Add Grand Total Row at bottom of GridView

Ok, found a great article here:

http://aspalliance.com/782

so far, I've done this:

......
                <FooterTemplate>
                    <%# GetAZTotal().ToString("N2") %>
                </FooterTemplate>
            </Columns>


and in my code-behind:

    Dim TotalAZBudget As Integer
    Function GetAZBudget(ByVal AZBudget As Integer) As Integer
        TotalAZBudget += AZBudget
        Return AZBudget
    End Function
    Function GetAZBudgetTotal() As Integer
        Return TotalAZBudget
    End Function

Error I'm getting:

Inside your Footer template put <asp:Label runat="server" id="lblTotal" />

Then in your codebehind

lblTotal.Text = TotalAZBudget

Ok, tried this, still getting error and not sure if I should be placing the AZTotal.ToText - TotalAZBudget in the Page load or not

        TotalAZBudget += AZBudget
        Return AZBudget
    End Function
    Function GetAZBudgetTotal() As Integer
        Return TotalAZBudget
    End Function

and before when I had  <%# GetAZTotal().ToString("N2") %> in there, I got this error:
ASP.NET runtime error: Code blocks are not supported in this context

why was that?

I'm all messed up here, hold on...

Here is a solid site to explain how to get it to work.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.templatefield.footertemplate.aspx

How do I get rid of this error, I still don't understand this damn error message.  Do I need to ad a missing namespace or do I just not have it placed in the correct area within my DataGrid?

but won't that create another column?

No it will tell it under which column the footer should reside....

So if you want it to be a total under 'AZ Budget' then have

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="AZ Budget" SortExpression="Name" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
                  <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left"></HeaderStyle>
                     <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:TextBox width="55px"  MaxLength="10" ID="txtAZBudget" Text='<%# Bind("AZBudget") %>' runat="server" />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                       <FooterTemplate>
                          <asp:Label runat="server" id="AZTotal_Label" />
                      </FooterTemplate
                </asp:TemplateField>

Ok, the grid is rendering again, but I'm not seeing anything here in the label for AZBudget.

Code-behind:

    End Sub
....


    Dim gv_dashboard As GridView

    ' Create a variable to store the order total.
    Private AZBudgetTotal As Integer = 0

    Sub gv_dashboard_RowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Footer Then

            ' Get the AZTotal_Label Label control in the footer row.
            Dim AZTotal As Label = CType(e.Row.FindControl("AZTotal_Label"), Label)

            ' Display the grand total of the AZBudget Column formatted as currency.
            If (Not AZTotal Is Nothing) Then
                AZTotal.Text = AZBudgetTotal.ToString("c0")
            End If

        End If
    End Sub


    Sub gv_dashboard_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)

        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

            ' Get the cell that contains the item total.
            Dim cell As TableCell = e.Row.Cells(1)

            ' Get the DataBoundLiteralControl control that contains the
            ' data bound value.
            Dim boundControl As DataBoundLiteralControl = CType(cell.Controls(1), DataBoundLiteralControl)

            ' Remove the '$' character so that the type converter works properly.
            Dim itemTotal As String = boundControl.Text.Replace("$", "")

            ' Add the total for an item (row) to the order total.
            AZBudgetTotal += Convert.ToDecimal(itemTotal)

        End If

    End Sub

also, I don't think this is in the right spot still, I feel ilke it should be somewhere else on its own, not in the last ItemTemplateField
               <FooterTemplate>
                    <asp:Label runat="server" id="AZTotal_Label" />
                </FooterTemplate>

To see if it is in the right spot try this

<FooterTemplate>
                    <asp:Label runat="server" id="AZTotal_Label" Text="Testing" />
                </FooterTemplate>

You can then see where it is meant to be...

Try changing

Private AZBudgetTotal As Integer = 0

to

Public AZBudgetTotal As Integer = 0

>>>To see if it is in the right spot try this
what do you mean by spot try...


>>>Try changing

Private AZBudgetTotal As Integer = 0

to

Public AZBudgetTotal As Integer = 0

Did that, didn't make a difference when the Grid was rendered...

nevermind I see, yea, good idea, let me try that label and see where the footer field is ending up for your spot try

ok, cool thanks.  I need to add the footer right here since it will then show below that row then:

                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="AZ Budget" SortExpression="Name" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
                  <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left"></HeaderStyle>
                     <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:TextBox width="55px"  MaxLength="10" ID="txtAZBudget" Text='<%# Bind("AZBudget") %>' runat="server" />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                 <FooterTemplate>
                    <asp:Label runat="server" id="AZTotal_Label" Text="testing" />
                </FooterTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>

Okay so it is now in the right place on the grid but still not showing up?

If you put a breakpoint on this line

AZBudgetTotal += Convert.ToDecimal(itemTotal)

Does AZBudgetTotal get incremented?

Also try change
AZTotal.Text = AZBudgetTotal.ToString("c0")
to
AZTotal.Text = AZBudgetTotal.ToString("c:0")

If I put a stop point at AZBudgetTotal += Convert.ToDecimal(itemTotal), how can I see the value behind it?  I mouse over it once it gets there but don't see a thing except for it to show "Public AZBudgetTotal As Integer = 0"

Here's my entire code-behind: http://www.webfound.net/codebehind.txt

I think i screwed up the update function when I tried putting this line in there:

    Dim gv_dashboard As GridView

because it didn't understand what gv_dahsboard was when I created the function

 Sub gv_dashboard_RowCreated()

for example.

Yeah you should not need this
Dim gv_dashboard As GridView

Also remember to add

ShowFooter="True"

To your GridView HTML declaration. The easiest way to create the events is to click on your datagrid in Design Time, select properties, click on the lightning bolt and then choose them from there.

well, now I'm baffled, wtih the link I gave you to my entire code, without the extra Subs, my UPdate Sub was working fine.  Now it cannot recognize my griview name of gv_dashboard for some odd reason.

>> Now it cannot recognize my griview name of gv_dashboard for some odd reason.
Check the designer file to make sure the control declaration is still there and has the correct name....should be something like:

Protected WithEvents gv_dashboard as System.Web.UI...


Along the same lines as what you're trying to do:
http://msconline.maconstate.edu/tutorials/ASPNET2/ASPNET07/aspnet07-05.aspx


I don't have a snippet to post right now...but you can also accomplish footer totals using *only* the RowDatabound of the gridview at runtime...let me know if you want me to dig it up....

st

yea, if you can dig it up thanks, if it takes a long time don't worry about it.  Thanks, yea, I was checking the codegen file and it wasn't in there...

what is strange to me is how it disappeared!

thanks, I looked back a few days ago at a backed up designer file and it was there.  I'll just put it back in...strange...

    Protected WithEvents gv_dashboard As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView

Ok, back to why it's not summing.  I'm assuming the array of controls on an aspx page starts with 0

Ok, first question.  I still do not see how this is summing anything

    ' Create a variable to store the order total.
    Public AZBudgetTotal As Integer = 0

    Sub gv_dashboard_RowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Footer Then

            ' Get the AZTotal_Label Label control in the footer row.
            Dim AZTotal As Label = CType(e.Row.FindControl("AZTotal_Label"), Label)

            ' Display the grand total of the AZBudget Column formatted as currency.
            If (Not AZTotal Is Nothing) Then
                AZTotal.Text = AZBudgetTotal.ToString("c:0")
            End If

        End If
    End Sub


    Sub gv_dashboard_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)

        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

            ' Get the cell that contains the item total.
            Dim cell As TableCell = e.Row.Cells(1)

            ' Get the DataBoundLiteralControl control that contains the
            ' data bound value.
            Dim boundControl As DataBoundLiteralControl = CType(cell.Controls(1), DataBoundLiteralControl)

            ' Remove the '$' character so that the type converter works properly.
            Dim itemTotal As String = boundControl.Text.Replace("$", "")

            ' Add the total for an item (row) to the order total.
            AZBudgetTotal += Convert.ToDecimal(itemTotal)

        End If

    End Sub


Second question

I don't think this is right (Dim cell As TableCell = e.Row.Cells(1)).  This tells me it's trying to grab the total field...my label which I assume would be 2 in the array of items on my page since the footerfield is third in my gridview

Looks like the index of the array is based on the DataSource.  In this case then, I don't know what to put for this

Dim cell As TableCell = e.Row.Cells(1)

since the label, which reprents the total value eventually isn't from the datasource...so which index would I have to use for this?

http://scoregasm.blogspot.com/2006/02/aspnet-adding-total-to-gridview.html
A few notes. First, I find it better to index the DataRowView by the column label over the index. The index is based on the DataSource, not the order of the columns in the GridView, so it can be confusing.

I found a better way to do this using this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/GridViewEx09.asp

lol...your last post was the code I was going to try to dig up... =0D

Weird.  I first changed my Total_Label by taking out the Text= portion since the Sub will populate that for me.  But when my form is rendered, no text is rendered for Totals_Label nor any totals for the other 2 footer labels:

samtran0331. sweet! yea, I can't believe it's taking me half a day to figure out how to add totals to my gridview.  Oh well, live and learn...that's .NET for you.

Any reason why you think nothing is being rendered here to the lables?  I think I have everything right in my Sub so far as I can see...

what the hell is up with Opera anyway, when I paste my URL, it never loads, and stalls...anyway, back to IE I guess.

ps...

Although it's a pretty simple technique...it can be quite powerful to your client...like doing averages...or using the value to change the cell or text color...like if AZBudgetTotal > 50000 for the current row, you can set the column to bold or something...

yea, just figuring out why the hell it isn't showing any text in my labels.  How is this Sub invoked?  do I need to invoke it?

you shouldn't need labels in the footer...you're writing the values right into the cell when you do "e.Row.Cells(*).Text"
if you use labels...you'd need to get the label either by FindControl or referencing the control directly before you can set its text

so any clues as to why it's not populating my labels...all 3 are not showing a thing in my footerfields:

Here's my latest code:

http://www.webfound.net/index_.txt

http://www.webfound.net/codebehind_gridview.txt

I don't see why it's not populating the labels

oh, I see...let me take the lables out...

...I guess I didn't really answer your last 2 questions:
> How is this Sub invoked?  do I need to invoke it?
Any time you bind your grid, the  gv_dashboard_RowDataBound will be invoked.
so, no, you don't need to do anything else beside bind the grid to fire off the  gv_dashboard_RowDataBound

Ok but if I take the lables out, basically I'll have 3 of these...then I assume it's referencing them by index then at that point which is 0, 1, and 2 starting from top down?

this is driving me batty.  I took out the labels in my GridView as you see above.  All other code is the same as I posted via those 2 links.  Why isn't it rendering anytying in those FooterTemplates?  

so you didn't even use footertemplate...why?

AHHHHHHHHHHHH, I was missing Handles gv_dashboard.RowDataBound

What exactly is that doing?

it's working! thanks a lot!

>>What exactly is that doing?
If you're using codebehind...the "handles" part is what wires up the subroutine to the datagrid

you could have just as well named the sub something else and left off the Handle like:

Private Sub keepRunningSum(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)
        Try
            If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
                dblAD1 += Convert.ToDecimal(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "sumProd"))
....etc....
    End Sub

And then in your datagrid/gridview on the aspx page set the tag:
<asp:grdiview OnRowDatabound="keepRunningSum".....> etc....
