I am using asp.net 4 and c#.
I have a gridview with a textbox that needs a unique value for the database. This value is to sort the data by precendence with in the database.
All my other validators work but they only check the value in the one box.
How do I validate that the integers are unique in that column.
The only thing I found to do this is "DataKeyNames" but that does not stop it from allowing repeating numbers.
Updating the order is done on button click.
Thanks for info.
You can use a customvalidator for validating this. In the CustomValidator's OnServerValidate function you can repeat through all the rows of the grid view, get the textbox and its value and perform the unique check.
For the Integer validation you can add a CompareValidator with Operator="DataTypeCheck" Type="Integer"
I suppose you could write a JavaScript method that will scan the contents of the grid onclientclick before submit.

I have a GridView that contains a TemplateField with a TextBox in it (permanently in edit mode, you might say). The data from the GridViewRow is updated in the database automatically when the TextBoxChanged event fires. I am looking for a way to add a RangeValidator to the TextBox so that it will not allow values greater than a BoundField from the same row in the GridView.
I have other validators working on this TextBox, including a manually set RangeValidator. However, in all my googling, I haven't found any examples of making a RangeValidator dynamically pull from a TextBox, so I'm not sure if this is even possible. If it can pull from a TextBox, is there a way to get that value from a GridView's BoundField?
Figured out how to do it within a GridView (still no idea how it might work outside the GridView). Basically it comes down to adding in a data binding section where the max value would be entered (similar to binding a value to the TextBox itself):
<asp:RangeValidator ID="ShareTextBoxRangeValidator" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="!" ControlToValidate="ShareTextBox"
MaximumValue='<%# Eval("Cost") %>' MinimumValue="0"
Display="Dynamic" ClientIDMode="Predictable" Type="Double"/>
I found that Bind and Eval work equally well, but left it at Eval since it won't be updating the data.
A further note about Validators and GridViews: If you have set your page's ClientIDMode to Static, you must explicitly set it back to Predictable (or AutoID) on both the Validator and the control to be validated. Otherwise you will get key violation errors.
I have a details view that is in "insert Mode" so the user just sees blank spaces to enter values. I have two drop down lists and I wanted to have the second ddl change its value by what was selected in the first ddl. I tried setting ddl1 to a label so ddl2 would change when the label changed. The problem I am having now is that I need autopostback to update the value of the label, but selecting "autopostback" on the ddl1 makes my code throw a data binding error.
I was wondering if there was any way I could get around using autopostback and still update values selected in the first ddl to the label.
Thank you.
Try using AjaxControlToolkit. It has a feature to cascade ddlists. Use updatepanel as container for both of ddls so you can omit autopostback.
Your query is not completely clear. But if you want to change the dd2 value on change event of dd1, you can use the following code:
$("#<%= statusDDL.ClientID %>").val($("#<%= dd1.ClientID %>option:selected").text() );
It is not clear whether you want value or text property.
Also I am not 100% that this syntax will work. But obviously it can be done using this concept searching on net for your requirement
I have a GridView which is completely user defined. The first column of the GridView is from the ListBox1. The headers are defined using ListBox2.
There fore I need to update rows of the GridView with some integer value and make sure the Gridview holds that value until a button is clicked.
Once the button is clicked I want to read each columns of the GridView that has values entered and create a table in the database with the headers names as columns and just replicate the GridView as table in database.
I have attached a screenshot of my GridView. Kindly help me fix this problem.
There are 2 key things to implement UPDATE logic in a GridView
In the GridView markup, you have to add an eventhandler for OnRowUpdating event
<asp:GridView ID="XXX" runat="Server" .....
OnRowUpdating="UpdateRecord" ..........>
Then you need to implement this "UpdateRecord" method referred above with your custom code which will basically retrieve the data from the grid row and update it to your datasource
You can refer to some sample code of how this can be achieved here
To point out again, in your case, since you want to dynamically create the table as well, you will need to additionally do that as well. Personally, i have no clue why you would go with such a design but in absence of any information, i assume you know best.
I have a textbox named textbox1 and a dropdownlist. Dropdownlist contains the list of branches and i want that when i select a branch from dropdown i want to get the respective branch code to be generated in a textbox from the Database or from c# coding. How will it be possible ?
Am I missing something, is it more complex that just putting an event handler on the dropdown so that when it's value changes it calls your method that can do whatever it needs to do to generate the string for the textbox?
Skipping passed the "database" portion of your question (and assuming your data isn't bound to the DropDownList)..
One way in ASP.NET, to accomplish this, I believe, is to have your code print DropDownList.SelectedValue's value in the textbox during an event.
Here is a link showing how to bind an event to DropDownList in jQuery
I have a GridView A that have many columns, one of those contains price for each row. so the cue is how or in which way, can I update/refresh the total price that will be showed in a Label or TextBox (not in GridView Footer)?
My working platform is C# 3.0 / ASP.Net
Set up a "total" variable. Use jquery to iterate through each row of your table/gridview and add the particular column value to to the total. (The method would need to know to get the numeric value out of the Td or the text input.
On the onchange event of the textbox, call the method again.
