Question

private void BindGridToppings()
    {

    }

here’s the gridview from the asp page

<asp:GridView ID="gridv" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" EnableModelValidation="true" OnRowDataBound="Pizzas_RowBound">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Edit">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:ImageButton ImageUrl="~/images/edit.png" ID="btnEditPizza" runat="server" RowIndex='<%# Container.DisplayIndex %>' onClick="Pizzas_RowEditing" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Delete">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:ImageButton ImageUrl="~/images/del.png" ID="btnDeletePizza" runat="server" RowIndex='<%# Container.DisplayIndex %>' OnClick="Pizzas_RowDeleting" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:BoundField  DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Pizza ID" >
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="lblID" runat="server" Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ID").ToString() %>'></asp:Label>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Crust">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="lblCrust" runat="server" Text='<%#GetNameByLookUpID(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Crust").ToString()) %>'>            </asp:Label>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Cheese">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="lblCheese" runat="server" Text='<%#GetNameByLookUpID(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem ,"Cheese").ToString()) %>'></asp:Label>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" SortExpression="Description" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="Cost" HeaderText="Cost" SortExpression="Cost" DataFormatString="{0:C}" />
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Toppings">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Repeater ID="rptList" Runat="server">                            
                </asp:Repeater>
            </ItemTemplate>                
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>                
</asp:GridView>

SQL and SubSonic are used as the backend, I only started programming with a database two weeks ago. So accessing it is still new to me.

Either my DB.Where…… call was incorrectly formatted in the BindGridToppings function as the complimer told me. Or A subsonic query is not a class that can be interated, as my compiler told me when I tried a foreach loop and .items.add

Any advice on how to bind this repeater would be lovely.

Thanks, Macaire Bell

Answer 1

found a solution.

    protected void Pizzas_RowBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            int pizzaID = Convert.ToInt32(((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblID")).Text);
            BulletedList bltTopping = ((BulletedList)e.Row.FindControl("bltTopping"));
            ToppingsCollection toppings = ToppingsMembers.RetriveByPizzaID(pizzaID);
            bltTopping.Items.Clear();
            foreach (Toppings topping in toppings)
            {
            bltTopping.Items.Add(new ListItem(GetNameByLookUpID(topping.ToppingID.ToString())));
        }
    }
}

with

            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Toppings">
                <ItemTemplate>                
                    <asp:BulletedList ID="bltTopping" Runat="server">                            
                    </asp:BulletedList>
                </ItemTemplate>                
            </asp:TemplateField>

in the front

Thank you for you’re help though it led me to my answer!
