PRB: 'A call to Bind was not well formatted' when field name contains spaces
Monday, 01 October 2007
When using the two-way databinding expression Bind with parameters which contain spaces or other special characters an error occurs.
SYMPTOMS
When using the two-way databinding expression Bind with parameters which contain
spaces or other special characters the following error occurs:
Parser Error
Description:
An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request.
Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source
file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: A call to Bind was not well formatted. Please
refer to documentation for the correct parameters to Bind.
CAUSE
The problem is caused by the ASP.NET parser which expects the Bind parameter to
be an alphanumeric identifier.
RESOLUTION
You can resolve this problem in two ways:
Use the SmartDBControl control to edit the field which contains special characters.
Using SmartDBControl does not require two-way databinding.
The other way is to replace Bind command with Eval. In addition you
have to handle the SmartDBView.ValuesExtracted in
order to extract the new value. For example:
Protected Sub SmartDBView1_ValuesExtracted(ByVal sender As Adillis.SmartDBForms.SmartDBView, ByVal e As Adillis.SmartDBForms.SmartDBViewExtractedArgs)
e.Values("Field Name") = CType(sender.FindControl("TextBox1"), TextBox).Text
End Sub
