Cant View ASP.NET Controls

[daveonion]

Hi,

I have created an ASP.Net page and inserted a gridview control however when I run the webpage in debug I can see the other controls but not the gridview control. Can anybody help.

Thanks in advance for any information

you need to post the relevant code.

Hi Jason, see below.

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>

</div>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataSourceID="CT">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField=field1" HeaderText="MPI" SortExpression="field1" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="TestDateTime" HeaderText="TestDateTime"
SortExpression="TestDateTime" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="TestPerformedID" HeaderText="TestPerformedID"
SortExpression="TestPerformedID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="DateTimeEntered" HeaderText="DateTimeEntered"
SortExpression="DateTimeEntered" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" InsertVisible="False"
ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="ID" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="CT" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CTWConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [table1] ORDER BY [DateTimeEntered]">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
</form>

I havent yet done anything to the gridview, apart from placed it on the page and selected a datasource, thanks

You have autogeneratecolumns = false, try setting it to true

don't use SqlDataSource or any other data source controls. when you run into errors or issues, you cannot troubleshoot them.

Hi,

I have changed the autogenerate columns property to true but still no joy, I cant actually see anything on the page, it is just blank.

Is there a setting i need in my browser or somewhere else to enable the usage of asp.net controls, thanks

 

[jbenson001]

Then you are proably not getting data back from your query. Like Jason says, the datasource controls are not debugable.

Hi erm, what i can say i had no records in the table .

I've now populated the table and can see it.

Sorry for the time wasting

thanks

I'm not 100% sure that your connection string will be pulling through correctly - try hard coding it and see if that works as a starter.
