GridView not entering Line Editing mode when inside FormView


Hi All,

I have a GridView inside the EditItemTemplat e of a FormView. Both FormView
and GridView are data bound using an ObjectDataSourc e. When the FormView's
ObjectDataSourc e object has a SelectParameter s with a SessionParamete r in
the parameters collection and the object stored in the Session is a
reference type,
the DataGrid fails to enter Line Editing mode.

Is this a bug? Is there a workaround for this problem?

I have created a minimal sample that demonstrates this problem.
I have 4 files in my sample.
1. Global.asax - initializes a Session state variable.
2. Default.aspx - holds the FormView and the GridView in it.
3. MyDataSource.cs - implements the data source object.
4. MyState.cs - a class to be saved in Session and passed in to the Select
statement using a SessionParamete r.

Here is the code:

Global.asax:
-----
<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
void Session_Start(o bject sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session["MySessionV ar"] = new MyState("MyValu e");
}
</script>
----
End Global.asax

Default.aspx:

Hi Adar,

Regarding on this issue, I have tested the page you provided and did repro
the same behavior as you mentioned. When the outer FormView choose to use
the Session Variable based select statement, the inner nested Gridview can
not turn into Edit mode. Currently, I'll do some further research on this
and will update you if I have any new progress.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the update.

The solution for this issue is not urgent for me. The behavior is not what I
expected, but I do have a workaround. I removed the SessionParamete r from
the ObjectDataSourc e parameter collection and from the method being invoked
and when I need to use the Session variable to get my data, I just access the
Session variable using HttpContext.Cur rent.Session.

This is less clean, but it works ...

Thanks again.

Hi Adar,

I just got some update from the product team engineer about the reported
bug of this issue. Here is some comments and a possible workaround from
them:

=============== =============== ===========
Looks like it¡¯s an issue with the order that events fire. The problem is
that when the FormView is being databound, the GridView is re-loaded.
You¡¯ll have to set the EditIndex after the controls are bound. Here¡¯s
the order of events:

FormView Init
GridView Init
FormView ItemCreated
FormView Load
GridView Load
GridView OnRowEditing ? EditIndex set here
FormView DataBinding
GridView Unload ?All your settings lost here
GridView Init
GridView Load
FormView ItemCreated
GridView OnDataBinding
Etc.

So even if you handle the OnRowEditing event on the GridView and force the
EditIndex property, when the FormView is databound, the GridView is
unloaded and you lose your changes.

I came up with a workaround that may work for your customer. See the
updated default.aspx page below. It stores the EditIndex in a private
variable and then sets the datagrid during the page Render.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>Untitl ed Page</title>
<script language="c#" runat="server">
private int _editIndex;

protected void GridView1_OnRow Editing(object sender,
GridViewEditEve ntArgs e)
{
_editIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
}

protected override void Render(HtmlText Writer writer)
{
if(Page.IsPostB ack)
((GridView)Form View1.FindContr ol("GridView1") ).EditIndex =
_editIndex;
base.Render(wri ter);

}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server"
DataSourceID="F ormViewODS" DefaultMode="Ed it">
<EditItemTempla te>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1"
OnRowEditing="G ridView1_OnRowE diting" runat="server"
DataSourceID="G ridViewODS" AutoGenerateEdi tButton="true" >
</asp:GridView>
<asp:ObjectData Source ID="GridViewODS " runat="server"
TypeName="MyDat aSource"
SelectMethod="G ridViewSelect"
UpdateMethod="G ridRowUpdate">
</asp:ObjectDataS ource>
</EditItemTemplat e>
</asp:FormView>

<asp:ObjectData Source ID="FormViewODS " runat="server"
TypeName="MyDat aSource"
SelectMethod="F ormViewSelectWi thSession"
EnableViewState ="false">
<SelectParamete rs>
<asp:SessionPar ameter Name="value"
SessionField="M ySessionVar" Type="Object" />
</SelectParameter s>
</asp:ObjectDataS ource>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
=============== =============== ===

Hope this helps.
