What I have been working on for the past three days to me seems simple but I am just not able to resolve or understand the problem. Here is what I am attempting to do and what I have tried that is not working. I have a page "admn-venuelist.aspx that has
a GridView with a SELECT link. The select link when clicked on takes the user to a URL passing the record ID (Int) to the receiving page "Admn-VenueEdit.aspx. The link is passed by a code behind page "Admn-venuelist.aspx" Here is that code and it works.
Private Sub GridView1_RowCommand(sender As Object, e As GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCommand
Label2.Text = e.CommandArgument
Response.Redirect("~/admn-VenueEdit.aspx?VenueID=" + e.CommandArgument)
End Sub
So now on the receiving page I have put the following code in the code behind page attempting to collect the ID (Int) from the sending page and holding that in a variable to be used in my query string. Here is the code on the receiving page.
Partial Class Admn_VenueEdit
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Private Sub SqlDataSource1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles SqlDataSource1.Load
Dim QueryID As String
QueryID = CInt(Int(Request.QueryString("VenueID")))
End Sub
End Class
Ok, now I should have the selected record ID from the sending page and it should be stored in the variable QueryID and converted to an Integer. I have confirmed that the ID is passing ok as I can send the Variable QueryID to a message box and the record
ID displays correctly.
So here is the problem I am unable to figure out a proper methodology of inserting the variable into a SelectCommand String. Here is the code that is not working.
As you can see I tried to put the variable into a QueryStringParameter but l run into the same problem as I do if I try to insert it directly into the SelectCommand String. I have also tried to insert directly the Request.QueryString("VenueID") but that
also failed. It would seem reasonable that you would be able to add Variables in a QueryStringParameter but I am not understanding how to or what the proper syntax is. If I remove the @QueryField and insert "4" for record ID number 4 it works perfectly.
So that line is correct. My ultimate goal is to display the record details in asp:textboxes that the record can be edited and then updated. So far I have been able to set up an Add Record Page, List Records page, and Edit record in a GridView. My only part
left is the ability to edit a record details in a WebForm from a selection from a gridveiw. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I think this will help others wishing to create a Webform Edit Record page. Thank you
Thank you. What was not obvious to me and difficult to find documentation was that QueryStringField="VenueID" picks up the variable that is passed in the URL. Now that I understand that it is easy. But getting my head wrapped around that was most difficult.
I do have another question. Is there a way to pass a variable from code into the QueryStringField or does it only pick up the variable from the URL? But you nailed the answer to my question and you educated me. Thank you for that.
