No Records within Detail Grid

[Kurt Kluth]

Have a page that displays some notes from our database and as it will display properly for a certain type of notes.  However it doesn't display for our Board Report notes where the databinding is done a bit differently.  Wondering if you could spot our problem and help us with solving this mystery.  It will load the Master level records but list "No child records to display".

The DetailView.jpg will show how the Board Report notes are to be displayed but NoRecordChildView.jpg is what it comes out to be.  How do we bind the detail grid?

Hi Kurt Kluth,

The detail tables are coming empty because the data is not bind properly. In the ParentTableRelation, you have set SubNoteID as the KeyField, make sure you set the value according to that. Can you correct your DataSource code as below and check if it helps.

ASPX:

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="_srcSubNotes" runat="server"  ConnectionString='<%$ ConnectionStrings:FMS_Conn %>' SelectCommand="sp_getFMSSubNotes" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
    <SelectParameters>
     <asp:SessionParameter Name="SubNoteID" SessionField="SubNoteID">
     </asp:SessionParameter>
    </SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Thanks,
Princy

Princy,

This did not help with our problem.

Keep in mind that this does work whenever the data of the main grid is bound declaratively. It only breaks when I change the data source in the code behind(during the Page PreRender event).

The new data source does return the needed columns and I have ran the sub notes query against those columns and it returns results. But it still displays no child records.

I have a feeling this is due to the time at which the data of the parent grid is bound(during Page PreRender) but I am not able to bind it any sooner than that because certain data will not be available until after the page load event.

Hi Ryan,

I am afraid binding the grid on PreRender event handler is too late in the page live cycle. I would recommend you to check out the following live example which demonstrates how to bind the grid programmatically.

Kostadin,

Thank you for the link. I was able to fix the detail table by using the detail table bind event and programmatically binding it. I was still able to bind the main table within the pre-render event.

Here is the code I used:

Private Sub Page_PreRender(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.PreRender
        _dateFollowUpAdd.MinDate = DateTime.Today.Date.AddDays(1)

        If Request("Section") = "FMS-Board" And clscommon.RecursiveFindControl(Page, "_hdnBoardRptID") IsNot Nothing Then
            oConn.Open()
            Dim ocmd As New SqlCommand("sp_seBoardRptFMSNotes", oConn)
            ocmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
            With ocmd.Parameters
                Dim hdnBoardRptID As HiddenField = CType((clscommon.RecursiveFindControl(Page, "_hdnBoardRptID")), HiddenField)
                .Add(New SqlParameter("@BoardRptID", hdnBoardRptID.Value))
            End With
            Dim dt As New DataTable
            dt.Load(ocmd.ExecuteReader)
            oConn.Close()
            _grdNotes.DataSourceID = Nothing
            _grdNotes.DataSource = dt
            _grdNotes.DataBind()


        End If
    End Sub

  Private Sub _grdNotes_DetailTableDataBind(sender As Object, e As GridDetailTableDataBindEventArgs) Handles _grdNotes.DetailTableDataBind
        'e.DetailTableView.DataSourceID = _srcSubNotes

        Dim item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.DetailTableView.ParentItem, GridDataItem)
        Dim noteID As HiddenField = DirectCast(item("AddComplete").FindControl("_hdnNoteIDAdd"), HiddenField)

       oConn.Open()

        Dim ocmd2 As New SqlCommand("sp_getFMSSubNotes", oConn)
        ocmd2.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
        With ocmd2.Parameters
            .Add(New SqlParameter("@SubNoteID", noteID.Value))
        End With
        Dim dt As New DataTable
        dt.Load(ocmd2.ExecuteReader)
        oConn.Close()
        e.DetailTableView.DataSource = Nothing
        e.DetailTableView.DataSource = dt

    End Sub
