ListView Problems

Marcia G Akins — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:20:55 GMT

Hi All.

This should be dead simple - I have a BO called boAllPeople with a data access method called GetAllPeople():

public void GetAllPeople()

{

SqlCommand loCommand = new SqlCommand();

loCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

loCommand.CommandText = "prcListAllPeople";

this.FillDataTable(loCommand);

}

Here is the code in prcListAllPeople:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[prcListAllPeople]

BEGIN TRY

DECLARE @RetVal INT

SET @RetVal = 1

SELECT first_nme, last_nme, contact_dtl, people_id

FROM dbo.vw_AllPeople

ORDER BY last_nme, First_nme

END TRY

BEGIN CATCH

/* Get the details of the error*/

EXEC prcLogError

SET @RetVal = -1

END CATCH

IF @RetVal < 0

BEGIN

DECLARE @ErrText VARCHAR(1000)

SET @ErrText = 'Unable to Retrieve People List'

RAISERROR( @ErrText, 16, 1 )

END

RETURN @RetVal

There are no records in my error_log table.

This is how my listview is configured

Columns collection has 3 columns: 1 for first name, last name and primary phone.

PopulationDataSource = boAllPeople.GetAllPeople()

Display fields are

{0} - last_nme

{1} - first_nme

{2} - contact_dtl

Tag is people_id

Columns are the same as what is in the columns collection and population type is formatted string.

PopulateOnFormLoad = FormLoad

I have verified that the view does have a record in it. However, when my form comes up, the list view contains the column headings in the first row where the single record in the view should be.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Inherited UI is for DevExpress controls. If you are not using DevExpress then you do not need to build this assembly. Otherwise, you need to change the references of this project to match your current DevExpress version.

Next, get out of Visual Studio, go back in. You should now be able to step into the SF source. Let me know if that doesn't get you going.

I couldn't build Inherited UI - I got 103 errors and 11 warnings. Got out of VS and went back in - still cannot step through framework code :(

To step through the framework code, simply open up the source code and build it in debug mode.

When I try to Rebuild Inherited UI I get 102 errors and 11 warnings.

No problem. Glad it helped :)

Thanks. Yer a peach!

To step through the framework code, simply open up the source code and build it in debug mode. The AfterBuild.bat should move these assemblies into the GAC for you (but you can double check if you do not see it in the Output window).

Hi Charles.

Thanks for trying to help me - I just fidured out what the peoblem was - it was the loose nut behind the keyboard having a senior moment. I can't even tell you what I did because it was so freaking stupid that I would be embarrassed to death :blush:

Now if I could just figure out how to step through the framework code again all would be well :)

Hi Charles.

At least this time something new happened. I got an error:

ArgumentException

Anyway, I'd check the listpopulating handler and the lv.requery()

(the lv for the code I posted has a PopulationDataSourceSetting = CopyDataFrom(Businesslayer,BusinessCloneDataType)

HTH

As I said, I tried that already and still no joy :(

Any ideas about what I need to do in order to step though the framewwwork code. I appear to have lost that ability after upgrading.

The part that confused me was realizing the listview is not bound to the bo currentview but rather has its own internal data store. So, if you load data in the BO, then yoiu need to requery the LV - and that means handling the listpopulating event which needs to know the BO and the method (usually cloning/copying from bo) for getting data from bo to LV.

Hi to Andy. when you get time check out my thing under User Contributed samples re passing in datatable as a param to a sproc - I bet you and Andy will have some useful insights into that )

After filling the BO, call the listview.requery() and that should do it.

I changed the PopulateOnFormLoad property to Manual and added your code and still no joy. If I could just step through the framework code I know I would be able to figure this out :w00t:

Hi Charles

I set the ListView's PopulateOnLoad property to FormLoad. The documentation says that this automagically populates the list when the form loads. I have another ListView used in a different project set up exacrly the same way and it works fine. Just for grin and giggles, I tried substituting a ListBox - no joy - same behavior.

One of my problems is that ever since I upgraded to version 1.0.7.1, I can no longer step throught he framework source code, so I am having even bigger problems trying to figure out what is wrong. If I could get that problem resolved, I could probabaly figure this one out too :(

If you are sure the BO has a record in it, you probably are not handling the listpopulating event of the listview - or not requerying it after filling the BO (this was a hard one for me to wrap my brain around)

[codesnippet] Private Sub slvpdfs_ListPopulating(ByVal e As MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.ListPopulatingEventArgs) Handles slvPDFs.ListPopulating
e.Parameters(0).Value = Me.StaticPDFsBO1
e.Parameters(1).Value = MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessCloneDataType.ClearAndFillFromCompleteTable
End Sub[/codesnippet]

After filling the BO, call the listview.requery() and that should do it.
