C# Gridview - controlling autogenerateeditbutton

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I am trying to make some changes to an app that a consultant started and am new to C#.

We're using a gridview to display data and the autogenerateeditbutton is set to true which works for most of the users. However, I do have some users that I need to be read-only.

Is there a way I can programmatically change the autogenerateeditbutton value depending on a flag I read in from my security database?

If not, is there another way to accomplish this without major re-programming?

Thanks in advance for any hints.

Sounds like you're asking an ASP.NET question.

First you need a way to decide which users have what rights - a permissions system. Then set your flag using a call to code behind, using the <% tags. Set the flag according to the user type. That's about it. If you're new to C#, and presumably new to ASP.NET, chances are you need to pay an experienced programmer to do the work, unless you're a quick study.

Thanks for the information. I do have a permissions table and am a pretty quick study. I've added on more logic to what the consultant started but hit this block. I'll search on samples of what you've suggested.

I do want it to affect the entire grid based on a security table so I will dig into your remarks and link and see if I can get it working.

Thanks so much!

Are you asking if you can turn autogenerateeditbutton on/off based on some value? If so, you need to undertand the change will affect the whole gridview, not certain rows only

if the grid has

<asp:detailsview autogenerateeditbutton="True|False" xmlns:asp="#unknown" />

defined then remove it, then call

gridvie.AutoGenerateEditButton(), preferably on your PageLoad() method

See here for more details[^]
