According to a specific row value (Type), I must use a TextBox or a DropDownlist inside an EditTemplateField (only ONE of them). How can I bind conditionally controls inside the EditItemTemplate in order to tell the UpdateMethod which is the control to take into consideration for the field "Value"?
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="LabelType" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Type") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="LabelType" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Type") %>'></asp:Label>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="LabelValue" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Value") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<div style="text-align:center">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBoxValue" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Value") %>'></asp:TextBox>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownListValue" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("Value") %>'>
</asp:DropDownList>
</div>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
The GridView's UpdateMethod has "Value" as input parameter and it must be able to decide if taking it from DropDownListValue or TextBoxValue.
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ODSResults" runat="server"
SelectMethod="GetDataByIdDevice"
TypeName="DataSetSWCTableAdapters.DispositivoParametro_TableAdapter"
UpdateMethod="Save">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="IdDevice" QueryStringField="id" Type="Int32" />
<asp:ProfileParameter Name="Culture" PropertyName="Cultura" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="ParameterCode" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="IdDevice" Type="Int32" />
<asp:Parameter Name="IdParameter" Type="Int32" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Value" Type="Int64" />
</UpdateParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>
I tried to hide/show the controls TextBoxValue and DropDownListValue (using the property "Visible") but it does not work: UI is fine but the UpdateMethod always receives 0 as input value (I guess as result of an empty string casting).
Simple use of RowDatabound Event
of Gridview should solve your problem...refer the code below...
protected void GridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
if( e.Row.RowState==DataControlRowState.Edit)
{
DropDownList drpctrl =(DropDownList)e.Row.Cells[CellIndex].FindControl("DropDownListValue");
TextBox txtCntrl=(TextBox )e.Row.Cells[CellIndex].FindControl("TextBoxValue");
if(YuorCondition)
{
drpctrl.Visible=true/false;
txtCntrl.Visible=true/false;
ODSResults.UpdateMethod = "Save";
ODSResults.InputParameters.Clear();
ODSResults.InputParameters.Add("IdDevice", "Value1");
ODSResults.InputParameters.Add("IdParameter", "Value2");
ODSResults.InputParameters.Add("Value", dropdownValue/Textbox Value);
}
}
}
}
