DataBinding: ‘System.Data.DataRowView’ does not contain a property with the name

I am getting this weird error… the primary key in my database is ‘DocumentID’ so I know that is not the issue. I am trying to get the select,edit & delete gridview buttons to work but I need the datakeynames to be set correctly for them to be available to use. any ideas?

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="sdsDocuments" EnableModelValidation="True"
        SelectedIndex="0" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged" DataKeyNames="DocumentID, DocumentTitle, DocumentBody">
        <Columns>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="DocumentID" HeaderText="DocumentID" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="ID" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="DocumentTitle" HeaderText="DocumentTitle" SortExpression="Title" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="DocumentBody" HeaderText="DocumentBody" SortExpression="Body" />
            <asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" ShowDeleteButton="True" />
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsDocuments" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:blcDocumentationConnectionString %>"
        SelectCommand="SELECT [DocumentTitle], [DocumentBody] FROM [tblDocument]" />

Here is the stack trace…

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Method 1

Well, you haven’t selected the documentid column and hence it’s not present in either datatable or dataview which you are binding to grid OR referencing that column through datatable.

Change your query to

 SelectCommand="SELECT [DocumentID],[DocumentTitle], [DocumentBody] FROM [tblDocument]" />

Method 2

1- First step you have to select the Documentid column in SELECT statement

SelectCommand="SELECT [DocumentID], [DocumentTitle], [DocumentBody] FROM [tblDocument]" />

2- You have to include it in datagridview COLUMN as you did:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="sdsDocuments" EnableModelValidation="True"
        SelectedIndex="0" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged" DataKeyNames="DocumentID, DocumentTitle, DocumentBody">
        <Columns>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="DocumentID" HeaderText="DocumentID" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="ID" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="DocumentTitle" HeaderText="DocumentTitle" SortExpression="Title" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="DocumentBody" HeaderText="DocumentBody" SortExpression="Body" />
            <asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" ShowDeleteButton="True" />
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>

3- If you are using Paging in datagridview AllowPaging=”True” ,you have to SELECT also documentid on the event OnSelectedIndexChanged=”GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged” to SELECT data in second and third page and so on:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" DataSourceID="sdsDocuments" EnableModelValidation="True"
        SelectedIndex="0" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged" DataKeyNames="DocumentID, DocumentTitle, DocumentBody">

Then on the event OnSelectedIndexChanged=”GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged” :

protected void GridView1_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
                DataTable dt = // your SELECT statement //
                GridView1.DataSource = dt;
                GridView1.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
                GridView1.DataBind();
}

if you dont use this void then you will get same error when you click page 2

Method 3

It seems that your sqldatasource does not return the DocumentId column.

Maybe you should change the datasource definition to this:

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsDocuments" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:blcDocumentationConnectionString %>"
    SelectCommand="SELECT [DocumentID], [DocumentTitle], [DocumentBody] FROM [tblDocument]" />

Method 4

DataSet Année = new DataSet();
Année.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/Annees.xml"));

DropDownList1.DataTextField = "Number";
DropDownList1.DataValueField = "Number";
DropDownList1.DataSource = "Année";

DropDownList1.DataBind();
