C# - Dynamically Populating Column Headers In A Gridview?
Mar 6, 2012
I have a vb.net website with a gridview that currently has exam questions displaying vertically in each row like this:
Name question answer
-----------------------
Joe question1 answer1
Joe question2 answer2
[code]....
But I would like to change it, so that each question is a header, like this:
Name question1 question2 question3
----------------------------------
Joe answer1 answer2 answer3
Jill answer1 answer2 answer3
This makes it more readable since each user is only listed once.I would like to stick with a gridview instead of rewriting all my code.I am actually binding my data to the gridview via some other programmers class. I am using LINQ like this:
I have created a Stored Procedure in SQL which produces a pivot table. I've successfully created a GridView in ASP.NET to display this data.
However, some of my column headings are dynamically generated from the data (AutoGenerateColumns=True), and those column headings are just dates, so they will look different almost every time the table is generated.
This all works fine, except that the date format of the column headings is wrong. I know I could change the way SQL produces the dates in its output, but I don't want to do it that way. I want to control it from the web page.
I didn't think this would be difficult - I thought I could just do something along the lines of finding the cells in the header row and changing the datastringformat. The problem is that whether I put my code in the GridView's DataBound or RowDataBound event, the cells in the header row seem to be empty, so I can't reformat them. It's as if the headers get populate some time AFTER the DataBound event, but I don't know when or how to trap it.
I have a GRIDVIEW with columns, one of which contains a CSV of possible values for the dropdown that must appear on each row.
Private Sub GridViewParameters_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridViewParameters.RowDataBound If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then[code].....
Depending on whether the type of control is a dropdown, textbox, or check box (feined in the table) it hides or shows the relevant control type. If it is a dropdown it needs to get its values from a CSV in a corresponding column. I have a SP that returns a these in table form if passed the id of the relevant row.How do I get that is from the gridview to pass to the drop down and load it correctly?
I am working on a weboage that will display questions and answers (maybe 5 at one time, maybe 7 at another time) returned from a database table. The questions will each be displayed in a div and the related answers displayed in another div. The question will have an icon "Show Answer / Hide Answer"
How can I go about creating a div and then populating it with values from a table?
I am populating a datagridview with data from a table and some unbound columns This is a large table and I want the form to fill the screen and the datagridview to fill the top half of the form. To do this, I have put a panel on the top and a panel at the bottom.I have anchored the dgv to the top left and docked it to the toplumnHeaderHeightSize is AutoSizehe issue is that the ColumnHeaders are not visible unless I click on the restore down button on the top right part of the screen
I have a csv file that is being sent to me in this format[code]...
This is the only way this file can be exported from the system that is sending the information.
The second item is the Header and of course the 3rd would be the value that needs to be inserted into the row. How do I import a file like this. It is going to be sent to me every 5 minutes so I have to be able to extract the data shortly after the file arrives and insert it into Sql server.
What I'm trying to do is parse a CSV file that has column headers, and map those headers - ideally to a class.The tricky part is that I need to be able to support various mappings because it will be interacting with different systems that give the headers different names. Additionally, being able to combine fields would be extremely helpful.
Fortunately, the CSV will always be correctly formatted with all fields encapsulated in double quotes.
Having an issue with a Datagridview that I am trying to create. What I need is for not only column headers but row headers. If you are not sure what I mean, take a look at this image;
[Code]...
Notice how the screen shot has a column and row headers? Now I do not need the "view selector". To make matters worse I need to have two row headers. Kind of like this;
Before any jumps in and says, Why dont you just use a gridview, i have my reasons not to use it.I trying to dynamically create a table and then populate the cells via a linq object.
Good news, i can dynamically create the table and the cells. Dim numrows As Integer = MyActions.Count() Dim numcells As Integer = 5
PROBLEM OVERVEIW: everything "runs", it never crashes, it populates the checkboxlist on the page, it even calls BindCheckBoxList during the databind but it never checks the boxes.
I have debugged and stepped through the stop points comments are below.
FRONT END CODE: <asp:CheckBoxList ID="CheckBoxList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="AccessDataSource2" DataTextField="Abbreviation" DataValueField="Abbreviation" OnDataBinding="BindCheckBoxList" OnSelectedIndexChanged="BindCheckBoxList">
I have a large form of 16 rows, and 5 columns of comboboxes. Three rows will be filled with the same information as a list of about 20 items. Two rows contain the same information of only 5 items.
[code]Whenever my GridView populates, if there is no value to return from my _dataSet for a field, my GridView stops populating after that. Shouldn't it skip that and continue populating the rest of the grid? It seems the GridView won't accept an empty/null value. is?
Using Visual Basics Express 2008, I am trying to add items to a combo box FROM column headers in a datagrid in a separate form. I have written the code to create the datagrid from an external file but can not get the headers of that datagrid to populate the combo box in a separate form.
Here is my working code for Form1 (frmMain):
Private Sub cmdConvertTxt_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdPart.Click Dim dt As New DataTable
I need to create a checkedlistbox that has multiple columns and each column has a header. Is this possible? I can't really find much on Google. Here's the headers I need:
Checkbox Title Existing path Destination path
I have created these columns to the checkedlistbox I have in my form, but when it is run the headers don't show up. Also the items I'm adding don't seem to abiding to the column widths I put in. Also with the code I'm providing below the items don't display as multiple rows, meaning each item doesn't get displayed on a new row, but in a new column.
vb For i = 0 To iMovies Movie = New MovieItem() Movie.tmdbid = CInt(StrBetween(moviestag, "<tmdbid>", "</tmdbid>"))
DataGridView inserting an extra row every time I populate with data. The row appears even if I only fill the column headers. This is causing problems when I try to get values of each cell. Is there a way to avoid this perhaps in properties?
I am using this code i found from links on this site to export data grid information to excel. it works great! I am trying to figure out how to first write the column headers to excel and then the data in the columns.
Private Sub exportExcel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles exportExcel.Click Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
Background: Users fill out a form that has 14 fields (radio buttons, checkboxes, textboxes, or listsboxes) in it. I have these fields populate into array list for each field. When the Write and Exit button are clicked the information in the arrary lists are combined and written to the text file that was appended when the form loaded.[code]...
I am using VB.net 2008 express edition. I have figured out how to use some of the code snippets for the open xml sdk to create a drop down list of all the sheets in an excel file. I can also use the code snippet to get the value of an individual column header. What I want is a drop down list of all column headers. I could create an array containing the alphabet and loop through each column based on the alphabet letter in the array. I would then just exit the loop on the first column with no value returned for column header...but there must be an easy way to return all headers in one query of the xml.
I am trying to create a basic quoting tool but got stuck on how to clear and change the item collection from within a combobox for a datagrid.What we have is a list of 4 columns like a. Device b.TypeofService c.State d.Price Inside a sql database. Data is also structure like above as well.
I have a datagridview where the user will populate a,b,c and the price will be display and a total at the end. However a,b, and c aren't related in my current application. The combobox will show all possible dinstinct values for each column.
This works fine but I want to refine the application to only show the values of b. which are in the database after the user select the value for a. I have tried searching on how to do this as I assume to the Contry/State/City situation but could not find anything for a datagridview control in VB.NET.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? If I cannot do this dynamically from within a datagridview I was thinking of maybe creating three combo box outside and having it populating the datagridview afterwards but it wouldn't be as nice.
I have a page that has two dropdownlists(one for the locations, and the other for departments), an employee search textbox and a button. On the other page, I have a gridview. Now, what i want to archieve is that when a user types an employee's name in the textbox control, selects a location from the location dropdownlist, and a department from the departments dropdownlist, and click the button(search), the gridview on the other page must show the reqiured information of a SINGLE employee. Only one row must show.
I have created a database for the employees. I know how to do this with the autopostback but i have not tried it using a button's click. NB: the gridview should show only one row of a selected employee. I'm using ASP.NET VB
I have the following code in my asp page: Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports System.Data Partial Class _Default Inherits System.Web.UI.Page [Code] .....
And while the page doesn't throw me any errors, I'm also not seeing any data in my datatable.
I am trying to change the forecolor and backcolor of the column headers in a ListView and I have been able to change the background color; however, now the text has disappeared (the text that shows up in the column headers). How do I go about specifying Color.Argb(193, 218, 248) as the text color? Please advise as I have searched all night online and have not been successful as of yet.
