I have a dropdown inside the gridview template field.
<asp:templatefield headertext="Bill Period">
<itemtemplate>
<asp:dropdownlist runat="server" id="cboBillPeriod"></asp:dropdownlist>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:templatefield>
I want to populate the dropdown
i could i do it? can any please help me.
You could bind the dropdown in OnRowDataBound event of GridView as follow:
GridView:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnRowDataBound="OnRowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Name" DataField="ContactName" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText = "Country">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblCountry" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Country") %>' Visible = "false" />
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountries" runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Code Behind:
With the help of FindControl method you will be able to get the dropdown control and then you could play with that control.
protected void OnRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
//Find the DropDownList in the Row
DropDownList ddlCountries = (e.Row.FindControl("ddlCountries") as DropDownList);
ddlCountries.DataSource = GetData("SELECT DISTINCT Country FROM Customers");
ddlCountries.DataTextField = "Country";
ddlCountries.DataValueField = "Country";
ddlCountries.DataBind();
//Add Default Item in the DropDownList
ddlCountries.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Please select"));
// Select the Country of Customer in DropDownList
string country = (e.Row.FindControl("lblCountry") as Label).Text;
ddlCountries.Items.FindByValue(country).Selected = true;
}
}
You can use this for your dropdown in your gridview.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Item Condition" HeaderStyle-Width="80px" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" ItemStyle-Width="40px>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlConditions" runat="server" >
</asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Under your grid "RowDataBound" event, you will bind your dropdown in code behind using dropdown id.
DropDownList ddlConditions2 = (e.Row.FindControl("ddlConditions") as DropDownList);
DataTable dt = _reader.GetDataTableByCommandFromStoredProc("getYourDropdownData");
ddlConditions2.DataSource = dt;
ddlConditions2.DataTextField = "ConditionName";
ddlConditions2.DataValueField = "Id";
ddlConditions2.DataBind();
ddlConditions2.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select--", "0"));
You have to use RowDataBound event of grid view. For more Check that Link.
In Rowdatabound event of Gridview, try to bind your drop-down.

I have a Gridview with a column that has a DropDownList.
I've binded this Dropdownlist with an event on the "SelectedIndexChanged".
The problem is i can't get the value of a label of another column in the same row.
The code is the next:
protected void grid_OnSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
grdCredenciales.DataBind();
var dropdown = (DropDownList)sender;
var row = (GridViewRow)dropdown.NamingContainer;
var label = (Label)row.FindControl("lblMatricula");
var value = label.Text; // I get "" in this line.
}
And in the grid i have:
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="CredencialesDS" runat="server" />
<asp:GridView ID="grdCredenciales" runat="server" BackColor="White" DataSourceID="CredencialesDS"
CssClass="DDGridView" RowStyle-CssClass="td" HeaderStyle-CssClass="th" CellPadding="6" AllowSorting="True"
AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" PageSize="10" OnRowDataBound="grdCredenciales_OnRowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label7" ToolTip="Matrícula" runat="server" Text="Matrícula"/>
</HeaderTemplate>
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" Width="15%"/>
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblMatricula" runat="server"><%# Eval("Matricula") %></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label19" ToolTip="Estado" runat="server" Text="Estado" />
</HeaderTemplate>
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" Width="15%"/>
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="dpEstadoCredencial" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="grid_OnSelectedIndexChanged" CssClass="comboEstado"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I don't know why, but label.text returns an empty string. As you can see, i am calling the DataBind before, so the label should have a value at this point.
Do you know how can i get the value i need from the label in another column?
Thanks for everyone.
Check the GridView's DataSource before you do the DataBind(). Since you're missing the full ASPX markup, I'm not sure if you're setting the data source programmatically or with a SqlDataSource.
In any case, what will happen often with programmatically-set Data Sources is that they disappear on a PostBack, and when you call that DataBind, you're really DataBinding it to null, which would explain why you're getting string.Empty ("") for the Label's Text property.
Just verified the code provided by you. It's working completely.
Please make sure in the RowDataBound event of Grid View, you reattach the dropdownlist's SelectedIndexChanged event as below:
protected void CustomersGridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsPostBack)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
DropDownList ddl = e.Row.FindControl("dropdown1") as DropDownList;
if (ddl != null)
{
ddl.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(CustomersGridView_SelectedIndexChanged);
}
}
}
}
Also, I used the same code as yours in SelectedIndexChanged event. I'm putting here my aspx Markup:
<asp:gridview id="CustomersGridView"
datasourceid="CustomersSqlDataSource"
autogeneratecolumns="false"
runat="server"
OnRowDataBound="CustomersGridView_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="Label2" Text='<%# Bind("ID") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="dropdown1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="dropdown1_SelectedIndexChanged">
<asp:ListItem Text="Cat"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="dog"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="Mouse"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="pig"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="snake"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:gridview>
Please provide your GridView markup too for checking.
I have web form with a GridView and a few controls in the GridView. I have a DropDownList in the EdtItemTemplate of the gridview.
I am needing to bind this DropDownList with some method in my CodeBehind File that returns a Array of type LisItems.
The problem I am facing is this. Since the Control is sitting in the EditItemTemplate, using the FindControl("MyControlID") does not seem to work in any of the GridView events, it returns null, in other words it cannot seem to find the control, unless I use the OnRowUpdating event, but I cannot use this event as the Control needs to be Data binded before that.
Is there anyway I can use the <%# Bind("MyMethodName") %> to bind the control?
Try this
Create a class of your data in App_Code, Like this
public static class Fruits
{
public static List<string> GetFruits()
{
return new string[] { "Apple", "Mango", "Banana", "Grapes" }.ToList();
}
}
Add a grid to your page, Which I guess you all ready have
<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="grid" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnRowEditing="grid_RowEditing">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Selected Fruit">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="Fruit" Text='<%# Eval("Fruits") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="fruits" DataSourceID="fruitsDS" />
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Edit">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnEdit" Text="Edit" CommandName="Edit" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
And add an Object Datasource to bind your DropDowns of edit template
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="fruitsDS" runat="server" SelectMethod="GetFruits" TypeName="Fruits" />
Hope this could help.
Try this
protected void RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Edit)
{
DropDownList dl = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("myList");
dl.DataSource = new string[] { "A", "B" };
dl.DataBind();
}
}
gridview rowdatabound will use to bind the data to dropdown in gridview.
DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddlcity");
ddl.DataSource = s;
I am having a grid view created by using template fields. I inserted a link button using template fields in the grid view.
There are 4 textboxes outside the GridView.. i want to select the row on link button's click and put the selected row's data in text boxes. I am using a row command even for this but its not working ... the syntax i am using is .:
<asp:GridView ID="gview" AutoGenerateColumns="False" runat="server" CellPadding="4"
ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" onrowcommand="gview_RowCommand">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Book Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<%#Eval("book_name") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Book Author">
<ItemTemplate>
<%#Eval("book_author") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Book Publisher">
<ItemTemplate>
<%#Eval("book_Publisher") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Book Price">
<ItemTemplate>
<%#Eval("book_Price") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Update">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkDet" CommandName="cmdBind" CommandArgument="<%# ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>" runat="server" CausesValidation="false">View Details</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
and Code behind file :
protected void gview_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "cmdBind")
{
LinkButton lb = (LinkButton)e.CommandSource;
int index = Convert.ToInt32(lb.CommandArgument);
//Bind values in the text box of the pop up control
txt_name.Text = gview.Rows[index].Cells[0].Text;
txt_author.Text = gview.Rows[index].Cells[1].Text;
txt_price.Text = gview.Rows[index].Cells[2].Text;
}
}
Can anyone tell me how to do this.
I think this works:
protected void gview_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e){
if (e.CommandName == "cmdBind")
{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
//Bind values in the text box of the pop up control
txt_name.Text = gview.Rows[index].Cells[0].Text;
txt_author.Text = gview.Rows[index].Cells[1].Text;
txt_price.Text = gview.Rows[index].Cells[2].Text;
}}
Attempting it the way you are is not impossible, but it may be easier to just use the in built select buttons for each row. That way you can just use the SelectedIndexChanged event of the gridview:
protected void gview_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txt_name.Text = gview.SelectedRow.Cells[0].Text;
txt_author.Text = gview.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text;
txt_price.Text = gview.SelectedRow.Cells[2].Text;
}
I have a Gridview with template fields conatining drop down lists. I need to populate the dropdownlists with a sql statement. My gridview code is as such:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Ledger">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlItemTempLedger" runat="server" Width="61px">
</asp:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="75px" />
</asp:TemplateField>
And the sql statement I need to populate it with is this:
SELECT V_VendorNo + '|' + V-VendorName FROM VendorTbl
Can anyone assist me with this?
You will not to get the dropdownlist in RowDataBound event of grid and assign datasource to it and bind it.
protected void GrdViewUsers_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
DropDownList ddlItemTempLedger = e.Row.FindControl("ddlItemTempLedger ") as DropDownList ;
ddlItemTempLedger.DataSource = dt; //DataTable from database
ddlItemTempLedger.DataTextField = "FieldForTextInDataTabledt";
ddlItemTempLedger.DataValueField = "FieldForValueInDataTabledt";
ddlItemTempLedger.DataBind();
}
}
I'm having trouble with a DropDownList within a GridView that posts a NULL value when in fact a value is selected from the list when using inline editing.
The problem is that I can't use this method to bind the value to the UpdateCommand in my SqlDataSource:
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("Value") %>'
The reason for this is because the value might not exist in the list so it throws an exception.
Is there a way I can bind the value to the UpdateCommand without using SelectedValue?
Thanks in advanced.
You may use RowDataBound to set SelectedValue;
in .cs file
protected void Grid_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
GridView grid = (GridView)sender;
DropDownList DropDownList1 = (e.Row.FindControl("DropDownList1") as DropDownList);
HiddenField HiddenField1 = (e.Row.FindControl("HiddenField1") as HiddenField);
DropDownList1.SelectedValue = HiddenField1.Value;
}
in .aspx file;
<Columns>
...
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Column Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Value") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField1" runat="server" Value='<%# Bind("Value") %>'></asp:HiddenField>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
...
</asp:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
