How to get Textbox from <ItemTemplate> in Repeater ASP Net

I have a product catalog page. When you click on the "Add Product" button, page with a cart shows up. This page has a table with an ItemTemplate inside it. Is there any way to get the value from the textBox located inside that ItemTemplate and change the value in the column Total cost in the table by clicking the button? The main problem is that I cannot access the textBox since it's in the . Thank you.
Catalog page:

TextBox tQty = (TextBox)rRow.FindControl("txtQty");
Label tAmount = (Label)rRow.FindControl("txtAmount");
tAmount.Text = tQty.Text;
}
}
}
}

Ok, so you can set the index of the button, and pick this up in the Repeater "item command"
So, for your button, you can/want say this:
I have qty, price, and amount in the repeater. and button.
So, the markup can look like this:
Qty: <asp:TextBox ID="txtQty" runat="server" Width="130px" />
<br />
Price: <asp:TextBox ID="txtPrice" runat="server" Width="130px" />
<br />
Amount: <asp:TextBox ID="txtAmount" runat="server" Width="130px" />
<br />
<asp:Button ID="cmdUpdate" runat="server" Text="Update"
CommandName="MyUpdate"
CommandArgument = '<%# Container.ItemIndex %>'/>
So, you are now free to enter Qty, amount in any of the repeated items.
I have this:
Now, my repeater is going accross - and I think you should be using a listview since that better supports a grid + columnar layout - but it really don't mater (listview, gridview, repeater - they all work the same).
So, note how in our button we have both command Name, and command argument. In command argument I pass the row of the repeater.
So, the code looks like this:
protected void Repeater1_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
// update button in repeater clicked
// update amount based on qty, and price
if (e.CommandName == "MyUpdate")
{
RepeaterItem rRow = Repeater1.Items(e.CommandArgument);
TextBox tQty = rRow.FindControl("txtQty");
TextBox tPrice = rRow.FindControl("txtPrice");
TextBox tAmount = rRow.FindControl("txtAmount");
tAmount.Text = tQty.Text * tPrice.Text;
}
}
So, just pass the "index" of the repeater row as per above. We used this expression as command argument:
<asp:Button ID="cmdUpdate" runat="server" Text="Update"
CommandName="MyUpdate"
CommandArgument = '<%# Container.ItemIndex %>'/>
So, once you have the Item Index (row index), then you can run code against the one row and change that row as per above.
Edit:
So the full markup I have is this:
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<div style="border-style:solid;color:black;width:250px;float:left">
<div style="padding:5px;text-align:right">
Hotel Name: <asp:TextBox ID="txtHotelName" runat="server" Text ='<%# Eval("HotelName") %>' Width="130px" />
<br />
First Name: <asp:TextBox ID="txtFirst" runat="server" Text ='<%# Eval("FirstName") %>' Width="130px" />
<br />
Last Name: <asp:TextBox ID="txtLast" runat="server" Text ='<%# Eval("LastName") %>' Width="130px" />
<br />
Qty: <asp:TextBox ID="txtQty" runat="server" Width="130px" />
<br />
Price: <asp:TextBox ID="txtPrice" runat="server" Width="130px" />
<br />
Amount: <asp:TextBox ID="txtAmount" runat="server" Width="130px" />
<br />
<asp:Button ID="cmdUpdate" runat="server" Text="Update" CommandName="MyUpdate" CommandArgument = '<%# Container.ItemIndex %>' />
<div>
City : <asp:DropDownList ID="cboCity" runat="server" DataTextField="City"
DataValueField="City" Width="110px">
</asp:DropDownList>
<div style="float:right;text-align:center;margin-left:4px;">
<asp:Button ID="cmdAddCity" runat="server" Text="+" OnClick="cmdAddCity_Click" Height="16px" Width="12px" Font-Size="XX-Small" cssclass="btnPad" OnClientClick="AddCity();return false"/>
</div>
</div>
Active: <asp:CheckBox ID="chkActive" runat="server" Checked = '<%# Eval("Active") %>'/>
</div>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
The code to load up this repeater is this:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack == false)
LoadGrid();
}
public void LoadGrid()
{
cmdSQL.Connection.Open();
strSQL = "SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName, HotelName, City, Active from tblHotels ORDER BY HotelName";
using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand(strSQL, new SqlConnection(My.Settings.TEST3)))
{
cmdSQL.Connection.Open();
rstTable.Load(cmdSQL.ExecuteReader);
Repeater1.DataSource = rstTable;
Repeater1.DataBind();
}
}
so the above fills out the repeater - as noted, for a grid like layout, I would use a listview. Drag a list view into a web page.
use the wizards to connect to the database. Now blow out all the templates, only leave the itemtemplate.
Your code to load up the grid - same as above.
now, in place of the repeater as per previous screen shots?
You get this:
So your multiple lines that your building? They should be based on and around a listview. And each row can thus be grabbed, and addressed just as I did per above.
Do a google for listview examples - there is a like a billion examples.
Once you have this setup, then each row is a "thing" that repeats for you automatic based on the data from the table.
The markup for the list view - it again quite much follows the same ideas and concepts as a repeator. the listview for above looks like this:
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="ID">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr style="">
<td><asp:Label ID="IDLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>' /></td>
<td><asp:Label ID="FirstNameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("FirstName") %>' /></td>
<td><asp:Label ID="LastNameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("LastName") %>' /></td>
<td><asp:Label ID="HotelNameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("HotelName") %>' /></td>
<td><asp:Label ID="CityLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("City") %>' /></td>
<td><asp:CheckBox ID="ActiveCheckBox" runat="server" Checked='<%# Eval("Active") %>' Enabled="false" /></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<LayoutTemplate>
<table runat="server">
<tr runat="server">
<td runat="server">
<table id="itemPlaceholderContainer" runat="server" border="0" style="">
<tr runat="server" style="">

</tr>
<tr id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server">

</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr runat="server">
<td runat="server" style=""></td>
</tr>
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

ASP.NET (C#) - ListView

In past, i worked on ListViews (.net 2.0) using a custom Template field but what i am trying to achieve here is the following
I am now working on .net 4.6
So basically a list which shows items like above and on mouse-hover few options show up as shown in the following screenshot
I also have to trigger those option to do different things -
How can I do that in asp.net, may I please have some code references.
Cheers
P.S.
This is a rough example of how i am creating the List Item Template (as requested)
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<AlternatingItemTemplate>
<table >
<tr>
<td ><asp:Image ID="image1" ImageUrl='<%# Bind("url") %>' runat="server" Width="98px" /> </td>
<td><h2><asp:Label ID="_label" runat="server" Text ='<%# Bind("title") %>'></asp:Label></h2><asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text ='<%# Bind("description") %>'></asp:Label></td>
</tr>
</table>
</AlternatingItemTemplate>
<EmptyDataTemplate>
No data was returned.
</EmptyDataTemplate>
<ItemSeparatorTemplate>
<br />
</ItemSeparatorTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<table >
<tr>
<td ><asp:Image ID="image1" ImageUrl='<%# Bind("url") %>' runat="server" Width="98px" /> </td>
<td><h2><asp:Label ID="_label" runat="server" Text ='<%# Bind("title") %>'></asp:Label></h2><asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text ='<%# Bind("description") %>'></asp:Label></td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
<LayoutTemplate>
<ul id="itemPlaceholderContainer" runat="server" style="">
<li runat="server" id="itemPlaceholder" />
</ul>
<div style="">
</div>
</LayoutTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
I can add any html formatting to this template e,g i can add ASP:button etc but i don't know how to trigger those to perform certain tasks.

One easy way to achieve your requirement is to keep those buttons there but invisible and show them up when the parent container is hovered. following as a quick sample
aspx
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr class="row-data">
<td>
<asp:Label ID="NameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' />
</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="PositionLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Position") %>' />
</td>
<td>
<div class="btn-area">
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Button1" />
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Button2" />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<LayoutTemplate>
<table id="itemPlaceholderContainer" runat="server" border="0" style="">
<tr runat="server" style="">
<th runat="server">
Name
</th>
<th runat="server">
Position
</th>
<th>
</th>
</tr>
<tr id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server">
</tr>
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
css
.btn-area
{
display: none;
}
.row-data:hover .btn-area
{
display: block;
}
code-behind
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ListView1.DataSource = new List<dynamic>() {
new { Name = "Andy", Position = "PG"},
new { Name = "Bill", Position = "SD"},
new { Name = "Caroline", Position = "Manager"}
};
ListView1.DataBind();
}
UPDATE
ListView ItemCommand can capture the postback by button pressed and CommandName makes you able to recognize which button fired it.
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Button1" CommandName="c1" />
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Button2" CommandName="c2" />
code-behind
protected void ListView1_ItemCommand(object sender, ListViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "c1")
{
// do something when button1 pressed
}
else if (e.CommandName == "c1")
{
// do something when button2 pressed
}
}

In Paged Listview CheckBox_CheckedChanged event not working

The Problem is when I check the checkbox it works great, but when I check the checkbox on next page. previous page check boxes gets unchecked.
Checked box Checked/Unchecked event fires CheckedChanged event. But when I check the checkbox in listview next page of listview it uncheck's the checkboxes of listview previous Page.
ListView.aspx Code
<table class=" example1 table table-bordered table-striped">

<th>Delete</th>
</tr>

<asp:ListView ID="ListCourse" runat="server" OnItemCommand="ListCourse_ItemCommand" DataKeyNames="CID">

<tr id="ItemPlaceholder" runat="server">
</tr>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr class="gradeA">
<td>
<asp:Label ID="lblSrno" runat="server" Text='<%# Container.DataItemIndex+1 %>'></asp:Label>
</td>

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkEdit" runat="server" PostBackUrl='<%# "Add_New_Course.aspx?ID="+ Eval("CID")%>'>Edit</asp:LinkButton>
</td>
<td>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkDelete" runat="server" CommandName="DeleteCourse" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("CID") %>' OnClientClick='return confirm("Do you want to delete record ??")'> Delete</asp:LinkButton>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
</tbody>
</table>
Code Behind CheckedChanged
protected void CheckCourse_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CheckBox checkhome = (CheckBox)sender;
ListViewItem item = (ListViewItem)checkhome.NamingContainer;
ListViewDataItem dataItem = (ListViewDataItem)item;
string code = ListCourse.DataKeys[dataItem.DisplayIndex].Value.ToString();
int CID = Convert.ToInt32(code);
Course_Master objnew = DB.Course_Master.Single(p => p.CID == CID);
bool IsHome = CheckOnHome(CID);
if (IsHome == true)
{
if (checkhome.Checked == false)
{
objnew.ShowOnHomePage = false;
}
}
else
{
if (checkhome.Checked == true)
{
objnew.ShowOnHomePage = true;
}
}
DB.SaveChanges();
}

It doesn't fire because when the postback fires the server doesn't know the previous state of the checkbox, so it doesn't know if it's changed or not.
Try to set the default value to false and it should work
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckCourse" runat="server" Checked="false" Style="margin-left: 50px;" OnCheckedChanged="CheckCourse_CheckedChanged" AutoPostBack="true" />

You need to save ids somewhere of checked item from the list. As when you move to the page 2 of ListView it lost its previous state.
Store data in viewstate and load it from there. To read and to bind it, you would need to handle PagePropertiesChanging and ItemDataBound event handlers of ListView.
Here is a good explaination regarding Maintaining the state of checkboxes in ListView
Please give +1 if it helped. Cheers!

Thank you Guys for the help. I solved it using some simple procedure's by removing the check-boxes from the ListView and adding text instead of it regarding whether the checkbox is checked or not(Yes/No). As I thought it will the easiest way to solve my problem.

Get Repeater Label in the current "row" being accessed

I have the following Repeater:
<asp:Repeater ID="RptLeaveRequests" runat="server"
onitemdatabound="RptLeaveRequests_ItemDataBound"> <ItemTemplate>
<table id="tableItem" runat="server">
<tr>
<td style="width: 100px;">
<asp:Label ID="lblDate" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Date", "{0:dd/M/yyyy}") %>'></asp:Label>
</td>
<td style="width: 100px;">
<asp:Label ID="lblHours" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Hours") %>'></asp:Label>
</td>
<td style="width: 200px;">
<asp:Label ID="lblPeriod" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("AMorPM") %>'></asp:Label>
</td>
<td style="width: 200px; font-size:10px;">
<asp:Label ID="lblNote" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Note") %>'></asp:Label>
</td>
<td style="50px">
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rbtVerified" runat="server" >
<asp:ListItem Value="1">Accept</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">Reject</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtNotes" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I am trying to get the data in each Label (ex: Convert.ToString((Label)item.FindControl("Date")) ) but it is returning an empty string, what am I doing wrong:
foreach (RepeaterItem item in RptLeaveRequests.Items)
{
var rdbList = item.FindControl("rbtVerified") as RadioButtonList;
switch (rdbList.SelectedValue)
{
case "1":
if (new LeaveLogic().AddLeaveEmployee(Convert.ToString((Label)item.FindControl("Date")), Convert.ToDouble((Label)item.FindControl("Hours")), Convert.ToString((Label)item.FindControl("AMorPM")), "Vacational Leave", Convert.ToInt32(Context.User.Identity.Name), Convert.ToString((Label)item.FindControl("Note")))
{
Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl);
}
break;

I believe it's not working because you aren't finding the controls. FindControl will return null if it can't find the control, and Convert.ToString will return an empty string if the object value is null.
From what I can see, you are searching for the wrong string ID. So instead of Date, it should be lblDate.
If you are in debug build mode, keep in mind that ASP.NET loves to change your control names at runtime, so "lblDate" control might not actually be "lblDate". So you can try debugging on the browser and inspect your elements' IDs for their actual IDs.
Also, you probably want to do this instead if you want the label's actual data (notice the .Text):
((Label)item.FindControl("lblDate")).Text

Radio buttons not working when binded with DataList control

When i tries to bind a radio button in a datalist it becomes multiselect as its name property becomes different even when i used GroupName to be same.
How can i make it act as radio button only.
<asp:DataList ID="dlRoomNo" runat="server" RepeatColumns="4">
<ItemTemplate>
<div class="orboxfour">
<ul class="boxfour">
<li>
<asp:RadioButton ID="rdoRoomNo" GroupName="roomNo"
Text='<%#Eval("Room No")%>' runat="server" />
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

There's a number of suggestions in the answers to this question.
I've solved it with a bit of jQuery, though the way I did it probably isn't the best way!
In my markup, I have a script block with
function SetUniqueRadioButton(current)
{
$('input:radio').attr('checked', false);
current.checked = true;
}
and then attached the script to a radio button in my code-behind in the ItemDataBound event
String uniqueRadioButtonScript;
RadioButton radioButton;
uniqueRadioButtonScript = "javascript:SetUniqueRadioButton(this);";
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
radioButton = (RadioButton)e.Row.FindControl("MyRadioButton");
radioButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", uniqueRadioButtonScript)
}

the best option is like this:
1. Add script
function fnrad(rbtn) {
var radioList = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i = 0 ; i < radioList.length; i++) {
if (radioList[i].type == "radio") {
radioList[i].name = 'a';
radioList[i].setAttribute("Checked","");
}
}
rbtn.setAttribute("Checked", "checked");
}
Datalist will be like this:
<asp:DataList ID="dlEmails" RepeatLayout="Flow" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Select Email Address </th>
<th>Status</th>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:RadioButton ID="rbtnSelect" Text='<%#Eval("Emails") %>' onclick='fnrad(this);' GroupName="a" Checked='<%#Eval("Primary") %>' runat="server" /><br />
(<asp:Label ID="lblId" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Verified") %>'> </asp:Label>)
</td>
<td valign="middle">
<asp:Label ID="Label2" Style="display: none;" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Id") %>'> </asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Main") %>'> </asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
