What is the best way to achieve bulk editing of a grid view in ASP.net? I don't want the user to have to click edit on each individual row to change it. It would be much better if they could make all the changes and then submit them in one go.
What I want is something like
Item1 x x x x
Item2 x x x x
Item3 x x x x
Submit
Where x a check box.
Is a grid view even a good way to go about achieving this?
Try this:
In you gridview create a template column with textboxs next fill all with databinder for get default data from database. put a bottom your page and in this bottom create a for cycle that load all gridview rows and search for template column you created. Fin the textbox a write this to dataset. Next you can use my code i posted in this thread for with one line save all dataset.
BulkEditGridview from RealWorldGrids does just what you want.
Here is a GridView that supports bulk editing: Link
I wonder if Matt Berseth´s post about bulk inserting (in a listview but it might help you) could be of some assistance, try it:

You should be able to set the GridViewRow.RowState to Edit during RowDataBound. Just be sure the RowType is DataRow.

Ok so I have drop down list connected to a datasource, and I need to change 2 or 3 of the values before they are displayed and I'm just having trouble figuring out what to do. I'm assuming I setup some kind of loop to check the values, but thats all I can figure. Does anybody have any general suggestions or resources they know that I can look up? Thanks.
You need to do your processing before you bind the datasource. So for example, create a dataset of results or arraylist, process the results changing your values and then bind to your dataset/arraylist.
You'll need to be more specific about what you are binding to and how you want to process for me to be more specific..

Using the ASP.NET grid view. It displays 3 columns with 1 row for each, displaying an integer saved in the database. I would like to have a text input one for each column, so the user can add a new row of integers to the database. (The table only displays the last row updated, that part seems to be working OK)
Here is the code I have that displays data but without the input option I would like.
What is the way this is done in ASP.NET (3.5)? Are there more options in the control or do I need to manually bring in text input controls and give each one manual code to update the database? Any help is appreciated.
Thank You.
Do you know the asp.net website? There are a lot of tutorials, e.g. about data access. You might find the information you need, e.g An Overview of Inserting, Updating, and Deleting Data.
Also check out the ASP.NET Dynamic Data section on the same page.
I have two views that I would like to combine into one.
The first view shows all items of X where company ID = Y. This is to give preferential sort to the client first, and then everyone else.
So I created a second view, all items of X, where company ID != Y.
I created it as an Attachment to attach to the first view, but I don't think I got the intended result.
How can I combine these views so the first view results are listed first, and then the second view is too, using the same pager, filters, and arguments?
Is there any way of achieving this without programming it?
From a MySQL point of view, the order-by-field syntax would be the appropriate way to handle this. Example:
SELECT * FROM tickets ORDER BY FIELD(priority, 'High', 'Normal', 'Low');
It would be great if there is a module that add this kind of functionality to Views, but AFAIK, it does not exist.
If you want to solve this without programming, I think you can use the rules module to automatically set the 'sticky' checkbox on nodes where company ID = Y. With that in place, you can order the View on the sticky value.
Along the lines of the 'sticky' idea, if you didn't want to override that, maybe you could add a checkbox field to the company type -- isClient. Make it false for everyone except the client, and sort by that.
I haven't done this, but maybe you need to create both versions as attachments, and attach them both to another display...?
for drupal 5 there was views union. Someone started something for D6, but I don't know how far they got.

Create the second view as an attachment and attach it to first.
Set all Inherit arguments, Inherit exposed filters and Inherit pager to Yes.
how is the client parameter passed to the view? as an url argument? if so, you can create your second view like i outline here and then select the exclude the argument option on the appropriate location.
usually the easiest way to achieve this is with a small hook_query_alter, but that requires a small amount of programming.
A little bit later... but I've found a better solution using only the Views module:
Create a Block View with that shows the first list that you need ("all items of X where company ID = Y")
Create another View that must be a "Page view" with the second list (all items of X, where company ID != Y)
In the "HEADER" settings of this second view, click "Add" and select "Global: View area".
In the "View to insert" list, select the first you have created (and check "Inherid contextual filters" if you are using it)
And that's it!
I'm having trouble coming up with a solution for the following problem and i was wondering if someone here would help me out.
I need to pull a list of supplies from a db table and list them along with two textboxes (one for quantity, and another for manufacturer)
so the list would look something like this.
checkbox for supply 1 | Quantity | Manufacturer
checkbox for supply 2 | Quantity | Manufacturer
..
I also need to store all of the checked items in a db table.
I'm not sure how i should go about doing this. I've heard some talk about a repeater control being useful but i've not come across any examples that do this type of thing.
Thanks in advance
I've used the ListView for things like this, but Repeater probably woudl work too; simply create the ItemTemplate with these controls. On a button click, you can loop through the ListView.Items collection, using FindControl to find the checkbox, and if checked, get the textbox values.
It's pretty easy to setup.
How Can I find all the rows that has been changed in gridview. I can not use Ajax in any form
First get the contents of your grid before it was changed (such as caching the results of the original gridview datasource binding). Then go through the dataset/datatable/however you want to store it, and compare the contents with the current rows of the gridview.
There's no real efficient way to do this, no method like GridView.GetAllChangedRows(). So, what you might do instead is keep a behind the scenes List that you add to each time a row is modified (use the RowUpdated method), then clear this list when needed.
It depends upon how many columns you want to edit in a row.
If you have only one editable column in a row then you can associate a javascript method with that control which you want to modify and in that method you can get a rowid which you can save in another hidden field and in server side you can get all rows whose ids are stored in hidden field.
If you have whole row editable in that case the best approach I think you should save the original data source somewhere and also set a javascript method with rowclick event to get rowid which user selects. Then when user clicks on submit button get all rows whose row ids are stored in hidden field then compare those with same rowid in datasource. This is the best approach from my point of you.
Let me give you an example, suppose there are 1000 rows in a grid and user clicks on only 180 rows. In that case we will compare only 180 rows and wont compare rest of the rows.
Please let me know if somebody has better idea then this.
