This post demonstrate how to make a GridView editable all the time using C# asp.net.
step1-: Create a table with name " items" with following columns("iterm_no","name","price")
where "iterm_no" is identity column.as describe below
create table items
(
iterm_no int identity(1,1),
name varchar(20),
price numeric(10,2)
)
step2- Now create a web page with name(EditableGridView). as describe below.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="EditableGridView.aspx.cs" Inherits="EditableGridView" %>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Editable GridView</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
BackColor="White" BorderColor="#CCCCCC" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px"
CellPadding="3" DataKeyNames="INTERM_NO" >
<FooterStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#000066" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="INTERM_NO" HeaderText="ITEM_N0" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True"
SortExpression="INTERM_NO" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="NAME" SortExpression="NAME">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("NAME") %>'
OnTextChanged="TextBox_TextChanged" BorderStyle="None"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField1" runat="server" Value='<%# Eval("INTERM_NO") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="PRICE" SortExpression="PRICE">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("PRICE") %>'
OnTextChanged="TextBox_TextChanged" BorderStyle="None"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<RowStyle ForeColor="#000066" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#669999" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#000066" HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#006699" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
</asp:GridView>
</div>
<asp:Button ID="btnUpdate" runat="server" onclick="btnUpdate_Click"
Text="Update" />
<asp:Label ID="lblMessage" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</form>
</body>
</html>
step 3- Go to your code behind (EditableGridView.cs) as describe below.
using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public partial class EditableGridView : System.Web.UI.Page
{
SqlConnection con;
bool[] rowChanged;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string conString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["mycon"];
con = new SqlConnection(conString);
int totalRows = GridView1.Rows.Count;
rowChanged = new bool[totalRows];
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
BindGrid();
}
}
public void BindGrid()
{
SqlDataAdapter adap = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from items", con);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
adap.Fill(dt);
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
protected void TextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox thisTextBox = (TextBox)sender;
GridViewRow thisGridViewRow = (GridViewRow)thisTextBox.Parent.Parent;
int row = thisGridViewRow.RowIndex;
rowChanged[row] = true;
}
protected void btnUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsPostBack)
{
int totalRows = GridView1.Rows.Count;
for (int r = 0; r < totalRows; r++)
{
if (rowChanged[r])
{
GridViewRow thisGridViewRow = GridView1.Rows[r];
HiddenField hf1 = (HiddenField)thisGridViewRow.FindControl("HiddenField1");
string pk = hf1.Value;
TextBox tb1 = (TextBox)thisGridViewRow.FindControl("TextBox1");
string name = tb1.Text;
TextBox tb2 = (TextBox)thisGridViewRow.FindControl("TextBox2");
decimal price = Convert.ToDecimal(tb2.Text);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("update items set name='" + name + "' , price='" + price + "' where INTERM_NO=' " + pk + "'", con);
if (con.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
{
con.Open();
}
int temp = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (temp > 0)
{
lblMessage.Text = "Operation perform successfully";
con.Close();
}
}
}
GridView1.DataBind();
BindGrid();
}
}
}

DeleteHello, I am new to the GridView control and C#.. but do program in VbScript/ASP and javascript. I am having an issue getting this to work. Can you help me please? Are you sure the pages are named correctly in you code?
ReplyDelete"EditableGridView" and "EditableGridView.cs"?
Isn't one page supposed to be "EditableGridView.aspx"?
And why is the code at the top of EditableGridView reference the the pages with different names -
CodeFile="EditableGridView.aspx.cs" Inherits="EditableGridView.cs " %>
