Hi

I am new to asp.net. I am trying to modify a table dynamically. I need to add rows to the table and remove rows dynamically.

//Sample code

public partial class TableView : System.Web.UI.Page
{
   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       //suppose I am using a Table _table to display data
       populateTable();
   }
   protected void populateTable()
   {
       //populate table from database
   }
   void removeRow(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {//
   }
   void addNewRow(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {//gets called on the click event of a button.
   }
}

Problem is that the change is not reflected properly. Can anyone please guide me what I need to do to achieve my objective. Please do reply. I am after this for the last three days, and I couldn't find any web resource as to how to do this.

have u stored the table in any database? or is it just a table variable?

What I meant by table is the asp control, System.Web.UI.WebControl.Table

And System.Web.UI.WebControl.Table is populated from the database.

ok Roopesh,

You can iterate thru the rows collection and manipulate the rows

Table.Rows.Add
Table.Rows.Remove

I did the same. Logic for adding and deleting rows is written in two event handlers (onClick()). After adding one it is not adding any more. When the page loads next time, it shows the previous table(table.Rows.Count increases when I add one row, but count goes back to previous count once I try to add another row). The reason for this as I understood is "Dynamic controls have to be recreated every time the page load". How can I recreate the dynamically created rows when the page loads next time? Is it by somehow calling the addition/deletion event handlers in the page load event?

What I did is like the foll:
//Sample code
//In the .aspx page I have created <asp:Table id="table"....>


public partial class TableView : System.Web.UI.Page
{
   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       //suppose I am using a Table _table to display data
       populateTable();
   }
   protected void populateTable()
   {
       //populate table from database
       table.Rows.Add(new_row);
   }
   void removeRow(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {//
       table.Rows[index].Remove(a_row)
   }
   void addNewRow(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {//gets called on the click event of a button.
       table.Rows.Add(new_row);
   }
}

Dim dt As DataTable
Dim dr As DataRow
Dim i As Integer

        'create a DataTable
        dt = New DataTable
        dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("ABC", GetType(DateTime)))
        dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("XXX", GetType(Double)))
        dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("YYY", GetType(String)))
        dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("AAA", GetType(Integer)))
        dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("ZZZ", GetType(Boolean)))


        'Make some rows and put some sample data in
        For i = 1 To 5
            dr = dt.NewRow()
            dr(0) = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString
            dr(1) = 1.23 * (i + 1)
            dr(2) = "Item " + i.ToString()
            dr(3) = 1.34 * (i + 1)
            dr(4) = 1.27 * (i + 1)
            dr(5) = True
            'add the row to the datatable
            dt.Rows.Add(CheckBoxField)
            dt.Rows.Add(dr)
        Next

        'return a DataView to the DataTable
        CreateDataSource = New DataView(dt)

    End Function

i got ur problem. If you want to do this try to do the following,
Add one Table control in the form
When page loads create one DataTable and populate it with data from database. Assign this datatable to the datasource of TableControl.And save the datatable in session.
When you click add button,take datatable from session and add row to that and assign to Table Control and save in session again.
When you click remove button,take datatable from session and remove row from that and assign to Table Control and save in session again.

This way you can persist data in the table.

I think this solves ur problem. If u r creating controls dynamically then let me know,because you have to do more to persist data between postbacks.

I want to add and remove table rows at run time from a table server control.
This table further contains dynamically added controls mainly textboxes.
My problem is that while i 've been able to dynamically add rows to the table i 've been unsuccessfull at removing rows from the table.
I add rows by calling a createrow function from page_init and calling the same function in the addrow button click event.
In the dynamically added rows i 've added a delete button . on click of this button i try to remove rows. while the row gets removed from the table the state isn't persisted during postback. how should i remove rows from the table at runtime?
