Jquery read DatakeyNames value of Selected Rows of GridView in Asp.Net

As we know GridView is a very popular control. We always experiment to enhance the GridView control to provide better experience to user. Since javascript is also a popular clientside language, most of the times we use this in client side operations like validation, Row coloring, cell coloring etc. Now a days Jquery is more popular so that in this article i will explain how you can capture the selected rows of a GridView control and also read the datakeyname values using JQuery. So at first i will tell you how we capture selected rows of a GridView. In this example i don't consider the built in Select command. Instead of select command here i use checkbox to select rows by user. The another important tip is we cannot directly access DataKeyNames values of a GridView. To get the value, here I will use a template column to store the same DataKeyValue in a hiddenfield. After that through iteration by Jquery I will read the hiddenfield values which looks alike datakeynames values.

For selecting/deselecting all checkboxes of a GridView using Javascript click here.


My example output look like below:
GridView_Datakeynames_jQuery

The GridView Control HTML will be:
01<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataKeyNames="ID">  
02            <Columns>  
03                <asp:TemplateField>  
04                    <ItemTemplate>  
05                        <asp:CheckBox ID="chkSelect" runat="server" />  
06                        <asp:HiddenField ID="IDVal" runat="server" Value='<%# Eval("ID") %>' />  
07                    </ItemTemplate>  
08                </asp:TemplateField>  
09                <asp:TemplateField>  
10                    <HeaderTemplate>  
11                        Name  
12                    </HeaderTemplate>  
13                    <ItemTemplate>  
14                        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>'></asp:Label>  
15                    </ItemTemplate>  
16                </asp:TemplateField>  
17            </Columns>  
18        </asp:GridView>

The Jquery Script also given below:
01<script type="text/javascript">  
02    $(document).ready(function() { 
03    var gridView1Control = document.getElementById('<%= GridView1.ClientID %>');  
04    $('#<%= cmdGetData.ClientID %>').click(function (e) {
05        var DataKeyName=""; 
06        $('input:checkbox[id$=chkSelect]:checked', gridView1Control).each(function (item, index) {  
07            if(DataKeyName.length==0)
08            {
09                DataKeyName = $(this).next('input:hidden[id$=IDVal]').val();
10            }
11            else
12            {
13                DataKeyName += "," + $(this).next('input:hidden[id$=IDVal]').val();
14            }
15        });  
16        alert(DataKeyName);
17        return false;  
18    });  
19   });  
20</script>

Now Bind the GridView data within Page_Load Event:
01protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
02    {
03        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
04 
05        dt.Columns.Add("ID");
06        dt.Columns.Add("Name");
07 
08        DataRow oItem = dt.NewRow();
09        oItem[0] = "1";
10        oItem[1] = "Shawpnendu Bikash Maloroy";
11        dt.Rows.Add(oItem);
12 
13        oItem = dt.NewRow();
14        oItem[0] = "2";
15        oItem[1] = "Bimalendu Bikash Maloroy";
16        dt.Rows.Add(oItem);
17 
18        oItem = dt.NewRow();
19        oItem[0] = "3";
20        oItem[1] = "Purnendu Bikash Maloroy";
21        dt.Rows.Add(oItem);
22 
23        GridView1.DataSource = dt;
24        GridView1.DataBind();
25 
26    }

The complete markup language of this example is:
01<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="GridView_DataKeyNames_Jquery.aspx.cs" Inherits="GridView_DataKeyNames_Jquery" %>

11    $(document).ready(function() { 
12    var gridView1Control = document.getElementById('<%= GridView1.ClientID %>');  
13    $('#<%= cmdGetData.ClientID %>').click(function (e) {
14        var DataKeyName=""; 
15        $('input:checkbox[id$=chkSelect]:checked', gridView1Control).each(function (item, index) {  
16            if(DataKeyName.length==0)
17            {
18                DataKeyName = $(this).next('input:hidden[id$=IDVal]').val();
19            }
20            else
21            {
22                DataKeyName += "," + $(this).next('input:hidden[id$=IDVal]').val();
23            }
24        });  
25        alert(DataKeyName);
26        return false;  
27    });  
28   });  
29</script>

31</head>
32<body>
33    <form id="form1" runat="server">
34    <div>
35        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataKeyNames="ID">

GRIDVIEW GROUPING

When displaying data, we sometimes would like to group data for better user experience or when displaying long list of hierarchal data, we would want to display them in a tree view kind of structure. There is more than way of doing this, but I am going to explain achieving this functionality using  AJAX Collapsible Panel Extender Control . Overview: I am going to use  Adventure Works  as datasource. Every product in  Production.Product  table belongs to a product sub category. We fetch handful of products and the sub categories they belong to from the database. Our objective is to list all the available sub categories and allow user to  expand/collapse  to look/hide the list of products belonging to each subcategory. Database Connection Added following entry under  connectionStrings  element in  web.config . < add   name = "Sql"   connectionString="Data Source=(local); Initial  Catalog = AdventureWorks ...

GRIDVIEW ZOOM IMAGE

When you have images in your  GridView , you would most likely show them as thumbnails so as to not distort the whole layout. However user would want to look at the full image by clicking on the image or just hovering his mouse over it. In today’s applications, this is a basic requirement and there are just so many third party controls or plugins which would support this functionality. I am going do this conventional way using  javascript  way in this article.  On top of it, I am also going to explain how to get images from database using  HttpHandlers . Example: I am using  Adventure Works  as datasource. We fetch handful of products and bind them to the grid. When page is initially loaded, we retrieve products from Production . Product  table and bind them to the grid. We display some product attributes such as Product ID, Product Number, Product Name, List Price and product’s thumbnail. When user hover his mouse on the page, we fetch the f...
