How do you edit templates in a hierarchy view?

Hello,

Please could you be more specific about what you would like to achieve. For reference, the help topic on programatically binding to hierarchy data can be found here.

Look forward to hearing back from you

How do you type in the column and commit the information to the DB?

Thank you,

Chuck

Hello,

As long as the column allows editing, then you can click to edit a cell just as you would in the Master Template.
Commiting the data to the database will depend on how you are dealing with your databadse. E.g. Via an ORM, table adapters etc...

I commit it to the database on the cell end edit event using SQL update.

Thanks,

Hello KawaUser,

Thank you for writing.

I am still not sure that I understand your requirement. In case you want to update sql database, please find detailed description how to do that in the following msdn article.

If this does not help, please provide us with more details of your exact scenario and your goals.

I want to do something similar to this, but for the template.

How do I call the template column?

If DataGridReject.CurrentColumn.HeaderText = "ADMIN FEE" Then

                        Dim header = DataGridReject.CurrentColumn.Name

                        If e.Value Is Nothing Then

                        ElseIf e.Value.ToString = "1" Then

                            Dim updateString As String = "UPDATE REJECT_REPORT SET " + header + " = '1' WHERE REJECT_ID = '" + rejectID + "'"

                            conn.Open()

                            Dim comm = New SqlCommand(updateString, conn)
                            comm.ExecuteNonQuery()

                            conn.Close()

                        ElseIf e.Value.ToString = "0" Then

                            Dim boxValue As Integer = 0

                            Dim updateString As String = "UPDATE REJECT_REPORT SET " + header + " = '0' WHERE REJECT_ID = '" + rejectID + "'"

                            conn.Open()

                            Dim comm = New SqlCommand(updateString, conn)
                            comm.ExecuteNonQuery()

                            conn.Close()

                        End If

                    End If

ANSWER:

If DataGridReject.Templates(0).CurrentColumn.HeaderText = "MATERIAL_NO" Then

               Dim MATERIAL As String = ""

           End If

Yes, I have figured this problem out. I wanted to programatically edit the cells. This is the code inside the datagrid_cellendedit sub routine.

If DataGridReject.Templates(0).CurrentColumn.HeaderText = "MATERIAL_NO" Then

           Dim rejectID = DataGridReject.CurrentRow.Cells(2).Value.ToString
           Dim revision = DataGridReject.CurrentRow.Cells(3).Value.ToString

           Dim materialUpdateStr As String = "exec spRR_UPDATEPARTSLISTMATERIAL '" + rejectID + "', '" + revision + "', '" + e.Value.ToString + "'"

           conn.Open()

           Dim comm = New SqlCommand(materialUpdateStr, conn)
           comm.ExecuteNonQuery()

           conn.Close()

       End If
