Hi, I want to use datagrid display book records. in that table hv an action column that enable user to reserve the book. i want to put the action column rightmost in table, but it always is the leftmost, how can I do that?

Thanks!

Irene

The grid is putting the action column you have defined first and putting the automatically generated columns after it. You need to explicitly define all the columns you wish to see in the grid inside of the <columns> node in the datagrid markup. Then you need to set the attribute "AutoGenerateColumns" to false.

Hi,

I can display the data grid already. but my data in the database is not displayed. I have created the connection to database, data adapter and fill dataset with the data. What caused that happen?

Thanks!

Irene

You don't need to use all that databinder eval stuff in codebehind. That syntax is for inline databinding syntax in the page markup. The syntax you have is incorrect:

Change this:
DataGridNo.Text = CStr(DataBinder.Eval(DsBook11, "Tables{Material_Table1].DefaultView.[0].seqNo"))
DataGridTitle.Text = CStr(DataBinder.Eval(DsBook11, "Tables{Material_Table1].DefaultView.[0].Title"))

To this:
DataGridNo.Text = DsBook11.Tables["Material_Table1"].DefaultView.[0].seqNo.ToString();
DataGridTitle.Text = DsBook11.Tables["Material_Table1"].DefaultView.[0].Title.ToString();

What are these controls? Are these labels or textboxes? I'm confused by your naming. The thread started with a question about the datagrid, but you seem to now be asking about some other control.

I use datagrid n dataset. now what i get is empty table without the data.

How can I declare the DataGridNo n DataGridTitle in code behind page?

I still don't understand. What are the DataGridNo and DataGridTitle controls?

You can assign values to those controls in the codebehind like I showed in my previous post.

i use datagrid. n the ID of it is DataGridBook, n it has 2 columns, 1 is No, another is Title. What I want to do is to bind the values in database to that 2 columns.

You need to set up your datagrid appropriately:

<asp:datagrid runat="server" id="DataGridBook">
   <columns>
      <asp:boundcolumn datafield="No" />
      <asp:boundcolumn datafield="Title" />
   </columns>
</asp:datagrid>

Then you can bind to it:

SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(DsBook11)
DataGridBook.DataSource = DsBook11
DataGridBook.DataBind()

You don't need to set up the column binding in the codebehind, that is done in the column definitions in the datagrid markup.

I try out ur suggestion. But now i getting following errors:

I declare the DsBook11 already, why have this error?

Thanks!

You need not write this in the html:
DataSource="<%# DsBook11 %>"

Just follow Peter's last post.
Then you can bind to it:

SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(DsBook11)
DataGridBook.DataSource = DsBook11
DataGridBook.DataBind()

You need to write the binding part in the codebehind
