Changing a columns contents in a GridView from VB code - sql

I am displaying a grid of data which includes a users name and profile pic etc.
If they haven’t uploaded a profile picture I have set the code below to set imgPic.ImageUrl = "~/files/images/blankProfilePic.png"
However, this works only for the 1st page of 6 pages of data displayed.. As soon as you switch to the 2nd page I get the missing picture icon as the code below is only working for the initial page displayed.
I need to change this code to work on every page as it is only called when the page loads.
VB CODE
Protected Sub Page_LoadComplete(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LoadComplete
Dim acc As New accounts(Membership.GetUser.ProviderUserKey)
If acc.region = "North East" Then
For Each r As GridViewRow in gdvNorthEast.Rows
If r.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
Dim imgPic As Image
imgPic = r.Cells(4).FindControl("imgProfilePic")
If imgPic.ImageUrl = "~/catalog/images/"
imgPic.ImageUrl = "~/files/images/blankProfilePic.png"
End If
End If
Next r
End If
ASP.NET
<asp:SqlDataSource
ID="DSLeaderboardNorthEast"
runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DBConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT tblAccounts.contactName, tblAccounts.profilePic, tblAccounts.minAge, tblAccounts.maxAge, tblAccounts.AccountID, tblAccounts.region
FROM tblAccounts
WHERE tblAccounts.region='North East'
ORDER BY tblAccounts.contactName ">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:GridView ID="gdvNorthEast" width="100%" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CssClass="mGrid" DataKeyNames="accountID" DataSourceID="DSLeaderboardNorthEast" PageSize="20" AllowSorting="True">

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Image ID="imgProfilePic" AlternateText="Players profile picture" runat="server" width="100px" height="100px" ImageUrl='<%# "~/catalog/images/" & Eval("ProfilePic").ToString %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="contactName" HeaderText="Player Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="minAge" HeaderText="Won" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="maxAge" HeaderText="Lost" />
<asp:TemplateField ShowHeader="False">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="hypMessage" runat="server" CssClass="nyroModalMsg" NavigateUrl='<%# "~/sendLeaderboardMessage.aspx?" & "&aID=" & Eval("accountID").ToString %>'>Msg</asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Your foreach loop for assigning default image should be reusable method.
Use PageIndexChanged event handler to call the same reusable method.
Update:
Since the above option is not helping, follow this post
//RowDataBound Event
protected void gdvNorthEast_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
//Checking the RowType of the Row
if(e.Row.RowType==DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
//your logic goes here without foreach loop
}
}

Use the Gridview_RowDataBound event to make the function of substitution instead use a for instruction

ASP.NET Gridview

I formed the table shown below picture 1 with GridView but there is a something which I want and I explain that picture 2 (İ didn't use GridView there).
When the data come from database to column of Durum, if it is Aktif, it shows Aktif Button or if it is Pasif, it shows Pasif Button.
How can do this?
You can do pretty much whatever you want assuming you don't use default column binding but rather you define your own.
<asp:GridView ... AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
this is where your template can do
pretty much anything including conditionals
<asp:Button runat="server"
ForeColor="<%# Bind("column")=="value" ? "Red" ? "Blue" %> />
Note that dynamic binding can be applied to any property. You could have two different buttons then and dynamically bind their Visible property so that they are visible or hidden depending on a value of one of dataset columns.
More on dynamic templates in multiple tutorials, e.g.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288032.aspx
Add this TemplateField Code in your GridView:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Durum">
<ItemTemplate>
// Bind your durum column from database in Eval
<asp:Label ID="lblDurum" Visible="false" runat="server" Text='<% #Eval("durum") %>'></asp:Label>
<asp:Button ID="btnAktif" Visible="false" runat="server" Text="Aktif" />
<asp:Button ID="btnPasif" Visible="false" runat="server" Text="Pasif" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Code Behind
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
Button Aktif = e.Row.FindControl("btnAktif") as Button;
Button Pasif = e.Row.FindControl("btnPasif") as Button;
string Durum = ((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblDurum")).Text;
if (Durum=="Aktif")
Aktif.Visible = true;
else
Pasif.Visible = true;
}
}
Note: Don't forget to add OnRowDataBound in GrindView <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound" >

Exclude column in certain rows - SQL / Asp.Net

I'm wanting to change some code which was written for me. I would like to omit displaying the hyperlink where tblResults.videoLink=''
The hyperlink is displayed in the table as "Video Link" so people can click on it. I only want the words/hyperlink "Video Link" to appear in the row where people have entered one.
The code is Microsoft SQL but is written in the ASPX file. The back end is VB but there's VB is pretty much empty.. The ASPX file handles everything...
<h1>Recent Results</h1>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlMyWishes" runat="server">
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="DSWishes" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DBConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT tblResults.wishID, tblResults.Player1AccountID, tblResults.Player2AccountID, tblResults.Player1Result, tblResults.Player2Result, tblResults.venue, tblResults.potSize, tblResults.player1Name, tblResults.player2Name, tblResults.videoLink, tblResults.date FROM tblResults ORDER BY tblResults.date DESC">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:GridView ID="gdvWishes" width="100%" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CssClass="mGrid" DataKeyNames="wishID" DataSourceID="DSWishes" PageSize="20" AllowSorting="True">
<AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="alt" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="player1Name" HeaderText="Player 1" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Result">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblP1" Text='<%# Eval("player1Result").ToString %>' runat="server" Visible="true">
</asp:Label><asp:Label ID="lblVs" Text=" - " runat="server" Visible="true"></asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID="lblP2" Text='<%# Eval("player2Result").ToString %>' runat="server" Visible="true"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="17%" />
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="player2Name" HeaderText="Player 2" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="potSize" HeaderText="Pot" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="venue" HeaderText="Venue" />
<asp:TemplateField ShowHeader="False">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="hypVideoLink" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("videoLink").ToString %>'>Video Link</asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
</asp:Panel>
Create a sub like below, call it after the code that fills your GridView with data.
Private Sub HideBlankURLs()
For Each r As GridViewRow in gdvWishes.Rows
If r.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then //Execute the code only for datarow, excluding footer and header
Dim hypURL As HyperLink
hypURL = r.Cells(5).FindControl("hypVideoLink") //Goes to the column of VideoURL, index 5 is counting from 0 to 5
If hypURL.NavigateURL = "" Then //Checks if the URL is blank, if it is then hide the hyperlink control
hypURL.Visible = False
End If
End If
Next r
End Sub
This will loop through all the rows and look for the control in that column, check if navigate URL is blank, then hide that control.
NOTE: Replace the (//) with single quote (') because SO reads it as text enclosing character rather than a comment.

DetailsView ItemCommand Index outside the bounds of the array

I have the following DetailsView defined with a DropDownList of data and an Add ButtonField:
<asp:DetailsView ID="dvNewEntry" runat="server" Height="50px" Width="800px"
AutoGenerateRows="False" CssClass="gv_footer" BorderColor="Black"
BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="2px" CellPadding="5" CellSpacing="8">
<FieldHeaderStyle CssClass="th_right" />
<Fields>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Account Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblNewAcct" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ACCT_LIST") %
>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddAcctList" runat="server" DataSourceID="LUWAcctList"
DataTextField="ACCT_LIST" DataValueField="ACCT_LIST"
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("ACCT_LIST") %>' Font-Size="Small" Width="600">
</asp:DropDownList>
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" Text="Save" CommandName="Add"/>
</Fields>
</asp:DetailsView>
In the codebehind - I have the following ItemCommand sub.
Protected Sub dvNewEntry_ItemCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewCommandEventArgs) Handles dvNewEntry.ItemCommand
If e.CommandName = "Add" Then
Dim newA As String
newA = Trim(CType(dvNewEntry.FindControl("ddAcctList"), DropDownList).Text)
etc. etc.
Everything works fine when the user selects a value from the dropdown list. But if they don't make a selection and click the Add button - I get the following error when I land on the "If e.CommandName = Add" line:
Index was outside the bounds of the array
How do I handle this exception? Thanks
If (e.[someproperty] IsNot Null) Then --> your code solved the problem. Thanks Tanner

Linkbutton in a Datalist in a GridView

I have an interesting ASP/VB.NET problem. I have a gridview where each row has its own datalist in a template column. I want to add to each item in the datalist a linkbutton that will trigger an event based on data in the datalist. But I'm not sure how to do it. It's in a project so it has the designer file which does list the gridview but not the datalist inside the gridview. When I try to add it, the listing for the datalist is removed later on when I compile.
My question is now do I get the linkbutton in the datalist in the gridview to do something?
<asp:GridView ID="gvCmteNom" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" showheader="true" HeaderStyle-BackColor="Silver" Width="1600px">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="CURRENT SERVICE">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtID" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("NOMINEE_ID") %>' Visible="False" Width="25px" />
<asp:DataList ID="dlCurrentCmtes" runat="server" DataSourceID="dsCurrentCmte" RepeatLayout="Flow" DataKeyField="ID" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hdnUserID" Value='<%# Eval("ID") %>' />
<asp:Label ID="lblDescription" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Description") %>' />
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="lbIncrementYear" CommandName="IncrementYear" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ProductID") %>' Text="Add Year" />
</ItemTemplate>
<SeparatorTemplate><br /><br /></SeparatorTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
Two options:
Option 1
Specify the ItemCommand event handler for the DataList and use that to respond to the event:
<asp:DataList OnItemCommand="Item_Command" />
Then specify that function in the code behind:
Sub Item_Command(sender As Object, e As DataListCommandEventArgs)
If e.CommandName = "IncrementYear" Then
...
End If
End Sub
Option 2 Specify the OnClick eventhandler for the link button
<asp:LinkButton OnClick="LinkButton_Click" runat="server"/>
Then
Sub LinkButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
...
End Sub

Sending email to all the email adresses in gridview which are checked

I have a grid view control in my application.
Please see the below code.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="CPUserID" DataSourceID="GetSelectDelegatesDataSource">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderStyle-CssClass="gridview_header" HeaderStyle-ForeColor="White" Visible="false" DataField="EmailAddress" HeaderText="Email Address" SortExpression="EmailAddress">
<HeaderStyle CssClass="gridview_header" ForeColor="White"></HeaderStyle>
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Select">
<HeaderTemplate>
<input id="masterCheck" type="checkbox" />
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="chkSelect" />
</ItemTemplate>
<HeaderStyle CssClass="gridview_header" ForeColor="White"></HeaderStyle>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
And I have a image button
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnSendInvites" Visible="false" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images1/send_button.png" />
If you see above code you can find that there is check box functionality in my gridview. I have email address boundfield in my gridview. I want to send an email to the email addresses which are been checked in gridview.
Please provide the vb.net code for the same
Very quickly thrown together, you can get the jist.. I didn't test it or anything.
Dim emailList As New List(Of String)
For Each curRow As GridViewRow In GridView1.Rows
Dim chkSelect As CheckBox = CType(curRow.Cells(1).FindControl("chkSelect"), CheckBox)
If chkSelect.Checked Then
emailList.Add(curRow.Cells(0).Text)
End If
Next
' you now have a generic list of email addresses..
System.Web.Mail provide the functionality to send mail from .Net framework. Download the sample project Send Mail- codeproject and see how this is implemented.
Check this link on BulkEditGridView. It's just like a GridView, but you can edit (or perform actions on) multiple rows of a gridview with one click. I use it and love it.
