OldValues collection in event "ItemUpdating" of DetailsView is always empty - c#

I´m using a DetailsView but when updating, I cannot get the OldValues because the DetailsViewUpdateEventArgs.OldValues of ItemUpdating event is always empty. The NewValues has the values ok.
Note: I´m not using a datasource component in my application (SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource, EntityDataSource, etc.). In this case should I do something manually?
Any ideas will be welcome!
Thanks!
Complementing the information:
I´m using ASP.NET 4.0 (WebForms)
A snippet of code that I believe to be relevant below:

The event ItemUpdating is like below:
protected void customerDetails_ItemUpdating(object sender, DetailsViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
repository = repository ?? new NorthwindRepositoryEF();
string id = e.Keys["CustomerID"] as string;
DataLayerPOCO.Customer customer = repository.GetCustomer(id);
string companyName = (string)e.NewValues["CompanyName"];
string contactName = (string)e.NewValues["ContactName"];
string contactTitle = (string)e.NewValues["ContactTitle"];
string address = (string)e.NewValues["Address"];
string city = (string)e.NewValues["City"];
string region = (string)e.NewValues["Region"];
string postalCode = (string)e.NewValues["PostalCode"];
string country = (string)e.NewValues["Country"];
string phone = (string)e.NewValues["Phone"];
string fax = (string)e.NewValues["Fax"];
// Update Customer with the new data
customer.CompanyName = companyName;
customer.ContactName = contactName;
customer.ContactTitle = contactTitle;
customer.Address = address;
customer.City = city;
customer.Region = region;
customer.PostalCode = postalCode;
customer.Country = country;
customer.Phone = phone;
customer.Fax = fax;
repository.UpdateCustomer(customer);
repository.Save();
//---
customerDetails.ChangeMode(DetailsViewMode.ReadOnly);
BindCustomerDetails();
BindCustomersList();
}
The problem is that if I want to handle the old values, I can´t:
this, evaluates to 0:
int oldValuesCount = e.OldValues.Count;
and this, evaluates to null, even if I alter the value to a new one:
string companyNameOld = e.OldValues["CompanyName"] as string;

It seems the old values are only populated when you have a data source bounded declaratively.
You have two workarounds in this case:
Save any old values you may need in ViewState programtically and retrieve it when you want it. This save a trip to the database.
A better option would to use the customer variable that you define in OnItemUpdating as it queries information from the database and contains all the old values.
Hope it helps.

I am getting empty value when I debugging this code.I think my code is correct but how i am not getting value of textboxes, i don't understand. Please help me for solving my issue.
Thanks in advance.
You probably did not wrap the DataBind() of the Gridview inside an IspostBack check. If you do not then the values will be rested by the DataBind instead of being saved with ViewState.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//not here
TrackerGrid.DataSource = source;
TrackerGrid.DataBind();
if (IsPostBack == false)
{
//but inside an ispostback check
TrackerGrid.DataSource = source;
TrackerGrid.DataBind();
}
}

How can I get SelectedIndexChanged to get companyname instead of companyid into textbox, 2 different tables?

I have 2 tables that I want to get data from. The first table is the Contractor table which has the contractors personal information and the second table is the Company table which has 2 columns, CompanyName and CompanyID. Both tables have identical column, CompanyID.
The current code I have has a gridview with a "Select" column, SelectedIndexChanged returns the values from the database to fill textboxes.
What I want to do is get the name of the company as opposed to the companyID filled into the textbox (txtCompany), how can I modify my current code below to do so?
ASPX
<asp:TextBox ID="txtFirstName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtLastName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtPID" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtCompany" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="PersonID" Visible="false">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblPID" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("PersonID") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
.CS
protected void TDetails_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtPID.Text = TDetails.DataKeys[TwicDetails.SelectedRow.RowIndex].Value.ToString();
txtLastName.Text = (TDetails.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblLastName") as Label).Text;
txtFirstName.Text = (TDetails.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblFirstName") as Label).Text;
txtCompany.Text = (TDetails.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblCompany") as Label).Text;
}
You can modify your SQL query to fetch the CompanyName as well like how you are fetching the CompanyId and bind it to gridview and set the visibility to false, finally you can set the value of textbox like how you are doing for other controls:-
SQL Query:-
SELECT CompanyId, CompanyName, ....
FROM tblCompany..
Aspx:-
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Company" Visible="false">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblCompanyName" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("CompanyName") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Gridview row.Cells[i].Findcontrol finding control in wrong Cell

I have a function I've written that you pass in the gridview row, as well as what control type you're attempting to locate. It finds the control as intended, however, it finds it in the incorrect cell.
protected int GetCell(GridViewRow row, string strSection)
{
int intVal = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < row.Cells.Count; i++)
{
intVal = i;
if (strSection == "QueryRate")
{
DropDownList cmbQueryType = row.Cells[i].FindControl("cmbQueryType") as DropDownList;
if (cmbQueryType != null)
{
break;
}
}
else if (strSection == "Name")
{
TextBox txtName = row.Cells[i].FindControl("txtName") as TextBox;
if (txtName != null)
{
break;
}
}
}
return intVal;
}
From my understanding, and directly from the Microsoft page: Searches the current naming container for a server control with the specified id parameter.
So my question is, why is this seemingly finding the control is the wrong column? I can't hard code specific columns, because the columns that show vary based on the the datasource.

ok - turns out that calling row.cells(0).FindControl("") is the equivalent of calling row.FindControl("") because FindControl() operates within the current NamingContainer. And all the cells in a given row have the same NamingContainer, specifically {System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRow}
If all you need is to determine the column index of a given control try this (pardon the VB):
Public Function getCellIndexByName(ByVal row As GridViewRow, ByVal ColumnName As String) As Integer
For ci As Integer = 0 To row.Cells.Count - 1
If CType(row.Cells(ci), DataControlFieldCell).ContainingField.ToString() = ColumnName Then
Return ci
End If
Next
Return -1
End Function
If you know the ID of the control that you are trying to find, you don't need to specify the cell. You can find it by looking in the whole row.
DropDownList cmbQueryType = row.FindControl("cmbQueryType") as DropDownList
This way you avoid the problem of incorrect cell index.

DetailsView change text to a label on ItemInserted event

I have label within a DetailsView.
I need to change Text property of this Label inside the DetailsView after event ItemInserted has been trigged.
Script does not throws any error, but the Label does not change its text property.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your time!

Code-behind:
protected void uxInsertAuthorInput_ItemInserted(object sender, DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs e)
{
String FirstName = e.Values["FirstName"].ToString();
String LastName = e.Values["LastName"].ToString();
uxMessageDisplayer.Text = string.Format("Author: {0} {1} has been added.", FirstName, LastName);
// problem is here:
Label myAllert = (Label)uxInsertAuthorInput.FindControl("uxAllert");
myAllert.Text = "TEST";
}
you need to use ItemUpdated event of detailsview rather than ItemInserted event
ItemUpdated: Occurs when an Update button within a DetailsView control is clicked, but after the update operation. from here
I am sure this will resolve issue 100%
