DataGrid - Edit

[Ido]

I want the user to select from a closed list (when editing a column in a DataGrid) - so a textbox is not good for me.

Is it posiible to use Combox instead ??

 

 

Thanks.

with a TemplateColumn and EditItemTemplate you can place almost any control into a column.

Yes thanks!

 

Now when i click "Edit" i get a dropdownList but it's empty!

I tried eveything (i think). in the property window of the dropdownlist (datagris -> right click->Edit Template ) i assigned the correct datasource. i also try to go by "databinds ..." option of the dropdownList , tehn i choosed:

DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.title") => this is the first time i have something in the dropdownList, but it is the cell value, 1 row for each letter... (later i couldn't find "title" under container, and i don't know why..)

 

i didn't find yet, how to load all the item of a table database (i use access) to a dropdownList.

 

:mad: :confused: :mad:

asp.net datagrid conditional formatting

 

Hi,

 

I want to use a datagrid to display email message headers but how can I display the envelopes to show new or read? The read is returned as an integer.

 

Any Ideas?

Use the following code in the Template Column tag of the data grid

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ddlvalue") %> ' runat="server" ID="Label1"/>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList Runat="server" ID="myDDL" />
</EditItemTemplate>

 

to insert the values in the Data grid in edit mode use the function

private void DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.EditItem)
	{
		DataRowView drv= (DataRowView)(e.Item.DataItem);
		String currentType=drv["ddlvalue"].ToString();
		DropDownList ddl=(DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("myDDL");
		ddl.Items.Add("Item 1");
		ddl.Items.Add("item 2");
		ListItem item=ddl.Items.FindByText("Item 1");
		if(item!= null)
			item.Selected=true;			
	}
}	

 

 

use the following code in the Update command of the Data Grid

 

DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Item.Cells[5].Controls[1];
String value= ddl.SelectedItem.Text;
