DataGrid textbox

[Maziar Aflatoun]

Hi everyone,

I have this DataGrid that I bind to a DataTable. However, instead of
displaying the column 'Qty', I like to place it in a textbox and display the
value of Qty as the default value for the TextBox. Any suggestions?

<asp:datagrid id="DGShoppingCart" runat="server" Width="650"
AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="ProductName" HeaderText="Product"
HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="True" HeaderStyle-CssClass="normtext"
ItemStyle-CssClass="normtext"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Qty" HeaderText="Quantity"
HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="True" HeaderStyle-CssClass="normtext"
ItemStyle-CssClass="normtext"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:ButtonColumn ButtonType="PushButton" CommandName="Delete"
Text="Delete" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"></asp:ButtonColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid>

Thank you
Maz.

Hi,

use TemplateColumn.

<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtBox" runat="server"
Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Qty")%>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

Note single quotes with text property and I also types this top of my head
so check the syntax. You probably want also set column headings and
styles for this one too.

Dear Maziar,

You can use the TemplateColumn to do the same:-

<asp:datagrid id="DGShoppingCart" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="650">

<Columns>

<asp:TemplateColumn>

<ItemTemplate>

<%# (DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ProductName" ).ToString()) %>

<asp:TextBox ID="txtQty" Text='<%# (DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Qty" ).ToString())%>' Runat="Server" />

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateColumn>

</Columns>

</asp:datagrid>

hope it helps.






This will fetch the Qty from the database and assign it to the textbox.
