GridView and Dynamic Templates - Emergency!

I am adding templates to a gridview dynamically. these columns are based on
data values that are generated prior to calling the gridviews databind.

the challenge is when the form does a postback. i need to recreate these
templates. until now, i've been storing the data needed to create the
dynamic columns in a session variable. i was hoping to use the viewstate,
but the viewstate isn't loaded until page_load. the gridview's templates
are recreated in page_init (as far as i can tell).

is there a way to delay the gridview's template creation until after the
viewstate is loaded? i'm having some serious issues with using session
variables in this way.

another question. is there a way to identity the template columns that are
defined in the ASCX page? does the gridview load these during page_init as
well?

thanks a lot in advance.

Cracow, 20.10.2004 Hello, As far as I understand, the generic programming basically consists in using templates for achieving a static polymorphism of the various code fragments, and their reuse for various template parameters. I wonder if there exist techniques for achieving a dynamic polymorphism using the generic programming. Is this possible? If yes, can anyone show me simple examples in C++

I'm reposting this. I'm kinda in a bind untill i get this figured out, so if anyone has some input it would sure help me out. Ok, I’ve noticed a few gridview problems floating around the forum.

There is also a consensus that the best way to do this is a template...

Hi Everybody, I'm really hoping that someone can help me out because I have spent too much time on this project already! Basically, I have a DetailsView that handles all the Edits for a GridView - each row has an edit button and clicking on this should trigger that record to be loaded into the DetailsView for editing. The problem is that the record never gets loaded into the DetailsView. Instead, the DetailsView always and only...

All, I would be very grateful for any help on this question. I have an application in asp.net 2.0 where I dynamically create a datatable and then bind that to a gridview. Unfortunately, the date column always shows the date and time while I just want the short date. I have tried applying a format string {0:d} but to no avail. I saw a lot of posts regarding the htmlencode property but I do not know how to turn that off for a...

In a traditional gridview control the items inserted(bind) into the control are rows and the data is in columns. I have a customer who wants the data fields as rows and the columns as the items being inserted(bind). I have never seen a gridview control displayed in this fashion but would like to use a control to accomplish this, so I am wondering if this is possible or if someone has an idea on how to accomplish this. Thanks. normal...

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...

Hi, Can a single GridView be 'connected' to DetailsView that renders itself differently based on the currently selected row? I have a GridView with rows that could be displayed in the same way in the view (like a report) but when a user wants to edit/insert items I'd like to show a different layout and different controls based on the selected item type. For example, for some items I'd like to provide text boxes and for others I'd like...

I dynamically add data-bound templates to a gridview in my ascx control. while this works correctly when the gridview is databound to the datatable, i'm having issues on postback. i would like to iterate thru the gridview's rows, examine the databound controls, then perform a database action. for some reason, i can't find the controls. i have a two templates: one that uses a label the other uses a textbox to display data. when the...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
