I have a data grid that gets data dynamically from a stored proc. depending on the selection in drop down the grid should update with relevant data. the data part is working but the headers wont change when i change my selection. how can i achieve this? and also i want to hide a column on this dynamic grid.
here is the code in aspx
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged"> <asp:ListItem>Select Entity</asp:ListItem> </asp:DropDownList> <asp:Label runat="server" ID="EntityName"></asp:Label> <ig:WebScriptManager ID="WebScriptManager1" runat="server"></ig:WebScriptManager> <ig:WebDataGrid ID="EntityGrid" runat="server" Width="100%" Height="50%" StyleSetName="Claymation" > <Columns> </Columns> <Behaviors> <ig:Sorting> </ig:Sorting> </Behaviors> <ClientEvents Click="NavigateOnClick" /> </ig:WebDataGrid>
and code behind
protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.EntityGrid.DataSource = null; this.EntityGrid.DataBind(); EntityName.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text; string entity = "t_" + DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text; String strConnString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["LiveLeaseConnectionString"].ConnectionString; SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("p_DataList_ByRegardingObject", con); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RegardingObjectName", entity); SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); DataSet ds = new DataSet();da.Fill(ds);this.EntityGrid.DataSource = ds; this.EntityGrid.DataBind();
Hello Jahnavi,
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions regarding this matter.
Hi Jahnavi,
You have to call the following statement before assigning the new data source to the grid.
this.EntityGrid.ClearDataSource();
I would recommend you use client side column hiding, because the grid columns are created at a later moment and you don't have access to them on the server.
I have attached a sample web site that demonstrates both column hiding and setting different data sources with different columns. Please, feel free to ask for some additional information if needed. I hope this solution helps.
Thanks,
