I am trying to have a textbox that the user can alter the value and when they click add I want to be able to pull that text into the C# code and work with it.
I cant get it into my C# code.
protected void getQty(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//After clicking "add"....
//Do something here to get text from each TextBox1 in the Child gridview
}
Someone please help before I lose what little hair I have left...

protected void getQty(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//After clicking "add"....
string s;
for(i=0; i < gvChild.Rows.Count; i++)
{
s = ((TextBox)gvChild.Rows[i].FindControl("TextBox1")).Text;
}
//Do what you want to with this string
}

page load with child grids taking too much of time in loading the page

I have three grids - Category grid, Items grid and Sub Items Grid. I have category grid (grdCategories) and for each category there are many items which i bind to child grids (grdItems). For every item there are many sub items which i display in sub child grid (grdSubItems). Now the problem is that page takes too much of time in loading the data. My HTML Code is below:
It takes even minutes to load the data:

You need to provide all of your code before we can provide an accurate answer.
For example:
Where SubItemBL is defined?
Also try to see what line is the exact bottleneck.
Is it
bl.FetchForCategory(aDataSet, Category, RowId);
or
grdSubItems.DataBind();
If above line is the bottleneck, note that Gridview binding to a datasource with large number of data is indeedslow. how large is your data?

GridViewRow not returning proper cells

So I have this problem with one of my pages, which basically lists out a bunch of comments for a specified student. The comments are supposed to be editable, but I'm having a problem with getting the contents of a row (so I can display the comment content in a TextBox and allow for edits).
The issue is that whenever I access the GridViewRow from the GridView like such:
this.CommentList.Rows[e.NewEditIndex]
It is returning a collection of cells, but whenever I try access the a cell like so: row.Cells[0].Text (where row is the selected GridViewRow object) it doesn't return any values.
Here is my .aspx code:
<asp:GridView ID="CommentList" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="5"
ShowHeader="false" Width="100%" DataKeyNames="CommentId" OnRowDeleting="CommentList_RowDeleting"
OnRowCancelingEdit="CommentList_RowCancelingEdit" OnRowEditing="CommentList_RowEditing">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Student ID">
<ItemTemplate>
<b>Author:</b>
<%# ((Comment)Container.DataItem).Author.Name %>
<br />
<b>Date:</b>
<%# ((Comment)Container.DataItem).Created %>
<hr style="border-top: solid 1px black" />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<asp:Panel ID="OptionsPanel" runat="server">
<asp:LinkButton ID="DeleteLinkButton" CommandName="Delete" runat="server" OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this comment?');">Delete</asp:LinkButton>
|
<asp:LinkButton ID="EditLinkButton" runat="server" CommandName="Edit">Edit</asp:LinkButton>
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="EditOptionsPanel" runat="server" Visible="false">
<asp:LinkButton ID="CancelEditLinkButton" runat="server" CommandName="Cancel">Cancel</asp:LinkButton>
</asp:Panel>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle CssClass="topLeftJustify" Width="200px" />
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Panel ID="ViewCommentPanel" runat="server">
<%# ((Comment)Container.DataItem).Content%>
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="EditCommentPanel" runat="server" Visible="false">
<asp:TextBox ID="Comment" runat="server" CssClass="textEntry" TextMode="MultiLine"
Width="100%" Height="100px"></asp:TextBox>
</asp:Panel>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle CssClass="topLeftJustify" />
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Here is my .aspx.cs code (that relates to the code above):
protected void CommentList_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{
try
{
GridViewRow row = this.CommentList.Rows[e.NewEditIndex];
((Panel)row.FindControl("OptionsPanel")).Visible = false;
((Panel)row.FindControl("EditOptionsPanel")).Visible = true;
((Panel)row.FindControl("ViewCommentPanel")).Visible = false;
((Panel)row.FindControl("EditCommentPanel")).Visible = true;
// problem is with this line. it doesn't show the contents of the "comment"
((TextBox)row.FindControl("Comment")).Text = row.Cells[0].Text;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this.Messages.ChangeMessage(ex.Message, MessageType.Error);
}
}

When you use a TemplateField you cannot use e.Row.Cells[index].Text to access a control text of the cell. I would simply add a Label to the panel.
But you can also try it this way:
Panel ViewCommentPanel = (Panel) e.Row.FindControl("ViewCommentPanel");
LiteralControl objPanelText = ViewCommentPanel.Controls[0] as LiteralControl;
TextBox Comment = (TextBox) row.FindControl("Comment");
Comment.Text = objPanelText.Text;

Hidden fields in a grid won't import to a edit form

I've got a grid that only displays one piece of information such as a title. Other fields are hidden. When you click edit a modal popup displays a form and imports the information from the grid for editing. The information in hidden field are not imported though. I don't want to display all the information in the grid because I have only room for the title.
How can I make this work? Thanks. Risho

txtTitle.Text = gvrow.Cells[0].Text;
lblMessage.Text = gvrow.Cells[3].Text;
this.ModalPopupExtender1.Show();
}

The Cell-Text is empty if you are using TemplateFields with nested controls . You need to get the reference to the controls and use their appropriate properties(like TextBox.Text or HiddenField.Value). Therefor you can use FindControl on the GridViewRow:
var hfId = (HiddenField)gvrow.FindControl("hfId");
var hfDesc = (HiddenField)gvrow.FindControl("hfDesc");
txtTitle.Text = gvrow.Cells[0].Text;
lblID.Value = hfId.Value;
txtTitle.Text = hfdesc.Value;

When I upload the file , I want the giedview which is in the child updatepanel to be updated .But it doesnt work Any ideas?????
thanks in advance

Call child.Update(); in BrochureUpload_UploadedComplete event.
protected void BrochureUpload_UploadedComplete(object sender, AsyncFileUploadEventArgs e)
{
....................
....................
bindGridView();//I have code to bind gridview
child.Update();
}

When file upload is complete then call Child.Update() method of UpdatePanel which contain gridview. You need to do that because you set UpdateMode="Conditional" in this case you have to manually update it in code.

ChildrenAsTriggers="True" in your updatepanel.
