I want to create a gridview in asp.net for adding purchased items to the invoice bill. i have add button in the footer row to add rows in the gridview. And i have save button outside the button, after adding all the purchased items inside the gridview i have to click the save button to save all the gridview rows into the DB. The biggest problem i have is, while entering the details the gridview columns will be having editable controls like textbox, checkbox and dropdownlist, after clicking the add button, all the controls has to be changed into non editable controls like label.. This is the task given to me and i couldnt able to do,, so please help me..

So what you need to do is convert your fields that you want different controls in to templated fields. You will edit your templates and add the controls you want. There are plenty of examples on the web to look at.

but in all the codings i found in web, they have all the controls in the footer itself. but in my case, i have only add btn in the footer.. And its very difficult for me to change editable control(txtbox, ddl, checkbox etc) to non editable controls(lbl).. so if you have a code, please send me.. i m really struggling...

Are you dynamically creating your gridview? Because if you are, then your problem can be easily solved.

Solution 1

In AddButton_Click() event try to assign gridview id enabled to false. ie., For example your gridview id is gridview1 then add the following code in AddButton_Click() event in .cs file. You could see all the editable controls are disabled as non-editable.

gridview1.Enabled = false;
