Datagrid question

[BrianDH]

Hi

I have a datagrid that I populate with a web service dataset.
All fields are sent to text.
However, one field will not show its value.
You can click on a row and see that info in the grid's dataset, but the
column is empty.

What I have found is if the text that is passed into this field is EX: "This
is a test"
You will see this in the column

but

if the text is EX: "<p>this is a test</p>"
Nothing shows up in the column.

Here is how I have this column formated.

Dim txtBody As New DataGridTextBox Column
txtBody.Mapping Name = "BodyText"
txtBody.HeaderT ext = "Body"
txtBody.Width = 100
txtBody.ReadOnl y = True
ts1.GridColumnS tyles.Add(txtBo dy)

I know it has something to do with the text formating code, but i need that
formating to be there.

Thanks

Re: Datagrid question

Try embedding quotes around the phrase. But you'll have to remember to
strip them when you need to work with that phrase.

Re: Datagrid question

Brian,

Mostly these errors are because of the mappingname of the column, which has
by instance another casing (upper lower cases) or is different than you are
giving now.

I hope this helps,

RE: Datagrid question

OK the quotes are not the issue. i am not passing in quotes.
what is at issue is the html tags.

field/column name is not the issue becaues I get data in the column if it
does NOT have any html tags with in it.

if i pass >> This is a test << I see it in the column
but if I pass >> <p>This is a test</p> the column is empty.

Re: Datagrid question

That's why I suggested embedding quotes, in other words,

""""<p>This is a test</p>""""


That way, what you'll end up seeing, if you don't strip the quotes when
you pull the column from the table, is
"<p>This is a test</p>"

In order to use this column in a web page, you just have to replace the
quotes with an empty string.
