ContentRating used in a datalist

ilearn · August 23rd, 2009, 04:31 PM

Hi All,

My english is not very good, I will try to explain as clear as i can.

I used a content rating control (http://imar.spaanjaars.com/QuickDocId.aspx?quickdoc=410) in a datalist (the control is used inside the itemtemplate).

Here is part of my aspx code:

Code:

<asp:DataListID="dlResto"DataKeyField="IdResto"OnItemCreated="datalisthandlers"RepeatColumns="1"RepeatDirection="Vertical"runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
 <td>
   <b><%#Eval("Nom")%></b>&nbsp;&nbsp;
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tdalign="right"valign="bottom">
  <isp:ContentRatingID="RestoRating"runat="server"     onrated="RestoRating_Rated"onrating="RestoRating_Rating"/>
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>

And here is the code of the function : datalisthandlers

Code:

    protected void datalisthandlers(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
    {
        //Rating Control Handler
        if((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
        {
            if(e.Item.FindControl("RestoRating") != null)
            {
                ContentRating RestoRat = new ContentRating();
                RestoRat = (ContentRating) (e.Item.FindControl("RestoRating"));
                int[] arValues;
                Functions fct = new Functions();
                arValues = fct.GetRate(int.Parse(dlResto.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex].ToString()));                RestoRat.ItemId = dlResto.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex];
                RestoRat.DataSource = arValues; 
            }             
        }
    }

The stars are correctly displayed, but when I try to rate an item by clicking on one star, the control disappears after postback, and the evens RestoRating_Rated and RestoRating_Rating are not fired.

Can anyone please help me fix these issues?

Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

As I suggested on my site, it probably has to do with your data binding. However, I don't see any of that code. Can you post the relevant parts of the code that triggers the data binding on the DataList so we can see when and where it's called?

Also, when you post code here, please use the Remove Text Formatting button on the toolbar. Color coded code does not - due to a nasty bug in this forum, end up right. Maybe you can edit your message and post it again?

Also, did you look at this?

Hi Imar,

Many thanks, everything works just fine, the problem was in my page_load function, I didn't allow binding if the page was posted back. When I remove this, the RestoRating_Rated and RestoRating_Rating function started to be fired and the databind function let the stars appear.

Thank you so much, and BTW your control is great, keep doing such great job.

Tks
