GridView Problems

[MarkTingson]

Hi guys,

Can you help me with my problem?

I have 2 web forms, Home webform and Admin webform.
Each webform has 1 gridview, grdHome and grdAdmin.

I also have 1 table which has field1,field2,f ield3,field4,fi eld5,field6
grdHome has 3 columns: field1, field2 & field3.
grdAdmin has also 3 columns field4,field5,f ield6
I have successfully created a hyperlink in grdHome's field1. It is hyperlinked in the Admin webform.

What I want to do is:

1.) when i click one record in field1, the grdAdmin in the Admin webform should only display the specific record from field 4,field 5 and field 6...


Thanks,

Please help me..

this is something to do with passing parameters and then querying the database and databinding the gridview to the data source.

Where are you facing problems?

I really don't know how to do it.. I am only new in .ASP but im pretty familiar with VB script..can you show me some codes?and where to put it?

How are you filling data into your grid view (especially for the admin)?

What you would need is to refill the admin grid depending upon a certain value.
So you would only need to modify your sql query a bit to accomodate that.

Once you get that working you can use query strings, or session variable when moving to the admin page when the link is clicked.

However im not sure how this is to be done if 2 browser windows are open and you want to effectively change the data in the second browser based on what you clicked in the first one

ok..

my grdAdmin has no query.. i actually leave it blank because i am researching how to do it...

what i need to do is when i click the hyperlink in grdHome, grdADmin must display the specific record that corresponds to what records i click..

meaning to say, grdAdmin must display only 3 columns, with 1 row..

so far, i have done nothing, but i am succesful creating a hyperlink in the gridview

please help me..what i want is to display a specific record in my grdAdmin in the Admin webform..

Thanks

Allright,
Have you connected your application to the database?

what database backend are you using

you would need to build up a sql query like
[CODE=sql]select field4,field5,f ield6 from my table where field1 = 'avalue';[/CODE]

If you do not know how to connect your application to a database and query, i suggest you search the forum (and even howtos) and the internet too for this.

Thanks,

I am using SQL Server 2005 as my database.. I already connected my grdHome to it..

I am successful populating the records in grdHome..

where will I put this SQL code? this is actually what i'm thinking of..

Does the 'avalue' means that it is equal to the record I clicked?

This is my code:

<asp:GridView ID="grdHome" runat="server" AllowPaging="Tr ue" AllowSorting="T rue"
AutoGenerateCol umns="False" CellPadding="4" DataSourceID="S qlDataSource3" BackColor="Whit e" BorderColor="#C C9966" BorderStyle="No ne" BorderWidth="2p x" style="z-index: 100; left: 57px; position: absolute; top: 216px" OnSelectedIndex Changed="grdAdm in_SelectedInde xChanged" PageSize="5">
<FooterStyle BackColor="#FFF FCC" ForeColor="#330 099" />
<Columns>
<asp:HyperLinkF ield DataNavigateUrl Fields="Project _name"
HeaderText="Pro ject Name"
SortExpression= "Project_na me"
DataNavigateUrl FormatString="A dmin.aspx?id={0 }"
DataTextField=" Project_Name"

NavigateUrl="Ad min.aspx"/>
<asp:BoundFie ld DataField="Proj ect_manager" HeaderText="Pro ject Manager" SortExpression= "Project_manage r" />
<asp:BoundFie ld DataField="ITP_ status" HeaderText="Sta tus" SortExpression= "ITP_status " />
<asp:BoundFie ld DataField="Date _requested" HeaderText="Dat e Submitted" SortExpression= "Date_requested " />
</Columns>
<RowStyle BackColor="Whit e" ForeColor="#330 099" />
<SelectedRowSty le BackColor="#FFC C66" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#663 399" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#FFF FCC" ForeColor="#330 099" HorizontalAlign ="Center" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#990 000" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#FFF FCC" />
</asp:GridView>

notice the hyperlink?it will be go to the Admin webform.. as of now my admin has gridview but it has no query.. where will i put the query?

[Shashi Sadasivan]

Okay..
thanks for that piece of code.
Now as you said you are using SQL Server, hopefully you are using typed datasets (ie you would have dragged and dropped tables from SQL Server onto visual studio)
where the table is created you also have an adapter associated. Right click that and choose add new query.

this should bring you to a more sql familiar area and create a parametr for the field id that you are passing from your previous form

this will appear as a method within your tableAdapter method now

Once you are in Admin.aspx

run Request.QuerySt ring("id");
to retrive the value passed from the home grid. use this id to feed into the tabl;eAdapter method created.
