  1. Unit 8.2 Learning Objectives • How data can be used • The Money Ball Example • Data Warehouses • The Role of Data Warehouses • Group Exercise • Accessing Data in Views • Accessing data in Graphical Web Controls • Working with Templated Data • Working with Hidden Cells • Group Exercise

  2. How Data can be used Example: Moneyball • Batting average • Stolen bases • Runs batted in • On-base % • Slugging % • On-base + Slugging (OPS)

  3. Databases • Database creation and use MS Visual Web Developer • Database and Query Development • MS SQL Server • Business Intelligence Microsoft BI, IBM Cognos • Real world Application Money Ball

  4. Data warehouses Please answer the following questions based on Intricity’sVideo on Benefits of a Data Warehouse • What is a Data Warehouse? • What is the impact of the fact that databases can take in one row of data at a time? • When the video says “You are doing it anyway, what is it talking about?” • List any two benefits of data warehousing.

  5. Collections of Rows • GridViews and DetailsViews contain a “collection” of Rows • Each Row contains a collection of Cells Cells Rows gvFees dvFee

  6. Locations of Cells 0 1 • DetailsViewdvFee • The Fee amount (i.e. 7.5000) • dvFee.Rows[2].Cells[1] • GridView: gvFees ( “Select” is Column 0) • The FID of (i.e. 1) is in • gvFees.Rows[0].Cells[1] • The Weight Fee (i.e. 12.5) is in • gvFees.Rows[2].Cells[3] 0 1 2 0 1 2 3 0 1 2

  7. Types of Cells: Standard and Templated

  8. Accessing Data in Standard Cells If • The cell does NOT contain a CheckBox, and • It has NOT been converted to a Template Then • Your data is in the Text property of the Cell • Example: Otherwise • Use the FindControl utility • Example: LabellblFees = new Label(); lblFee.Text= gvFees.Rows[3].Cells[2].Text; LabellblFees= gvFee.Rows[3].Cells[2].FindControl(“lblFee”)) as Label;

  9. Basic Templates Guidelines To create/use templates, remember three things • Web control type (e.g. Label) • Its name (e.g. “lblFeeDescription”), • Its location (e.g. in ItemTemplates ). Why use to Templates • To add validators • To insert new values into the database

  10. Template Example: DetailsView To use templated data, convert them directly into labels.

  11. Hiding data in DetailViews

  12. The Data is NOT where you think it is 0 1 0 1 2 • dvFee.Rows[2].Cells[1] 0 1 Invisible field is still here 0 1 2 What is the location of the fee?

  13. How to tell • Examine at the “SelectedFields” window • Fee Description is still the second field (it is row 1) • And the Fee is still the third field (row 2) 0 1 2

  14. Finding Data in GridViews The SelectedIndex is used to index the row and is -1 if no row is selected • All Data is located in the row selected by the user

  15. All rows of a GridView • Use a special loop called “foreach” • Loops through a collection of rows • One row at a time The type of object being extracted from the collection The collection being looped through

  16. Unit 8 L2 • For this exercise we are going to modify your Unit 5 L2 assignment, replacing the fees ListBox with a fees GridView • Start by Opening your ASPPub and copying your yournameU5L2.aspx files into the Unit8 folder. • Rename the files to yournameU8L2 • Change the page heading from UNIT 5 L2… to UNIT 8 L2 WORKING GRIDVIEW

  17. Unit 8 L2 - 2 • Delete the fees ListBox and put a GridView in its place. Give the GridView the (ID) of gvFees • Click on the GridView’sSmartMenu, click the dropdown next to Choose Data Source and select <New data source> • Select SQL Database and change its ID to sdsFees • Click OK and select the connection you created in U8L1

  18. Unit 8 L2 - 3 • Click Next, select the Fees table and select all the fields individually • Click Next and click Text Query to see the records in the table, then click Finish • Apply an Auto Format to the Gridview and change its width to 300px. • Select Edit Columns from the GridViewsSmartMenu • Select TemplateField from Available Fields and press Add

  19. Unit 8 L2 – 4 • Click the Up Arrow key to move the TemplateField to the top of the Selected fields list • Select FID from Selected fields and change its Visible property to false • Select the FeeDescription field • change its HeaderText property to Description • Change its Styles, HeaderStyle, HorizontalAlign to Left • Select the Fee field and change its DataFormatString to {0:f2}

  20. Unit 8 L2 - 5 • Click OK and then EditTemplates, you should be looking at your new ItemTemplate • Add a CheckBox to the ItemTemplate • Change its (ID) to ckbSelect • Change its Text to Select • End Template Editing • You should have something that looks something like this

  21. Unit 8 L2 - 6 • Delete the WHILE loop button and all its associate code (the easiest way to do this may be do double-click the button to get to the code, select all the click method code and delete it, switch back to design view and delete the button) • Delete the FOR loop button and all its associate code • Double-click the sales tax button and locate and delete the code used in Unit 5 to process the ListBox(leave the lines that calculate the tax and those that write to the Label)

  22. Unit 8 L2 - 7 • In place of the ListBox code write a foreach loop to process the GridView rows: • Find the CheckBox. Remember the data type & cast it • Is it Checked? • Locate the Fee and add it to decFees(remember, the invisible FID field still takes up a Cell!) • Run the page and try • A sales with no fees • A sales with one or more fees • Check your answers! foreach(GridViewRowgvRowingvFees.Rows) {

  23. Unit 8 L2 - 8 • Once you are sure that your calculations work • Add code to reset the checkboxes • This should be a foreach loop that • Locates the CheckBox in the GrideViewRow and • Sets its Checked property to false • Test the page with the same data as before to be sure you get the same answers and that the checkboxes are reset • Once you are sure the page works, link it to your MIS3200 profile page and save your complete ASPPub to ASPNET as you have done before • Post a link to your MIS3200 portfolio page in the dropbox

  24. Think About It! • A DetailsView and a GridView always look like tables. Think of some applications where you might want to display data in a different way. • A FormView shows one record at a time, like the DetailsView, but it isn’t divided into Rows and Cells. How do you think you would access data in a FormView.
