Question

Manipulate Data from Dataset before binding to ASP.NET grid view

Asked by: subhorachana

Hello,
I have the following requirement:
On page load, Active orders should be displayed . I am using an ASP.NET gridview to display it.
Active Orders have active_flag=Y.   I have to give the user an option to select inactive policies as well.

I wanted to query the DB once during page load and then display the Active policies only on page load.On selection of Inactive policies, Can data from the same dataset be used, without querying the databse again?
Please suggest a good way and code too .

Dear subhorachana,
>>... Can data from the same dataset be used, without querying the databse again?
You can opt to use DataView object. The criteria can be re-fiilter as needed. But, you may need to pull out all the data first, then use the built-in filter preference. You have to decide if this method of re-query resource is better consume web memory or database memory.
eg:
Dim view As DataView = New DataView
    With view
        .Table = YourCurrentReturnedDataTable ' resources
        .RowFilter = "active_flag= 'Y'"
    End With

Check this MSDN site for further clarifications:

use this for selecting through a dataTable in dataSet:
gridview1.DataSource=ds.Tables[0].Select("active_flag=Y");

You can store the dataset in the session or cache and access it/ change it or update it from there. in VB:

You can bind the grid to this property and make your changes here as well. Then when you're done just clear the cache of the object to release the memory.

Private Property DS as DataSet
   Get
      If CType(Cache("MyDS"), DataSet) IsNot Nothing Then
         Return Cache("MyDS")
      End If
   End Get
   Set (value as DataSet)
         Cache("MyDS") = value
   End Set
End Property
 
' Then on Page_Load (or wherever):
 
If DS IsNothing Then 
   ' get data from source and store it into property
End If
