Reorder Gridview: This article explains how to reorder or sort Asp.net Gridview control rows .i.e. drag and drop row for sorting or change row position order of Gridview control with jQuery in asp.net c#.
For the drag-drop feature here we use jQuery UI sortable, using this enables the drag and drop feature on our Asp.net Gridview control.
Basically, this makes our asp.net Gridview drag and drop rows to change their row positions.
Screenshot:
# HTML Markup :
Here we added asp.net Gridview control and asp.net Button control. Also need to import some js files like JQuery latest lib, jQuery Ui.js , and jQuery ui.css.
So finally our HTML markup looks like as given below
<div>
<asp:GridView ID="gvLanguages" CssClass="gvLanguageClass" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Sr no" ItemStyle-Width="50">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Container.DataItemIndex + 1 %>
<input type="hidden" name="languageId" value='<%# Eval("id_") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="language_name" HeaderText="Language Name" ItemStyle-Width="160" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="developed_by" HeaderText="Developed By" ItemStyle-Width="160" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="sort_order" HeaderText="Sort order" ItemStyle-Width="50" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="btnUpdateSortOrder" runat="server" Text="Update Sort Order"
OnClick="btnUpdateSortOrder_Click" />
</div># DataBase:
We having a table named programming_language_info where we have 4 columns id_, language_name, developed_by, sort_order.CREATE TABLE [dbo].[programming_language_info]( [id_] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [language_name] [nvarchar](150) NULL, [developed_by] [nvarchar](150) NULL, [sort_order] [bigint] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
# Code Behind:
First, we create a method as bindGridview, this method will bind our Gridview control from the database and will call this method on page_load event.//*
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack) {
bindGridview();
}
}
//*//*
public void bindGridview()
{
string myQuery = "select id_,language_name,developed_by,sort_order from programming_language_info order by sort_order";
SqlDataAdapter dap = new SqlDataAdapter(myQuery,cn);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
dap.Fill(ds);
gvLanguages.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
gvLanguages.DataBind();
}
//*
# Jquery: apply jQuery sortable to enable drag drop to reorder feature on Gridview.
Currently, our Gridview is populated with data, but you will find drag and drop functionality is not there.
To add drag-drop functionality on our gridview we are using jQuery UI sortable.
So we can reorder or sort Gridview rows by just a simple drag and drop row of Gridview control.
//*
$(document).ready)function(){
$(".gvLanguageClass").sortable({
items: 'tr:not(tr:first-child)',
cursor: 'pointer',
axis: 'y',
dropOnEmpty: false,
start: function (e, ui) {
ui.item.addClass("selected");
},
stop: function (e, ui) {
ui.item.removeClass("selected");
},
});
});
//*Yeah, we are done, Hit F5 and now you will be able to drag and drop the Gridview row, i.e reorder of Gridview row.
But there is a twist we are able to drag-drop and reorder the rows but not saving the changed rows ordering update database. So now we are going to save the changed ordering into our database.
# Code Behind: To save the position of reordered rows of Gridview into the database.
//*
protected void btnUpdateSortOrder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// stores id_ in array
string [] id_language =Request.Form.GetValues("languageId");
int sortNumber=1;
// Loop over array, which contains id_
foreach (string i in id_language) {
// method which which fire update query order save into database
updateRecord(i, sortNumber);
sortNumber++;
}
Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl);
}
//*//*
public void updateRecord(string languageId,int sortOrder)
{
string updateQuery = "UPDATE programming_language_info SET sort_order = @sort_order WHERE id_ = @id_";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(cn.ConnectionString))
{
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand()) {
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = updateQuery;
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id_", languageId);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@sort_order",sortOrder);
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();
}
}
}
