How to find TextBox in GridViewRow edit mode - c#

I have tried several so called answers for this and it has me lost. I am simply trying to default a TextBox Text value with today's date and time, but I cannot find the control when I click LinkButton with CommandName "Edit".
Here is my gridview...
<asp:GridView ID="gvSignInRegister" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="3"
DataSourceID="sdsSignInRegister" ForeColor="Black" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#999999" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" GridLines="Vertical" OnRowCommand="gvSignInRegister_RowCommand1">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Returned" SortExpression="DateTimeReturned">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtReturned" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:ImageButton runat="Server" ID="calImg" ImageUrl="~/images/Calendar_scheduleHS.png" AlternateText="Click to show calendar" CausesValidation="False" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfv1" runat="server" SetFocusOnError="true" ValidationGroup="vg1" ControlToValidate="txtReturned" ErrorMessage="Required"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender ID="ce1" runat="server" PopupButtonID="calImg" Enabled="true" Format="dd/MM/yyyy" TargetControlID="txtReturned" PopupPosition="TopRight" OnClientDateSelectionChanged="AppendTime"></ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label9" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("DateTimeReturned","{0:dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField ShowHeader="False">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnCAN" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" CommandName="Cancel" Text="CANCEL" />
<asp:Button ID="btnUPD" runat="server" ValidationGroup="vg1" CausesValidation="true" CommandName="Update" Text="UPDATE" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnEDT" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" CommandName="Edit" CommandArgument='<%# Container.DataItemIndex %>' Text="SIGN IN" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<FooterStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#999999" ForeColor="Black" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#000099" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="Black" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" />
</asp:GridView>
The LinkButton btnEDT works and puts the gridview in edit mode. But in code behind I cannot find "txtReturned".
This is what I've tried so far...
protected void gvSignInRegister_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Edit")
{
int rowIdx = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
GridViewRow row = gvSignInRegister.Rows[rowIdx];
if (row != null && row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
TextBox tb = (TextBox)row.FindControl("txtReturned");
if (tb != null) tb.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");
//I've tried this too but it does not work. Interestingly, it does not crash, so cells[4] must exist!
//row.Cells[4].Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");
}
}
}
For some reason the rowIdx is always 0. Why? I thought a row index of 0 meant the header of the gridview control.
I've also tried using the NamingContainer that most other people have suggested in other posts, but that returns a blank (I suspect new?) GridViewRow.
ie
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((GridViewRow)(e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);
UPDATE
I found this, which is exactly the problem I am having, but the solution via the RowEditing still does not find the textbox!
However the RowDataBound() solved it! Read my answer below.

The answer was in getting into the editmode version of the GridView itself and then find the control!
As per this post...
<asp:GridView ID="gvSignInRegister" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="3"
DataSourceID="sdsSignInRegister" ForeColor="Black" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#999999" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" GridLines="Vertical" OnRowDataBound="gvSignInRegister_RowDataBound">
<Columns> ...etc...
protected void gvSignInRegister_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
if ((e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) > 0)
{
TextBox tb = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("txtReturned");
if (tb != null) tb.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");
}
}
}

Use Container.DisplayIndex instead of Container.DataItemIndex
But I dont think you will get textBox control if you are placing it in EditItemTemplate
If your expectation is editing operation then please use the below code

Column sum of only visible row

I am trying to calculate the sum of the grand total column and showing it to the footer of the gridview, which I am able to achieve it. However I have a condition which makes some rows invisible from the gridview, but it is also summing the value of the rows which are invisible. How to sum the column value only for the rows which are visible?
Below is my gridview:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView9" runat="server" AllowPaging="false" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
ShowFooter="true" BackColor="White" DataKeyNames="ID" BorderColor="#999999" CssClass="tableUserInfo"
GridLines="Vertical" ShowHeaderWhenEmpty="True" PageSize="10" OnRowDataBound="GridView9_RowDataBound">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="SessionId" Visible="true">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_GSessionId" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("SessionId") %>' ReadOnly="true"
Visible="false"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
<HeaderStyle Width="10%" />
<ItemStyle Width="10%" />
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Customer" Visible="true">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblCustomerName" Font-Size="11px" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("CustomerName") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<HeaderStyle Width="8%" />
<ItemStyle Width="8%" />
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="G_Total" Visible="true">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblGTotal" Font-Size="11px" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("GTotal","{0:n}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblTotal" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</FooterTemplate>
<FooterStyle Width="30%" />
<HeaderStyle Width="8%" />

</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<FooterStyle BackColor="Black" ForeColor="Red" Width="100%" Wrap="false" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="Black" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
</asp:GridView>
Here is my code behind:
decimal grdTotal;
protected void GridView9_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
txt_SessionId.Text = ddlSession.SelectedValue;
foreach (GridViewRow row2 in GridView9.Rows)
{
TextBox sid = row2.FindControl("txt_GSessionId") as TextBox;
int a, b;
a = int.Parse(sid.Text);
b = int.Parse(txt_SessionId.Text);
if (a == b)
{
row2.Visible = true;
}
else
{
row2.Visible = false;
}
}
if (e.Row.Visible && e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
decimal rowTotal = Convert.ToDecimal(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "GTotal"));
grdTotal = grdTotal + rowTotal;
}
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Footer)
{
Label lbl = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblTotal");
Label lbl1 = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblLabourTotal");
lbl.Font.Size = 12;
lbl.Text = "Rs. " + grdTotal.ToString("0");
lbl.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
}
}

Unable to get data from TextBox/DDL in Gridview

I have been looking all over web and testing what I think would work. I feel close but I guess not close enough. I need help pull the data in. The button click is to submit/insert data into the DB which I have not completed that part. Right now I am working on just getting data from the Gridview and need help.
The Update Button is outside the Gridview. I want end user to complete GridView then click update to submit data from Gridview to database.
Here is ASPX
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" DataSourceID="dsSnumbers" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound"

And here is the .CS side
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow g1 in GridView1.Rows)
{
int RI = g1.RowIndex;
//SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connStr);
TextBox test = (TextBox)g1.Cells[0].FindControl("TextBox1");
TextBox test1 = (TextBox)g1.Cells[1].FindControl("TextBox1");
GridViewRow Grow = (GridViewRow)g1.NamingContainer;
TextBox txtledName = (TextBox)Grow.FindControl("TextBox1");
DropDownList testdd1 = (DropDownList)g1.Cells[0].FindControl("DdStatus");
DropDownList testdd2 = (DropDownList)g1.Cells[1].FindControl("DdStatus");
string test1324 = g1.Cells[1].Text;
string test2 = g1.Cells[2].Text;
string test3 = g1.Cells[3].Text;
}
}
Update:
When I run the below I can read the button click whether it is checked or not. However the textbox and dropdown still do nothing. I show ONLY rindex is pulling values. None of the others.
foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
{
int rindex = row.DataItemIndex;
//string Test = ((TextBox)(row.Cells[0].Controls[0])).Text;
TextBox IDNum = (TextBox)row.FindControl("TextBox1");
string textBox1 = ((TextBox)row.FindControl("TextBox1")).Text;
string ddl1 = ((DropDownList)row.FindControl("DdStatus")).SelectedValue;
string ddl2 = ((DropDownList)row.FindControl("DdDept")).SelectedValue;
int ddl1231 = ((DropDownList)row.FindControl("DdStatus")).SelectedIndex;
int ddl1232 = ((DropDownList)row.FindControl("DdDept")).SelectedIndex;

please help me how to get the DatakeyName
First you need to add an OnRowCreated event to your gridview
OnRowCreated="GridView1_RowCreated"
An in .cs file add this ( set the Rowindex value in CommandArgument so you can get this on RoeCommand)
protected void GridView1_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
ImageButton imgbtnEdit= (ImageButton)e.Row.FindControl("lnkUrlID");
imgbtnEdit.CommandArgument = e.Row.RowIndex.ToString();
ImageButton imgbtnDelete= (ImageButton )e.Row.FindControl("lnkExtend");
imgbtnDelete.CommandArgument = e.Row.RowIndex.ToString();
}
}
Now at your GridView1_RowCommand try this
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Edit")
{
int sid = Convert.ToInt32(GridView1.DataKeys[Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument)].Value);
}
}

my code is.....
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
Int64 forumId = (Int64)GridView1.SelectedValue;
Session["forumId"] = forumId;
Response.Redirect("Thread.aspx");
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}
First you have to define field name in grid view declaration that which field you want to make datakey. for example if you want "forumId" datakey.than
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged"
DataKeyNames="forumId">
and than you can access in this way
int intforumid = Convert.ToInt32(GridView1.DataKeys[row.RowIndex].Values[0]);
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
Int64 forumId = Convert.ToInt64(GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text);
Session["forumId"] = forumId;
Response.Redirect("Thread.aspx");
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}
Looks like you just need to set DataKeyNames property to forumId like;
<asp:GridView DataKeyNames = "forumId" ...
you can set DataKeyNames as forumId like below
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames = "forumId" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged">
Since you haven't give any data key names in current solution GridView1.SelectedValue will not contain the value you expected
You would need to specify the unique column name in the gridview to be set under the Datakey tab.
From there, you would need to invoke the _selectedIndexChanged method on the behind page code.
If you are not using gridview select event in your page.cs code then you just remove OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged" from the aspx code of page of gridview.
