I have a telerik radgrid with a GridTemplateColumn as seen below in a C# ASP.NET 4.0 webform.
As you can see, in the EditItemTemplate I am using a RadComboBox with an id number for DataValueField and a human readable text for DataTextField.
My question is, how can I change the Text in my ItemTemplate to show the human readable value instead of the Id? The value Alias1 comes from the grid datasource and it is the Id.
Thank you for any help you can provide!
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Alias1" Display="true" DataField="Alias1" HeaderText="Alias1" SortExpression="Alias1">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblField30" CssClass="text" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Alias1") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox16" runat="server" Skin="Outlook" Height="150" DataSourceID="SqlDataSourceAliasOptions" DataTextField="aliasText" DataValueField="aliasid" SelectedValue='<%#Bind("Alias1") %>'>
</telerik:RadComboBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
You need to change ItemTemplate binding like this:
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblField30" CssClass="text" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("aliasText") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
Of course your binded entity must have "aliasText" property. If you are binding something like DataTable make sure that contains "aliasText" column.

I have a collection of records, each record has an ID and a description.
Now in my formview I have 8 textboxes and I want each text box to hold description
of each record.
So if I do this
Text='<%# Eval("Record[0].Description") %>' />
This gives an error, any other way to do it?
Also can I do it in the markup, or do I need to do it in code behind, under databound method for the formview?
Thanks..
FormView is not meant for showing List of Data.
If you have a List of Data, then you should use GridView or ListView.
Bind your FormView with a datasource having single record and then directly Eval the fields of the datasource.
i.e. do this:
<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSourceId">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox id="txtDescription"
Text='<%# Eval("Description") %>' />
<asp:TextBox id="txtName"
Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' />
..
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
so basically, your FormView should contain different DataField and it should be bound to a DataSource having just one Item.
You could use a repeater inside:
<asp:repeater ID="rep" runat="server" DataSource='<%# Eval("Record") &>'>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:textbox id="txt" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Description") &>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>
In the repeater you will bind to your outer datasource, inside the repeater your datacontext is the record
I am using a label control in ItemTemplate tag in TemplateField tag in Gridview Control to show a field of data of my database .
I want if a length of data is higher than 100 charachter the label control doens't show all of data.
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="label4" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Description") %>' Width="200px" Font-Names="B Nazanin" EnableTheming="false" Height="24px" BorderStyle="Dashed"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
What should I do ?
This is the simplest approach:
Text='<%# Eval("Description").ToString().Substring(0, 100) %>'
Figure there is a simple solution to this problem but I have been unable to find it.
I have databinding in an ASP.Net application to a GridView. This gridview is bound to an ObjectDataSource as per standard usage.
The problem I have is that one of my bound fields uses the property DataFormatString="{0:C}" and due to the currency format being displayed when an update is attempted and the object recreated I get a error as such "$13.00 is not a valid value for Decimal."
Clearly this is a result of the column using a FormatString and then attempting to bind it back to a decimal property I have in my object called UnitPrice.
I am assuming there is some markup I can set that can specify how the value is translated back?
Thanks in advance for any help.
For anyone curious the solution ended up looking like this...
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
UnitPrice
</HeaderTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblEditItem" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("UnitPrice", "{0:#,##0.00}") %>' Enabled="false" ></asp:Label>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("UnitPrice", "{0:c}") %>' ID="lblUnitPrice"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Do not include the format string in the EditItemTemplate. Just bind the raw value.
Something like this:
<asp:TemplateField SortExpression="UnitPrice" HeaderText="Unit Price">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="editUnitPrice" Runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("UnitPrice", "{0:#,##0.00}") %>' ></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("UnitPrice", "{0:c}") %>' ID="Label1"> </asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Apologies for the newbie question. My client wishes me to make a small change to the gridview on his http://www.flogitdonegal.com/SearchPage.aspx page.
Note the way the Title column is a hyperlink to view more information. This comes from a 'BriefDescription' field in the database.
How can I add 250 chars from the 'FullDescription' underneath the Title in the same cell, but I dont want it be a hyperlink.
Essentially it will be 2 fields coming into the same column.
Thanks in advance for all help.

If this is using a GridView you are most likely using a TemplateField as it is to display the HyperLink.
Within the ItemTemplate of the TemplateField you can specify an additional Label underneath using something as follows:
<asp:Label runat="server" id="FullDescLabel" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FullDescription") %>' />
You need to use the TemplateField and here is a tutorial that explains some of the other fields that GridView offers as well.
<asp:GridView ID="gvwCompounds" runat="server" DataSourceID="objItemsFromYourDB">
<Columns>
....
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate HeaderText="Title">
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" ID="Hperlink1" NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("BriefDescriptionUrl") %>' Text='<%# Eval("BriefDescription") %>' />
<br />
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="Label1" Text='<%# Eval("FullDescription") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
....
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I've got a text box that just disappeared. When I add another templateField anywhere on the page, this one bizarelly disappears. Anyone know what might be up?
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Summary" SortExpression="summary">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblSummary" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("summary") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSummary" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="500" Height="100" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("summary") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I hope you don't take this wrong, and I mean no offense, but it seems like you're missing some of the basic concepts and need a good place to learn them.
Please check out the following article so that you fully understand how to use TemplateFields as opposed to a normal BoundField or a Command field. I think once you "get" it, your disappearing item issues will clear up because you'll be able to see it on your own.

You can't have more than one ItemTemplate in a TemplateField. You can have an EditItemTemplate and an ItemTemplate, though...
Edit - Added
The ItemTemplate shows when you're in normal display mode.
The EditItemTemplate shows when you're in edit mode
InsertItemTemplate shows when you're in Insert mode.
For any column in a GridView (or field in a FormView or field in a DetailsView) there can only be one TemplateField.
Within that TemplateField, there can only be one ItemTemplate, one EditItemTemplate, and one InsertItemTemplate (and not all three are required but all three are recommended.)
If you want the TextBox to show up next to the label in the normal non-edit mode, you would put the text box within the existing ItemTemplate as follows:
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblSummary" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("summary") %>'>
</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSummary" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="500" Height="100" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("summary") %>'>
</asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
However, the norm is to have the label when in read mode, and a text box when in edit or update mode like shown below:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Summary" SortExpression="summary">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblSummary" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("summary") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSummary" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="500" Height="100" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("summary") %>'>
</asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSummary" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="500" Height="100" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("summary") %>'>
</asp:TextBox>
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
You have multiple "ItemTemplate" declarations in there. There should be only one.
