You need to wrap the code in Page_Load in if(!IsPostback){}:
EDIT :
Edited to create second grid at postback.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(!IsPostBack)
{
gvFirst.DataSource = GetData("select top 10 * from Project_Master");
gvFirst.DataBind();
}
else
{
CreateSecondGridView();
}
}
And your Rowdatabound may look like this:
protected void gvFirst_OnRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
CreateSecondGridView();
}
protected void CreateSecondGridView()
{
foreach(GridViewRow row in gvFirst.Rows)
{
if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
string customerId = gvFirst.DataKeys[row.RowIndex].Value.ToString();
GridView gvSecond = row.FindControl("gvSecond") as GridView;
DataTable dt= GetData1(Convert.ToInt32(customerId));
foreach (DataColumn col in dt.Columns)
{
//Declare the bound field and allocate memory for the bound field.
TemplateField bfield = new TemplateField();
//Initalize the DataField value.
bfield.HeaderTemplate = new GridViewTemplate(ListItemType.Header, col.ColumnName);
//Initialize the HeaderText field value.
bfield.ItemTemplate = new GridViewTemplate(ListItemType.Item, col.ColumnName);
//Add the newly created bound field to the GridView.
gvSecond.Columns.Add(bfield);
}
TotalColumns = dt.Columns.Count;
gvSecond.DataSource = dt;
gvSecond.DataBind();
}
}
}
I want to findcontrol on griview after DDL OnSelectedIndexChanged event. where the target control is on the rowindex where the DDL is located..
here my codes;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ArrayList Dummysource = new ArrayList() { "AA", "BB", "CC", "DD" };
if(!IsPostBack )
{
GridView1.DataSource = Dummysource;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
}
protected void ddlsample_OnSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string valueComponent = (sender as DropDownList).SelectedItem.Value;
Label1.Text = valueComponent;
}
int ddlvalue;
protected void GridView1_OnRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
//Checking whether the Row is Data Row
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
//Finding the Dropdown control.
DropDownList ddlsample = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddlsample");
Label ilbldata = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lbldata");
if (ddlsample != null)
{
switch(ilbldata.Text)
{
case "AA":
ddlvalue = 2;
break;
case "BB":
ddlvalue = 3;
break;
case "CC":
ddlvalue = 4;
break;
case "DD":
ddlvalue = 5;
break;
}
for (int i = 1; i <= ddlvalue; i++ )
{
ddlsample.Items.Add(i.ToString() );
}
}
}
}
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridView gv = sender as GridView;
gv = GridView1;
Label foo = gv.SelectedRow.FindControl("lbldata") as Label ;
Label2.Text = foo.Text;
}
the code get the value of the DropDownList selected Item. I'm Wondering on how to get the component value in the gridview. after selectedindexchange event of DDL
I made some visual photo for more clear
http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b493/Kasparov1/GridviewDDL_zps3721fb97.png
thanks in advance;
Try this
protected void ddlsample_OnSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)sender;
Label1.Text = ddl.SelectedItem.Value;
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)ddl.NamingContainer;
// Find your control
Control control = row.FindControl("myControl");
}
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
DropDownList drop = GridView1.Controls[0].Controls[0].FindControl("DropDownList1") as DropDownList;
string text = drop.Items[drop.SelectedIndex].ToString();
//Find FooterRow Control
DropDownList dT = GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("DropDownList1") as DropDownList;
string text = dT.Items[dT.SelectedIndex].ToString();
}
protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)//DropDownList1 in GridVied
{
//Find FooterRow Control
DropDownList drop = GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("DropDownList1") as DropDownList;
string text = drop.Items[drop.SelectedIndex].ToString();
//find normal DropDownList1
DropDownList drop1 = GridView1.FindControl("DropDownList1") as DropDownList;
string text = drop1.Items[drop1.SelectedIndex].ToString();
}
//ADD list in GRIDVIEW dropdownlist at run time
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("DropDownList1");//Gridview DropDownList
ddl.Items.Add("- - Select - -");
ddl.Items.Add(new ListItem("ABCD"));
ddl.Items.Add(new ListItem("EFGH"));
}
I use an gridview empty datasource for bulk insert, how would I prepopulate for instance Column A with the value of a drop down box? So far I have below, but its not working
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
TextBox tb = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("YourTextBoxID");
if(tb != null)
{
tb.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text;
}
}
}
I don't understand what you mean with empty DataSource. I assume that you actully mean a DataSource which is populated automatically with a default value.
You could use a DataTable:
var tbl = new DataTable();
tbl.Columns.Add("ColumnA");
var defText = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text;
for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
tbl.Rows.Add(defText);
}
GridView1.DataSource = tbl;
GridView1.DataBind();
I am having a gridview in asp.net and now I want the cell value by the column name but not by the cell index.
How would be it possible by retrieving the cell value by the cell column name
GridView does not act as column names, as that's it's datasource property to know those things.
If you still need to know the index given a column name, then you can create a helper method to do this as the gridview Header normally contains this information.
int GetColumnIndexByName(GridViewRow row, string columnName)
{
int columnIndex = 0;
foreach (DataControlFieldCell cell in row.Cells)
{
if (cell.ContainingField is BoundField)
if (((BoundField)cell.ContainingField).DataField.Equals(columnName))
break;
columnIndex++; // keep adding 1 while we don't have the correct name
}
return columnIndex;
}
remember that the code above will use a BoundField... then use it like:
protected void GridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
int index = GetColumnIndexByName(e.Row, "myDataField");
string columnValue = e.Row.Cells[index].Text;
}
}
I would strongly suggest that you use the TemplateField to have your own controls, then it's easier to grab those controls like:
<asp:GridView ID="gv" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
and then use
string columnValue = ((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblName")).Text;
Although its a long time but this relatively small piece of code seems easy to read and get:
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int index;
string cellContent;
foreach (TableCell tc in ((GridView)sender).HeaderRow.Cells)
{
if( tc.Text.Equals("yourColumnName") )
{
index = ((GridView)sender).HeaderRow.Cells.GetCellIndex(tc);
cellContent = ((GridView)sender).SelectedRow.Cells[index].Text;
break;
}
}
}
You can use the DataRowView to get the column index.
void OnRequestsGridRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
var data = e.Row.DataItem as DataRowView;
// replace request name with a link
if (data.DataView.Table.Columns["Request Name"] != null)
{
// get the request name
string title = data["Request Name"].ToString();
// get the column index
int idx = data.Row.Table.Columns["Request Name"].Ordinal;
// ...
e.Row.Cells[idx].Controls.Clear();
e.Row.Cells[idx].Controls.Add(link);
}
}
}
For Lambda lovers
protected void GridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
var boundFields = e.Row.Cells.Cast<DataControlFieldCell>()
.Select(cell => cell.ContainingField).Cast<BoundField>().ToList();
int idx = boundFields.IndexOf(
boundFields.FirstOrDefault(f => f.DataField == "ColName"));
e.Row.Cells[idx].Text = modification;
}
}
Based on something found on Code Project
Once the data table is declared based on the grid's data source, lookup the column index by column name from the columns collection. At this point, use the index as needed to obtain information from or to format the cell.
protected void gridMyGrid_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
DataTable dt = (DataTable)((GridView)sender).DataSource;
int colIndex = dt.Columns["MyColumnName"].Ordinal;
e.Row.Cells[colIndex].BackColor = Color.FromName("#ffeb9c");
}
}
Header Row cells sometimes will not work. This will just return the column Index. It will help in a lot of different ways. I know this is not the answer he is requesting. But this will help for a lot people.
public static int GetColumnIndexByHeaderText(GridView gridView, string columnName)
{
for (int i = 0; i < gridView.Columns.Count ; i++)
{
if (gridView.Columns[i].HeaderText.ToUpper() == columnName.ToUpper() )
{
return i;
}
}
return -1;
}
A little bug with indexcolumn in alexander's answer:
We need to take care of "not found" column:
int GetColumnIndexByName(GridViewRow row, string columnName)
{
int columnIndex = 0;
int foundIndex=-1;
foreach (DataControlFieldCell cell in row.Cells)
{
if (cell.ContainingField is BoundField)
{
if (((BoundField)cell.ContainingField).DataField.Equals(columnName))
{
foundIndex=columnIndex;
break;
}
}
columnIndex++; // keep adding 1 while we don't have the correct name
}
return foundIndex;
}
and
protected void GridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
int index = GetColumnIndexByName(e.Row, "myDataField");
if( index>0)
{
string columnValue = e.Row.Cells[index].Text;
}
}
}
We can get it done in one line of code. No need to loop through anything or call other methods.
protected void GridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
string cellValue = e.Row.Cells[e.Row.Cells.GetCellIndex(e.Row.Cells.Cast<DataControlFieldCell>().FirstOrDefault(cell => cell.ContainingField.HeaderText == "columnName"))].Text;
}
}
//get the value of a gridview
public string getUpdatingGridviewValue(GridView gridviewEntry, string fieldEntry)
{//start getGridviewValue
//scan gridview for cell value
string result = Convert.ToString(functionsOther.getCurrentTime());
for(int i = 0; i < gridviewEntry.HeaderRow.Cells.Count; i++)
{//start i for
if(gridviewEntry.HeaderRow.Cells[i].Text == fieldEntry)
{//start check field match
result = gridviewEntry.Rows[rowUpdateIndex].Cells[i].Text;
break;
}//end check field match
}//end i for
//return
return result;
}//end getGridviewValue
It is possible to use the data field name, if not the title so easily, which solved the problem for me. For ASP.NET & VB:
e.g. For a string:
Dim Encoding = e.Row.DataItem("Encoding").ToString().Trim()
e.g. For an integer:
Dim MsgParts = Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.DataItem("CalculatedMessageParts").ToString())
protected void CheckedRecords(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string email = string.Empty;
foreach (GridViewRow gridrows in GridView1.Rows)
{
CheckBox chkbox = (CheckBox)gridrows.FindControl("ChkRecords");
if (chkbox != null & chkbox.Checked)
{
int columnIndex = 0;
foreach (DataControlFieldCell cell in gridrows.Cells)
{
if (cell.ContainingField is BoundField)
if (((BoundField)cell.ContainingField).DataField.Equals("UserEmail"))
break;
columnIndex++;
}
email += gridrows.Cells[columnIndex].Text + ',';
}
}
Label1.Text = "email:" + email;
}
protected void gvResults_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var gridView = (GridView)sender;
gridView.GetColumnByName("YourDataBoundDataField").Visible = true;
}
Extension:
public static DataControlField GetColumnByName(this GridView gridView, string columnName)
{
int columnIndex = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < gridView.Columns.Count; i++)
{
if (gridView.Columns[i].HeaderText.Trim().Equals(columnName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
columnIndex = i;
break;
}
}
if (columnIndex == -1)
{
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("GridViewRow does not have the column with name: " + columnName);
}
return gridView.Columns[columnIndex];
}
The primary reason this would be difficult is because gridview cells do not have accessible cell names (ugh).
In order to work around this handicap you can make an extension method (mine is in VB.NET, but #Дмитрийh seems to have a similar solution in C#).
To work around this ensure the HeaderText of the gridview cells have the same value as the cellnames and grab the values via that HeaderText name.
Here is extension methods you would need for strings and integers in a VB.NET code snippet that I made
Public Shared Function GetStringByCellName(pGridViewRow As GridViewRow, pCellName As String) As String
For Each myCell As DataControlFieldCell In pGridViewRow.Cells
If myCell.ContainingField.ToString() = pCellName Then
Return myCell.Text
End If
Next
Return Nothing
End Function
And the difference for integers being a parse/cast
Public Shared Function GetIntegerByCellName(pGridViewRow As GridViewRow, pCellName As String) As Integer
For Each myCell As DataControlFieldCell In pGridViewRow.Cells
If myCell.ContainingField.ToString() = pCellName Then
Return Integer.Parse(myCell.Text)
End If
Next
Return Nothing
End Function
And calling the functions would look like this if it were in a class.
Dim columnNamesStringValue As String = ExtensionMethodsClassName.GetStringByCellName(pGridViewRow, "stringOfColumnName")
Dim columnNamesIntegerValue As Integer = ExtensionMethodsClassName.GetIntegerByCellName(pGridViewRow, "stringOfColumnName")
have in mind that you may not always get a value, and instead may get Nothing
Before you (perhaps try to put the value in your database), ensure it is not nothing first by checking that it is not nothing. If you wanted to insert into the database, however, it may be better to return a System.DBNull instead of Nothing from the extension methods I provided.
(DO NOT CHECK AND INSERT THE OTHER NULLS or Nothing AS DBNull'S. DIFFERENT TYPES OF NULL'S AND NOTHINGS ARE NOT EQUAL)
If (columnNamesStringValue IsNot Nothing)
I am using the following code:
foreach (GridViewRow dr in gvrejectreq.Rows)
{
DropDownList ddl=(DropDownList)gvrejectreq.Rows[dr.RowIndex].FindControl("DropDownList1");
string status = ddl.SelectedValue;
int userid = gvrejectreq.Rows[dr.RowIndex].
}
If I understand what you're asking...you don't need to loop...
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(Object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e){
if (e.CommandName == "thiscommandname") {
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
GridViewRow selectedRow = ((GridView)e.CommandSource).Rows[index];
//and then for example...
string rowText = (LinkButton)selectedRow.Cells[0].Controls[0]).Text;}
}
