Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Hi Experts,

I am having the following error in my code... there is a gridview and each row on it has a "delete" button which executes the following code:

protected void GridView_userList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Get User_ID of selected row

int nRecipUser_ID = Convert.ToInt16(((Label)GridView_userList.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblRecipUser_ID")).Text);

// Remove user from nomination
RecipientManager.recipient_DeleteFromOrder(nRecipUser_ID, SessionManager.Instance.nNomination_ID);
}

This works fine when deleting items from the gridview except the very last item, which causes an error:

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

The highlighted line error is:

Line 103: int nRecipUser_ID = Convert.ToInt16(((Label)GridView_userList.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblRecipUser_ID")).Text);

Any ideas?!

Thanks,

Anthony

Sounds like you are not deleting the correct row. The rows are zero indexed, so if the row is 10 items long, 9 is the last item.

Are you sure you are deleting the correct rows? Try this maybe?

int nRecipUser_ID = Convert.ToInt16(((Label)GridView_userList.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblRecipUser_ID")).Text)-1;

Hi,

I'm sure it is correct because the ID it is retrieving is the text value of the label control which in turn is the ID of the database record, not the id of the row.

But I did find a mistake... I was choosing the nRecipUser_ID which was not the primary key for the Recipients table where my data is coming from for this gridview... I have now changed it to nRecipient_ID which is the primary key but I'm still having the same problem but also another problem. When I click the select button on the first gridview (gridview_SearchResults), I am not seeing the user appear in my 2nd gridview (GridView_userList) UNLESS I click TWICE on the "select" button in the first gridview.

Just to explain what this page is supposed to do...

1) User enters some search values into textboxes, then the search results appear in a gridview. Each row in that gridview has a select button.
2) When the select button is clicked, the page checks if there is an order session. If yes, then the recipient is added to the recipients table in database along with the existing order ID (in session)
3) If the order ID does not exist in session, then a new order is created and the order id is stored in a session. Then the recipient is added to this order as above.
4) Each time the page is loaded, the page checks to see if there is an existing order session ID. If there is, then the 2nd gridview is displayed (this one retrieves any recipients that have been added to this order). Each row in this gridview has a Delete button next to it, which when clicked, should remove the recipient from the recipients table in the database.

Here is all my code for this page:

                        also filter on Business Unit, using the drop-down box provided.</p>

Hi,

I seem to have fixed the problem for the "index out of range" error by doing the following:

1) Added "DataKeyNames="nRecipient_ID" to the GridView control for the User_List (the 2nd gridview in my example)
2) Modified the SelectedIndexChanged event on the gridview to use the datakey as follows:

===

protected void GridView_userList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Get User_ID of selected row

//int nRecipient_ID = Convert.ToInt16(((Label)GridView_userList.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblRecipient_ID")).Text);
int nRecipient_ID = (int)GridView_userList.SelectedDataKey.Values["nRecipient_ID"];

// Remove user from nomination
RecipientManager.recipient_DeleteFromOrder(nRecipient_ID);

// Databind
GridView_userList.DataBind();
}

I'm still getting the problem of having to click "select" button twice on the first gridview before the 2nd one is updated which is strange...

Any suggestions for points???

Cheers,

I think I've fixed the "clicking twice" issue as well. Essentially I had to re-bind the user_list gridview inside the selectedindexchanged event of the first gridview... eg.

Panel_userList.Visible = true;
objdatasource_userList.SelectParameters.Clear();
objdatasource_userList.SelectParameters.Add("nOrder_ID", SessionManager.Instance.nNomination_ID.ToString());
GridView_userList.DataBind();

Cheers
