Yep, the article was pretty cool. As you said, I removed the hidden field, and placed the value i need in a cell. The code goes as below <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"TaskId")%> Now by iterating I am trying to grab the cells value... foreach (DataGridItem dgItem in dgTimesheet.Items) { TaskId=dgItem.Cells[8].Text; } But still it doesnt show anything in the dgItem.cells[8].text, i checked the cell no. , have kept it visible. It shows in the grid. Can u let me know where I am going wrong? Thanks -- modified at 15:50 Thursday 15th September, 2005

yep, my mistake i pasted the changes in a different class. I modified my message, can u pls have a look at it? Thanks

Hi there, In this case, you simply use a RequiredFieldValidator to validate the RadioButtonList, and remember to set the id of the radiobuttonlist in the ControlToValidate property of the validator. You also need to make sure that each item of the radiobuttonlist has its value. Another way is to always select an item by default, then you don't need any validator here to validate the control.

Thanks a lot :)

It looks something like: <%@ Page UICulture="en" Culture="en-GB"...%> At runtime, you can format the value of the DateTime type for a specific culture, you can take a look at here[^] for more information. Since you didn't say what is the error, what your failure code looks like, so I have no idea why.

Hi there, There are a couple of ways to do that: + From the child window, you can use javascript to get reference to the form element in the parent window and call the submit() method. + Place a hidden button on the parent form, you can use javascript from the child window to call the click method of the hidden button. Just some ideas.

Because you use the FromDate, ToDate objects of the DateTime in the expression, so at runtime the ASP.NET will call the DateTime.ToString() method without specifying the format pattern in the method paramater. As a result you will see something that you don't expect, instead you can try with one of the two options below: + Use the objects of the string type: <%= strFromDate %> to <%= strToDate%> + Use the objects of the DateTime type: <%= FromDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy",new CultureInfo("en-GB")) %> to <%= ToDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy",new CultureInfo("en-GB"))%>

Thanks a lot

Hmmm....i checked it out putting Session.SessionId. Closing the browser and reopening it creates a new session. My problem was rather with cookies. I was creating persistent cookies. Anyways I have changed the code... Thanks a lot for ur help.

Thanks a lot :)

You missed AUTOPOSTBACK=true for the checkbox. Deepak Kumar Vasudevan Personal Web: http://vdeepakkumar.netfirms.com/ I Blog At: http://deepak.blogdrive.com/

You will need to use the <%@ Import %> directive. To find out more about it, read this on MSDN[^] ~Javier Lozano

The answer is a little more complicated than it should be....Or at least I thought it should be. The following code is meant to take the value of the cell (that the user has selected and changed)and write this value into the database. It then refreshes the DataGrid to show the new value. The hardest part to understand is that you have to create a DataGridTableStyle object to do this. The reason for creating this object is that the class provides the necessary methods and properties that you need to access. private void updateButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { //DataGridTableStyle provides the mechanisms DataGridTableStyle ts1 = new DataGridTableStyle(); //DataGridCell allows you to hold the contents of the specified cell DataGridCell myCell; myCell = UserdataGrid.CurrentCell; // map the DataGridTableStyle object to the database source ts1.MappingName = "SessionTable"; //Add the DataGridTableStyle object to the grid's TableStyles collection UserdataGrid.TableStyles.Add(ts1); string infoStr = null; int j = 0; //The two foreach statements is a loop within a loop //The outer loop deals with the row index //The inner loop returns the column number (j) if there is a match //and the infoStr(column to change) foreach(DataGridTableStyle gridStyle in UserdataGrid.TableStyles) { foreach(DataGridColumnStyle colStyle in gridStyle.GridColumnStyles) { if (j == myCell.ColumnNumber) { infoStr = colStyle.MappingName; } j++; } //end inner foreach } //end outer foreach //The element selection has been found //and the current row index is where it can be found int i = UserdataGrid.CurrentRowIndex; //Get the unique id associated with this row //Note that I needed to make this GUID id part of //my DataTable so that when I update the sql table //I am updating only that particular record //and not other records that may have similiar entries String userId = UserdataGrid[i, 7].ToString(); //The UpdateRecord method creates an SQL update statement //Parameters are: //Table to change //Column to change //Column to search for GUID id //match on GUID id will determine row index //Value to update sql.UpdateRecord("SessionTable", infoStr, "UserId", userId, UserdataGrid[myCell].ToString()); //Now all we need to do is show the changes in the DataGrid FillData(); UserdataGrid.SetDataBinding(dataSet, "SessionTable"); UserdataGrid.Refresh(); } Whoooo!!! It sure seems like alot of work just to get a value, change it and then display t

Hi,,, I have a simple check, the way u suggested above...like.. If txtActEndDate(textbox) is not null....the cmbPercComplete( percentage complete) should be 100. If not its invalid. I want to use a server side script, as for all the validations I am not giving any alerts. private void fn_PercComplete(Object sender, ServerValidateEventArgs e) { if (txtActEndDate.Text !="") { if (cmbPercComplete.SelectedItem.Text!="100") { e.IsValid=false; return; } } e.IsValid=true; } .aspx code If I write ClientSidevalidadation script, wl it serve my purpose? I mean, if i return false from the client script, wl the error message in the validator be displayed.. i tried it but its not working...I am not sure whether it should or not??? Thanks

Try following [List](javascript:fn_clicklist\('+<%=ProjectId%>+'\)) Utsav

Thanks a lot, its working fine...

Specify a format provider that matches the format you want to use when you parse the date. This example uses a swedish culture info object to parse a date in swedish format: DateTime today = DateTime.Parse("2005-07-07", new CultureInfo(1053)); --- b { font-weight: normal; }

When you're converting a string to any kind of object, if the object has a Parse method, use it. IMHO, it's always going to work better than the more generic methods in Convert. Also, Parse deals with whitespace and invalid character issues better. I've almost gotten away with never using Convert in any of my apps... There is no difference between a TextBox's Text property and a String. The Text property returns a String object, so, the only possible problem is an input error in the TextBox. If you include leading and/or trailing spaces, tabs, incorrect formatting characters, ..., Convert might not work whereas Parse might.
