ASP C# Gridview confirmation on delete and prompt user with text message

I'm using ASP C# VS 2015. I managed to generate a gridview with data from MySQL. The update and delete command appear as links and I managed to hooked them up to the events properly.
Now I would like to add a feature to add confirmation before delete plus a message (textbox) for reason of deletion?
How do I do that in .NET?
I'm well versed in PHP and jQuery but still in learning curve in .NET.
Thanks in advance.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="id"
OnRowDataBound="OnRowDataBound" OnRowEditing="OnRowEditing" OnRowCancelingEdit="OnRowCancelingEdit"
OnRowUpdating="OnRowUpdating" EmptyDataText="No records has been added." OnRowDeleting="OnRowDeleting" OnRowDeleted="OnRowDeleted">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Id" ItemStyle-Width="20">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblId" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("id") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="20px"></ItemStyle>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Email">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblEmail" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("email") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" ShowDeleteButton="True" DeleteText="Reject" headertext="Controls"></asp:CommandField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Try this
protected void OnRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
string item = e.Row.Cells[0].Text;
foreach (Button button in e.Row.Cells[2].Controls.OfType<Button>())
{
if (button.CommandName == "Delete")
{
button.Attributes["onclick"] = "if(!confirm('Do you want to delete " + item + "?')){ return false; };";
}
}
}
}

FindControl returns null in OnRowCommand Event

I have a gridview with few controls in it and I'm trying to get these controls in OnRowCommand event by using the FindControl method, but it always returns null.
This is the gridview
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" CssClass="table table-striped table-bordered" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataKeyNames="ID" OnRowCancelingEdit="GridView1_RowCancelingEdit" OnRowEditing="GridView1_RowEditing"
OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound" OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand" OnRowUpdating="GridView1_RowUpdating">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Service Type">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("Fund_Service_Type") %>' runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlServiceType" runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Method">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("Fund_Method") %>' runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlFundMethod" runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Source">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("Fund_Source") %>' runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlFundSource" runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Amount">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("Fund_Amount") %>' runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtAmount" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Fund_Amount")%>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField Visible="true" HeaderText="" ShowHeader="false">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnRedirect" runat="server" CommandArgument='<%# Bind("ID") %>' CommandName="CompleteTransaction" Text="Complete Transaction"></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
And here is the row command event
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName.Equals("CompleteTransaction"))
{
GridViewRow gvr = (GridViewRow)(((LinkButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);
int rowIndex = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument); // Get the current row
DropDownList ddlServiceType = (DropDownList)GridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[0].FindControl("ddlServiceType");//retuns null
GridViewRow selectedRow = GridView1.Rows[rowIndex];
DropDownList name = (DropDownList)gvr.Cells[0].FindControl("ddlServiceType"); //also returns null
Server.Transfer("~/Transaction.aspx");
}
}
what I'm trying to do is get the selected row so and values from its controls, so that I can use them in Transaction page.
Edit: The FindControl method is working fine in RowUpdating and RowDataBound events

Since your DropDownLists is in the EditItemTemplate, you need to use the EditIndex to get the correct row.
DropDownList ddlServiceType = (DropDownList)GridView1.Rows[GridView1.EditIndex].FindControl("ddlServiceType");
ddlServiceType.BackColor = Color.Red;

this may help you out
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName.Equals("CompleteTransaction"))
{
int rowIndex = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument); // Get the current row
GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[index];
Label lblName = (Label)row.FindControl("lblName")
DropDownList drpList= (DropDownList)row.FindControl("ddlServiceType");
lblName.Text = drpList.SelectedValue;
}
}

Access GridView ItemTemplate control ASP.NET

I am using ASP.NET GridView on ASPX page:
<asp:GridView ID="GrdLimitAndUtilization" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None"
Width="99%" meta:resourcekey="GrdAccountListResource1" OnRowDataBound="GrdLimitAndUtilization_RowDataBound"
ShowHeader="True" rowstyle-cssclass="rowHover" ClientIDMode="Static" CssClass="gridView">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Excess" meta:resourcekey="Excess">
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" Width="120px" CssClass="gridheader" />
<HeaderTemplate> <asp:Label ID="col5a" Text="Excess" runat="server"></asp:Label></HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkExcess" runat="server" value='' Text='<%# Bind("Excess") %>'
meta:resourcekey="HyperLink1Resource1"></asp:HyperLink>
<asp:Label ID="Excess_Currency" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Currency") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="120px" HorizontalAlign="Left" CssClass="customerProductItemTemp gridviewLeftMargin" />
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I know I can access GridView column by following code:
GrdLimitAndUtilization.Rows[0].Cells[0].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
BUT, How can I access value/text of only HyperLink control with ID="lnkExcess"??
Thanks.

You can use RowDataBound event like this:-
protected void GrdLimitAndUtilization_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
HyperLink lnkExcess = (HyperLink)e.Row.FindControl("lnkExcess");
//Access hyperlink's properties here.
}
}

Create hyperlink button cells in gridview using C# asp.net

I am having a GridView in my web page. Which is displaying the data with the columns as Status, Name , Id and Action. My status column always filled with the 3 values(Complete, Queued and Failed) randomly.
Now I want to display this status column values as a link ,If it is having the value either "Failed" or "Queued". But "Complete" status should not be display as a link.
How Can I achive this design during the runtime?
My Code for binding the data into the grid is,
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dtActionList = clsactionList.GetADActionList();
grdADActionList.DataSource = dtActionList;
grdADActionList.DataBind();
}
protected void grdADActionList_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow gvr in grdADActionList.Rows)
{
if ((gvr.FindControl("Label1") as Label).Text == "Completed")
{
(gvr.FindControl("Label1") as Label).Visible = true;
(gvr.FindControl("HyperLink1") as HyperLink).Visible = false;
}
}
}
using this code I am just simply binding the values in the grid. I am not able to create the Status column as having link buttons based on the binded values for that status column.
My .aspx Code is:
<asp:GridView ID="grdADActionList" runat="server" Height="83px" Width="935px" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnRowDataBound="grdADActionList_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status" SortExpression="Status">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl='http://localhost:52807/Default.aspx?'><%# Eval("Status") %>
</asp:HyperLink>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="<%# Container.DataItem %>" Visible="False"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="GivenName" HeaderText="GivenName"/>
Please help me to do this further....

On GridViewDataBound event, just hide the link and display a simple label if the value is complete.
ASP.NET:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status" SortExpression="Status">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl='your_url'>
<%# Eval("Status") %>
</asp:HyperLink>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="<%# Eval("Status") %>" Visible="False"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
C#:
protected void onGridViewDataBound()
{
foreach(GridViewRow gvr in grd)
if((gvr.FindControl("Label1") as Label).Text.ToLower() == "complete") // Updated Line
{
(gvr.FindControl("Label1") as Label).Visible = true;
(gvr.FindControl("HyperLink1") as HyperLink).Visible = false;
}
}

you have to work in design file means .aspx file
you have to use and
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" EnableModelValidation="True">
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Hyperlink">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("CODE", #"http://localhost/Test.aspx?code={0}") %>'
Text='link to code'>
</asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>

You can place an handler on RowDataBound event
protected void gw_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
DataRowView v_DataRowView = (DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem;
string NavigateUrl = <....place your link here with DataRowView info>
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", NavigateUrl);
}
}

For now you have your columns auto generated, so first disable that feature. Then you need to define each column as a BoundField, and for the hypelink, taking into account your condition, the best way is to define template field:
<asp:GridView ID="grdADActionList" runat="server" BorderStyle="Double" BorderWidth="3px"
Height="83px" Width="935px"
AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Action" HeaderText="Action"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Id" HeaderText="Id"/>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/link/address" Text='<%# Eval("Status") %>'
Visible='<%# (int)Eval("Status") != 1 %>'/>
<asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Status") %>'
Visible='<%# (int)Eval("Status") == 1 %>'>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Note that this is just a variation - you have not specified what values does Status column contain, so I assumed this is int-based enumeration.

How to modify this checkbox inside the GridView?

I have the following database design:
Employee Table: Username, Name, JobTitle, BadgeNo, IsActive, DivisionCode
Divisions Table: SapCode, DivisionShortcut
And I have a GridView that I am using it to add, delete and update/edit the employees information. This information is employee Username, Name, BadgeNo, JobTitle, IsActive and the DivisionShortcut. IsActive is a flag that indicates if the employee is available or in an assignment. I made it as a checkbox and the column should show two values; Active and Inactive. In the Edit mode, the Checkbox will be displayed. If it is checked, then it means the employee is avaiable, otherwise it is inactive.
I wrote the code and everything works fine, but now I am facing two problems and I don't know how to make them work with my code.
The GridView shows True or False instead of Active and Inactive and
I don't know why.
In the Edit mode, the checkbox will be displayed and the values (Active or Inactive) will be displayed besides to it and it shouldn't be displayed. I just want the checkbox to be displayed.
So how to modify them?

isActive.Text = "Active or Inactive";
// First check Checkedbox is check or not, if not make it grey
//if (e.Row.Cells[6].Text == "False")
// GridView1.BackColor = Color.Gray;
}
}
And I am getting the following error and I don't know why:

For question no: 1
You have to add an Row_DataBound Event of your grid view, in which you select the IsActive column and replaced its text by Active and InActive. But before going to code behind make a little change to you aspx code: In your item template instead of direct binding place a label control and bind it as I does in the below code:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Is Active?">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblIsActive" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("IsActive") %>' ></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="isActive" runat="server"
AutoPostBack="true" OnCheckedChanged="isActive_OnCheckedChanged"
Checked='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("IsActive")) %>'
Text='<%# Eval("IsActive").ToString().Equals("True") ? " Active " : " Inactive " %>'/>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// here you will select the IsActive column and modify it's text
Label isActive=new Label();
isActive = (Label) e.row.FindControl("lblIsActive");
// after getting the reference set its text
isActive.Text="Active or InActive";
}
}
For question no 2:
Remove the condition form this
Eval("IsActive").ToString().Equals("True") ? " Active " : " Inactive " %>'
and replace it with
Eval("IsActive")
Now check boxes will be displayed.
Updated Answer:
You are receiving an object reference not found error, Please debug your site and check it why you are unable to get the exact reference. I saw you code and it looks that your code is fine.
To prove that my code is working,I created a gridview with a single column
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("name") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
// and bind this grid view in the Page_Load of my Page
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("name");
DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
row[0] = "Waqar Janjua";
dt.Rows.Add(row);
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
// When I view this page in the browser it shows "Waqar Janjua"
// Now to update the columns text, I add the following code and it works.
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowState != DataControlRowState.Edit)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
Label l = new Label();
l = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("Label1");
l.Text = "waqar";
}
}
}
// When I run this page now, it shows me "Waqar" not "Waqar Janjua" The code works for me.

It is returning "true" or "false" as it is expecting a boolean data type from IsActive. If you want to change that out put, I suspect you need to amend this conditionally on the ItemDataBound event of the grid.
