How to databind a repeater from stored procedure? - asp.net

Question

I'm trying to databind my repeater but so far not having any luck. Anyone think that can show me where I'm going wrong? I have two functions at the moment by following some tutorials/examples but I was hoping to have just one... maybe not possible. Thanks!
HTML:
<ItemTemplate>
<tr class="row">
<td><asp:Label ID="TitleLabel" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label></td>
<td><asp:Label ID="NameLabel" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label></td>
<td><asp:Label ID="PhoneLabel" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label></td>
<td><asp:Label ID="EmailLabel" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
VB
Protected Sub BindData()
Dim oCommand As SqlCommand
Dim oReader As SqlDataReader
Try
oCommand = DataAccess.GetSQLCommand("People_Retrieve", CommandType.StoredProcedure, SourceServer.ConnectionLocal)
oCommand.Connection.ChangeDatabase("MyDatabase")
oCommand.CommandTimeout() = 9000
oReader = oCommand.ExecuteReader()
PeopleRepeater.DataSource = oReader
PeopleRepeater.DataBind()
Catch ex As Exception
ErrorHandler.HandleError(ex)
Finally
oReader.Close()
oReader = Nothing
End Try
End Sub
Protected Sub PeopleRepeater_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles PeopleRepeater.ItemDataBound
Dim NameLabel As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("LabelName"), Label)
NameLabel.Text = e.Item.DataItem("Name")
Dim TitleLabel As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("TitleName"), Label)
NameLabel.Text = e.Item.DataItem("Title")
Dim PhoneLabel As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("PhoneName"), Label)
NameLabel.Text = e.Item.DataItem("Phone")
Dim EmailLabel As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("EmailName"), Label)
NameLabel.Text = e.Item.DataItem("Email")
End Sub

Answer 1

Use a SqlDataAdapter:
Using adap As New SqlDataAdapter(oCommand)
Dim table As New DataTable()
adap.Fill(table)
PeopleRepeater.DataSource = table
PeopleRepeater.DataBind()
End Using
I don't see where you're opening the connection either, so you might need to add that:
oCommand.Connection.Open()

Follow the steps
Create the stored procedure named as 'SelectPersonalDetails'
CREATE PROCEDURE SelectPersonalDetails
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
#Email SYSNAME
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
BEGIN
SELECT Name,Title,Phone,Email FROM PersonalDetails
WHERE
Email = #Email
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
DECLARE #ERR AS VARCHAR(500)
SELECT #ERR = ERROR_MESSAGE()
RAISERROR(#ERR,16,1)
RETURN
END CATCH
END
Create dataset in order to bind the data in the repeater.
public DataSet Get_PersonaldetailbasedEmail()
{
try
{
DataSet oDS = new DataSet();
SqlParameter[] oParam = new SqlParameter[1];
oParam[0] = new SqlParameter("#Email", _sEmail);
oDS = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(DataConnectionString, CommandType.StoredProcedure, "SelectPersonalDetails", oParam);
return oDS;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
ErrorMessage = e.Message;
return null;
}
}
Note: (i) SelectPersonalDetails is the stored procedure name
(ii) In order to select unique record from the table i have used emailid
(iii) I have assume the table name as PersonalDetails.
Create a user control page something like Personeldetails.ascx
/li>
/li>
/li>
/li>
Note above i have the html code for repeater but i don't know how to work around in this editor. anyways repeater id is same as your repeater and label ids are same as your label id.
Databind
Create a function to bind the data
public void FillArray(ArrayList alist)
{
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
foreach (Object objRow in alist)
{
string sTitle = ((DataRow)objRow)["Title"].ToString();
string sName = ((DataRow)objRow)["Name"].ToString();
string sPhone = ((DataRow)objRow)["Phone"].ToString();
string sMail = ((DataRow)objRow)["Mail"].ToString();
al.Add(new string[]{ sTitle,sName,sPhone,sMail});
}
PeopleRepeater.DataSource = al;
PeopleRepeater.DataBind();
}
Now called Item databound
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
string[] itemArray = ((string[])e.Item.DataItem);
Label myTitle = (Lable)e.Item.FindControl("TitleLabel");
Label myName = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("NameLabel");
Label myPhone = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("PhoneLabel");
Label myEmail = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("EmailLabel");
myTitle.Text = itemArray[0];
myName.Text = itemArray[1];
myPhone.Text = itemArray[2];
myEmail.Text = itemArray[3];
}
