Summary

The ListView Server control combines the power of DataList and Repeater control. However, unlike those controls, with the ListView control you can enable users to edit, insert, delete data, paging and even sort the data. Using the <asp:DataPager> Web Server Control we could bring the paging functionality the ListView control. The main advantage of the ListView control is that we can display data according to our design using templates and styles.

As I mentioned earlier, there are many ways to code to achieve the data manipulation that we just saw. We could use a SQLDatasource control within the ASPX page and bind the ListView with no additional coding. Using the Visual Studio 2008 designer, we can easily configure the SQLDataSource so that it will automatically generate the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statement. But in most cases we will have to write stored procedures to perform the above operations. I hope that this article will help you out to work with the ListView control with ease.

".............s. Another key aspect for any edit operation is that we should know which row in the database should be updated".. For this purpose, we could store the primary key for each row in the ListView inside a hidden label control or even a hidden server control. "

Ever Heard of DataKey??

When I download and attempt to run the demo it doesn't work! Please try embedding an SDF file into your project rather than trying make users connect to a nonexistant database on their machine.

I spended quite a lot of hours and your codes are not working. I tried to make it work, but it just doesn't make sense and not working. I found it's better to put Updating, Inserting, and deleting on ItemCommand event. If you want to do all actions in code-behind, that's the best place you should embed the action codes. Your codes are too buggy and don't make sense in general. I hope anyone reading this as a beginner should avoid. Don't waste your time thinking you're doing something wrong. It's just the design of this codes are too nonsense

This is fixed.

Well, this is a design flaw. When we have zero rows, the link to add authors was disabled. This is due to fact that the link to add new authors was in the ItemTemplate. When we have zero rows, the rows inside item template will not get rendered. So, I added an EmptyDataTemplate. Inside the EmptyDataTemplate, I have included a link to add authors. By this way, when someone deletes all rows, the link inside the EmptyDataTemplate will get rendered.

It is a bug in my code. when the record count goes to zero, the link to "add new records" is not being displayed.

I need to fix this, so that the "Add new" link / button will always show up. so, when we have zero rows, we could add new row using the "Add New" functionality.

Will modify the code accordingly.

Greetings,
thank you for the useful article.
in the DataBoundList method you say : if (ddl != null)
but why you do not check if the listview in edit mode so if it is in edit mode so you get the reference to the dropdownlist??

Regards.
