Hi there
First of all excuse me posting such simple (I guess) question, but I
didn't find the answer in tutorials.
I have a formView presenting records from some table. one of the fields
is a Category ID, which is a foreign key. in edit template I replace it
with dropdownlist, which is gets this ID, and displays corresponding
name, by getting information from other datasource.
it's possible, since we have 3 properties in ddlist:
( DataSourceID="o dsCourseCategor ies" )
DataTextField=" Name"
DataValueField= "CourseCategory ID"
SelectedValue=' <%# Bind("CourseCat egoryID") %>'
DataTextField, and DataValueField which are connected to 'foreign'
dataSource, and SelectedValue which is bound to current dataSource
(inherited from parent FormView).
Now, my problem is simple - how can I achieve the same with simple
label control, on the same field, in ItemTemplate (when I'm not
editing), which doesn't (I guess) have those properties?
Label is bound to Category ID, and I want it to display corresponding
Name.
I know that I could tweak my formview datasource (tableAdapter) to
provide Name also, but I'd like to do it using 2 plain single-table
CRUD datasources.
thanks a lot

Hi,
You can't use a label inside a DataList or gridview like this. If you want
to save CategoryID you can use DataKeyNames and CategoryID is not listed
when you use your grid, but your label shows your Name field properly.
Have a nice work,

Thanks, so there's no declarative way (ie. through control's
properties) to achieve this, but if so, what is the simplest way to
achieve this programmaticall y?
I guess I should use the ItemDataBound event, and there, using the
CATEGORY ID value (which is foreign key) bound to label, query the
other objectDataSourc e (representing CATEGORIES table) to check
corresponding NAME value, and substitute with it the current label
value.
the only problem is I don't know how could I perform programmatic query
on object data source, let say something like:
name = categoriesObjec tDataSource.Sel ect("Select Name from Categories
where id=currentID");
I can find only examples with binding ODS to controls, couldn't find
any using it to get some values programmaticaly .
thanks a lot

I can get the updated object if I set UpdateMethod, let ASP.NET autogenerate

How can I get the updated object when the user presses one of my other

I'm trying to block out some text by setting Label width attribute which
renders as a span tag so that all labels for textfields take up the same
