Hello

Please give me a Hint.
I am migrating code from ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem("Apple"); to ListViewDataItem item = new ListViewDataItem(Apple);.

However, code ListViewDataItem is not being migrated.

The end goal is list.Items.Add(item); to be.

I am trying so far to try to solve the problem.

However, it is not resolved.

Please give me a Hint.



C#:
Expand Collapse Copy 
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem("Apple");
item.SubItems.Add("Banana");
                
list.Items.Add(item);



C#:
Expand Collapse Copy 
<asp:ListView ID="list" runat="server" Visible ="true">
<LayoutTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Apple</th>
<th>Banana</th>                                                                  
</tr>                                                                
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="ORDER_ID" Text='<%#Eval("ORDER_ID") %>' runat="server"></asp:Label></td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="ORDER_ID1" Text='<%#Eval("ORDER_ID1") %>' runat="server"></asp:Label></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

RTFM:

docs.microsoft.com

ListViewDataItem(Int32, Int32) Constructor (System.Web.UI.WebControls)

Initializes a new instance of the ListViewDataItem class.
docs.microsoft.com

Thr constructor only takes index values where the second index value is an index into your data.

I highly recommend abandoning this approach of doing a mechanical port of your WinForms code and stepping back to see what the end goal is. In my view, the goal is display a bunch of rows of data. If it's only for display and the list of rows is static, the simplest approach maybe just to brute force hardcoding a <table> since in the end that is what the ListView generates on the client side. If the list of rows is not static, then a simple for loop for generating the table is still a viable option. If you really need a ListView because the user needs to interact/select with items displayed, then compose a list of items and set data as the data source for the ListView. If you actually took time to read the documentation for the ListView there is nothing that says that the data source must be rows retrieved from a database.

What did you mean by this? (Temporary Table, DataSource)

After creating a temporary table, it is imported into the DataSource of the ListView.

What did you mean by this?

C#:
Expand Collapse Copy 
            int rowIndex = 0;

            if (ViewState["CurrentTable"] != null)
            {
                DataTable dtCurrentTable = (DataTable)ViewState["CurrentTable"];
                DataRow drCurrentRow = null;
                if (dtCurrentTable.Rows.Count > 0)
                {
                    for (int i = 1; i <= dtCurrentTable.Rows.Count; i++)
                    {
                        TextBox TextBoxName = (TextBox)listview1.Items[rowIndex].FindControl("txtFName");
 
                        drCurrentRow = dtCurrentTable.NewRow();

                        dtCurrentTable.Rows[i - 1]["FName"] = TextBoxName.Text;
                        rowIndex++;
                    }
                    dtCurrentTable.Rows.Add(drCurrentRow);
                    ViewState["CurrentTable"] = dtCurrentTable;

                    listview1.DataSource = dtCurrentTable;
                    listview1.DataBind();

                    TextBox txn = (TextBox)listview1.Items[rowIndex].FindControl("txtFName");
                    txn.Focus();
                }

How did we go from "Apple" and "Banana" column names to "FName"?

But anyway, something like that. That code there looks broken. It only binds a data table to the list view if it already has a table stored in the page view state. How do you put the initial data table into the page view state? Also the list view maintains its own view state including keeping track of its data source. Why is that code there maintaining a different view state? Why is that code creating dtCurrentTable.Rows.Count rows, but only adding the last row it created? Why is that code changing thing "FName" column values?

The attached source is an example.

Do you mean to do it DataTable&DataSource instead of ListviewDataItem& Add(ListviewDataItem) ?

I am migrating code from ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem("Apple"); to ListViewDataItem item = new ListViewDataItem(Apple);.

I'm doing a simple mechanical code migration. ( C#Winform ListView Code ---> ASP.ET Webform ListView Code )

C#:
Expand Collapse Copy 
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem("Apple");
item.SubItems.Add("Banana");
             
list.Items.Add(item);


C#:
Expand Collapse Copy 
<asp:ListView ID="list" runat="server" Visible ="true">
<LayoutTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Apple</th>
<th>Banana</th>                                                                 
</tr>                                                               
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="ORDER_ID" Text='<%#Eval("ORDER_ID") %>' runat="server"></asp:Label></td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="ORDER_ID1" Text='<%#Eval("ORDER_ID1") %>' runat="server"></asp:Label></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

There is no need for you to deal with the ListViewDataItem. Just create a list of POCOs that represent each row. Bind that list to the ListView. The binding will create the ListViewDataItems.

You cannot do that because the WinForms ListView concepts don't translate to the WebForms ListView. The WinForms ListView has an underlying Win32 API ListViewItem structure/object for each row. The WebForms ListView has the HTML <tr> to represent each row. There is no easy direct translation.

insertitemtemplate ???

*sigh* Re-read the link I posted in your old thread. Were they using the InsertItemTemplate just to display items?

I still haven't been able to solve this problem.😭

My ideas are below. example

C#:
Expand Collapse Copy 
struct book{
    public string id;
}

book temp = new book();
List<book> list = new List<book>();
list.Add(temp);
list[0].id = "Apple";

Okay. So what happens when you bind that to a ListView?

I wrote the code like this, but I haven't run it yet.
My idea for the problem above is the List<class> structure in ListView


C#:

Poor idea. Write a small bit of code. Test it. If it works, commit or backup the code and then add a little bit more. Test. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Even better would be to do your learning on a small self contained project first. Do small steps and small changes making backups or commits along the way. Learn what you need to learn, then go back to the main project and then incrementally make changes, testing, and making backups or committing along the way.

I'll report the results when I'm done.

C#:
Expand Collapse Copy 
stlistAssign stlvOriginal = new stlistAssign();
List<stlistAssign> ltlvOriginal = new List<stlistAssign>();

The code above is my idea for the problem below.
