GridView ASP 2.0I'm learning how to use the GridView control -- so far I like it, however,
I've run into a significant road block. All the data within the grid view is NOT editable. I have a couple of checkbox fields that I would like the user to be able to select and/or deselect and then process some action based on the selection of the checkbox. It appears that in order for me to do this, I have to provide an "edit" button for each row so the user must press the Edit button first before they can then check/uncheck an field in my gridview. This approach is too worky for my users to deal with, is there some more fluid way of having the entire gridview already in edit mode without using the Edit button? Thanks, Rob. Hello Rob,
The GridView allows you to define any customized layout by setting the AutoGenerateColumns="False†and using TemplateFields. So for your requirements you would write TemplateFields within the GridView that define only the EditItemTemplate, e.g, <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="MyDataSourceID" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <Columns> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="MyColumnHeader"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="txtCol1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Field1Name" %>' Width="70px"></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <%-- Comment: Write as many TemplateFields as there are columns to be displayed on your GridView --%> </asp:TemplateField> </Columns> </asp:GridView> Show quoteHide quote "Rob R.

ItemTemplates (instead of EditItemTemplates), e.g <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="MyDataSourceID" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <Columns> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="MyColumnHeader"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="txtCol1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Field1Name" %>' Width="70px"></asp:TextBox> </ItemTemplate> <%-- Comment: Write as many TemplateFields as there are columns to be displayed on your GridView --%> </asp:TemplateField> </Columns> </asp:GridView> Show quoteHide quote "Phillip Williams" wrote: > Hello Rob, > > The GridView allows you to define any customized layout by setting the > AutoGenerateColumns="False†and using TemplateFields. > > So for your requirements you would write TemplateFields within the GridView > that define only the EditItemTemplate, e.g, > > <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="MyDataSourceID" > AutoGenerateColumns="False"> > <Columns> > <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="MyColumnHeader"> > <EditItemTemplate> > <asp:TextBox ID="txtCol1" runat="server" Text='<%# > Bind("Field1Name" %>' > Width="70px"></asp:TextBox> > </EditItemTemplate> > <%-- Comment: Write as many TemplateFields as there are > columns to be displayed on your GridView --%> > </asp:TemplateField> > </Columns> > </asp:GridView> > > -- > HTH, > Phillip Williams > http://www.societopia.net > http://www.webswapp.com > > > "Rob R.

Thanks, yes I figured it out (ItemTemplate) and it permits binding to my datasource also via custom binding i.e. Bind("myFieldName"). I don't use DataSourceID since I don't define sqlDataSource control -- I do it all via code behind. Just need to make sure I can match up the checkbox selection with the correct row... Rob.
