Checking which fields changed

Hi

Is it possible to identify individual fields changed by a user during
editing on a form before or immediately after the form is saved?

Thanks

Regards

I assume you mean what data was changed when you save the record? If
so look at the OldValue property of your text boxes etc.

Let's say I have an html form with 20 or 30 fields in it. The form submits the fields via POST to a php page which updates a table in a database with the $_POST vars. Which makes more sense? 1) simply UPDATING the values for all fields in the table, whether or not any particular field has actually changed 2) running a second SELECT statement and comparing the $_POST vars to the returned values, and only UPDATING those that have...

Hello everyone, I have a bond form that a user uses to enter data. One of my fields, is PolicyNumber.

Scott Mitchell published an article (on the 4GuysFromRolla site) on checking whether data has changed on a page before allowing a user to leave the page. I have used his solution and created a class, ClientSidePage, which inherits system.web.ui.page. In my main page (with the fields to be checked) I have used inherits ClientSidePage. When I try to run the main page none of the normal events (like page_load) can be found as if it isn't...

I am inserting data into user table which contains 5 fields, sounds simple enough normally but 2 of the fields are designated as UNIQUE. If someone does enter a value which already exists, how do I capture this specific error? Would it make more sense to actually run a SELECT query first and if that returned a result, then I use that for error checking and don't run insert until select returns nothing? Cheers

I recently developed a compact function to efficiently allow users to change info in a form (like account info, contact info, etc.) and then the function automatically identifies what's changed and scans the database to find out where to change it. Basic concept is form is populated from an object from mysql tables, user changes fields (usually few - not for creating new accounts), $_POST is compared against an array/object with current field...

I've been working on concurrency checking for an application I'm building, and a minor part of it has me slightly stumped. I've got a DetailsView that populates from an ObjectDataSource, using business objects with optimistic concurrency checking built in in my Save() method (against a timestamp column). This can be proven to work perfectly in the following scenario: - Start app, go to the DetailsView page (defaults to readonly), open a...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
