Displaying empty rows by Telerik RadGrid while viewing page in browser - asp.net

I added Telerik RadGrid in an ASP.Net project, i want while browsing the page to display multiple empty rows and i want to add data direct to the grid either text or drop down or checkbox columns. I don't want to connect to datasource just empty rows. If cannot be through RadGrid what i can use else.

If all you want are empty rows, create any object that you can iterate over, like a collection, and throw that object into the datasource of the grid. Below is a very basic example.
Example:
<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" runat="server">
</telerik:RadGrid>
protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Columns.Add("Some Column", typeof(string));
table.Rows.Add(""); // Add some empty rows
table.Rows.Add("");
table.Rows.Add("");
RadGrid1.DataSource = table;
}

ASP.NET user control and grid view

IN dot net, User control has a drop down when it is changed. The grid needs to be changed, but the grid is not inside user control?
How can we achieve it?
You bind an event using the OnSelectedIndexChange to your drop down list on your aspx page:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlGridType" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlGridType_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="true" >
Then on your C# code behind:
protected void ddlRunType_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dtblDataSource = New DataTable();
string gridType = ddlGridType.SelectedValue;
//remove the old data from the grid view
TheGridView.DataSource = null;
TheGridView.DataBind();
//get the new data using whatever method you use to get the data
dtblDataSource = theGridView_GetDataSource(gridType);
//bind the new data to the list
TheGridView.DataSource = dtblDataSource;
TheGridView.DataBind();
}

Hyperlink Reference to another column DevExpress Gridview ASP.Net Webform

I'm using a for loop to add columns to the DevExpress ASP.Net WebForms GridView using VB.Net. I was able to get a hyperlink to reference the same column value:
Dim newColumn As New DevExpress.Web.GridViewDataHyperLinkColumn
newColumn.PropertiesHyperLinkEdit.NavigateUrlFormatString = "TrendView.aspx?CurrentID={0}"
I need to programmatically set the hyperlink to another column's value... i.e. column three needs to have a hyperlink that references the column 1 value in the same row. How do you access another column in that row using VB or C# during runtime?
please refer this url to solve your problem
https://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Example/Details/E308
change your populate grid logic as
ASPX :
<dx:ASPxGridView ID="ASPxGridView1" runat="server"></dx:ASPxGridView>
CS
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ASPxGridView1.KeyFieldName = "ID";
ASPxGridView1.DataSource = GetData();
if (!IsPostBack && !IsCallback)
{
PopulateColumns();
ASPxGridView1.DataBind();
}
}
public DataTable GetData()
{
DataTable Table = new DataTable();
Table.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(int));
Table.Columns.Add("ItemName", typeof(string));
Table.Columns.Add("ItemValue", typeof(string));
Table.Rows.Add(1, "A","AA");
Table.Rows.Add(2, "B","BB");
return Table;
}
public void PopulateColumns()
{
GridViewDataTextColumn colID = new GridViewDataTextColumn();
colID.FieldName = "ID";
ASPxGridView1.Columns.Add(colID);
GridViewDataTextColumn srk = new GridViewDataTextColumn();
srk.FieldName = "ItemValue";
ASPxGridView1.Columns.Add(srk);
GridViewDataHyperLinkColumn colItemName = new GridViewDataHyperLinkColumn();
colItemName.FieldName = "ItemValue";
colItemName.PropertiesHyperLinkEdit.NavigateUrlFormatString = "~/details.aspx?Device={0}";
colItemName.PropertiesHyperLinkEdit.TextFormatString = "{0}";
colItemName.PropertiesHyperLinkEdit.TextField = "ItemName";
ASPxGridView1.Columns.Add(colItemName);
}
here column itemName refer to itemValue as url string params
If you want to show hyperlink text based on multiple columns then HyperlinkColumn is not the right approach to implement. It would be better use templates.
You should create DataItemTemplate for the column and there you can use Bind statement to format the display text or Hyperlink url as you want. It is the same approach used in ASP.NET GridView control and work in similar manner with ASPxGridView control.
I suggest you to go through these example and attached sample projects will help you know about the implementation.

How to get values from Controls which are in GridView?

I am new to asp.net website developer.
In my website I use GridView Control.In the GridView row i place some controls like
TextBox,DropDownList.
I can display the values in GridView.
But my requirement is ,Get the values from TextBox and DropdownList Which are existed in GridView.
Please help me to go forward..
thank you,
bye..
You need to access them by row. This code project article explains it in detail.
TextBox tb = (TextBox)gridview1.Rows[0].FindControl("idOfTextBox");
It above statement will find control in the first row of grid which has id idOfTextBox and type is textbox.
You can directly get any value of any control by casting directly, without using an extra textbox or dropdown variable.
Example:
string val = ((TextBox)gridview1.Rows[0].FindControl("TextBox_ID")).Text;
Hope it helps :)
Subscribe the RowDataBound event(this will be fired on each row available in gridview) of gridview and access like stated below,
protected void grdBillingdata_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
//these controls are available inside gridview
HiddenField hdnNagetiveAmt = (HiddenField)e.Row.FindControl("hdnNagetiveAmt");
DropDownList ddlFeeType = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddlFeeType");
TextBox txtFeeDesc = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("txtFeeDesc");
Button btnUpdate = (Button)e.Row.FindControl("btnUpdate");
}
}
not only text box we can get values from all the controls that used inside gridview that placed by using itemTemplate or simply a Bound field .
you need to loop for each row to get the values
foreach (GridViewRow row in grd_popup_details.Rows)
{
//get control values
}

How to avoid repetition of data in Gridview?

In a web application I am binding the data to a GridView. In the GridView some of data is repeating. I want to not display the data again and again.
For example Empid is displaying more than one time in the same column. I want to not display the empid again in that column.
You can implement the OnDataBinding event for the specific column you are using. I never use AutoGenerateColumns so having fine control of each cell is pretty simple to implement.
Eg:
// Create global in your .cs file
string _currentEmpID = string.Empty;
Define your column like:
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Literal ID="ltEmpID" runat="server"
OnDataBinding="ltEmpID_DataBinding" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<!-- Your other columns... -->
</Columns>
Then just implement your DataBinding event:
protected void ltEmpID_DataBinding(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Literal lt = (Literal)(sender);
string empID = Eval("EmpID").ToString();
if (!empID.Equals(_currentEmpID))
{
lt.Text = empID;
_currentEmpID = empID;
}
else
{
lt.Text = string.Empty;
}
}
The RowDataBound forces you to search for controls and if changes are required in the future you have the possibility of breaking other things being modified within the event. Because of this, I prefer to use the control's DataBinding event whenever possible as it localizes functionality to only the control and gives you the flexability to swap out controls and functionality easily without the worry off affecting other things.
If you group your data by the columns you don't want to repeat before binding it to your datasource you can bind an event to RowDataBound and check if the current value equals the previous and then hide the cell.
Check this for an example.
Just add the property AutoGenerateColumns in the gridview and assign it the value of false.
AutoGenerateColumns="false"

ASP.NET DataGrid within a Repeater

I have a table that has two columns:
CommunityID
PersonID
And A "People" table that has (among other things):
FirstName
LastName
I would like to display a different DataGrid for each community, each datagrid having only the people that are part of that community. I would like to do this without using 4 seperate SqlDataSources.
A Repeater looks like a good way, with a DataGrid inside the ItemTemplate, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of getting that to work with the different values for each repetition.
If anyone has any suggestions on better ways to do this, I'd be very appreciative, as this is one of my first forays into the world for ASP.NET
Thanks,
Mike
Personally I wouldn't use a DataGrid control, since it restricts your control over your output and they've been replaced by the newer GridView & ListView controls (although DataGrid is not obsolete so feel free to use it if you want). You may want to consider using the alternatives but you aren't required to do so.
To do what you're looking for, you would have markup like the following:
<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="myRepeater"
onitemdatabound="Repeater_ItemDataBound">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DataGrid runat="server" ID="myDataGrid">
</asp:DataGrid>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
Then you'll wire up the markup with the following code-behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
myRepeater.DataSource = new Object[0];
myRepeater.DataBind();
}
protected void Repeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
DataGrid dg = (DataGrid)e.Item.FindControl("myDataGrid");
object o = e.Item.DataItem;// Cast the DataItem as whatever
// your Repeater's DataSource is
// ...
// Do whatever you need to get the
// data source for your DataGrid here
// ...
dg.DataSource = DataGridSourceObjectHere;
dg.DataBind();
}
The key is the Repeater's ItemDataBound event, which is the method called every time a repeater row is created. This is where you can data bind your DataGrid source. You can put any logic you need to within this method using the RepeaterItemEventArgs parameter to access the data item you bound to your Repeater.
