get selected value by drop down list in a repeater by CommandArgument of link button

I have a repeater that in it has one dropdown list and one linkbutton.
I want to get the selected value of the dropdown list by CommandArgument in linkbutton, but it just knows default value of dropdown list.
My code :
<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="Repeater1" OnItemDataBound="Page_Load2"OnItemCommand="list_ItemCommand" >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="dlPricelist" CssClass="width100darsad dropdownlist" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" ViewStateMode="Enabled" >
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnAddToCart" runat="server" class="btn btn-success btnAddtoCardSinglepage" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("id") %>' CommandName="addtocard">اضافه به سبد خرید</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:Label ID="xxxxxx" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
Code behind:
protected void Page_Load2(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
string id = Request.QueryString["id"].ToString();
DataSet dsselectcategory = BLLTour.left3join(id.Trim().ToString());
var dlPricelist = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("dlPricelist");
dlPricelist.DataSource = dsselectcategory.Tables[0];
dlPricelist.DataTextField = "pricelistPrice";
dlPricelist.DataValueField = "priceid";
dlPricelist.DataBind();
}
}
protected void list_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "addtocard")
{
foreach (RepeaterItem dataItem in Repeater1.Items)
{
Label xxxxxx = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("xxxxxx");
LinkButton btnAddToCart = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("btnAddToCart");
xxxxxx.Text = ((DropDownList)dataItem.FindControl("dlPricelist")).SelectedItem.Text; //No error
}
}
}
I don't know how I should fix it.

You are using very old technology to show data that's not appropriate.
But if you are serious to use it, you must use FindControll method in ItemTemplate of your repeater control. You should find dropdownlist first, and then cast it to a object to be able to use it's value.

Dynamically give Id to button, Commandargument send value

Here is my part of Shop.aspx code:
<% foreach(var item in items){ %>
...
<asp:Button id="btnBuy" runat="server" class="btn" Text="Buy" OnClick ="btnBuy_Click" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("item.id") %>' />
<% } %>
I've got a loop where I create few buttons to my shopping items, and I need them to have id of my item
protected void btnBuy_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int itemId = Convert.ToInt32(btnBuy.CommandArgument);
}
On click i need to have id of the item/button clicked, to save them later in my database.
Problem -
When i click on button btnbuy.CommandArgument is "".

It's wrong: you wrote c#in asp style. You have to use a Repeater and then you can manage ItemCommand for every button click.
Aspx
<asp:Repeater ID="myRepeater" runat="server" OnItemCommand="myRepeater_ItemCommand">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label id="myLbl" runat="server" Text='<%# ((Item)(Container.DataItem)).ProductName %>'/>
<asp:Button id="btnBuy" runat="server" CssClass="btn" Text="Buy" CommandName="Click" CommandArgument='<%# ((Item)(Container.DataItem)).ProductId %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
c# (eg. OnLoad)
List<Item> myCollection = ...; // get list of items
myRepeater.DataSource = myCollection;
myRepeater.DataBind();
...
protected void myRepeater_ItemCommand(Object sender, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
if(e.CommandName == "Click")
{
int idRecord = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
// do something using idRecord or
// get sender properties: ((Button)e.CommandSource).Text
}
}

access items in repeater

I have a repeater and I am trying to access labels inside it. Here is my method:
protected void ButtonlarıTemizle()
{
int n = 0;
foreach (RepeaterItem item in Repeater1.Items)
{
n++;
Label lbl = item.FindControl("lblApproved") as Label;
Button btn = item.FindControl("btnAssignApproved") as Button;
if (lbl.Text.Equals("Satışa Dönmüştür"))
{
btn.Visible = false;
lbl.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
}
}
Response.Write("<script lang='JavaScript'>alert('"+n+"');</script>");
}
I can access inside repeater but here is the problem: I can't access the last item of repeater. I put that 'n' variable to control how many times I turn inside foreach loop and I see that n always gives -1 of item numbers. For example if I have 3 items in repeater, n is 2, if there is 1 item in repeater, n is 0. What am I doing wrong in here ?
Edit: I am writing my .aspx page since it asked
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="EntityDataSourceTeklifler" OnItemCommand="Repeater1_ItemCommand">
<ItemTemplate>
<div class="panel panel-primary">
<div class="panel-body">
<strong>Teklif No.</strong> <%#Eval("TeklifId") %><br />
<strong>Teklif Tarihi:</strong> <%#Eval("TeklifTarih") %><br />
<strong>Teklifi Hazırlayan:</strong> <%#Eval("Name") %> <%#Eval("Surname") %><br />
<strong>Firma Adı:</strong> <%#Eval("FirmaAdi") %><br />
<strong>Ürünler:</strong><br />
<%#Eval("TeklifSiparis") %>
<strong>Genel Toplam:</strong> <%#Eval("TeklifTutar") %>$<br />
<strong>Not:</strong><br />
<%#Eval("TeklifNot") %><br />
<strong>Teklif Durumu:</strong> <asp:Label ForeColor="Red" ID="lblApproved" runat="server" Text='<%# CheckIfApproved(Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Approved"))) %>'></asp:Label><br /><br />
<asp:Button ID="btnAssignApproved" runat="server" Text="Satışa Döndü Olarak İşaretle" CssClass="btn btn-primary" CommandName="Done" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("TeklifId") %>' />
</div>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

I am not sure why you explicitly calling a different method but what you are doing can be easily done in ItemDataBound event of repeater control:-
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="Repeater1_ItemDataBound"
Then handler it like this:-
protected void Repeater1_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
{
Label lbl = e.Item.FindControl("lblApproved") as Label;
Button btn = e.Item.FindControl("btnAssignApproved") as Button;
if (lbl.Text.Equals("Satışa Dönmüştür"))
{
btn.Visible = false;
lbl.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
}
}
}
Please note there is no need to do any loop on your repeater items. Repeater ItemDataBound event will fire for each item when it is bounded. Also, if you want to have a count simply declare a variable outside this method and increment it inside this event.

How to find control in ListView on Page Load

I am trying to find the formview inside my listview on the page load. However, my result is always null. I called the DataBind method first but still nothing.
Code Behind
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String list = itemdropdownlist.SelectedValue;
switch (list)
{
case "Section Item":
SectionListView.DataBind();
//SectionListView.Enabled = false;
var temp = (FormView)SectionListView.FindControl("SectionFormView");
temp.Enabled = true;
renderView(SectionListView, "hidden"); // hide listview on page load
break;
}
}
ASP.net code
<InsertItemTemplate>
<tr style="">
<td>
<div style="font-size: .8em;">
<asp:FormView ID="SectionFormView" runat="server" DataKeyNames="SectionItemID" DataSourceID="SectionDataSource">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="InsertButton" runat="server" Text="Insert" OnClick="SectionItemButton_Click" Font-Size="1.2em" />
<asp:Button ID="CancelButton" runat="server" CommandName="Cancel" Text="Clear" Font-Size="1.2em" />
<asp:Label ID="SectionItemLabel" runat="server" Text="SectionItem" Font-Bold="true" Font-Size="1.2em" />
<asp:TextBox ID="SectionItemTextBox" runat="server" />
<asp:Label ID="SectionItemSubLabel" runat="server" Text="SectionItem Label" Font-Bold="true" Font-Size="1.2em" />
<asp:TextBox ID="SectionItemLabelTextBox" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</InsertItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>

You got that error, because the listview was not binded yet, so i think the best way would be to do all this on the ItemDataBound event. You would find the FormView like:
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem)
{
FormView SFormView= (FormView)e.Item.FindControl("SectionFormView");
if (SFormView!= null)
{
//code here
}
}

You could use this code to find about anything. I used it before to find Literals that I created in code behind. Use this code to find your FormView
private readonly List<FormView> _foundControls = new List<FormView>();
public IEnumerable<FormView> FoundControls
{
get { return _foundControls; }
}
public void FindChildControlsRecursive(Control control)
{
foreach (Control childControl in control.Controls)
{
if (childControl.GetType() == typeof(FormView))
{
_foundControls.Add((FormView)childControl);
}
else
{
FindChildControlsRecursive(childControl);
}
}
}
FindChildControlsRecursive(<Insert relevent Code Here: Whatever element you want to search inside of like your listView, find that using FindControl>);
FormView[] strControl = new FormView[200];
strControl = FoundControls.ToArray();
foreach (FormView i in strControl)
{
if (i.ID.Equals("< insert controlId of your FormView>"))
{
// do something when you find it
}
}

asp.net c# validation

I am trying to create a simple form that uses radio buttons. I set the radio button to AutoPostBack = True, this way if the radio button is true/false, a subpanel is Shown or Hidden. The radio buttons are required fields. I also have a hidden textbox that the value of the selected radio button is inserted and this textbox is what I validate against (empty or not).
Problem 1:
This works until you go to submit and the validation fails. The validation messages show, then when you click on one of the radio buttons with AutoPostBack = True, all the validation disappear. I can resolve this by adding Page.Validate() to the method that runs when the radio button is clicked. But, I do not want the Page.Validate() to run unless the page was already showing validation errors (so it will not re-validate unless the form was already submitted and failed the validation).
As it stands, before the form is submitted and fails validation: when you click on any radio button question, all the other questions requiring validation show the validation error. I am only looking to overcome the AutoPostBack which is clearing all the validation messages that are shown when you had click submit.
Problem 2:
I would like to be able to change the color of the question if it does not pass validation. I added the javascript to override the default .net settings. I got this to work, but only when you click the submit button and not after a RadioButton AutoPostBack.
Currently, When you click submit all the required questions turn red and also display the required validation message. But if you click a radio button to start fixing the validation errors, on the AutoPostBack, the all the questions that were now red in color changes back to the orignal black and the required validation message is still shown. How can I call the Javascript to run again along with the Page.Validation() in the code behind method?
Any help would be greatly appricated! Thanks
Below is an example of the code so far.
ASPX Code:
<asp:Table ID="Table1" runat="server" CellSpacing="0" CellPadding="0">
<asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell CssClass="question">
<label>4. Have you had an abnormal result from a prenatal test (e.g. amniocentesis, blood test, ultrasound)?</label>
</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell CssClass="answer">
<ul class="selectGroup">
<li>
<asp:RadioButton ID="Q4_true" runat="server" Checked='<%# Bind("Q4_yes") %>' Text="Yes"
GroupName="4" OnCheckedChanged='RB_QuestionSubPane_YN' AutoPostBack="true" /></li>
<li>
<asp:RadioButton ID="Q4_false" runat="server" Checked='<%# Bind("Q4_no") %>' Text="No"
GroupName="4" OnCheckedChanged='RB_QuestionSubPane_YN' AutoPostBack="true" />
</li>
<asp:TextBox ID="Q4_validationBox" runat="server" CssClass="hiddenField" Enabled="false"
Text=''></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" EnableViewState="true" ControlToValidate="Q4_validationBox"
Display="Dynamic" runat="server" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</ul>
</asp:TableCell>
</asp:TableRow>
</asp:Table>
Code Behind
protected void RB_QuestionSubPane_YN(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RadioButton radio_Selected = (RadioButton)sender;
string radio_QuestionID = Convert.ToString(radio_Selected.ID);
(((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl(strQuestionID + "_validationBox")).Text) = radio_Selected.ID.ToString();
Page.Validate();
}
JavaScript
ValidatorUpdateDisplay = function (val) {
var ctl = $('#' + val.controltovalidate);
var eCount = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++) {
var v = Page_Validators[i];
if (v.controltovalidate == val.controltovalidate) {
if (!v.isvalid) {
eCount++;
ctl.addClass('validationError');
$('td.question:eq(' + i + ')').addClass('red');
}
};
}
if (eCount > 0) {
ctl.addClass('validationError');
} else {
ctl.removeClass('validationError');
$('td.question:eq(' + i + ')').removeClass('red');
}
if (typeof (val.display) == "string") {
if (val.display == "None") {
return;
}
if (val.display == "Dynamic") {
val.style.display = val.isvalid ? "none" : "inline";
return;
}
}
if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mac") > -1) &&
(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") > -1)) {
val.style.display = "inline";
}
val.style.visibility = val.isvalid ? "hidden" : "visible";
}

It sounds like what you really need is custom validation. That way you can fully customize your validation to meet your needs.
Here is a simple example:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" >
function CustomValidator1_ClientValidate(source,args)
{
//put your javascript logic here
}
//-->
</script>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:RadioButton ID="RadioButton1" runat="server" GroupName="direction" Text="left" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="RadioButton2" runat="server" GroupName="direction" Text="right" />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" onclick="Button1_Click" />
<asp:CustomValidator id="CustomValidator1" runat="server" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="please choose" ClientValidationFunction="CustomValidator1_ClientValidate" OnServerValidate="CustomValidator1_ServerValidate"></asp:CustomValidator>
</div>
</form>
</body>
Server Side
protected void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
args.IsValid = RadioButton1.Checked || RadioButton2.Checked;
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsValid)
{
//validate is successful.
}
}
