Search in Gridview
Some times we need search the inner details of a gridview. For this requirement we can use this functionality.

General Edit operations with Gridview.
This is very common operation. But really useful when we have few columns

Showing Image in gridview.
Some times we have to show Images inside gridview which are placed in one folder in server.

 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Image">

           <ItemTemplate>

            <img src="Images/<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Mobile")%>"

            width="200px"

            height="200px" />

           </ItemTemplate>

          </asp:TemplateField>

Showing Image in gridview from Databas
If the Images are stored in database, then we have to use Generic handler, by using this we can retrive the Images from database. You can find the source in download.

  <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Image">

           <ItemTemplate>

            <asp:Image ID="imgproduct" runat="server" Width="100px" Height="100px"

            ImageUrl='<%# "Product.ashx?pid="+ Eval("PID") %>'  />

           </ItemTemplate>

          </asp:TemplateField>

Gridview with checkboxes

Modalpopup with Gridview
In gridview we can show the Ajax Modalpopup, when user clicks on button which placed inside a gridview.

  if (e.CommandName == "view")

        {

            string idval = e.CommandArgument.ToString();

            DataSet ds = (DataSet)Session["dbsample"];

            DataRow[] gvw = ds.Tables[0].Select("ID = '" + idval + "'");

            if (gvw.Length > 0)

            {

                txtname.Text = gvw[0]["Name"].ToString();

                txtdept.Text = gvw[0]["Department"].ToString();

                txtdesig.Text = gvw[0]["Designation"].ToString();

                txtemail.Text = gvw[0]["Email"].ToString();

                txtphone.Text = gvw[0]["Phone"].ToString();

                txtaddress.Text = gvw[0]["Address"].ToString();

            }

           

            ModalPopupExtender1.Show();

        }
