Trouble with DetailsView, OnItemUpdating

what do you want to do in the item updating event? kinda what you are trying to implement using that event?

Pulled changed key/value pairs for use in a custom store procedure call.

I could hack the request form - DetailViewEdit.ClientID.Replace('$', '_')  - but that seems a little too sloppy.


        foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in e.NewValues)
        {
              // New Edits, entry.Key : entry.Value

        }

You have to use the DataKey to capture the values.

protected void DetailsView1_ItemUpdating(object sender,
 
DetailsViewUpdateEventArgs e)
 
{
 
int id = (int)DetailsView1.DataKey[0];
 
TextBox txtName = DetailsView1.FindControl("txtName") as TextBox;
 
string newname = txtName.Text;

Select allOpen in new window

Not sure if that example exactly relates as I'm creating the Bound Fields on the fly:

...
  BoundField bf = new BoundField();
  bf.DataField = field.Key;
  bf.HeaderText = field.Name;
 
  DetailViewEdit.Fields.Add(bf);

DetailViewEdit.DataSource = referenceDataTable;
DetailViewEdit.DataBind();


DetailViewEdit.FindControl(field.Key) as TextBox;  <-- is null

Found the solution.


thx.

        for (int i = 0; i < DetailViewEdit.Fields.Count; i++)
        {
            DataControlFieldCell cellNormal = detailsView.Rows[i].Cells[0] as DataControlFieldCell;
            detailsView.Fields[i].ExtractValuesFromCell(e.Keys, cellNormal, DataControlRowState.Normal, true);
 
            DataControlFieldCell cellEdit = detailsView.Rows[i].Cells[1] as DataControlFieldCell;
            detailsView.Fields[i].ExtractValuesFromCell(e.NewValues, cellEdit, DataControlRowState.Edit, false);
        }
 
 
        foreach (string key in e.Keys.Keys)
        {
            Utilities.Log.WriteFileEntry("Key(" + key + ") - Value:" + e.Keys[key], Log.Priority.Medium);
        }
 
        foreach (string key in e.NewValues.Keys)
        {
            Utilities.Log.WriteFileEntry("NewValues Key(" + key + ") - Value:" + e.NewValues[key], Log.Priority.Medium);
        }
