C#.NET - Input String not in a Valid Format

I worked through the weekend at a feable attempt to resolve this error.  I've posted the entire code for the page involved below, both .aspx and code behind.  I wish I could give you 5,000 points for solving it as it's worth that too me, darn limit.

Anyway, I got this code from an example out of the ADO.NET 3.5 Cookbook put out by O'Reilly.  The major difference between my code and theirs is that I'm grabbing the needed record from the id provided in the querystring and they don't.  EE wouldn't let me attach their sample, but you can download it here - http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596101404/ADO.NET3.5ckbk_csharp_source.zip.  It's the 8.7 UpdateDataWebFormGridView solution.

I get the "Input string not in a valid format" error anytime I do a function that involves changing the database.  (e.g. When I try to edit a row, it fails on the DataRow row = dt.Rows.Find(((TextBox)... line in my gvRevealDetails_RowUpdating constructor.)  After stepping through my code, it appears that it is never filling the "rows" attribute for the update, but I have verified that it is connecting to the database and pulling the existing data back, so it's something with the code that it doesn't appear to be saving the changes to the datatable to send back to the database.

You'll notice a section that isn't in the datagrid, that's additional data needed for the page outside of the O'Reilly datagrid example.  It works fine.

Please, please, please, please help me out!!!

problem is in  event protected void gvRevealDetails_RowUpdating


                DataRow row = dt.Rows.Find(int.Parse(((TextBox)gvRevealDetails.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("txtID")).Text));

your id column might have datatype of integer. so try to convert string to integer.



protected void gvRevealDetails_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
        {
            DataTable dt = (DataTable)Session["GridViewDataTable"];

Great idea, and you're right, my id column is an int, but I still get the same error on the same line, which is the line you're looking at right now.
Can you please give detail of each column datatype ?

what is value in txtID field ?

Still error on same line ? if so print screen in debug mode and attach image ?

TRy to check value of txtID ?

            DataTable dt = (DataTable)Session["GridViewDataTable"]; 
            DataRow row = dt.Rows.Find(int.Parse(((TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("txtID")).Text.Trim()));
            row["name"] =  ((TextBox)gvRevealDetails.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("txtReportName")).Text;
            row["description"] =
                ((TextBox)gvRevealDetails.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("txtReportDescription")).Text;
            row["freq"] =

I'm going to go look at the link you posted now, but I wanted to post the screenshot.  I can't hover over txtID and get a value in debug mode, so I posted the error deriving from stepping through it to try.

now check what is value of text in debug mode.

 DataTable dt = (DataTable)Session["GridViewDataTable"]; 
 string text = ((TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("txtID")).Text.Trim();
            DataRow row = dt.Rows.Find(int.Parse(((TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("txtID")).Text.Trim()));
            row["name"] =  ((TextBox)gvRevealDetails.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("txtReportName")).Text;

I changed it from Row to RowIndex, then got this...  (It's on the FindControl method in the same two lines.)

I saw that and changed it a little bit ago.  No change on the result though.  I still get the object reference error.
DataRow row = dt.Rows.Find(int.Parse(e.OldValues["id"].ToString()));

Same error, same line.

Hello,

can you use RowCommand to update ?

just remove row_updating and try attached code in row_command.

Can't do that either.  I get the following error when rendering the page...

No overload for 'gvRevealDetails_RowCommand' matches delegate 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventHandler'
then just not use rowcommand event for update .

can you update in this method ? i tihkn primary key is missing .

if not....

Make Visible="true" for column id . See it is work or not.

 protected DataTable LoadData()
        {
            myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["conForms"].ConnectionString);
            myConnection.Open();
 
            sqlSelect = "select id, rid, name, description, freq, db, format from table2 where rid = " + qsID;
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlSelect, myConnection);
 
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            da.FillSchema(dt, SchemaType.Source);

That didn't work either, however you're correct, the id column is blank, so that's defintely the problem.
Avatar of Steve

ASKER

I just did a debug on the LoadData() constructor and stepped through it.  The id field is being read in, so we're losing it somewhere.
I made few change .

1. Remove row updating event. ( aspx and codebehind)

2. Attach id to command argument of LinkButton of Update

3. Add new code RowCommand to handle the update.

debug and test this.

I thought I saw the ID in there before.  It is there.  I had taken the databinder's out of the .aspx file for the ID column a few minutes ago.  I just put them back, and the ID's are showing up.  Still the same error...

Closer, but it looks like we're going to have to put the rowupdating event back in.  Here's what happened...

The GridView 'gvRevealDetails' fired event RowUpdating which wasn't handled.

PARTIAL SUCCESS!!!  I just tested the Add New and Delete functionality.  For the first time EVER, both are working!!!!  The Add New isn't autoincrementing the int identity in the database which I'll have to figure out, but i fyou type in a value it works!  It'll be 100% complete if we can just get the edit working!!
