We discussed about inserting, updating and deleting data from gridview, using sqldatasource control in Part 23. In Part 24, we discussed about achievieng the same, using ObjectDataSource control. It is also possible to perform insert, update and delete on gridview, without using datasource controls at all, and that’s what we will discuss in this video. Please watch Part 23 and Part 24, before proceeding with this video. We will be modifying the example, that we used in Part 24.

1. As we don’t want to use datasource controls. Please delete “ObjectDataSource1″ control from the webform.

2. Delete DataSourceID=”ObjectDataSource1” from GridView1. This should remove the dependency of GridVIew1 on ObjectDataSource1 control.

3. From the code behind file, delete lbInsert_Click() event handler method.

4. In the “FooterTemplate” of “EmployeeId” TemplateField, please delete OnClick=”lbInsert_Click”, as we no longer have this event handler method.

5. Delete “CommandField” column from GridView1

6. Now, include a template field in the place of CommandField. This template field is used to display Edit, Update, Cancel and Delete link buttons. We don’t want delete and cancel buttons to cause validation, so set CausesValidaion property of these buttons to false.

7. Copy and paste the following private method. This method binds employee data with gridview1 control.
private void BindGridViewData()
{
GridView1.DataSource = EmployeeDataAccessLayer.GetAllEmployees();
GridView1.DataBind();
}

8. Call BindGridViewData() in Page_Load() event.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindGridViewData();
}
}

7. Finally generate GridView1_RowCommand() event handler method. Copy and Paste the following code.
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == “EditRow”)
{
int rowIndex = ((GridViewRow)((LinkButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer).RowIndex;
GridView1.EditIndex = rowIndex;
BindGridViewData();
}
else if (e.CommandName == “DeleteRow”)
{
EmployeeDataAccessLayer.DeleteEmployee(Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument));
BindGridViewData();
}
else if (e.CommandName == “CancelUpdate”)
{
GridView1.EditIndex = -1;
BindGridViewData();
}
else if (e.CommandName == “UpdateRow”)
{
int rowIndex = ((GridViewRow)((LinkButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer).RowIndex;

int employeeId = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
string name = ((TextBox)GridView1.Rows[rowIndex].FindControl(“TextBox1”)).Text;
string gender = ((DropDownList)GridView1.Rows[rowIndex].FindControl(“DropDownList1”)).SelectedValue;
string city = ((TextBox)GridView1.Rows[rowIndex].FindControl(“TextBox3”)).Text;

EmployeeDataAccessLayer.UpdateEmployee(employeeId, name, gender, city);

GridView1.EditIndex = -1;
BindGridViewData();
}
else if (e.CommandName == “InsertRow”)
{
string name = ((TextBox)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl(“txtName”)).Text;
string gender = ((DropDownList)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl(“ddlGender”)).SelectedValue;
string city = ((TextBox)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl(“txtCity”)).Text;

EmployeeDataAccessLayer.InsertEmployee(name, gender, city);

BindGridViewData();
}
}

8. If you want to show a confirmation dialog box, before a row is deleted, include javascript confirm() function, using “OnClientClick” attribute of LinkButton “lbDelete”.
