I try this I get the message.
DataBinding: 'System.Data.DataRow' does not contain a property with the name 'OrderID'.
or
A field or property with the name 'OrderID' was not found on the selected data source.
If I bind this directly to a DataGrid it works fine. Any ideas what I am doing wrong here.
You can adjust with
this.dvOrderInformation.DataSource = Connection.GetDataTable([sql]);
this.dvOrderInformation.DataBind();
Nota : it's normal row don't contain column, so he don't find column name
DataField="OrderID" is DataColumn.Name
Found the solution.
this.dvOrderInformation.DataSource = Connection.GetDataSet([sql]);
this.dvOrderInformation.DataBind()
The Key is that I must use a DataSet and not a DataTable.

I have a simple grid on my ASPX page and I am binding it with data coming from a select query on button click event. I am not sure how to bind columns of this table with my grid as currently I am getting 8 columns, 4 with the header given in aspx page and 4 with headers of table columns. Below is my button click event code.
protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyBookListCont myBookListCont = new MyBookListCont();
gdvMyBooks.DataSource = myBookListCont.SearchBookDetailsCont();
gdvMyBooks.DataBind();
}
And below is aspx code of gridview.
<asp:GridView ID="gdvMyBooks" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="BK_NM" HeaderText="Book Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ATHR_NM" HeaderText="Author Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="BUY_YR" HeaderText="Buy Year" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="PRICE" HeaderText="Price" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Looks like a silly question, but help would be much appreciated.
This is because you have explicitly specified 4 columns in this design code :
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="BK_NM" HeaderText="Book Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ATHR_NM" HeaderText="Author Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="BUY_YR" HeaderText="Buy Year" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="PRICE" HeaderText="Price" />
</Columns>
Now here, as you can see, there is a HeaderText property which will override the table column name and display the text that is mentioned in here.
You have a couple of options here that you can try :
First, if you want all columns like this with custom header text, you can define all the other columns with these 4 in the same manner as well. That will display all the data and column headers as per the given format.Something like this :
<asp:GridView ID="gdvMyBooks" AutoGenerateColumns="False" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="BK_NM" HeaderText="Book Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ATHR_NM" HeaderText="Author Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="BUY_YR" HeaderText="Buy Year" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="PRICE" HeaderText="Price" />
//other columns using same syntax as above.
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Also, if you dont want to bind all columns coming in your query, you can use this attibute in your gridview,
AutoGenerateColumns = False
And just specify the columns that you need like you have currently done.
The other thing is, if you want to straight away bind the result in your query to your GridView, then just remove those 4 BoundField statements and leave as it is. This will bind your table to GridView with the same header names as the column names.
I hope this makes things clear.
You have to set your GridView.AutoGenerateColumns to false :
<asp:GridView ID="gdvMyBooks" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
Otherwise, it will bind all the field of your object.
Is it possible to change a gridviews DataSouceId to a gridview DataSouce after the gridview is loaded. I have a gridview with a DataSouceId that is equal to SqlDatasource. I have a button when pressed executes a some LINQ which I want to change what's in the gridview.
var sce = from pk in db.Tables
where pk.Score > 20
select new { pk.First_Name, pk.Last_Name, pk.Score };
GridView1.DataSourceID = "";
GridView1.DataSource = sce;
GridView1.DataBind();
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="First Name" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" AllowSorting="True">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="First Name" HeaderText="First Name" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="First Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Last Name" HeaderText="Last Name" SortExpression="Last Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Score" HeaderText="Score" SortExpression="Score" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Nationality" HeaderText="Nationality" SortExpression="Nationality" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I tried to change to a empty string. This compiles but crashes when the button is clicked.
Is what I'm trying possible?
The problem is that the query defines columns with different names from what the GridView expects. For example, compare:
pk.First_Name
and
DataField="First Name"
These are different, theerefore GridView is not able to find the column in data source and throws exception.
The best option would be to use underscore in GridView as well. That might require some refactoring in your initial SQL, but it should e done anyway - having spaces in column names is very brittle and uncommon, better refrain from it altogether:
<asp:BoundField DataField="First_Name" ...
Or you can define a TemplateField that looks for column with either name and displays what was found. But that sounds like a terribly huge overhead.
i have to display data like this in grid view:
the problem is that:
for each unique set of manufacturer , model and type, the number of values associated with watts column changes ... that is, there is no fixed numbers of values in this single column. how can i display such a format in my grid view? Kindly help ...
Could you just place another (nested) gridView in that column? You'd have to use a template column in your parent grid, but then for each row, the number of records in that column could be different.
<asp:GridView ID="parentGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Manufacturer" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ModelNo" HeaderText="Model No" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Type" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Watts">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:GridView ID="nestedWattsView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" ShowHeader="false" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I have given an access to stored procedure, which i'm not able to edit.
This Stored Procedure returns a Table with 2 Column, what I did is set a GridView's DataSource using SQLDataSource in this stored procedure. but I want this GridView to Sort an specific column to descending whenever this GridView Loads.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" ForeColor="Black"
Width="58%" Height="125px" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
PageSize="5" >
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="DateOccur" HeaderText="Login Date"
SortExpression="DateOccur" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="TotalMinutesPlayed" HeaderText="Total Minutes"
SortExpression="TotalMinutesPlayed" />
</Columns>
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#EFEFEF" />
</asp:GridView>
Thanks!~
You could also use the Gridview.Sort method
See Here.
If you can't sort it by editing the SQL itself, you can sort it programmatically by binding a DataView object to the datasource, specifying a Sort expression for the DataView, and then binding the DataGrid to the DataView object.
For a walkthrough of some example code, see here.
I was using a slightly modified version of the example code I found on MSDN.
Gridview Sort Example on MSDN
By combining the example I found with the SortExpression property I can sort on any column even using proprietary sorts my specification called for.
I have a web application that I am working on(ASP.NET 2.0 C#). In it I have a GridView whose data source is an Oracle database. I get the data into the gridview in my codebehind, and don't set the datasource directly.
I wanted to create a hyperlink field (NAME) that takes me to a details page about a specific record. What ends up happening is that it creates the Hyperlink field as well as the regular field that it gets from the datasource, which I don't want. If I remove the field from my SELECT statement, it gives an error saying something like: "NAME" not found in datasource.
How can I eliminate the regular field, and get a hyperlink field instead? I have tried Gridview.Columns.Remove(columnlocation), but that won't work coz the columns don't exist there originally.
Please Help
Thank you.
Instead of removing columns, disable AutoGenerateColumns property of the gridview and set your hyperlink column manually like that :
<asp:gridview id="GridView1"
autogeneratecolumns="false"
runat="server">
<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="UserID"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="UserDetails.aspx?id={0}"
DataTextField="UserName" />
</asp:gridview>
Sounds like you have AutoGenerateColumns property set to TRUE on your grid. This means that a column is generated for EVERY column you return from your query.
If you want to have some custom columns, you should set AutoGenerateColumns="false" and add all the columns to the GirdView as asp:BoundField and your Hyperlink column as asp:TemplateField
Let me know if I'm off the mark with this
here's some code:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Whatever" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<a href='<%# Eval("UserId", "URL_TO_USER?userId={0}") %>'>Details</a>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
