How can I do that? Can you make me an example please?

Tanks in advance!

Best regards

It goes something like this...

Thats only to show the use of Template Fields. You should carry on according to ur req from here

<asp:gridview id="GridView1" autogeneratecolumns="False" runat="server" datasourceid="ObjectDataSource1" horizontalalign="Left" width="205px">
BorderWidth="0px" CellPadding="0" >
<columns>
<asp:templatefield headertext="Refine Search">
<headertemplate>xyz
</headertemplate>
<itemtemplate>
<asp:textbox id="tb1" runat="server" Text='#Eval("DbField")'>
</asp:textbox></itemtemplate>

<footertemplate>
</footertemplate>
</asp:templatefield>
</columns>
</asp:gridview>

Hope that helps

Thanks

Success is a ladder which you can't climb with your hands in your pockets.

Hi,

You can try
//Index of the row to be edited.
GridView1.EditIndex = 0
GridView1.DataBind()

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Klaus

hi,

well u can use it like this
on form's load event ...

if you are using C#.net
if (!IsPostBack)
{
GridView1.EditIndex = 0;//assuming that you want to show first row editable
GridView1.DataSource = "Your DataSource";
GridView1.DataBind();
}

If I use your code, I get an error message, can you tell me why?

Here is my code:

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
GridView1.EditIndex = 0;
GridView1.DataSource = "SqlDataSource1";
GridView1.DataBind();
}

}
}

Here is the error message:

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code

Thanks!

Hi,

As you have already defined DataSourceID and DataSource try your code like this

GridView1.EditIndex = 0;
GridView1.DataBind();

The error is generated probably because when you have already assinged DataSource and DataSourceID in designer and try to assign DataSource again in code it gives error.

Hi,

what i believe you will be required to create a method that will check the selected rows of the grid view. when the page is changing call that method and store the selected row in a session. on the next page when user select rows repeat the same process. note that the method will not only be called no the page index change but also where there is some post back on the page.

hope it will help.

My application's session lasts for only 2 or 3 minutes even if I set session timeout to 30 minutes in web.config file.
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout ="30" ></sessionState>
</system.web>
Can anyone tell the reason

It's hard to tell what is causing the problem. Are you doing anything that will reset the application, like modifying web.config runtime etc ? If yes it will clear all session variables.

All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia

How to use google | Ask smart questions

Hi,

Check your session timeout in IIS as well. Follow the path

IIS -> Default Website -> YourWebSite -> (right click) Properties -> (from Tab) ASP.Net -> Edit Configuration -> (from Tab) State Management.

Check the session out time here and try to increase it if it is lesser than 30 mins.

Has everyone see this problem?

hi, i'm posting because i have a problem i can't manage to solve...
i have a page with a row of DropDownLists, and what i want to do is this: when the user selects a value from one of the dropdowns , a new one is created under the selected, with the same values of the previous one, except for the selected one.
i know i have to write a function in c# called from OnSelectedIndexChange, but i can't understand how to create the new ddl from the code..
can anyone one help me or suggest a better way to do that?
i'm working on Visual web Developer using C#
thanks anyway, and sorry for the poor english..
bye

If the second drop down has all the same value, minus the one selected you should be using a multi-select box instead of a select drop down. Then the user can select multiple choices w/o going back and forth between the server and w/o the complexity you're talking about.

If you're doing this to limit the number of choices the user makes, you could do this in javascript. Then on the server-side, validate the data a second time to make sure the user didn't try and bypass your client-side script.

Mark's blog: developMENTALmadness.blogspot.com

Yes, the second one should have the same values except for the previously selected one. The problem is that after the first selection made with the DropDownList, the user can chose, for the selected value, properties from another DDL, and then another value for this one. So, when the user opens the page, he see a row of DDL. I need that, after the row he finish fulling it, another raw is created under the existing one, and so on, and only the mix of choises done before couldnt be re-done after...
That's the reason why I can't use a multi-select box..
I hope I explaned it well..
About javascript:i'm not used to it, do you really think I can do what I need better using javascript?
how could i do it?
Thanks anyway for the reply Big Grin | :-D

Sounds like I didn't understand what it is you are trying to do. To clarify, it sounds like you are trying to allow the user to fill out a row of DDL. And then AFTER they have completed that row you want to give them a new row of DDL controls, minus the value(s) from the previous row.

If this is the case, then I recommend that when the user has completed the current row you will allow them to submit those changes to the server. You could use the SelectedIndexChanged of the last DDL of the row, or a command button.

When the user submits the selected values, create a new row in your data source and then rebind your Grid or list (whichever you are using) with the updated data source.

Here's an blog post on using the GridView's footer template to insert new rows: http://geekswithblogs.net/casualjim/articles/51360.aspx[^]. Just put all your DDLs into the footer row and proceed as I recommended above.

If your data source isn't meant to actually update a database or some other persisted store, but is just transient form data for some operation then instead of updating a persisted store you can maintain the data source in a session variable until the user has completed their operation. Then clear out the session variable when you are done.

Sir,
I m adding texbox in grid at runtime . it added successfully
but my problem is that how to read a value in a texbox i m sending
my code plz check this code give me reply

TextBox txt ;
string strID;
//Add Textbox in a grid
for (int i = 0; i < dtSet.Tables[0].Rows.Count; i++)

txt = new TextBox();
strID = i.ToString()+j.ToString();
txt.ID=strID;
GridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Controls.Add(txt);
}
}

//Read This TextBox Value

string strTextID;
for (int i = 0; i <GridView1.Rows.Count ; i++)
{
for(int j=0;j<GridView1.Columns.Count;j++)
{
strTextID=i.ToString()+j.ToString();

string strText=Txt.Text;//This Statement Give me error
}
}

plz send me reply

Thanks & Regards

Why are you adding the text box dynamically instead of declaring the text box in the item template of the control markup? See the reference to TemplateField here in the MS docs: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.aspx[^]

Mark's blog: developMENTALmadness.blogspot.com

sir,

my problem is my gridview column size is not fix so i can not
add column in a template control so adding textbox in a grid at
run time .
how to add textbox in a ItemTemplate at runtime or template controlt?

plz sir give me proper solution .

lav naphade

To add the control you should be using the RowDataBound event (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.rowdatabound.aspx[^]) like this:

<br />
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e){<br />
  if(e.Row.RowType == RowType.DataRow){<br />
    txt = new TextBox();<br />
    strID = "textBox1";<br />
    txt.ID=strID; <br />
<br />
    e.Row.Cells(1).Controls.Add(txt)<br />
  }<br />
}<br />

Try recursively searching the result of : GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j]. Instead of calling
GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].FindControl(strTextId). Do a recursive search of each of the child controls like this:

<br />
Control ctrl = GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j];<br />
<br />
TextBox txt = FindControlRecursive(ctrl, strTextId) as TextBox;<br />
if(txt != null){<br />
  //read the value of the text box<br />
}<br />

Where your recursive function looks like this:

<br />
private Control FindControlRecursive(Control current, String textId){<br />
  Control result = current.FindControl(textId);<br />
  if(result != null)<br />
    return result;<br />
<br />
  foreach(Control ctrl in current.Controls){<br />
    result = FindControlRecursive(ctrl, textId)<br />
    if(result != null)<br />
      return result;<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  return null;<br />
}<br />

I nested a repeater inside a gridview templateField, this works fine, the problem is now the gridview width will not expand when the page is expanded.

Prior to this I had nested gridviews and the parent gridview's width expanded with the page. Is there a workaround to get the parent grid to expand with a nested repeater?
