Set Values on child controls on a formview

PW
I wish to get and set values on child controls on a formview.

For example. Changing the text in textbox. Hiding or unhiding child
controls based on user. Replacing a blank with a default or calculated value
that will need to be generated at runtime.

It seems as though this should be thoroughly documented, but I'm not finding
much.

I suggest that you used template items in your FormView, then rename the
controls in your FormView.
In your Code behind, use FindControl Method of your FromView to get your
specific controls that you have renamed, and then do your work.

Thanks Muhammad,

I'm already doing that and finding that it's not adequate.

For example using findcontrol doesn't seem to work with the .visible setting.

I can't seem to find any good info on how to change a textbox for example.

I want to be able to set the enabled status of certain controls on the edititem template of a formview control based on whether a check box is checked or not (or the value coming from the database as stored by the sqldatasource) .

How can you tell which FormView controls have different values from their initial values when the page was loaded? If the user clicked the submit button on the EditItemTemplate and no controls have truly changed values, then we don't have to update the database. -- Thank you kindly, Dan Sikorsky BA, BSCE, MCS

Hi all, I'm having an issue that's driving me crazy. I have a datatable that I need to display all the information for on a page. So, instead of manually coding every single column to a label, I decided it would be easier and safer to use a formview to display it all, bound to an objectdatasource. Sounds simple enough. The problem is that many of my fields could potentially have null values, which produces an error similar to the...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
