Where does the Item tickbox come from

Question

I currently have a DetailsView (used to be a Formview, but that is a nogo with Masterpage and ObjectDataSource).

Somehow there is an "Item [ ]" (tickbox) in the graphics that I can't find in the source. It is graphically found after the "Kommentar:" and before the "Dato:"

                <asp:DetailsView ID="dv_InsertComment" runat="server" DefaultMode="Insert" DataSourceID="ods_InsertComment"
                    HeaderText="Kommentar:">
                    <Fields>
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Dato:">
                            <InsertItemTemplate>
                                <asp:Label ID="dNow" runat="server" Text='<%# DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() %>'></asp:Label>
                            </InsertItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Konto" Visible="false">
                            <InsertItemTemplate>
                                <asp:TextBox ID="tbAccountIns" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                            </InsertItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Kommentar:">
                            <InsertItemTemplate>
                                <asp:TextBox ID="tbCommentIns" runat="server" Rows="3" Columns="50" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox>
                            </InsertItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status:">
                            <InsertItemTemplate>
                                <asp:DropDownList ID="StatusList" runat="server" DataSourceID="ods_StatusOptions"
                                    DataTextField="name">
                                </asp:DropDownList>
                            </InsertItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Fremnotering:">
                            <InsertItemTemplate>
                                <asp:DateBox ID="dFuture" runat="server" AllowNullDate="true" />
                            </InsertItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>
                        <asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" Text="Indsæt kommentar" CommandName="Insert" />
                        <asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" Text="Annuller" CommandName="Cancel" />
                    </Fields>
                </asp:DetailsView>

Ontop of that the parameter list requires a "." after NewDate: Aka it requires, "employee, Account, Comment, Type, Status, NewDate. !."

                <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ods_InsertComment" runat="server" InsertMethod="InsertComment"
                    TypeName="OurClient.Host.CommentsBLL" SelectMethod="GetNothing">
                    <InsertParameters>
                        <asp:SessionParameter Name="employee" SessionField="employee" DbType="String" />
                        <asp:Parameter Name="Account" DbType="String" />
                        <asp:Parameter Name="Comment" DbType="String" />
                        <asp:Parameter Name="Type" DefaultValue="0" DbType="Int32" />
                        <asp:Parameter Name="Status" DbType="Int32" />
                        <asp:Parameter Name="NewDate" DbType="DateTime" />
                    </InsertParameters>
                </asp:ObjectDataSource>

I'm thinking if I remove the Item and tickbox, the "." parameter will go away too? But if it is not there how do I remove it?

I have removed the entire <Fields></Fields> just to have only the Item [] remaining. I moved the DefaultMode="Insert" out and the Item [] went grey (not clickable). As I said in the beginning - the DetailsView is a solution instead of a FormView .

Before you ask the GetNothing is a requirement, it must have a SelectMethod defined. Can't compile it unless it's there.

Solution: AutoGenerateRows="False" on <asp:detailsview....>

How did I spot that one? I went to the aspx in question, changed to the Split view and continued to analyse what controls were actually present. I kinda stumbled over the Auto Generate checkbox.

Answer 1

Have you searched the code-behind file?

Maybe the checkbox is injected?

The id of the checkbox is "ContentPlaceHolder2_dv_InsertComment_ctl01", that could be a control which was added dynamically.

Check your code-behind file for any string like "InsertComment" or "dv_" or "_dv", etc. and have a look.

I'm only guessing off course.
