GridView: Empty OldValues, NewValues

RE: GridView: Empty OldValues, NewValues

Hi Mark,

Welcome.
As for the GridView control doesn't correctly populate the OldValues or
NewValues parameters collection when performing udpdate operation, I think
it is likely caused by some certain setting in the GridView control... How
are you binding the data columns from datasource, through the BoundField or
template fields with customized html ? Also, if convenient, would you post
some detailed code snippet of your page and the code behind on this?

| I ran into a situation this morning where the RowUpdating event of a
GridView kept insisting there were no entries in either the
| OldValues or NewValues dictionaries. The GridView is bound to a
strongly-typed collection, derived from CollectionBase, through the
| control's datasource property at runtime.
|
| From some googling it appears that, at least in the release candidate for
NET2 this was a known bug; only binding to DataSources
| lets those dictionaries be populated.
|
| I would like to confirm that this is a problem with the released version
of NET2, so I can stop beating my head against the wall
| trying to get the GridView to work "as advertised".

Steven,

From the aspx file:

Re: GridView: Empty OldValues, NewValues

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response and the code you provided, so you're using a
custom class collection without using any DataSource control, I think this
should be the cause of the parameters collection in RowUpdating event being
empty. All the parameters are actually associated to the Parameters
declared in DataSource control (the select and update statement in
DataSource control), also we can find some parameter name related attribute
such as

OldValuesParame terFormatString ="original_{ 0}"

So when we do not using DataSource control, there is no info for populating
named parameters .... Thus, we may have to use the original means that
extract the value from GridViewRow's Cell control collection like what we
done in asp.net 1.1 with datagrid...

Re: GridView: Empty OldValues, NewValues

Steven,

Thanx for confirming the limitation. Two things:

1) I think this needs to be documented better. I don't recall seeing it emphasized in the documentation, and these kinds of
dependencies create annoying bugs.

2) I think it's weird that the "value" capability is tied to the parameters collection. Why not the field collection, instead? That
way it'd work with both types of data binding.

Re: GridView: Empty OldValues, NewValues

Thanks for your followup Mark,

Frankly speeking, I do agree with you that this is a big limitation since I
haven't noticed this before until you mentioned this...
Anyway, you can also add the suggestion on the MSDN feedback center. Also,
I think it'll still require us to use DataSource Control when we need to
Updating event to contains Parameters collection, however, it may become
more user friendly if there're some additional functions on the DataBound
control which can help extract bound values from each row /column...

Thanks for your understanding.. .
