Search + Sum + GridView + Edit

Hi,

I would like to have your opinion on how how i should do this.
I would like to run a search and show the result on the grid view from my database.
The search have many criteria , means user can search by first name and last name and amount ....
Then i would like the user to be able to be able to edit and delete the records.
And finally i would like to show a row showing the sum of some fields.

Can you please tell me how i should proceed, and which system i don't have to use?

Thanks

Hey,

From the ground up, you are going to need something like the following:

1) Create a connection to your database
2) Create a command object, and set the CommandText property to the query or stored procedure that you want to use
3) Create parameters for each of the "where" clauses that the user can choose from
4) Execute the command
5) Prepare the results, and set the result to the DataSource Property of the GridView
6) Edit the GridView to include a sum of the necessary fields:

Hi,

For the edit and delete button, how should i include that?

thanks

Hey,

Handle the RowDeleting and RowEditing events of the GridView, and do the necessary query on the database to update the underlying table.

Gary

Ok, I have wrote the code "it's a bit big to post" but if required i will, and whenever i turn on the edit mode, and then click on the edit button i get the following error

Code:

---

The GridView 'GridView1' fired event RowEditing which wasn't handled.

---

thanks

Hey,

That error would suggest that you have not implemented the RowEditing event. Have you?

Gary

Hi,

Ok, I added the the rowediting event, but it's empty, what code should i write in it?

thanks

I tried to use the following code under the rowediting event, but nothing it's happening

vb Code:

GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex
        'Bind data to the GridView control.
        GridView1.DataBind()

Hey,

The code necessary to edit the underlying table.

i.e. a query that will take all the changes to the values, and update the database table.

What exactly are you expecting that to do?

You need to take a step back and understand exactly what you are trying to achieve before writing any code!

Gary

I guess what i need now, is to be in the edit mode when the button is clicked. :S

Set the GridView's AutoGenerateEditButton property to true. That should give you a button. Click on it, it goes into Edit Mode.

Hi,
It just redirect be to a blank page.

thanks

ok, here is my code

Does line 177 get hit when you click on the Edit button?

Hi,

Yes it hits

any help please.

OK, so you're saying line 177 is hit and therefore the BindData() method is called. But then it sends you to a blank page? Step through the code in its entirety. At what point in the code does it suddenly give you a blank page?

Hi,

I changed some line of code.... and using this code, i'm able to see the edit mode gridview but i have to click twice the button to go to the edit mode and the edit textboxes are blank.
Still even when it's blank i tried to edit rows value i get the following error

Code:

---

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

---

at this line

vb Code:

dt.Rows(row.DataItemIndex)("client") = (CType((row.Cells(4).Controls(0)), TextBox)).Text

current code

vb Code:

        '  Dim GridView1 As GridView

thanks

Set a breakpoint on #37 and do a quickwatch on row.Cells(4). (Highlight it and press Ctrl+Alt+Q). It's likely that it shows you null. If it doesn't, explore the Controls collection. It's also possible that the textbox is Controls(1) or that the textbox is in a child of Controls(0).

You can also show us your grid markup.

The value is null, if it helps, the gridview is under a login control

vb Code:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"
                      
                        AutoGenerateEditButton="True" onpageindexchanging="GridView1_PageIndexChanging" 
                          onrowcancelingedit="GridView1_RowCancelingEdit" 
                          onrowediting="GridView1_RowEditing" onrowupdating="GridView1_RowUpdating" >
                      </asp:GridView>

i fixed the code at this line, but still get error.

vb Code:

Protected Sub GridView1_RowUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewUpdateEventArgs)
        Dim GridView1 As GridView = TryCast(LoginView1.FindControl("GridView1"), GridView)
 
        Dim dt = GetCustDT()
 
        'Update the values.
        Dim row = GridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex)
        dt.Rows(row.DataItemIndex)("Client") = (CType((row.Cells(3).Controls(0)), TextBox)).Text
 
        GridView1.EditIndex = -1
 
 
    End Sub

The error i get now is

Code:

---

No row at position 0

vb Code:

#

#
        Dim dt As New DataTable
#
        dt.Columns.Add("Id", GetType(String))

Hey,

Is it possible that you can upload a complete project? It is getting to the point that this is getting hard to follow? If not, can you knock up a sample project, based on what you currently have, and upload that?

Gary

here is the project with the SQL script


thx

I think I see the problem here.

When you do your RowUpdating, you're attempting to assign a value to a row in a datatable. However, this datatable is empty. If you look at GetCustDT(), all you're doing is defining the datatable, but no rows. You'd normally create a row by using dt.NewRow() and assigning it a value, but I don't think this is what you want. You want to update the database with your new value.

The original datatable you used is in another method, when you bind the grid. It's out of scope now.

Either make it class-level and fill the datatable up each time you load the page, and then update the row and call dataadapter.update

or

Use a SqlCommand, create your UPDATE statement and call ExecuteNonQuery and then rebind your grid.
