I'm moving an old website that contains an <asp:datagrid> and I'm trying to place it inside a Dialog. It is possible to place the datagrid inside a Dialog box? If so, why is not showing up. I may be able to use an EO.Grid but I just wnat to know if this is possible or if any have had this experience before.

Thanks in advance.

Here, I put the Grid inside the content template of the Dialog1 like this;

<ContentTemplate>
<div id="LiveDiv" style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; font-family:Verdana; color:Black;">
<eo:Grid ID="Grid1" runat="server" BorderColor="#C7D1DF" BorderWidth="1px"
ColumnHeaderAscImage="00050303"
ColumnHeaderDescImage="00050304"
ColumnHeaderDividerImage="00050302" FixedColumnCount="1"
Font-Bold="False" Font-Italic="False" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Overline="False"
Font-Size="9pt" Font-Strikeout="False" Font-Underline="False"
GridLineColor="199, 209, 223" GridLines="Both" Height="400px"
ItemHeight="19" Width="100%">
<ItemStyles>
<eo:GridItemStyleSet>
<ItemStyle CssText="background-color: white" />
<CellStyle CssText="padding-left:8px;padding-top:2px; color:#336699;" />
<SelectedStyle CssText="background-image: url(00050207);
background-repeat: repeat-x" />
<AlternatingItemStyle CssText="background-color:info;" />
<ItemHoverStyle CssText="background-image: url(00050206);
background-repeat: repeat-x" />
</eo:GridItemStyleSet>
</ItemStyles>
<FooterStyle CssText="padding-bottom:4px;padding-left:4px;
padding-right:4px;padding-top:4px;" />
<Columns>
<eo:StaticColumn HeaderText="Full Name" DataField="FullName">
</eo:StaticColumn>
<eo:StaticColumn HeaderText="Loan #" DataField="Loan">
</eo:StaticColumn>
<eo:StaticColumn HeaderText="Device ID" DataField="Codigo">
</eo:StaticColumn>
</Columns>
<ColumnHeaderStyle CssText="background-image:url('00050301');
padding-left:8px;padding-top:2px;font-weight: bold;color:white;" />
</eo:Grid>
</div>
</ContentTemplate>

This is my code behind... But I get Object not set to reference of an object... I can't reference the Grid from my Codebehind page.... Am I missing somethin else????

private void BindLive()
{
try
{
string sql = "SP_DEVICELISTLIV_ADMIN '%%', 0";
BDados bd = ((BDados)Session["bd"]);
bd.CommandText = sql;
Grid1.DataSource = bd.ExecuteReader();
Grid1.DataBind();
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
lblComandoExec.Text = "Error: " + exc.Message;
}
}

Thanks in advance...

Thanks...

Hi,

The easiest way for you to work around this is to get the event handler to work outside of the dialog and then move the Grid inside the dialog. You may need to modify the designer generated code after you moved the Grid inside the dialog, specifically, if you see some code like this:

Grid1.OnItemCommand += ......

You will replace Grid1 according to our previous reply. Once you replace that, move it outside of Page_Init so that it no longer interfers with the designer.

The basic rule is still the same: You can no longer reference "Grid1" directly.

If you continue to have problem on this issue, you may wish to seek help from other resource. We do view this as a generic ASP.NET programming issue that is technically out of the scope of our support.

Thanks!
