GridView

[rosoft]

Hi

I'm using a GridView to list data from a table in my database. On of the
fields is a URL and when I click a row in the GridView I want the page to
automaticly open that link. How do I write code to an event i the GridView
so that when I click a row the page opens up the new link in another window?

You are going to need a little Javascript

<script type ="text/javascript">
var win=null;

function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll,pos){


if(pos=="random"){LeftPosition=(screen.width)?Math.floor(Math.random()*(screen.width-w)):100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?Math.floor(Math.random()*((screen.height-h)-75)):100;}


if(pos=="center"){LeftPosition=(screen.width)?(screen.width-w)/2:100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?(screen.height-h)/2:100;}

else if((pos!="center" && pos!="random") ||
pos==null){LeftPosition=0;TopPosition=20}


settings='width='+w+',height='+h+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no';
win=window.open(mypage,myname,settings);}
// Put this in your onclick event

function PopUpWnd()
{
var pg = document.getElementById("id")

NewWindow("CurrencyPage.aspx","abc", 350, 360, "No", "center")
}

</script>


You wire it something like this

<input id="btnChgCurrency" runat="server" type="button" value="Change
Currency" onclick="PopUpWnd()" name="btnChgCurrency" />

Hi

<input id="btnChgCurrency" runat="server" type="button" value="Change
Currency" onclick="PopUpWnd()" name="btnChgCurrency" />

But I donät want a button I want the table (GridView) to display a html
link. I tried to enter html text into the database table but that only
showed the source code for the html link in the Grid View such as

<p><a href="www.url.com/tracl.mp3">A Track</a></p>

When I work with PHP I read data from a table and then create a table.
Couldn't I some how make a C# class that handled this. Read data from a
database into some sort of view and then read the view and create html code
that I then write to the page. Having to do all this in a Java Script? Then
I'm better of with a PHP page. I was told that C# can fix these things
easaly.

Is there any C# classes I can use to create backend modules for my homepage
on the server. Some class where I send for example <asp:Table ID="Table1"
runat="server">......</asp:Table>. And then pass Table1 as a parameter to an
object where the object fills the Table with data?

I just don't want to show the informatin in the database as it is since I
use it to build links depending on who's logged into the page.

The GridView control has a HyperLink field, which might be what you
are looking for. Just google GridView HyperLink.

As an added note, the HyperlinkField has a Target property (relates to the
HTML hyperlink target attribute), so you can easily get it to open in
another window

So you're saying the javascript I wrote becomes unnecessary?

 

[Angel]

You can do this

Dim cmd As New CommandField
cmd.EditText = "Select"
cmd.ButtonType = ButtonType.Link
cmd.ShowSelectButton = True
grid.Columns.Add(cmd)

or you can do it declaritive
or you can use the wizard

Lot's of choices

But I never link this command button to pop-up window as David is suggesting

 

[Angel]

David,

I went and did a little checking and could not find the Target property or
its use. Could you point us to an example or a link that talks about this

That's likely the case.

 

[Angel]

Thanks, you know I seen that page before and never understood it until now
when you brought it up.

That's a simple solution.

Thanks again!

Coul dyou give me a code example

My GridView is called gvTracks. My DataSourse is called sdsMP3Tracks.

Can you use only these two objects to open the mp3 file?

Well that's the static way. I need to do it dynamicly. The view inlcudes
several URLs and I wan tto seleft ont view on the GrodView (GV) and then
goto that url.

Imagine a table with lots of hyper links. You click one of them and the url
in the hyper link opens. That's what I want to do. As an example goto the
page at http://www.rosoft.se/. It includes lots of Hyperlinks that I would
like to store in a database. Fields stored would be ShowText and URL. Using
a GV just shows the data in the table as strings. How do I transform the
text in the GV to hyperliks as in the example on my homepage.

if you want them to do it on any click on any row

try doing this type of code on the rowdatabound method:

for ( int j = 0; j < e.Item.Cells.Count; j++)
{
e.Item.Cells[j].Attributes["onclick"] = " window.location='URL';";
}
