Re: Bind Large length data in GridView - ASP.NET Discussion Boards

I am using the visual studio designer and creating table adapters and strongly typed datasets. The question I have is how to override the InitConnection() method the designer creates for you.

I have two connection strings I would want to use (say local and remote). So I want to extend/enhance this method to determine which one it should be using. Any thoughts?

No need to override it if you use ASP.NET 2.0, there should be a ConnectionString setting in web.config. Change that and you can either use your local or remote database. In ASP.NET 1.1 you will need to set the ConnectionString property of the connection that is used by the commands of the DataAdapter.

I was going to do that, but I was also looking for a programmatic way to do it. Previously, I had made my own custom data layer and included logic for it to determine which environment it was in, local or remote. This way I wouldn't have to update the web.config when I published.

I tried to use a partial class, either I didn't do it correctly, or it just didnt work.

Use substring function either in your query or in GridView itemdatabound event. More link also can be added from ItemDataBound event

You question is too broad. These forums are for posting code you are having trouble with. If you search Code Project (and the internet in general) there are lots of articles about creating a search engine.

Also,
Please do not use text speak (plz) and do not address the forum as 'Sir' as we have both men and women here.

Visual Studio Issue

I have run in to a repetitive issue with Visual Studio where my solution will succesfully build but for some reason won't publish. It just says Build Failed.

I have two projects within the solution. One class and one website.

Any ideas??

When the build fails, are there any error codes? I had a similar problem with VS05 and it was related to duplicate class names. To find it, set your projects build output verbosity to "Diagnostic". This can be found here:

Tools > Options

In the dialog window, expand "Projects and Solutions"
Select "Build and Run"

It's the last option, its label is "MSBuild project build output verbosity"

When you build afterwards, take a look through the results in the output window, you may be able to find something there.

Hope it helps.

Dynamicly Generating Controls

Hello,

How can I generate control from a code (C#) ?

for example: I Have a Wizard with 2 steps, In first I select a number from DropDown menu and click next and I want to have same quantity TextBoxes in Step 2 what I've selected in Step 1.

Thanks.

<br />
for (int iCount = 0; iCount < numOfTextboxes; iCount++)<br />
{<br />
     TextBox tb = new Textbox();<br />
     tb.Name = "tb"+iCount.ToString();<br />
     wizardStep.Controls.Add(tb);<br />
}<br />

Or for example yank a placeholder on the spot you want to add the textboxes and than call placeholder.Controls.Add(tb);

Hello totocaster,

You can see the below code to create Textbox control dynamically in C#.

I hope this gives small idea.

TextBox t = new TextBox();
t.Text = "Hello";
Response.Write(t.Text);

Ive just discovered the ~ sign and how it can be used to reference the root path of your application when building .Net web apps and am overjoyed at how much easier things have become while using it. Thing is I now find myself using it everywhere.

Is this causing the server to do more work than it needs to though. Each page uses it at last 40 times in the header and footer and some pages can almost equal this.

Any opions?

I wouldn't have thought so, except in the compilation phase - but that isn't all that important given the life cycle of ASP.Net apps.
