count total records from another table related in datalist
i have 2 tables, one is a_category and one is article, a_category.id = article.a_categoryid
article table contains article based on a_category table.
if article eg. c# contains 1 post, in the datalist for the <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.
it will show 1 post in it.
article table contains article based on a_category table.

was thinking if works this method
code-behind
-----------
protected void dlarticle_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||
e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
Label _lblid = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblid");
if (_lblid.Text != String.Empty)
{
using (SqlConnection sqlconn = new SqlConnection(strconnstring))
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
string strSQL = "Select COUNT(*) as countacid from article WHERE a_categoryid = " + Convert.ToInt32(_lblid.Text);
SqlDataAdapter adpt = new SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, sqlconn);
adpt.Fill(dt);
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
// Display countacid in <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "countacid")%>
}
}
}
}
}
aspx
----
<div style="padding-left:150px">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "countacid")%> </div>

it work that way,
but unfortunately, every row's total show (eg. 1) even if that current row is 0 or NULL.

Try check each returned categoryid(_lblid.Text), it should give the total row respectively.

not quite understand :/
the id is getting from different id from each row right?
<asp:Label ID="lblid" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.

now got it,
using (SqlConnection sqlconn = new SqlConnection(strconnstring))
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
string strSQL = "Select COUNT(*) as countacid from article WHERE a_categoryid = " + Convert.ToInt32(_lblid.Text);
SqlDataAdapter adpt = new SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, sqlconn);
adpt.Fill(dt);
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
Label _lblTotalRec = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblTotal");//assign total record to a label called - lblTotal
_lblTotalRec.Text = dt.Rows[0]["countacid"].ToString();//display total record by category id
}
}
So, what is your exact problem? If just need to output the total records of datalist, you can try DatalistName.Rows.Count.
