populate a dg column based upon the value populated to another row in the datagrid

Is it possible when populating a datagrid to populate a dropdownlist
column based upon the value populated to another row in the datagrid?
(i.e. I have a drop down which I want to populate differently for each
row with user names based upon a UserRegionID which is also a column in
the row).
Since you don't actually know the value of the UserRegionID until the
data is already bound to the datagrid, how do you do this?
Thanks,
Mike

Populate a DropDownList

I need to populate a dropdownlist with items form one SQL Table in SqlDataSource1 but the selected value and the data text need to match the ones that are already into another SQL Table in SqlDataSource2.

Any Sugestions?

You can manually compare the data between the tables in codebehind using the classes found in System.Data.SqlClient & System.Data.Sql. Then you can use the DropDownList.Items.Add(new ListItem()) methods to add new items to your dropdownlist.

Populate asp:label with text from db and retain formatting?

Hello,
Im can't seem to figure this out OR find any documentation on if it's possib
le; I need to populate the value of an asp:label with text retrieved from th
e database. However when the text is populated I need to retain carriage ret
urns and indents that the t
ext contains. That way if I want to see this:
Some text with a manual
carriage return.
1. this is one.
2. this is two.
It doesn't look like this:
Some text with a manual carriage return. 1. this is one. 2. this is two.
I've tried enclosing the text in <pre></pre> tags before the text is assigne
d to the label and it works fine except for 2 things. The text is rendered i
n a non-styled font and in the instance that the user entered really long te
xt and didn't manullay hit
a carriage return- which causes the text continue to the right instead of au
tomatically wrapping even though I define a width on my label, the cell the
label is within, etc..
Does anyone know how to get this to work? I must have looked around on the n
et for hours!set the text box Text Mode property to MultiLine.

TextMode is not a property for a label but a textbox. I have tried using a t
extbox control with this property set to multiline previously however withou
t specifically setting the height of the textbox I end up with vertical scro
llbars- which I cannot have
because this is for a printable report.
Hi, Tony
You might write a function to conver the strin, like:
'Get str from database
str = "Some text with a manual carriage return." & vbCr & vbTab & "1. this i
s one. " & vbNewLine & vbTab & "2. this is two."
str = Replace(str, " ", " ")
str = Replace(str, vbTab, " ") 'De
pend how many spaces do you want for a tab.
str = Replace(str, vbNewLine, "<br/>")
str = Replace(str, vbCr, "<br/>")
str = Replace(str, vbLf, "<br/>")
Label1.Text = str
Hope this helps,
Bin Song, MCP
even better ..use a StringBuilder :)

The problem is that there is no universally accepted definition of how
preformatted ascii text should be rendered on the web. You just have
to munge it yourself. In the case you gave I would suggest something
like:
outputLabel.Text = dbText.Replace(@."\n", "<BR>").Replace(@."\t",
@." ");
There is no "easy way out" that I'm aware of.
Hope that helps

AWESOME!! Thanks Ian!! All I had to do is lose the '@.' sign (not sure if it'

Populate drop down list with sql query (contains IF)

I have a drop down list and it is to get it's 'text' and 'value' from a table. The table contains 3 columns:
Title, Name, Id1, Id2
if Id1 is NOT blank then the 'text' value of the drop down list should be:
Name + "(" + Id1 + ")"
else
Name + "(" + Id2 + ")"
I believe the easiest way is to construct the above IF statement is to use SQL query, then pass the parameter to the DataTextField property. However, i seemed to be getting an error. Also any help on the SQL IF statement will be appreciated...
This is what i have so far...(without the IF statement as i'm not sure how to construct the IF statement in SQL)
Sub Page_Load(sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
dropDownList.DataSource = ToGetDataTable()
dropDownList.DataValueField = "MyNewColumn"
dropDownList.DataTextField = "Name"
dropDownList.DataBind()
End if
End Sub

Function ToGetDataTable() As System.Data.IDataReader
Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)';..................."
Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)

Dim queryString As String = "SELECT Title, Name + ' ( ' + Id1 + ')' AS MyNewColumn FROM MyTableName"
Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString
dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection

dbConnection.Open
Dim dataReader As System.Data.IDataReader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)

Return dataReader
End Function

Do you have sufficient rights on your SQL Server box to create auser-defined function? That seems to be the best way to go aboutthis; you would simply select Title, Name (which is a terrible name fora database field), and MyFunction(Name, Id1, Id2) where MyFunctionwould do the work.
If you don't have this option, you could pull all necessary columns,put them into a DataTable, and then run through it, appending theappropriate values in one particular column.

Populate Dropdownlist with arraylist

I thought that by using the follwing code that the dropdown value wouldbe the second item mentioned in my list item but it seems to be thefirst that get in the selectedTex as well as the selectedValuefield. Is there something that I am missing so that theselectedValue would be the second item of my listeItem?
Thank you
<code>
'********************************************************************************
'********************************************************************************
Private Sub insertTables()
'********************************************************************************
Dim lstColums As New ArrayList
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("Software", "Cl_Systems.Software"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("SystemType", "Cl_Systems.Software"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("SystemPurchaseDate", "Cl_Systems.SystemPurchaseDate"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("ServicePlan", "Cl_Systems.ServicePlan"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("ServicePlan_Purchase", "Cl_Systems.ServicePlan"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("ServicePlan_WarrentyEnd", "Cl_Systems.WarrentyEnd"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("ServicePlan_RenewalDate", "Cl_Systems.RenewalDate"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("BuiltID", "Cl_Systems.BuiltID"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("Software Version", "Cl_Systems.Version"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("Modules", "Cl_Systems.Modules"))
lstColums.Add(New ListItem("Packages", "Cl_Systems.Packages"))
lstColums.Insert(0, "--Select Field--")
ddFields.DataSource = lstColums
ddFields.DataBind()
End Sub
</code>
You added this "lstColums.Insert(0, "--Select Field--")" at the first posion which is "0" and you didn't set your selectedvalue when the DDL loaded, so the default selectedvalue is the first one.

Event if I take that line away it give me the same result.

Are you really creating the list like this? If so, I suggest either (a) creating a ListItemCollection instead, or (b) skipping the intermediate object altogether and just adding the items to the dropdownlist's Items collection.

Populate foreign key in InsertTemplate of FormView

Hello all,

How would I populate a foreign key value in a label field of a FormView when
FormView changes mode to Insert? So that I can insert foreign key.

Explanation:
Suppose there are two tables in database, EMPLOYEE (list of employees) and
EMPLOYEE_DOCS (list of documents of every employee). table EMPLOYEE_DOCS
have a foreign key field EMPLOYEE_ID. When I use FormView's Insert mode for
EMPLOYEE_DOCS, I want to to explicitly take foreign key, so that it wont go
blank when inserting in database or user wont need to type it. I have
everything in Panels (webcontrol)

Thank you for help.
MirajThanks all, I figured out

I did this:

Protected Sub FormView1_ItemInserting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewInsertEventArgs) Handles
FormView1.ItemInserting

e.Values("EMPLOYEE_ID") =
GridView1.Rows(GridView1.SelectedIndex).Cells(1).T ext ' cells(1).text is the
foreign key

End Sub

populate public property from a function

I have a public property in my server control and I want to populate it with
values generated by the control.
When I assign the value of the property to a function in the control, which
creates the values, I get a compilation error that says
the function doesn't have all the other property values to work with.
So, how do I populate the arraylist as a public property, so I can use it in
my web page ?
========== code in use ==========
I create the property wth the webpage by:
............
Dim arrTempList As New ArrayList()
oThis.myArrayList = arrTempList
...........
I have the the property defined in the control as:
...............
Public arrChartList As Arraylist
Public Property myArrayList As ArrayList
Get
Return arrChartList
End Get
Set
arrChartList = myfunction() '<--builds values for arraylist
End Set
End Property
.................Where is 'myfunction' declared? This looks like a scoping issue.
I am also why in the Set for a property, you would completely
ignore the argument and just call a function. Why bother having a Set on the
property to begin with? People are going to be setting the property to
something - but that something will be complete ignored? Very confusing.

That depends on what you are trying to do in the first place. You either
want the user to assign a value to the property or you don't and want to
assign the variable a value returned by a function instead.

populate text box from sql

when my page opens how i can i auto-populate a text box from a value that is passed from a stored proc?On your Form_Load, grab the data from the stored proc, set your textbox equal to the value it returns.

populate value in dropdown

Hi, I have an update form which contains the selected employee information. I was able to use DataReader to retrieve the data from the database. I want to place the department value in the dropdown which contains other department values so user can change the dept value and save the information. How can I display my department value in the dropdown? I was able to populate the dropdown without any problem except the department value wasn't highlighted. It is like a person originally worked at Marketing department and is going to switch to IT.

Thanks in advance.

<asp:DropDownListID="DDDept"runat="server"AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1"DataTextField="DeptName"DataValueField="DeptID"Style="z-index: 112; left: 372px;position: absolute; top: 415px"Width="159px"></asp:DropDownList>

SO you have your datasource all set up and the drop down list displays the departments correctly. However you want the users current department to be selected..

use the SelectedValue Property of the drop down list and set it to whatever key field in the users table that has the department id in it.

<asp:DropDownList SelectedValue='<# Bind("DepartmentIdFieldFromUsersTable") %>' .../>

should do it.

hth,

Hi, Thank you so much for the help!! I can see the department correctly now !!

Populating a check boxlist with info from a database

I have a dropdown box with the value titleid. I also have a checkboxlist with the value of classificationid. How do I populate a checkboxlist when I change the selection in the dropdown?

I have this on pageload

Checkboxlist1.datasource="mystoredprocedure"

checkboxlist1.datatextfield = "description"

checkboxlist1.datavaluefield = "classificationid"

Checkboxlist.databind()

If checkboxlist1.items[i].value = "1' then

checkboxlist1.items[i].selected = true

else

checkboxlist1.items[i].selected = false

Do I need to put something in here to connect/bind to the dropdown box?

You need to handle the "SelectedIndexChanged" event of the dropdown, This event is raised when the selectedItem changes. Please also remember to set the "AutoPostBack" property of the dropdwn to true.

<asp:DropDownListID="DropDownList1"AutoPostBack="true"runat="server"OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged"/>

protectedvoid DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,EventArgs e)

{

//Bind the check box list here again and add any necessary logic you want might want

}s

If this helps please remember to mark post as answer.

Help I'm confused...

I have this as my dropdown:
<asp:DropDownListID="DropDownList1"runat="server"DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"

DataTextField="Title"DataValueField="TitleID"AutoPostBack="True"OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged">

</asp:DropDownList><br/>

<asp:CheckBoxListID="CheckBoxList1"runat="server"DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"

DataTextField="description"DataValueField="classificationid"RepeatColumns="5"RepeatDirection="Horizontal"BorderStyle="Dashed"CellPadding="2"CellSpacing="2"Height="247px"Width="762px"BorderColor="#CFB37D">

</asp:CheckBoxList><br/>

What do I put on the code behind page for the SelectedIndexChange to bring back the items in the database? If the titleID is selected I want check marks in the checkboxes (classificationid) to show what the user has selected already. Please help!

ProtectedSub CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles CheckBoxList1.SelectedIndexChanged

EndSub

Okay I've figured some things out... Here's my stored procedure:

CREATE Procedure GetClassID

@.titleid int

AS
SELECT
classifications.[description], titleclassification.classificationid

FROM
classifications inner join titleclassification on titleclassification.classificationid = classifications.classificationid

wheretitleid=@.titleid
GO

I'm trying to code the checkboxlist and having problems

ProtectedSub CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles CheckBoxList1.SelectedIndexChanged

Dim iAsInteger

Dim chkbxAs CheckBoxList

For i = 0To chkbx.Items.Count - 1

Next

if chkbx.Items[i].SelectedValuethen

CheckBoxList1.Items([i].selected =True)

Else

CheckBoxList1.Items([i].selected =False)

EndIf

CheckBoxList1.DataBind()

EndSub

what am I doing wrong?

Ok, i want to understand one thing. Based on which field do you want the items to be checked? You have 2 fields in your select SP, you need to have a third one and based on it, you set the the items to be checked or not.

I want the classificationid field to be checked. What's the other field to add and how do I set the items to be checked or not? Do I need a Boolean?

if your sql database classificationid field is set to 'bit' you wont need to do anything except checkboxlist1.databind()

it knows 1's are checks and vice versa.

edit: ok so you are using stored procedures. ive never done it that way. what i would do, which is pretty simple imo, is create a fresh checkbox list. let it create a sqldatasource for it. i use the nice little sql generator thing when i create it. select the 2 columns from your database. click the where button and use the control selected index thing. i hope im not being to vague. then lastly you will have to set the dropdownlist to autopostback.

Okay I tried it your way and got the same thing as my stored procedure but how do I get the items to be checked? What do I put for the codebehind

ProtectedSub CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles CheckBoxList1.SelectedIndexChanged

That's where I'm lost.

its not checkbox1 seletedindexchanged, its dropdownlist1 selectedindex changed. in that code snippet just put checkboxlist1.databind(). when a checkbox list is bound to a bit field, it will check the boxes that are true

please post your most recent aspx page code so i can look at your sqldatasource.

I can't change my classificationid field to a bit field because it will change the entire structure of my database. Ugh. Do I write a function like so to convert to a bit. Is this one okay.

CREATE FUNCTION [Converttobool]
(@.value char(1))
RETURNS bit
BEGIN
declare @.returnvalue bit

if @.value = 'y'
set @.returnvalue = 1
else
set @.returnvalue= 0
return @.returnvalue

END

i think you can just do it in your select statement

cast(columnname, bit)

This is what I have thus far it brings back my items from the database but it's not checked, any ideas?

ProtectedSub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged

Dim iAsInteger

For i = 0To CheckBoxList1.Items.Count - 1

If (CheckBoxList1.Items(i).Selected)Then

Response.Write(CheckBoxList1.Items(i).Value)

EndIf

Next

EndSub

you dont need to manually check anything if youve databound it to the sqldatasource... its just checkboxlist1.databind()

Added it cast to my select statement

SELECT
classifications.[description], cast(titleclassification.classificationid as bit)

FROM
classifications inner join titleclassification on titleclassification.classificationid = classifications.classificationid

wheretitleid=@.titleid

Now I'm getting ...Databinding: System.Data.DataRowView does not contain a property with the name classificationid. Any suggestions?

Okay I got rid of the databinding error message, page comes up but still no items are checked? I'm going. I feel that I'm almost there any suggestions?

Here's my select statement:

SELECT
classifications.[description], cast(titleclassification.classificationid as bit)

FROM
classifications inner join titleclassification on titleclassification.classificationid = classifications.classificationid

wheretitleid=@.titleid

What do I put here?

ProtectedSub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged

CheckBoxList1.DataBind()

EndSub

Thanks if anyone can assist me!

Populating a DropDownList

I am populating a dropdowm list from a SortedList and want to order the data in the dropdownlist by the displayed data and not the value. How can I do this ?put the data into an arraylist and then bind the arraylist to the DropDownList - - you can sort the arraylist anyway you'd like.
How do I put the data in an array list and then sort it. Do you have an example.
How do you have a database valueand a display value in the array list ?
please i'm making a site in a page of this site i had two dropdownlist ,the first is for the comapny and the other is for the models products of one company...
how can i make the ddl of the company to be when i select one of them, the another ddl changes its contenent to be just the models of this company or this selection..

if any body know please post the codes and the html apperance codes

Populating a DropDownList

Is there a way to manually insert rows into a dropdownlist.
I nneed to insert a value and a display text.Yes, you may use " DropDownList.Items.Add" or "Items.Insert".
How do you add a value and a display text?
ddlb.Add("50","New York") does not work. It appears to only take one argument.
OK. Do it like this:

Dim newItem As ListItem = New ListItem("New York", "50")
ddlb.Items.Add(newItem)

This will add a new item at bottom of your DDL, if you want add it in a certain palce, you amy do like this:

ddlb.Items.Insert(0,newItem)

This will add it in the very top.

Populating a label (inside InsertItemTemplate) with default value

Hello everyone,

I have one GridView and two different DetailsView's on ONE SINGLE page. I'm attempting to populate a label (which is in a DetailsView and also inside an InsertItemTemplate) with a value from the GridView. Of course I have datasources (<asp:SqlDataSource>) which are feeding the GridView and two DetailsViews. I also have all the commands with the datasources (SelectCommand, InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, etc.)

The reason why I have the ONE GridView and TWO DetailsViews is because I'm working with THREE separate SQL tables.

Here's my code:

The GridView (which contains the value inside a LinkButton)

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="Tracker_Number" DataSourceID="TOASearchResults" Width="498px" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True">

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" CommandName="Select" Runat="Server" OnClick="ShowEdit" Text='<%# Eval("Tracker_Number") %>'/>

The DetailsView (which contains the label I want to populate)

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Tracker Number" SortExpression="Tracker_Number">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:label ID="TrackerNumber" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Tracker_Number") %>'></asp:label>
</EditItemTemplate>
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:label ID="lblTrackerNumber" runat="server"></asp:label>
</InsertItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="TrackerNumber" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Tracker_Number") %>'></asp:label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I basically took this project over, so this isn't even my code. However, everything works except for this little part.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!
-WesSo what's populating your DetailsView? The same data source? If everything else seems to be working, I think you should step through your code to see if those statements in the DetailsView are being called. (Too bad you use inline ASP.NET! ha ha!)
I got it!

I basically passed the value of the LinkButton (which was whatever the user clicked), stored it into a label and then assigned the value of that label to the label inside my InsertItemTemplate.

Thanks for the help anyway!

Populating a Textbox

This seems like a simple thing to do, but I cannot figure it out.
How can I populate a textbox with a value retreived from a SQL database so that it is editable?

Thank you!There's no true data binding in ASP; you've got to write code to retrieve the value and more code to update it. The following code will retrieve the value. You'll also need an Update query to update the value.
Good luck
<code>

Dim oConnAsNew Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(sConnect)

Dim oCmdAsNew Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand

Dim oDSAsNew DataSet

Dim oDAAsNew SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter

Try

With oCmd

.CommandText = "Select Value From Table1"

.Connection = oConn

EndWith

With oDA

.SelectCommand = oCmd

oConn.Open()

.Fill(oDS)

Textbox1.text =ods.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item(0)

EndWith
</code>

What kind of object are you storing your value in? Is it just a single value you are getting back from the database? If so you could use the ExecuteScalar routine to put it into a string and then assign it to a text box. If you have it in a datatable, you just have to assign the proper cell to the text box:

textBox.Text = myDataTable.Rows(rowCounter).Cells("'myField")

As Mr Jkcnack said that if you are retrieving single value use ExecuteScaler method if you are retieving multiple values use dataReader.

Populating a text field and then getting its value

If I change the textbox property Readonly to false then it works perfectly
fine. I am using the latest Beta 2 release of .net framework.

Populating a text field and then getting its value

Hello All,
I am populating a text field dynamic in my code, and its a read-only
textbox control. It populates it perfectly fine. but when I get its value
back in code I get an empty string any clues as to how to get this sorted
please ?
Here is how I set the value of the control.
txtTitle.Text = feed.Channels[0].Title;
and get it later
String strString = txtTitle.Text;
Any clues please ?
Imran.Thats a strange one.
Working fine for me:
ASPX:
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" ReadOnly="True"
OnClick="Button1_Click"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>
