Any C# or .NET programmers about?
 

Here is my dilemma, I am building my firms intranet and I am currently building the admin tools. I am trying to build a tool that allows me to edit the news posts on the front page of the intranet.

I use a gridview to list out the contents of my INT_NewsItems table. Each record is a news post on the front page of the intranet.

I created an EDIT column in the gridview with a hyperlink to a new page passing the ID variable...

basically http:// EditNews.aspx?ID= + ID

On EditNews.aspx I pull the ID variable and use it make a query to populate the page with the information of the record we want to edit/update.

One of the fields we want to update is the IMAGE field. When I create the newsitem I have the ability to upload a picture (using the fileupload) and then I save the path to the database so when the newsitem is viewed, the picture is visible in line rather than as an attachment. For the sake of the EditNews page, I list a hyperlink to the picture and put a button next to it so I can DELETE it if I want. The button works, it points to a delImage function in the CS page, but it only works because I am entering the actual ID of the newitem rather than the ID field...... This is my problem.... I need to know how to pass a variable to the delItem function in the CS page of EditNews.aspx so when I click the Delete button, the ID variable is passed so I can do a query and get the path of the image to delete.

How do I pass/get this variable? Im stumped. All the code is in the EditNews.aspx.cs page. Almost all of the initial population is in the page_load function. I need to pass it to the delImage function with that button.

geek.

don't you know. all the great code comes from google :)

im long past this part... now im having SQL issues..

Google has been uncooperative thusfar.

Did you look at the interface patterns for the ocx?
Or are you now have sql problems?

set a local variable in the page and then trigger the del btn click event

i cant tell if striperman is kidding or not... it sounds technical but it also sounds like a joke :)

what are you using for sql?

SQL Server 2000

Sql problem resolved.... now i need to figure out how to disable a postback.... filling out a form with a query, want to edit it, and save it, but clicking the button forces a postback so i lose all my changes...

boo...

got some ideas ill have to try tomorrow

set the postback, refresh property to no.
