reuse gridview after changing data datasource parameters

Hi - I'm a real newbie to ASP . . so please forgive me. . . and please point
me in the right direction for how to do this "the right way" . . :)

Using Northwind DB as an example, I have a gridview bound to a
sqldatasource, with a SelectQuery = SELECT [ProductName], [QuantityPerUnit],
[UnitPrice], [UnitsInStock] FROM [Alphabetical list of products]

That all works fine. . . but what I want to do next is this: Users clicks on
button "Customers and Suppliers By City", and the code for the button simply
sets SelectCommand = SELECT * FROM [Customer and Suppliers by city]

This obviously bombs when I click on the button, and it states that
"ProductNam e" as not found on the selected data source.

I hate to think of creating a separate gridview and datasource for each
Table I desire to display. . . Is there any way I can "reset" the gridview
so that it pulls the proper schema from the "updated" datasource before
rendering in the display? I've tried databind() for both sqldatasource and
gridview.

Any examples you could point me to would be greatly appreciated.

I have a GridView bound to an ObjectDataSource. I have a Button that calls GridView.DataBind. I want the row that is selected before the DataBind to still be selected afterwards. This happens automatically if the data doesn't change. But if records have been added or deleted then it looks as if some code is necessary: I've done this by using GridView.SelectedValue to get the key value of the currently selected Row and then by itterating...

I have a number of simple select queries that a user needs to be able to execute and display the data on the screen in a gridview. My thought was that I could use a Gridview set to dymanically generate columns and bound to a SQLDataSource. Then the user can click buttons (or whatever) and it changes the SelectCommand property of the SQLDataSource and re-binds the GridView. That worked great until I enabled paging. When paging is...

Hi Everyone, I've been having a problem with the Gridview control. I have posted a few messages relating to the issues, but I have a general question. Does the Dataview control have to be bound to a datasource that also contains the update/delete Sql statements? The resaon I ask is that I've done just about all I can do and can't update the grid. In the RowUpdating event I'm getting no values in the newvalues or oldvalues vars. I do bind a...

Hi all, I have a grid that contains 7 columns from 3 tables (3 unique keys, 4 normal fields). I show this 7 columns on the gridview. I now want to add edit and delete functionality. This should be fairly easy cos it's a build in feature of the gridview but alas... When the user clicks delete only one row on one table needs to be deleted thus I made a new query in my Datatable (DeleteissueQuery) that excpects an id

I've got a gridview (that I converted over from a datagrid, which had been working properly), that is doubling up the number of rows returned. When it was running as a datagrid, the same code sent back the proper number of rows. The only thing different I am doing is to display the number of rows returned in the footer of the gridview. The Bindgrid is as follows: Sub BindGrid() Session("reportlevel") = Session("availabilityrptlevel")

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
