I'm having an issue with the aspxgridview control. I have an aspxcombobox which allows the user to set a page size. Can anyone provide a proper example to achieve this. I've had it almost working but I get issues where the rows turn out to be blank.
My report is generated by clicking the a button, and I would also like them to change the page size without regenerating the report using callback
You will find this example available at:
How to create a custom pager for the ASPxGridView with the "Selecting a page size" feature
Please note, the ASPxGridView is a pure server side control, and thus you won't be able to change its PageSize property without sending a request to the server.
GridView1.PageSize = 3;
GridView1.DataBind();

I need to have datagrid(3 columns) to which the values will be added using 3 textboxes and a button(Add) on the same page. If click on Add button the value should append to datagrid without page refresh/reload?
Please guide me with your approaches to this problem? I ran out of search.
Have you considered using Ajax on the client-side? I presume that clicking the "Add" button is also supposed to update something on the back-end, which means you must do a round-trip of some kind. Either via a postback, but since you don't want this, then the only other option is Ajax whereby you'll make a separate asynchronous post to the back-end that will not cause a page refresh, and on the client script, inject the correct elements to "update" the grid on-screen. You could get that working as a prototype and then use knockout to simplfy the process.
1) I have used iframe in my default aspx page.
2) Created a new aspx page "datagrid.aspx" and had my datagrid as the only control in that page and set the src attribute of iframe to "datagrid.aspx"
3) Datatable to be rendered in datagrid.aspx is stored in the session variable in page load of default.aspx.
4) In the pageload of datagrid.aspx datatable is retrieved and binded to the datagrid.
5) When an item to be added/updated/removed are sent through querystring parameters from default.aspx using onclick event (JS) of a html button by setting the iframe source attribute.
Hope this answer helps.
If its not clear, Please comment.
I have a custom server control (composite control having dynamically created dropdown boxes and textboxes). I have enabled AJAX in order to avoid page reload.The server control is used inside the ASP.NET webcontrol having few buttons which controls the visibility of the server control. Now I enter values in the dropdown box and texboxes and click on any other button. After this postback the last entered values are gone! The control is not remembering the values. Can anyone help me? How can I retain the values after post back?
Ensure that the controls are given the exact same ID after each postback. Also you might want to try initialising your dynamic controls (DropDownList and TextBox) during Page_Init if possible.
If your custom server control is create dynamically all the controls, then you need to recreate them on every post, and you need to create them before the Page_Load(), or else the asp.net cant know them to filled with the post data.
To solve this, if you can not create them before the Page_Load(), then you can fill them by your self with the posted data by using the Request.Form[YourCustomControl.UniqueID] for all controls.
You need to re-create on each postback, see This article
In a ASP.NET application I have a paging RadGrid which shows up textbox in each row. Outside the grid, there is an OK button to save the content of all the textbox. If user changes text in any one or more of the textbox and without clicking on the "OK" button, tries to move to a different page number (of the grid by clicking on the page number), he should be prompted for confirmation of save or cancel the changes.
I am guessing that one can write a Javascript function which would look for any form input control (textbox in my case) and detect changes and If there are changes, would prompt the user. However, I am not sure where I can call this function from? Any suggestion on this or a better way to achieve this would be appreciated.
I am using RadGrid but I guess this should be applicable to GridView as well.
I am not sure if this will help exactly but it might at least give you an idea:http://www.codeproject.com/KB/ajax/ajaxdirtypanelextender.aspx
So i have an ASP.NET GridView control in which each column is a 'BoundField'. I did not create a TemplateField(ItemTemplate/EditItemTemplate), because i was planning on using JQuery to convert the BoundField row to a 'Edit' field by just converting the text in each cell to a textbox or textarea when that row was clicked. This is done all client side.
So far all the client side stuff works great. But I have a 'Save' button on each row of the grid that triggers an eventhandler on the server side. In that server side method, i try to grab values of that current row, but they are all the OLD cell values before I modified the fields/data using jquery/javascript.
When i iterate through each cell of the row, it's the same state as it was when it was rendered.
So what i'm trying to understand is. Why do all of this fancy javascript/jquery stuff when the state of the Grid stays exactly as it was when it was rendered when posting back to the server ?
someone please shed some light on this!!!
Thanks!
The GridView controls uses ViewState to persist its state between postbacks. When you do a postback it loads its previous state from the ViewState. Changes that you do via client-side Javascript are ignored. This is simply how the control works.
If you want to keep using the GridView control with inline editing, the easiest option would be to move to edit mode via a postback.
Another option is to have the fields in each row to begin with, only hidden. Then, you could show them via Javascript. You'll be able to access the values on the server.
Yet another option is not use a postback but an Ajax call, so that the grid is not re-rendered when you click the button. But that means you would have to manually collect the values from the grid via client-side code and pass it to the server.
Ok guys and gals, here is my problem:
I've built a custom control that uses a textbox to present data to the user.
When the user interacts with the control the value of that textbox is altered with client side javascript.
I also have a button on my page. When the user clicks the button I want to take the value from the custom control (aka. the textbox) and use it elsewhere.
So, in the onClick event for the button I do something like this:
this.myLabel.Text = this.customControl.Value;
The problem is that the custom control does not have the new textbox value available. In the custom control the textbox is empty. However, I can see the correct value in the Request.Form collection.
Am I doing something wrong here? Or should I be reading from Request.Form?!
Interesting, I didn't realize readonly TextBox doesn't get updated from viewstate.
When I pull stunts like that in my web sites, I usually setup asp:HiddenFields that I dump data into with javascript (gotta love jQuery), and that I read values from on postbacks.
Keeps things cleaner I find.
Ah ha! I've solved my own problem!
Because I had set Readonly="True" on the textbox control ASP.NET was not picking up it's value from the postback.
Instead I should have manually added the readonly attribute to the textbox during my user control construction.
eg.
this.textBox.Attributes.Add("readonly", "readonly");
Strange that you answered yourself!
In fact, I've faced this nuisance before, and cost me some time until I found a note in the visual studio documentation describing the cause, you can read it here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.textbox.readonly.aspx in the "important note" section.
