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 using DataGrid in Asp.net
<asp:DataGrid>
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkDetail" runat="server" OnCheckedChanged="chkDetail_CheckedChanged" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Name" HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="true" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Name") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Name") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
As you can see, there is a Checkbox inside DataGrid.
Everytime I check in checkbox, I would like to fire 2 events
1. Other checkboxes will be unselected (I can do it with JS - so it's ok)
2. Context will store DataGrid Name field like this
protected void chkDetail_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Context["Name"] = ??;
}
Because DataGrid doesn't have "Rows" like GridView, I have no idea how to get the Name from the same row.
Thanks in advance.
DataGridViewRow dgvrows = TrGrid.SelectedRows;
string c = dgvrows.Cells("Late_Time").value.toString();
OR
DataGridViewRow dgvrow = this.dataGridView1.Rows[index];
DataRowView drvrow = (DataRowView)dgvrow.DataBoundItem;
You can try this code
protected void chkDetail_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Context["Name"] = (((sender as CheckBox).NamingContainer as DataGridItem).FindControl("label_id") as Label).Text;
}
Your sender will be a CheckBox as the event is triggered by it.
Every control will have a property called NamingContainer which gives the nearest server control that inherits INamingContainer interface. In your case it is DataGridItem. And you can use FindControl method to find child control and cast it to appropriate control type to access its properties.
I Have a LinkButton In a TemplateField In a GridView. The LinkButton is bound to database which shows the time save in database.All I want is to fetch each linkbutton time value and compare it to current time and if linkbutton time is less than current time ,make it disable.
Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
<asp:GridView ID="grdview" AutoGenerateColumns="false" runat="server" OnRowCommand="grdview_RowCommand">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="AudiName" DataFormatString="Audi {0}" HeaderText="Audi Name" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="StartTime">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkmovietime" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("StartTime") %>'
CommandName="time"
CommandArgument='<%#Eval("AudiID") %>'>
</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hf1" Value='<%#Eval("StartTime")%>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
You can use the OnRowDataBound event to hook into the data binding and disable the button.
Form
<asp:GridView ID="MyGridView"
OnRowDataBound="MyGridView_RowDataBound"
runat="server">
....
</asp:GridView>
CodeBehind
protected void MyGridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// Find the button
var linkButton = (LinkButton) e.Row.FindControl("MyLinkButton");
// Toggle enabled/disabled based on time
// Using the button text is probably a bad idea, but is used here for demonstration purposes
linkButton.Enabled = (Convert.ToDateTime(linkButton.Text) > DateTime.Now);
}
}
The code above has not been tested, but should give you an idea of how you can approach this.
You can set the Enabled property of LinkButton comparing with the current time:
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkmovietime" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("StartTime") %>'
Enabled = '<%# ((DateTime)Eval("StartTime")< DateTime.Now )? false : true %>'
CommandName="time" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("AudiID") %>'>
</asp:LinkButton>
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 want to show "Delete" link in GridView to registred users, therefore I am using templateField:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowSorting="True" OnSorting="GridView_Sort">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Control">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" onClick="deleteEntry()" Text="Delete"></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Now in my deleteEntry() function how can I know anything about the row in which "Delete" link was clicked? How to ge for e.g. rowindex?
You could approach this slightly different. You see, when a control is placed inside a gridview, any event raised from that control raises also the RowCommand on the GridView.
To get what you want you could then add both CommandName and CommandArgument to your LinkButton and then catch it in the GridView's RowCommand.
<asp:LinkButton id="LinkButton1" runat="server" commandName="LinkButtonClicked" commandArgument='Eval("myObjectID")' />
where myObjectID is the name of the ID column of your object you bind the grid to.
Then
void GridView1_RowCommand( object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e )
{
if ( e.CommandName == "LinkButtonClicked" )
{
string id = e.CommandArgument; // this is the ID of the clicked item
}
}
I have one gridview where I am passing the command argument as gridview row id for the Button I created for every row.
I want to display all the details of that row in the textbox according to the Row clicked.
<asp:GridView ID="gvCategory" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
onrowcommand="gvCategory_RowCommand" >
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblCatId" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("categoryId") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblCatName" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("categoryName") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnModify" runat="server" Text="Modify" CommandName="Modify" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("categoryId") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Code.....
if (e.CommandName == "Modify")
{
int id = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
// I want the value to assgin for the selected row here
// I was previously fetching the data from database according id,but i want this frim the gridview of selected row.
}
I wrote a quick example of how to do what you're trying to do. It works for me.
The Example Solution
Default.aspx
<asp:GridView ID="myGridView" runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataSourceID="StudentsDS"
DataKeyNames="ID"
OnRowCommand="myGridView_RowCommand"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="myGridView_SelectedIndexChanged">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" ReadOnly="True"
SortExpression="ID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="FullName" HeaderText="FullName"
SortExpression="FullName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ClassID" HeaderText="ClassID"
SortExpression="ClassID" />
<asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" SelectText="Modify" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtStudent" runat="server" />
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="StudentsDS" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Sandbox %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM Student"
/>
Default.aspx.cs
protected void myGridView_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e) {
if (e.CommandName == "Select") {
// do something here if you want, although not necessary
}
}
protected void myGridView_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// show "FullName" field of selected row in textbox
txtStudent.Text = myGridView.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text;
}
How It Works
Upon clicking "Modify" in a row, the textbox updates to show the FullName field of the selected row.
The important part is that instead of a TemplateField, use a CommandField with ShowSelectButton="True". Then do what you need to do in the SelectedIndexChanged event handler. Note that the SelectText of the CommandField is set to "Modify" as you desired. You can also set the ButtonType property of the CommandField to be button, image, or link.
Making It Better
I would also advise that instead of using a SqlDataSource as I have, you use an ObjectDataSource so that you can do something like
protected void myGridView_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
MyModelObject o = myGridView.SelectedRow.DataItem as MyModelObject;
txtStudent.Text = o.MyProperty;
}
You may also consider wrapping your GridView in an UpdatePanel to prevent full postbacks / page refreshes.
After you have the lineID, you select that line, and then you have the CategoryID on selected value
int iTheIndexNow = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
// select that line to see it visual as selected, and get the value on next line
gvCategory.SelectedIndex = iTheIndexNow;
// here is your categoryID that
//you can use to open your database with and get the text
gvCategory.SelectedValue // == categoryID
On GridView you must have set your KeyID
<asp:GridView DataKeyNames="categoryId" .... >
