  • LinkButtons Created Dynamically in a Repeater Don't Fire ItemCommand Event

    - by 5arx
    Hi. I've got a repeater that's used to display the output of a dynamic report that takes criteria from webcontrols on the page. Within the repeater's ItemDataBound method I'm adding controls (Linkbuttons for sorting by column values) dynamically to the header of the repeater based on values selected in a checkbox list and at this point setting the CommandArgument and CommandName properties of the linkbuttons. The issue is that when the linkbuttons are clicked they don't fire the ItemCommand event although they are clearly being correctly created and added to the header (there is some additional code to set the cssClass, text etc. and this works as expected.) The first column header in the repeater is set in the markup and the itemcommand event fires correctly on this one only. When the other column headers are clicked the repeater rebinds as programmed, but the columns are not dynamically re-generated. I would really appreciate somebody explaining what I'm doing wrong - afaik I'm following the approved way of doing this :-( Simplified code follows: Nightmare.ascx <asp:repeater runat="server" id="rptReport" OnItemDataBound="rptResults_ItemDataBound" OnItemCommand="rptResults_ItemCommand" EnableViewState="true"> <headertemplate> <table> <tr runat="Server" id="TRDynamicHeader"> <th> <!-- This one works --> <asp:Linkbutton runat="server" CommandName="sort" commandArgument='<%# Eval("Name")%?' /> </th> <!-- additional header cells get added dynamically here --> </tr> </headertemplate> <itemTemplate> <td><%# Eval("Name")</td> ... </itemTemplate> </asp:repeater> Nightmare.ascx.cs protected void PageLoad(object sender, eventArgs e){ if (! isPostback){ setupGui();//just binds dropdowns etc. to datasources } } protected void btnRunReport_Click(...){ List<ReportLines> lstRep = GetReportLines(); rptReport.DataSource = lstRep; repReport.DataBind(); } protected void rptReport_ItemDataBound (...){ if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Header) { foreach (ListItem li in chbxListBusFuncs.Items) { if (li.Selected) { th = new HtmlTableCell(); lb = new LinkButton(); lb.CssClass = "SortColHeader"; lb.CommandArgument = li.Text.Replace(" ", ""); lb.CommandName = "sort"; lb.Text = li.Text; th.Controls.Add(lb); ((HtmlTableRow)e.Item.FindControl("TRDynamicHeader")).Cells.Add(th); } } } if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) { //Row level customisations, totals calculations etc. } } <!-- this only gets called when the 'hardcoded' linkbutton in the markup is clicked. protected void rptReport_ItemCommand(object sender, Eventargs e){ lblDebug.Text = string.Format("Well? What's Happening? -> {0}:{1}", e.CommandName, e.CommandArgument.ToString()); } (The only thing that can call the runreport routine is a single button on the page, not shown in the code snippet above.)

  • Datalist itemcommand design?

    - by Surya sasidhar
    hi, in my application i am using datalist to display the images, i put properties of repeatcolumn=4 and reapeatdirection=horizontal. It is displaying good when there r more than or 4 images if there r only one or two or three images the gap between images r too long. if i have only one image the image displayed in datalist in the middle of the datalist. how can i solve this problem. i think you people understand my problem this is my datalist source code... datalist width="100%" <ItemTemplate > <table width="100%" > <tr> <td > <asp:ImageButton ID="imgeFrien" runat ="Server" Width="110px" Height ="100px" CommandName ="Image" CommandArgument ='<%# Eval("userid") %>' ImageUrl ='<%# "~/Userimages/"+ Eval("myimage") %>' /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td > <asp:Label ID="lblFrieNam" runat ="Server" Font-Names ="verdana" Text ='<%# Eval("username") %>'></asp:Label> </td> </tr> </table> </ItemTemplate> </asp:DataList>

  • MasterPage Page_Load hits before Grid_ItemCommand

    - by Raheel Khan
    I am using the session object to store success/error messages based on user actions. On each postback, the message is set on ItemCommend and retrieved on the Page_Load of the master page. Once retrieved, the message is deleted from the session. The problem is that the master page's Page_Load gets called before the ItemCommand gets called so the message does not show up until the next refresh or postback. How is this situation normally handled? Is there some other event we can code against?

  • Button inside a repeater with dropdownlist

    - by TheAlbear
    I have a repeater with a literal, a dropdown list, and a button. <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="rep_ItemDataBound" onitemcommand="Repeater1_ItemCommand"> <ItemTemplate> <div class="buypanel"> <ul> <li>Choose finish <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlFinish" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList></li> <li>Qty <asp:Literal ID="ltQty" runat="server"></asp:Literal></li> <li><asp:Button ID="butBuy" runat="server" Text="Button" /></li> </ul> </div> </ItemTemplate> </asp:Repeater> I am binding all the information in the code behind like protected void rep_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) { Products product = (Products) e.Item.DataItem; //Dropdownlist to be bound. //Set Buy Button var butBuy = (Button) e.Item.FindControl("butBuy"); butBuy.CommandName = "Buy"; butBuy.CommandArgument = product.Id.ToString(); } } and i have my itemcommand to pick up on the button click protected void Repeater1_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e) { if(e.CommandName == "Buy") { } } I am not sure how, with a given button click, to pickup the right information from the text box and dropdown list which is along side it?

  • How to keep a trace of a record inside a nested repeater?

    - by Amokrane
    Hi, I have the following implementation: As you can see I have a repeater (listing the Machines) and a nested repeater (listing the WindowsServices inside each Machine). For each Windows Service I can perform an action using a button. However, to perform this action I need to know which Machine and which WindowsService are concerned. This is my code: protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e) { rptMachine.ItemDataBound += new RepeaterItemEventHandler(rptMachine_ItemDataBound); } protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // bind the Machine repeater rptMachine.DataSource = _monitoringService.Machines; rptMachine.DataBind(); } protected void rptMachine_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) { Repeater nestedRepeater = (Repeater) e.Item.FindControl("rptWindowsService"); nestedRepeater.DataSource = ((IMachine) e.Item.DataItem).WindowsServices; nestedRepeater.DataBind(); Button btnActionInner = null; // bind the action button situated inside the nested repeater foreach(RepeaterItem ri in nestedRepeater.Items) { if((Button)ri.FindControl("btnAction") != null) { btnActionInner = (Button) ri.FindControl("btnAction"); btnActionInner.CommandName = "ActionState"; btnActionInner.CommandArgument = strWindowsService; } } } } protected void rptWindowsService_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e) { // do the specific action stop/run for the windows service if (e.CommandName == "ActionState") { if(((Button)(e.CommandSource)).Text.Equals("Stop")) { } else if(((Button)(e.CommandSource)).Text.Equals("Run")) { } } } } } So basically I need to know (inside rptWindowsService_ItemCommand) what is the pair that is concerned by the operation. What's the best way to do that? Don't hesitate to ask for more clarifications! Thanks

  • (ASP.NET) Problem with a repeater nested in a repeater, how to know when it is a itemCommand?

    - by NoProblemBabe
    I have the following problem: Keeping in mind the following structure: <repeater> <updatepanel> <div> <link id="fatherLink" /> </div> <div> <repeater> <link id="childLink"/> </repeater> <div> </updatepanel> </repeater> right? I am using updatepanel, so, when i click in the fatherlink, i put a click method in the server side, so it populates it's child repeater. no problems in there, but I need that the childLink to perform a action on the server side, like take in account some data and then sending to a given page to do something else. When doing this I happen to notice that there are three situations: 1 - First server call, is not a postback it populates the father repeater (no problems here). 2 - Second server call, when the father link is clicked i populate the child repeater. Something like a "fatherLink_Click" function (no problems here). 3 - Third server call, when the child is clicked: i can't seem to know that it is the child's item command, so i can't stop it from databinding all over again, which kills my itemcommand event... (the problem). What can I do?

  • ListView not firing OnItemCommand after preventing postback

    - by nevizi
    Hi there, I have a ListView inside a FormView that, for some strange reason, doesn't fire neither the ItemInsert nor the ItemCommand event. I'm populating the ListView with a generic list. I bind the list to the ListView on the OnPreRenderComplete. <asp:ListView runat="server" ID="lvReferences" DataKeyNames="idReference" OnItemInserting="ContractReferences_Inserting" OnItemDeleting="ContractReferences_Deleting" InsertItemPosition="LastItem" OnItemCommand="ContractReferences_Command" OnItemCreated="ContractReferences_ItemDataBound"> <LayoutTemplate> <ul> <asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceholder" runat="server" /> </ul> </LayoutTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <li class="obsItem"> <a href="#"><asp:TextBox ID="valRef" runat="server" Width="5px" Enabled="false" Text='<%#Bind("idProcessRecordRef") %>' /></a> <asp:TextBox id="txtRef" runat="server" Text='<%#Bind("description") %>' /> <asp:ImageButton ID="btDelete" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" ImageUrl="~/_layouts/web.commons/Images/eliminar.png" /> </li> </ItemTemplate> <InsertItemTemplate> <li class="obsItem"> <a href="#"><asp:TextBox ID="valRef" runat="server" Width="5px" Enabled="false" /></a> <asp:TextBox id="txtRef" runat="server" /> <asp:ImageButton ID="btDetail" CausesValidation="false" OnClientClick="javascript:openPopup();return false;" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/_layouts/web.commons/Images/novo.png" /> <asp:ImageButton ID="btSaveDs" runat="server" CommmandName="Insert" CausesValidation="false" ImageUrl="~/_layouts/web.commons/Images/gravarObs.png" /> </li> </InsertItemTemplate> </asp:ListView> My ItemDataBound method is: protected void ContractReferences_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e) { if (!IsPostBack) { TextBox valRef = e.Item.FindControl("valRef") as TextBox; TextBox txtRef = e.Item.FindControl("txtRef") as TextBox; ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "popup", "function openPopup(){ window.open('ContractPicker.aspx?c1=" + valRef.ClientID + "&c2=" + txtRef.ClientID + "');}", true); } } So, basically, in the InsertItemTemplate I put a button that opens a LOV and populates my valRef and txtRef fields. I had to put a "return false" in order for the parent page to not postback (and I think the problem lies here...). Then, when I click in the ImageButton with the CommandName="Insert", instead of firing the ItemCommand event, it enters once again in the ItemDataBound handler. So, any ideas? Thanks!

  • Enableeventvalidation in web user control

    - by Khushi
    Hi, i have a web user control containing a repeater. The repeater contains three buttons. On button click it gives the following error : Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" % in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation. Since user control does not have page directive, so i changed the enableEventValidation to false, but it restricted the itemcommand event of the repeater. Can someone guide me, how to solve this problem?

  • Dynamically created LinkButton not firing any events

    - by Brent
    I'm customising the Group Headers on a Telerik RadGrid by injecting a LinkButton into it during the ItemDataBound event. The button renders perfectly, but I can't get it to hit any event handlers. Here is the code for the button creation: Private Sub rgWorkRequestItemCosts_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles rgWorkRequestItemCosts.ItemDataBound If TypeOf e.Item Is GridGroupHeaderItem Then Dim oItem As GridGroupHeaderItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridGroupHeaderItem) Dim lnkAdd As New LinkButton() lnkAdd.ID = "lnkAdd" lnkAdd.CommandName = "CustomAddWorkRequestItemCost" lnkAdd.CommandArgument = DirectCast(oItem.DataItem, DataRowView).Row("nWorkRequestItemID").ToString() lnkAdd.Text = String.Format("<img style=""border:0px"" alt="""" width=""12"" src=""{0}"" /> Add new cost", ResolveUrl(String.Format("~/App_Themes/{0}/Grid/AddRecord.gif", Page.Theme))) lnkAdd.Style("color") = "#000000" lnkAdd.Style("text-decoration") = "none" AddHandler lnkAdd.Click, AddressOf lnkAdd_Click Dim tcPlaceholder As GridTableCell = DirectCast(oItem.Controls(1), GridTableCell) Dim litText As New LiteralControl(String.Format("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{0}", tcPlaceholder.Text)) tcPlaceholder.Text = String.Empty tcPlaceholder.Controls.Add(lnkAdd) tcPlaceholder.Controls.Add(litText) End If End Sub This code explicitly adds a handler for the LinkButton, but that handler is never hit. I've also tried events on the RadGrid (ItemCommand, ItemEvent) but none seem to get hit. Has anyone got any suggestions of other events to try, or ways to make this work? Thanks!

  • asp.net custom templated datalist - throws argument out of range (index) on button press

    - by MrTortoise
    I have a class BaseTemplate public abstract class BaseTemplate : ITemplate This adds the controls, and provides abstract methods to implement in the inheriting class. The inheriting class then adds its html according to its data source and manages the data binding. this all works fine - I get the control appearing with properly parsed html. the problem is that the base class adds controls into the template that have their own CommandName arguments ... the idea is that the class that implements the custom templated dataList will provide the logic of setting the Selected and Edit Indexes. This class also manages the data binding etc. It sets all of the templates ont he datalist in the Init method (which was another cause of this exception). the exception gets throw when i hit one of these buttons .. but after the ItemCommand event is being processed.

  • Inputs inside ListView doesn't change values from old to recently set on ItemUpdating event

    - by Tema
    Hi, I would appreciate if someone help me to understand this situation. I do not know why but when i edit selected ListView item (containing few TextBoxes) and then press Update button in the ItemUpdating event i always get old values instead of those which were typed recently. Why? I do not use Page_Load event so i do not need check on PostBack I try to get value before i bind data from DB to ListView, so it can't override recently typed values I tried to get TextBoxes values in different Event handlers - ItemCommand, ItemUpdating, ItemDataBound - result si always the same Collection NewValues and OldValues are always empty (i think this is because i don't use SqlDataSource control) The only one way i can get new values - is to check Request, but in this case i can't use control validators ... so probably it is bad idea to work with only request. This is the code of ItemUpdating method: ListViewItem editItem = AdminUsersListView.EditItem; Guid userId = new Guid((editItem.FindControl("UserId") as HiddenField).Value); Hashtable dataUpdate = new Hashtable { { "UserName", Request[ (editItem.FindControl("UserNameNew") as TextBox).UniqueID ] }, { "Email", Request[ (editItem.FindControl("Email") as TextBox).UniqueID ] }, { "IsApproved", Request[ (editItem.FindControl("IsApproved") as CheckBox).UniqueID ] == "on" }, { "IsLockedOut", Request[ (editItem.FindControl("IsLockedOut") as CheckBox).UniqueID ] == "on" } }; var x1 = dataUpdate["UserName"]; // this is corrent new value from Request var x2 = (editItem.FindControl("UserNameNew") as TextBox).Text; // this is WRONG! OLD! value from TextBox ... Why??? using (Entities entities = new Entities()) { aspnet_Membership membershipItem = entities.aspnet_Membership.Where(MBS => MBS.UserId == userId).FirstOrDefault(); membershipItem.Email = dataUpdate["Email"].ToString(); membershipItem.LoweredEmail = membershipItem.Email.ToLower(); membershipItem.IsApproved = Convert.ToBoolean(dataUpdate["IsApproved"]); membershipItem.IsLockedOut = Convert.ToBoolean(dataUpdate["IsLockedOut"]); entities.SaveChanges(); aspnet_Users userItem = entities.aspnet_Users.Where(USR => USR.UserId == userId).FirstOrDefault(); userItem.UserName = dataUpdate["UserName"].ToString(); userItem.LoweredUserName = userItem.UserName.ToLower(); entities.SaveChanges(); } AdminUsersListView.EditIndex = -1; AdminUsersListView.DataSource = _getDataList(); AdminUsersListView.DataBind(); Thanks, Art

The exception gets thrown when I hit one of these buttons - I have tried hooking up both their click and command events everywhere in case this was the problem. I have also ensured that their command names do not match any of the system ones. The stack trace does not include any references to my methods or objects which is why I am so stuck. It is the most unhelpful message I can imagine. The really frustrating thing is that I cannot get a breakpoint to fire - i.e. the problem is happening after I click the button, but before and of my code can execute. The last time this exception happened was when I had this code in a user control and was assigning the templates to the datalist in the PageLoad. I moved these into init to fix that problem; however, this is a problem that was there then and I have no idea what is causing it let alone how to solve it (and index out of range doesn't really help without knowing what index.)

Thanks if anyone manages to spot my silliness. The BONominalGroup class (please ignore my crazy getHash override, I'm not proud of it). IAudit can just be an empty interface here and all will be fine. It used to inherit from another class, I have cleaned that out - so the serialization logic may be broken here. public class BONominalGroup { public BONominalGroup() #region Fields and properties private Int16 _ID; public Int16 ID { get { return _ID; } set { _ID = value; } } private string _group; public string Group { get { return _group; } set { _group = value; } } private bool _isPositve; public bool IsPositive { get { return _isPositve; } set { _isPositve = value; } } #endregion public override bool Equals(object obj) { bool retVal = false; BONominalGroup ng = obj as BONominalGroup; if (ng!=null) if (ng._group == this._group && ng._ID == this.ID && ng.IsPositive == this.IsPositive) { retVal = true; } return retVal; } public override int GetHashCode() { return ToString().GetHashCode(); } public override string ToString() { return "BONominalGroup{ID:" + this.ID.ToString() + ",Group:" + this.Group.ToString() + ",IsPositive:" + this.IsPositive.ToString() + "," + "}"; } #region IXmlSerializable Members public override void ReadXml(XmlReader reader) { reader.ReadStartElement("BONominalGroup"); this.ID = Convert.ToByte(reader.ReadElementString("id")); this.Group = reader.ReadElementString("group"); this.IsPositive = Convert.ToBoolean(reader.ReadElementString("isPositive")); base.ReadXml(reader); reader.ReadEndElement(); } public override void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer) { writer.WriteElementString("id", this.ID.ToString()); writer.WriteElementString("group", this.Group); writer.WriteElementString("isPositive", this.IsPositive.ToString()); // writer.WriteStartElement("BOBase"); // base.WriteXml(writer); writer.WriteEndElement(); } #endregion }
