Can't add TemplateField to Datagrid - html

I am trying to add a DropDownList into the DataGrid so the location column can be easily changed. I am getting an error with TemplateField, itemtemplate, label and DropDownList. I get the build error:
is not allowed within a
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridColumnCollection'.
<asp:DataGrid runat="server" CssClass="tblResults" OnItemDataBound="dgList_ItemCreated" AllowSorting="true" OnSortCommand="dgTrailer_Sort" ID="dgTrailers" DataKeyField="ID" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="TrailerOwner" HeaderText="Owner" SortExpression="TrailerOwner"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="TrailerMake" HeaderText="Trailer Make" SortExpression="TrailerMake"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Trailer Location">
<itemtemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblLocation" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Location") %>' Visible = "false" />
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlLocation" runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Year" HeaderText="Year" SortExpression="Year"></asp:BoundColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
TemplateField, itemtemplate, label and DropDownList all have green lines under them and which means its not a known element.

You should use TemplateColumn, when it comes to DataGrid as it is inherited from System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridColumn.
TemplateField is inherited from System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlField, which make sense with GridView.

How Listview Item Eval field does not updated in an updatePanel?

I have a list view to show products with prices. I put an updatePanel in ItemTemplate.
When I Click the button in contentTemplate, the Eval fields do not update, By definition the
update panel do a partial post back but it does not reflect database changes.
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="productPic" runat="server" Height="270" Width="202" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("ImageUrl") %>' />
<asp:Table ID="ColorTable" runat="server" EnableViewState="true"></asp:Table>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
<asp:Literal ID="LitProductId" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ProductId") %>' EnableViewState="true"></asp:Literal>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' Font-Size="8"
Font-Bold="False" Font-Names="tahoma" />
<br />
<asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Price","{0:0,0}") %>' Font-Size="8" Font-Bold="False" Font-Names="tahoma"
Font-Strikeout='<%# Eval("DiscountedPrice")!=DBNull.Value %>' />
<br />
<asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("DiscountedPrice","{0:0,0}") %>' Font-Size="10" Font-Bold="True" Font-Names="tahoma" ForeColor="Red"
Visible='<%# Eval("DiscountedPrice")!=DBNull.Value %>' />
<br />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<br />

I appreciate any help.
It's because you are dynamically adding them in. When you post back, it loses that state and if you aren't adding them back in at that point (i.e. saving them to viewstate and adding them back in on load), it no longer knows they exist.
I found the solution.
If you want to use update panel inside a listview, you should bind the data source in code - page load.
ListView1.DataSource = new ProductFacade().GetCat3ProductListSpec(cat3Id);
ListView1.DataBind();
When you use sqlDataSource attribute, the update panel does not function as you expect.

remove column from grdiview

i want to remove this column from gridview i try to add values in dropdownlist in grdiview but when i add it works fine but this column in black color appears...
how i remove it..
grdiview html
<asp:BoundField DataField="DocType" HeaderText="Document" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="DepType" HeaderText="Department" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="ApproveID" DataField="ApproveID"
></asp:BoundField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblCountry" runat="server" Text='<%#
Eval("ApproveID") %>' Visible = "false" />
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList4" runat="server"
class="vpb_dropdown">
</asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
First make sure AutoGenerateColumns="false" is set on your GridView, and then delete the lines
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="ApproveID" DataField="ApproveID"></asp:BoundField>
from your HTML. When you turn off AutoGenerateColumns, you will need to add each column manually.

GridView Column modification

I have bound my gridView with code behind which Contains 4 column but I want first column to be a linkbutton.
So I have added itemtemplate but now my grid contain 5 columns with two same columns, but I want only one column which is of linkbutton column.
This is my itemtemplate code
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="File No">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server"
CommandArgument='<%# Eval("File") %>' Text='<%# Eval("File") %>'
OnCommand="show" ></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
Code behind grid binding :
Bussiness_logic.GridView_Bind(GridView1, "GET_DATA");
public static void GridView_Bind(GridView Grid_Name,String Procdure_name)
{
SqlDataAdapter dap = new SqlDataAdapter(Procdure_name, GetConnection());
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
dap.Fill(ds);
Grid_Name.DataSource = ds;
Grid_Name.DataBind();
}
Your Getting five columns because you Set GridView AutoGenerateColumn to trueAND add an extra template column in grid view.So GridView generate columns for all columns that are present in your data set and add you extra column i.e your template column.
Now to solve this issue Set AutoGenerateColoumn Property of GridView To false. Define Your Column Like below..
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="File No">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("File") %>' Text='<%# Eval("File") %>' OnCommand="show" ></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="NameofSecondColumnInYourDateSet" HeaderText="Column2"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="NameofThirdColumnInYourDateSet" HeaderText="Column3"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="NameofFourthColumnInYourDateSet" HeaderText="Column4"/>
</Columns>

String TextBox1 text in a search parameter in SQL statement

I have the following Gridview which I am trying to pass a search parameter, to update the results based on that search -
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Search" />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Grid not refreshed yet."></asp:Label><br />
<asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text="(Grid Will Referesh after Every Second)"Font-Bold="true"></asp:Label>
<br /><br />
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyDbConn %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE BODYTEXT LIKE='"+TextBox1.text+"></asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True"
BackColor="Black" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" Font-Names="Arial Black"
Font-Size="Small" ForeColor="White" Height="650px" Width="930px">
</asp:GridView>
</ContentTemplate>
However I cant seem to get the SQL statement to accept the TextBox1 text that the user is entering, how can I resolve this?
You must do this in code behind.
SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE BODYTEXT LIKE='"+TextBox1.Text;
You can do this when clicking on the search button.
