Grid View Filter With TextBox

Grid View Filter With TextBox/Grid View Filter With Passing Text

If you require filtering gridview according to the text passing to it,then here is a solution.
here we are passing a column value via TextBox which will sort the column accordingly.

ASPX. Page

CS Code

using System.Text.RegularExpressions; //Add Namespace

//Add This Code Inside You CS File

private string SearchString = "";
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
    public string HighlightText(string InputTxt)
    {
        string Search_Str = txtSearch.Text;
        // Setup the regular expression and add the Or operator.
        Regex RegExp = new Regex(Search_Str.Replace(" ", "|").Trim(), RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
        // Highlight keywords by calling the
        //delegate each time a keyword is found.
        return RegExp.Replace(InputTxt, new MatchEvaluator(ReplaceKeyWords));
    }

    public string ReplaceKeyWords(Match m)
    {
        return ("<span class=highlight>" + m.Value + "</span>");
    }
    protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
    {
        // Set the value of the SearchString so it gets
        SearchString = txtSearch.Text;
    }
    protected void btnClear_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
    {
        // Simple clean up text to return the Gridview to it's default state
        txtSearch.Text = "";
        SearchString = "";
        gvDetails.DataBind();
    }

So Result Of This Code Will give You Something Like This....

1)Your Record

Sorting Grid View In ASP.Net

Sorting Grid View Data In Just One Click On Header ASP.net

GridView control is a powerful data grid control that allows us to display the data in tabular format with sorting and pagination. It also allows us to manipulate the data as well. In below sample we are using GridView sorting functionality and sort the columns by just clicking the header name

ASPX Page:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" OnSorting="SortRecords" runat="server"

AllowSorting="True" CellPadding="4" DataKeyNames="AutoId" />

You may notice that on the .aspx page, we have specified OnSorting event (that fires SortRecords server side methods) and AllowSorting=true to the GridView. This will make the header of the GridView columns as link (In this case we have set AutoGenerateColumns=true to the GridView, so our GridView columns are automatically generated ). In case we are using BoundField or TemplateField, we can use SortExpression property to set the field name to sort on).

C# Page:

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

public partial class Exam_Cell_Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    string _connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnStr"].ConnectionString;
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
                if (!IsPostBack)
                {
                BindData();
                }
    }
    protected void SortRecords(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
    {
        string sortExpression = e.SortExpression;
        string direction = string.Empty;
        if (SortDirection == SortDirection.Ascending)
        {
            SortDirection = SortDirection.Descending;
            direction = " DESC";
        }
        else
        {
            SortDirection = SortDirection.Ascending;
            direction = " ASC";
        }
        DataTable table = this.GetData();
        table.DefaultView.Sort = sortExpression + direction;
        GridView1.DataSource = table;
        GridView1.DataBind();
    }

    private void BindData()
    {
    SqlCommand cmd=new SqlCommand...............
    SqlDataAdapter adp=new ........
    DataSet ds=new Dataset;
    adp.Fill(ds);
    GridView1.DataSource = ds;
    GridView1.DataBind();
    Session["ssst"]=ds;
    }

    public SortDirection SortDirection
    {
        get
        {
            if (ViewState["SortDirection"] == null)
            {
                ViewState["SortDirection"] = SortDirection.Ascending;
            }
            return (SortDirection)ViewState["SortDirection"];
        }
        set
        {
            ViewState["SortDirection"] = value;
        }
    }
    private DataTable GetData()
    {
       DataTable table = new DataTable();
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        ds = (DataSet)Session["ssst"];
        table = ds.Tables[0];
        // fire Fill method to fetch the data and fill into DataTable
        return table;
    }
}

Conclusion:

When any column of the GridView is clicked, the SortRecords server side method executes that first saves the sort expression and direction (Ascending or Descending order) in the ViewState based on the previous order selected. We have a SortDirection property that saves the current sort direction in the ViewState and based on that the direction is set as ASC or DESC. As the DataSource of this GridView is DataTable so we have used Sort method of its view and set the sort expression. This will sort the rows of the DataTable. After sorting, the GridView data source has been set and the DataBind method has been called. My page output looks below that is sorted by FirstName column.

Crystal Reports : Using a specific Group Sort Order

Changing Sort Order of Groups in Crystal Reports

Problem: Membership Invoices are grouped on Finishes , but we wish the invoices output in CalculateNo order.
By default, Crystal sorts on the grouped field.Then What to do?

IF you have to make your record group by a field(Which by default happen when you create group)

To Sort In In Different Field order you must think your REPORT like this

Group Header #1

Group Header #2

Details Section

Group Footer #2

Group Footer #1

For this you have to first create a group then create another group which will look like this...

in your FIELD EXPLORER

and below one in GROUP EXPERT

Means Group #2 (eg. finish here) Is Under Group #1 (eg. cal_id here) So First data will SORT IN ORDER BY Group #1 then SORT IN GROUP BY Group #2

Hope It Will Help You

1.Code Behind Approch(C#)_____________________
1.Put this function on code behind

public static string Limit(object Desc, int length)
{
    StringBuilder strDesc = new StringBuilder();
    strDesc.Insert(0, Desc.ToString());

    if (strDesc.Length > length)

    else return strDesc.ToString();
}

Javascript Value To Asp.net Page

Accessing HTML control/Javascript Function Value In Asp.net Page

Some time situation comes where some Javascript effect/jquery or css make work on html control but not in .net control.
then what to do?Here is the solution to make html control interaction with asp.net control.So that there value can easily access by your asp.net control.

In Normal Cases

Just Make Input Text(html control) runat="server".

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>

Now If You Want To transffer Text1 Value To Label1 Just Do This In Your C# Code(In Any Event)

Label1.Text = Text1.Value;

But SomeTime We Have Fuctions Where We Have Value In Cloud And We Have To Catch Then On Fly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Here We Start...

Let say you've a html textbox with name txtbox and it has some value...so first thing is we have to save its value to a variable name it C.So that we are sure that the txtbox value is now in a variable and we can pass it to any one.

Next thing is ASP.NET has a control name hiddenControl ,just drag it in your design Page(Because Its Behave As A Mediator Between Html & .Net Control Easily) And finaly.just put that C value in hiddencontrol1

html Control----->var C----------->HiddenControl----->Now Value Is In Your ASP Page!

In HTML

For An Instance Lets Say You Are Firing An Client Side Event(javascript function) Like Below....

<html>

function yourown()

{

var C=document.getElementById("txtbox").value;

document.getElementById('<%=HiddenField1.ClientID%>').value=C;

return true;

}
</script>

</html>

In C#

Now Understand The Below Code Where We Are Storing final Value Under HiddenField1 To A string In C# Page

String S=HiddenField1.Value;

Response.Write(S);//Show On Screen

//OR

Label1.Text=S; //Show On Label
