I'm moving from years with the datagrid to a new project, .net 2.0, using
GridView controls. Per past practice, it is often a lot easier to inject
controls (or special formatting) in RowDataBound (formerly ItemDataBound)
than to mess with complicated templates, especially for things that are
consistent across grids or columns. GridView is dumping all the nice stuff
put there during a RowDataBound event.
Ex: those "!" icons in outlook or classification (confidential) markings on
a row-by-row basis. In the datagrid, this worked not just well, but very
well. Once in the grid, it stayed in the grid, including postbacks from other
controls.
Now the GridView simplifies a lot of stuff like sorting, but it also wants
to invoke the DataBinding (and DataBound) event for any postback - a (new
item) button, a calendar, parent-child-linked-down bunch of dropdown lists,
whatever.
The GridView doesn't remember what what was done in RowDataBound - dumps
everything. Is there an easy way to not have it bind when the postback is
caused by a non-GridView control? Or force it to just re-bind everything? The
values of the bound columns are all there after postback - but that's all.
If I have to go to templates I will, but that means I can't re-use stuff in
nice objects/classes/common static methods (which way varies with use), which
is a much cleaner approach in the long run.
If anybody knows a nice shortcut, please speak up.

It sounds like the GridView property EnableViewState is set to false. By
default it is usually set to true. Set this property to true e.g.
myGridView.Enab leViewState = true;
This should keep the data in the GridView on postbacks with out the need to
re-bind to the data source.

Hi group,
my setup:
I have a GridView that extracts data from my table (a SqlDataSource).
For each row, I have an 'edit' button and a 'delete' button.
The 'edit' button opens a popup, through which one can insert and edit
the table.
The 'delete' button deletes the row.

Hi all, I've got a really annoying problem that I need to fix sharpish.
I've got a GridView derived control which has a templated header and
footer. It works wonderfully on the first render but then the
header/footer vanish into thin air. If I add the header/footer
onDataBound then they disappear when I do a postback with no
databinding. If I add them during PreRender, then they persist, but one
of my data rows is emptied for each time I...

Hi, I have a code that sort of works. The event flow is as follows:
In a user control of type "FilterControl" user selects certain values
from 3 related dropdown lists. (two of them have auto postback set to
true as I need to refresh the 2nd and 3rd list. Then clicks on Submit
button which fires a custom event "FilterSubmitted". Yes this a custom
control, as I will be using it in many places.

Hello all.
I am trying to interate thorugh by GridView data to pump each cell of
each row into a stored proc to load to a DB. I seem to be having a
heck of a time getting the Columns.Count to work for my interation and
I am starting to wonder if I am missing something in what that Count
method should return.
The data is loading perfectly into my GridView control.

When I do a sorta on 1 table, then the other table goes back to the original

What can I set so, it keeps the order of the other current gridview's order.
I set all the gridview values in my 'onpageload' in the cs file.

The PagerSettings.Visible property is not being handled properly by the
GridView control.
The value assigned to this property is not applied until after a postback.
Simplest test :
.aspx containing a single gridview - enable paging and give enough data
to page.
add checkbox with auto postback enable
add button with auto postback enable
in the GridView1_PreRender method add the following :

I have a GridView that I put inside an update panel.

In my page render I put this so I could select a row by just clicking it.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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.
