Telerik: Why the $find Method is Not Working for RadGrid

The reason the $find method is not working for you is because the RadGrid loads on late binding. You need to get the RadGrid client object in the pageLoad() function like in the code below. After you get it you can set the global variables in the your Javascript so the other function will have access to the RadGrid object.

    <telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock2" runat="server">
<script type="text/javascript">
var radGrid = null;
var masterTableView = null;
var rgDataItems = null;



function pageLoad() {
radGrid = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>");
masterTableView = grid.get_masterTableView();
rgDataItems = masterTable.get_dataItems();
}
</script>
</telerik:RadCodeBlock>

ASP.NET: Simulate a Button Click in Code Behind














In this blog, I will go over how you can simulate a button click postback.  By using the RaisePostBackEvent()  method.  Many of you probably want to do this because you wanted to refresh your GridView by faking a postback.  As you will see the two methods presented on this blog does not perform an actual postback, even though it behaves like it does.


Mark Up

    <form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" />

</div>
</form>


Code Behind

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace WebApplication2
{
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.RaiseEvent(this, new EventArgs());
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
this.Button1_Click(this, new EventArgs());
}
}

protected void RaiseEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.RaisePostBackEvent(Button1, " ");
}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write("You've clicked " + Button1.Text + " ");

if (Page.IsPostBack)
{
Response.Write("this is a post back");
}
else if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
Response.Write("this is not a post back");
Response.Write("<br/>");
}
}
}
}


After you run the code you will find out that both ways of doing this does not cause a post back event.

C# Querying From An Oracle Database














In this blog we will go over how to query an Oracle database in ASP.NET using the System.Data.OracleClient data provider in C#.

Namespaces:

using System.Web.Configuration;
using System.Data.OracleClient;
using System.Data;

            string cs = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SomeConnectionString"].ConnectionString;

using (OracleConnection oc = new OracleConnection(cs))
{
oc.Open();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
OracleCommand ocmd = new OracleCommand("SELECT * FROM SOMETABLE", oc);
OracleDataAdapter oda = new OracleDataAdapter(ocmd);

oda.Fill(dt);

GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();

}

Oracle Date Format And Compare













Oracle dates have a different format than SQL Server dates. So to select a date for the Oracle database you have to have the date in the following format.  
string myDate = "10/9/2012 2:55:25 PM";

string sql = "SELET * FROM SomeTable WHERE SomeDateField=" +
"to_date('" + myDate + "','" + "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS " +
myDate.Substring(myDate.Length - 2) + "');";

ASP.NET GridView Control Part 1: Getting Started, Create GridView in Web Form

The GridView data grid control is probably the most popular and flexible data grid control in the ASP.NET arsenal.  In this tutorial we will create a new GridView data grid on a web form.

Here are the steps:

1. Click on the "Design" tab in main window of Visual Studio

Visual Studio Design Surface


2. Click on the "Toolbox" tab, then expand the "Data" node, then drag the "GridView" data control to the Design surface.  The Design Surface is the big window in the middle of Visual Studio.

Visual Studio drag GridView from Toolbox to design surface

3. Click on "Toolbox" tab again, this time drag the "SqlDataSource" control to the Design Surface

SqlDataSource in Toolbox

4. Click on the ">" button next to SqlDataSource1 control, then select "Configure Data Source"
5. Click on the "New Connection" button

Configure Data Source

 6. Select your "Server name", SQL Server should pick up your database server automatically if it's on a local machine, but if it doesn't type in (local) in the "Server name" field.


7. Click "OK"
8. A new connection has been defined in your web application

Connection string

9. Click "Next", leave the checkbox check for the option "Yes, save this connection as:", "NorthwindConnectionString"
10. Click "Next"
11. On the "Configure the Select Statement" window select "Specify a custom SQL statement or stored procedure"
Configure the Select Statement
 12. Click "Next"
13. Click on the "Query Builder" button"
 14. On the "Add Table" window select the "Categories" and "Products" table and then click "Add", then click "Close"
Add Table in Query Builder

15. In "Query Builder" the two tables and their relationships are displayed

Relationships between tables in Query Builder

16. The following into the SELECT statement window

SELECT        Products.ProductName, Products.UnitPrice, Categories.CategoryName, Categories.Description
FROM            Categories INNER JOIN
                         Products ON Categories.CategoryID = Products.CategoryID

Query Builder SELECT statement window

17. Click "OK"
18. Click "Next"
19. Click "Finish"

20. Click on the ">" button next to the GridView1 control, and for the "Choose Data Source" dropdown list chose "SqlDataSource1"

Choose a Data Source for SqlDataSource control

21. Right-click on the "Default.aspx" file then select "Set as Start Page"


22. Press F5 to run the page, the GridView will be displayed on the browser page.
