If you are not putting your code under C:\inetpub\wwwroot, then you need to tell IIS where to look for it. You appear to have put it in a normal directory. You can either make that a virtual...

You can't just open/run an aspx page like that -- it has to go through IIS and the .NET engine.
Did you install .NET Framewrok and set up IIS on your machine?

MSDN has a nice article on the subject.

The first thing I would do is set up a test page using only the datagrid. Get it data bound and working normally.
Once that is set, then I'd add the code for the user control, and see if even...

You can bind the grid whenever you like.
The method is DataBind()

Which event is this code running from?
Did you trace with Studio (debug)?

Are you perhaps looking for MultiView / GridView?

Standard components available in .NET are the same, regardless of your language of choice.

Probably because you're setting PostBackURL in the same spot you're trying to use it.
PostBackURL is written out as client-side javascript on a button. If it is not set already at design time, you...

That's just a link, right?
Therefore, the linked page should work fine. If you just plug that link into your browser, does it work?

You don't have to display every column you select.
I use views with a bunch of columns as my datasource, and they work for several different grids.

Sure. A simple console app to demonstrate.


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program

Sure it's possible.
Where does the range come from? That is, the start and end dates of the current month and current year, or user input, or ...?

How do you want it?
Two date objects, a string, an array of dates ...?

Unless you're stuck with someone else's DAL, that is. ;)

You can write custom code to get the value, but it's a serious pain in the behind and isn't actually binding. You have to write custom...

IIS needs to be set up for .NET.
Is it?

PostBackURL is more equivalent to Server.Transfer than Response.Redirect.
It maintains ViewState and all the rest of the Page object and other State Bags.

Response.Redirect simply sends a 302 to...

Okay, no, that won't work like that.
Behind the scenes, all post back url does is change the onclick on the button CLIENT SIDE.
So changing it then trying to call onclick, before the code is...

Ah, I see.
Hang on a few, let me trace it.

Here's what I had.
Note that posting to the daniweb address actually causes an error due to them not accepting POST from outside their domain. However, this still indicates success at postbackurl....

Yes, and for me, it does.
You're inheriting code. Did you mean to do that?

Inherits="PassParameters._Default" %>

You had a couple other errors in there I fixed without thinking about it, too. ...

You might be accidentally calling the click before the url is actually set.

GridView supports EmptyDataRowStyle

The DateTime object has properties for month, day, year, etc. DateTime.Now is today's date. You can go from there.
Note that ToString is overloaded for DateTime in order to format a date for output.

Response.write is pretty old school ASP. You're using .NET now. Make a <asp:label> with no text and set its .Text property at the proper time.

Which can be gotten back again with one click.

Make a decent application instead; save yourself work and your users hassle.

You have a datetime. How you display it is up to you. The DateTime object supports multiple methods for displaying the date, as well as an overridden ToString that can take a format....

From my application:



// close the page if successful update
RegisterStartupScript("load", "<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n" +
"self.close();\n"...
