Problem in displaying data.

Hi,
I am mani. I have a problem in display the data in datagrid.
What i did is I am creating a form and in this form i created a 6 textboxes and one search button. whenever the user enter a text in textbox i retrieve the data from the database and displayed in the datagrid.
The problem is when the user again enter the text in text box the datagrid is filled with new data and last data will be lost. But i want that newly searching data should be displayed in datagrid including the last searching data.

This is my problem i sent last time to this portal. i got some answers. But using the DataTable i didnt get the answer. I write my code here. please tell me what is the wrong i did it in this.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public partial class AdvanceSearch : System.Web.UI.Page
{
SqlConnection con;
SqlCommand cmd;
SqlDataAdapter adptr;
DataTable dt;
DataView dv;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Session["mani"] == null)
{
dt = new DataTable();
Session["mani"] = dt;
}
else
{
dt = (DataTable)Session["mani"];
}
dv = new DataView(dt);
SearchResultGrid.DataSource = dv;
SearchResultGrid.DataBind();

}
protected void ButtonSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=MVB;Initial Catalog=Communication; Integrated Security=True");
string select_query = "SELECT *FROM CommunicationDetails WHERE CommunicationId=@comid OR IssueType=@issue OR RegionName=@regname OR ApplicationName=@appname OR Descript=@Desc OR CommunicationDate=@comdate";
cmd = new SqlCommand(select_query, con);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@comid", TextBoxCommunicationID.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@issue", TextIssueType.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@regname", TextBoxRegionName.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@appname", TextBoxApplicationName.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Desc", TextBoxDescription.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@comdate", TextBoxDate.Text);

try
{
con.Open();
adptr = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
adptr.Fill(ds);
dt = ds.Tables[0];
dv = new DataView(dt);
SearchResultGrid.DataSource = dv;
SearchResultGrid.DataBind();
con.Close()
}
catch(SqlException)
{
con.Close();
}
}
}

using this code i get the answer every time the user enter the data to search. but the last time the user searched data will be lost. i want that last time searching data including the present data.

regards,
Manikanta.

One possibility is that when you make a new query:
- save the last results in a datatable 1 (the currently binded datatable)
- execute a new query
- from the query save the results to datatable 2
- merge datatable 1 and 2 to datatable 3
- bind the datatable 3 to the grid

You can do this with two datatables also if you want. For information about Merge, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fk68ew7b.aspx[^]

Hello;
In the master page of my site I have a textbox that displays the school year, to recover the value of textbox in other pages I used:
page.master.cs

    {<br />
        Label13.Text = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now);<br />

<br />
        while (drr2.Read())<br />
        {<br />
            Textbox1.Text = drr2["p1"].ToString();<br />

    private string ConnectionString<br />

And have you debugged and stepped through to ensure the code is working? Are you getting a value from the database?

A few tips:
DON'T hard code your connection string in your code, that is what the configuration file is for. See the element called connectionStrings? Guess what that is for.
If you are returning a single value than use ExecuteScalar

You have got to give more information in your posts. We are not sitting next to you looking over your shoulder.

What do you mean "the problem is to pass it to TextBox2"? Is the datareader valid? Do you have a value to assign? Is the problem extracting the value from the textbox rather than assigning it?

Can you try, in Default2.aspx.cs : Page_Load

Control masterControl = Master.FindControl("TextBox1");

if(masterControl != null)
{
    string textToCopy = (TextBox)masterControl.Text;
    TextBox2.Text = textToCopy;
}

Debug, and let us know if 1) masterControl is not null and 2) if textToCopy gets populated

problem in displaying the data in datagrid`

This problem can be solved if u use datatable.
The data that was present on the data grid just fill this data to datatable and then the new searched data will also be filled in the same datatable then bind this datatable to the grid so that the previous data will not be lost.

Hi Mani,

in your problem, u can save your last data in datatable variable.
To use session variable,

Session["mySearchResult"] = searchResultTable;
  searchResultGridView.DataSource = searchResultTable;
  searchResultGridView.DataBind();

When u search new keyword and return data back from server, save it in temp table.
then retrieve your previous saved table from Session. and Loop through every row again
and add it into old table and re-save it to Session.

newSearchResultTable = // new search result data from server;
 searchResultTable  = Session["mySearchResult"] as DataTable;    // get back from session
 foreach(DataRow row in newSearchResultTable.Rows)               // loop every rows
 {
     searchResultTable.Rows.Add(row);                            // add to existing table
 }

 Session["mySearchResult"] = searchResultTable;                  // save back and bind again
 searchResultGridView.DataSource = searchResultTable;
 searchResultGridView.DataBind();

Hint: when u enable the "EnableViewState" to false, your selected info will not be avaliable from the server.

Hope it works,

Captcha and Client IP

Dear all,

In my login page, im showing a captcha to the user ofter 3 unsuccessfull attempts.
this works fine, only if the user closes the browser and reopen it, the session is lost, so then he has again 3 chances to login without seeing the captcha.
i want to prevent this, i want still to show the captcha even in that case.
My question is, what is the best way to achieve that? by storing the ip address of the client? is it possible to get the ip address of the client always? even through proxies and firewalls?
Or maybe other suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

A client will always have an external IP even through firewalls and proxies but firewalls can be spoofed.

The main idea of a cpatcha is to prevent bots from auto creating accounts.

Another technique i saw was to create an empty input field and hide it, set it to an email type field , and if that field has a value on submit it means a bot attempted to sign up and you can deny the action

        DataTable dt = new DataTable();<br />
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();<br />
        SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SN11ConnectionString"].ConnectionString);<br />
        SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT UserId FROM [Users] WHERE ([Email]=@Email AND [Password]=@Password", sqlConn);<br />
        //Create the parameters<br />
        SqlParameter paramEmail;<br />
        paramEmail = new SqlParameter("@Email", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 25);<br />
        paramEmail.Value = TextBoxLoginEmail.Text;<br />
        sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(paramEmail);<br />
<br />
        //Hash the password<br />
        MD5CryptoServiceProvider md5Hasher = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();<br />
        byte[] hashedBytes;<br />
