Conditional GridView Databinding (asp.net)

5 New Member
Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out how to conditionally bind a GridView to an sqldatasource depending on the user's input to a TextBox and selecting the field to search by, in a DropDownList control.

Basically I have a textbox where the user inputs a keyword. Then the user selects from a dropdownlist "pid" or "name" to search. Then the user clicks on a button to fill the gridview.

So, if the user selects "pid", the sql statement that would be used would be:
SELECT * FROM [Product] WHERE [pid]=@pid

or if selected "name":
SELECT * FROM [Product] WHERE [name]=@name

and then the parameter would simply be taken from the textbox.

Any suggestions? thanks

Hello, Does anyone have an idea on how I can filter the data in the gridview control that was returned by an sql query? I have a gridview that works fine when I populate it with data. Now I want to look at that data and filter it based on what is in it. I know that this could have been done with data sets and data views in asp.net 1.1 but how is this done now in asp.net 2.0?

I have an application that updates a strongly typed data set at run time. I'd like to dynamically create a table that connects to a run time data table. For displaying the data, this works well. I just set the GridView.DataSource once, and call DataBind(); I'd like to drive the application from the GridView control, by including command buttons that allow editing of the data. Starting out simple, I have a DataTable with a boolean...

Hi I'm trying to get an instance of UserLists to persist after it's been used by the GridView. I understand from the documentation that The OnObjectCreated event allows access to the instance. I have a TotalUsers property which is initiated when the GetUsers method is called, however it is empty after the OnObjectCreated event runs. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get the Row count from the GetUsers method (It is a DataTable)?...

Hi I have a very simple configuration of the GridView with paging and sorting. When I do a postback the DataBinding event fires twice - in both the ProcessPostData and PreRender stages of the page life cycle. In this example the event fires twice when a) GridView EnableViewState=False and any image type control in the <columns/> element. When either EnableViewState is set to true or the image button is removed, the event fires once....

Hi - This could be a simple question. When I relate two tables in a datasetet, how do I get that relation to show up in a GridView? The only way I've done it, is to create a separate table in the dataset with a join query for the GetData() select method. I use ObjectDataStore to couple the GridView with the table adapter on the dataset. If I point the ODS at the child table, the GridView will bind to the "normal" select and I end up...

Hi, I have a form with textboxes, a search button and a gridview. The textboxes are filled with default values so that the gridview should return all rows but not before the user has had the chance to change some of the textboxes and has clicked the search button. How can I avoid the gridview displaying all rows before the search button was clicked? Any Ideas? Thanks Diane

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