This is the code behind for the add to cart link button

Protected Sub GVAddToCart_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        If User.Identity.Name = "" Then
            MsgBox("You need to login first before adding anything to the cart!", , "")
            Response.Redirect("~/login.aspx", True)
            Exit Sub
        End If

        Dim sCart = New cart
        Dim itemName, GVPrice, offer As Label
        Dim userID, buyNo, itemID As String

        itemID = Request.QueryString("itemID")
        itemName = CType(ListView1.Items(0).FindControl("itemName"), Label)
        userID = User.Identity.Name

        Dim index As Integer = GridView1.EditIndex
        GVPrice = CType(GridView1.Rows(index).FindControl("price"), Label)
        GVPrice.Text = CType(GVPrice.Text, Integer)
        offer = CType(GridView1.Rows(index).FindControl("offer"), Label)

        If sCart.CheckIfItemPresent(userID, itemID, GVPrice.Text, offer.Text) = True Then
            Exit Sub
        End If

        buyNo = sCart.findLatestBuyNo(userID)
        Session("buyNo") = buyNo

        Session("buyNo") = sCart.AddToCart(itemID, itemName.Text, GVPrice.Text, offer.Text, buyNo, userID)
    End Sub

So what I want to do is to remove the Step 1..how can i do this?

If i remove the more link..it stops working…please help me.

I have to click on the more link to to get the Add to cart link…I want to add an item to the cart in one click..with what i have now …I need two clicks.

When I click on more it goes to edit mode..then when I click on add to cart(which is in edit template)..it takes the price and offer values from the edit template..if i move the “Add To Cart” button into the ItemTemplate…it cant access the offer and price values. If i move the “Add To Cart” button into the ItemTemplate how will I know which row is being clicked?

Answer 1

By your description “Remove The Step 1”, it sounds like you want that link/button field shown as Add To Cart all the time.

Suggest creating a ButtonField instead of your ItemTemplates and EditItemTemplates. It appears you don’t need editing capability, but rather just a way to access those properties on the row.

 <asp:GridView OnRowCommand="GridView_RowCommand">

     <asp:ButtonField buttontype="Link" 
                      commandname="Add" 
                      text="Add to Cart"/>

      <asp:BoundField datafield="itemName" headertext="Item"/>
      <asp:BoundField datafield="itemPrice" headertext="Your Price"/>
      <asp:BoundField datafield="shopName" headertext="Shop Name"/>
      ..... etc.

Your code-behind would need to be changed like so:

  Sub GridView_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewCommandEventArgs)

    If e.CommandName = "Add" Then      
      Dim index As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument)
      Dim row As GridViewRow = GridView1.Rows(index)

      Dim itemName As String = Server.HtmlDecode(row.Cells(1).Text) 
      Dim itemPrice As String = Server.HtmlDecode(row.Cells(2).Text) 
      '...... etc
      'All required business logic to add to cart.
    End If

  End Sub
