I am using listview to display a list of items and a nested listview to show list of features to each item. Both parent and child listview need to able Insert,Edit and delete operation. It works fine for parent listview. But when I try to edit an child item, The edit button does not take it into Edit mode. Can you please suggest me what I am missing in my code?
<asp:ListView ID="lvParent" runat="server"
OnItemDataBound="lvParent_ItemDataBound"
onitemcanceling="lvParent_ItemCanceling" onitemcommand="lvParent_ItemCommand"
DataKeyNames="ItemID" onitemdeleting="lvParent_ItemDeleting"
oniteminserting="lvParent_ItemInserting" >
<LayoutTemplate>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceholder" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
<div align="right">
<asp:Button ID="btnInsert" runat="server" Text="ADD Item" onclick="btnInsert_Click"/>
</div>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<table runat="server" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<div id="dvDetail">
<span >Description</span>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDescription" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description") %>' TextMode="MultiLine" ></asp:TextBox>
</div>
<div id="dvFeature" >
<span>Feature List</span>
<asp:ListView ID="lvChild" runat="server"

CommandName="Delete"
CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ItemID") %>' />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
Code Behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsPostBack == false)
{
BindData();
}
}
private void BindData()
{
MyDataContext data = new MyDataContext();
var result = from itm in data.ItemLists
where itm.ItemID == iItemID
select new
{
itm.ItemID,
itm.Description,
FeatureList = itm.Features
};
lvParent.DataSource = result;
lvParent.DataBind();
}
protected void lvChild_ItemEditing(object sender, ListViewEditEventArgs e)
{
ListView lvChild = sender as ListView;
lvChild.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
lvChild.DataBind();
}
Edit:
protected void lvChild_ItemEditing(object sender, ListViewEditEventArgs e)
{
ListView lvChild = sender as ListView;
lvChild.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
lvChild.DataBind();
}
If I use "lvChild.DataBind()" in 'ItemEditing' event, the total list of child items goes away if I click 'edit'
protected void lvChild_ItemEditing(object sender, ListViewEditEventArgs e)
{
ListView lvChild = sender as ListView;
lvChild.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
}
if I get rid of 'lvChild.Databind' in ItemEditing event, it goes to Edit mode after clicking the 'edit' button twice . And though it shows textbox control of EditItemTemplate, it appears as a blank textbox (does not bind existing value to edit).
