I want grid view header template textbox value. I write code for getting value but it return null.
<asp:Button ID="btngetLocationDate" runat="server" Text="Get Filtered Data" OnClick="getTextBoxValue"></asp:Button>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Mobile Number">
<HeaderTemplate>
Mobile Number:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtMobilenumber" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblmobile" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Mobile Phone") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
And On the code behind.cs i write that code but it returns null
protected void getTextBoxValue(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//TableCell cell1 = TrackerGrid.HeaderRow.Cells[0];
TextBox mobilenumber = (TrackerGrid.HeaderRow.FindControl("txtMobilenumber") as TextBox) ;
string mobile = mobilenumber.Text;
How can I resolve this ? please help me!
I've just had a similar problem by trying to get textbox text from the footer row. I'm not sure if this is the best way to get around this problem but this should work if FindControl() successfully assigns the textbox.
TextBox mobilenumber = (TrackerGrid.HeaderRow.FindControl("txtMobilenumber") as TextBox);
string mobile = Request.Form[mobilenumber.UniqueID];
EDIT: As VDWWD commented, Request.Form is a bad practice. But for my particular usage I couldn't find any other way to get the data from a textbox on button click due to my unorganized postbacks.

I have regular asp.net gridview,and i want to enable editmode in each row,and also without editbutton (like excel grid).
Edited data i want to save to my database by clicking "Post" button outside the grid(one button for whole grid).
How can i reach it?
To achieve this, you are going to have to use ItemTemplates for each column with textboxes in them as the control..
ASP
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Heading Title" SortExpression="Heading Title">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="tbTextbox" runat="server" Width="65px" Text='<%# Bind("ColumnNameYouWantToView") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
After this is set up properly, you will want the post button. You can either put it in the grid or outside the grid. I use both, but here is the one inside the grid as a footer.
ASP
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnView" runat="server" Text="View" OnClick="btnView_Click" Width="40px" />
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:Button ValidationGroup="UPDATE" ID="btnUpdate" OnClick="btnUpdate_Click" runat="server" Text="Update" Width="50px"></asp:Button>
</FooterTemplate>
<FooterStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" Width="50px" />
</asp:TemplateField>
So far, what I have found that works best is using a foreach statement in your button click. The biggest flaw with this idea is that it will update every single row. It works, but if you only change a single row at a time, it will update all of them. I have my pager set to 10, so 10 rows are always updated (unless you are just searching for a single record and update it, the only that single record is updated).
Code Behind C#
protected void btnUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["databaseConnection"].ConnectionString);
conn.Open();
//finds the controls within the gridview and updates them
foreach (GridViewRow gvr in gvGridViewName.Rows)
{
string ID = (gvr.FindControl("lblId") as Label).Text.Trim();//finds the control in the gridview
string anotherControl = ((TextBox)gvr.FindControl("tbTextBox")).Text.Trim();//finds the textbox in the gridview
//Your update or insert statements
}
This is how I do it. You can also look into Real World Grids but I haven't had much luck with this as I would always get an error if a textbox was empty. This however, is suppose to be "smart" enough to just update the rows that have been changed, but again, I didn't have much luck of doing it this way. Hope this helps!
Is there someway to turn the row of a gridview into a hyperlink so that when a user opens it in a new tab for example, it goes to that link? Right now I am using a LinkButton and when the user opens it in a new tab, it doesn't know where to go.
I figured the .aspx code would look something like:
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<Hyperlink ID="hyperlink" runat="server" ForeColor="red" HtmlEncode="false" navigationURL="testUrl.aspx"
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
The only thing is, our URLs are set up in the C# code behind as a query string, so I'm not sure how to pass that into the navigationURL section.
I'm guessing there's something I can do on the page_load with the query string to redirect to the page I need, but this is my first time working with query strings so I'm a little confused.
Thanks!
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%#String.Format("~/controller.aspx?routeID1={0}&routeID2={1}", Eval("routeid1"), Eval("routeid2"))%>'></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
routeid1 and routeid2 are passed as query strings to the controller of that page.
What I did recently is modified my class to have a readonly property that constructs the A tag for me. This way I have control over what gets displayed; just text or a link.
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="ColumnItem_Title" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DownloadATag") %>'> </asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
The code behind just binds an instance of the class to the gridview. You can bind the gridview whenever, on load on postback event, etc.
Dim docs As DocViewList = GetViewList()
GridViewDocuments.DataSource = docs
GridViewDocuments.DataBind()
In the above code, the DocViewList, instantiated as docs, is a list of a class that has all the properties that are needed to fill my GridView, which is named GridViewDocuments here. Once you set the DataSource of your GridView, you can bind any of the source's properties to an item.
Something like:
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton_Title" runat="server" target="_blank"
PostBackUrl='<%# Eval(Request.QueryString["title"]) %>'
or binding them from the RowCreated event:
protected void GridView_OnRowCreated(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
(e.Row.FindControl("LinkButton_Title") as LinkButton).PostBackUrl = Request.QueryString["title"]))
}
}
I have multiple textboxes and dropdown lists within my GridView. For one particular textbox I need trigger a server event which gets data from the database and fills it in other columns of the Grid. Is there a simple way to do it or a slightly complicated way as detailed here
I have no problems implementing the above method or thinking of a work around but then thought that there is Cell Lost Focus in a grid control surprises me a little. Am I missing something ? Any help on this would appreciated.
You can set AutoPostBack to true and handle it's TextChanged event.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" EmptyDataText="It's Empty.">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtName"
runat="server"
Text='<%#Eval("Name") %>'
AutoPostBack="true"
OnTextChanged="NameChanged" >
</asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</GridView>
in codebehind:
protected void NameChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var txtName = (TextBox) sender;
var row = (GridViewRow) txtName.NamingContainer;
// you could find other controls in this GridViewRow via
// row.FindControl("ControlID") in case of a TemplateField or
// row.Cells[0].Text (0 = index of column) in case of a BoundField
}
Here's how I want the control to work. Click edit on a row in gridview. There's a textbox in one of the columns, I would like it to be blank even though there's data in the database for that column, but when I click update I would like whatever new text the user entered to update the database for that column. It would be one-way databinding, but the other way?
Here's how I did it using an sql datasource with the select,update and delete methods generated.
First, you'll need to make any column that you want to edit like this a template field with an item template and and edit item template:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataKeyNames="ID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
onrowupdating="GridView1_RowUpdating">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="City" SortExpression="City">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("City") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtCityEdit" Text=""></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Next handle the gridview's on update event:
protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
//find the value control who's value you want
TextBox tb = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("txtCityEdit");
//since we are not using a bound column for city we need to explicitly insert the value
//into the update parameter.
SqlDataSource1.UpdateParameters["City"].DefaultValue = tb.Text;
}
Even if you are using something other than an SQL Datasource this should be the basic solution.
// Find notes textbox
TextBox tb = (TextBox)MyActiveReferrals.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("NotesTextBox");
e.NewValues.Add("Notes", tb.Text);
I used a linq data source.
I have a repeater for showing my data . this repeater showing 2 field that one of feild is checkBox Control and other is a lable.
NOW , how can I understand text of lable when the checkBox is Checked?
I want to see text of lable in evry row that the CheckBoxes is checksd.
how do I do?
I use LINQtoSQL for get and set data from database
On postback, you need to loop through every row of your repeater, and grab out the checkbox control. Then you can access it's .Checked and .Text properties. If it's .Checked, then add it to a list or array. I can elaborate if needed..
Page...
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkBoxID" runat="server" OnCommand="doSomething_Checked" CommandArgument="<%# Some Binding Information%>"
CommandName="NameForArgument">
</asp:CheckBox>
Code Behind...
protected void doSomething_Checked(object sender, CommandEventArgs e) {
CheckBox ctrl = (CheckBox)sender;
RepeaterItem rpItem = ctrl.NamingContainer as RepeaterItem;
if (rpItem != null) {
CheckBox chkBox = (LinkButton)rpItem.FindControl("chkBoxID");
chkBox.DoSomethingHere...
}
}
<asp:Repeater ID="rptX" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblX" runat="server" Visible='<%# Eval("IsChecked") %>' />
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkX" runat="server" Checked='<%# Eval("IsChecked") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
And code behind when you assign your data
rptX.DataSource = SomeIEnumerableFromLinq; // which has a bool field called IsChecked
rptX.DataBind();
