Today i am explaining here how to drag and drop rows from source gridview to destination gridview in Asp.Net using jQuery UI sortable plugin.
HTML Markup
The HTML markup is simple and it contains two ASP.Net GridViews gvSource is the source GridView and the other gvDest is the Destination GridView.
<asp:GridView ID="gvSource" runat="server" CssClass="drag_drop_grid GridSrc" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Item" HeaderText="Item"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Price" HeaderText="Price"/>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<hr />
<asp:GridView ID="gvDest" runat="server" CssClass="drag_drop_grid GridDest" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Item" HeaderText="Item" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Price" HeaderText="Price"/>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Binding the Source and the Destination GridViews
Here I am binding the source ASP.Net GridView with some shopping items and the destination GridView is bound with a dummy row.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.AddRange(new DataColumn[2] { new DataColumn("Item"), new DataColumn("Price") });
dt.Rows.Add("Shirt", 450);
dt.Rows.Add("Jeans", 3200);
dt.Rows.Add("Trousers", 1900);
dt.Rows.Add("Tie", 185);
dt.Rows.Add("Cap", 100);
dt.Rows.Add("Hat", 120);
dt.Rows.Add("Scarf", 290);
dt.Rows.Add("Belt", 150);
gvSource.UseAccessibleHeader = true;
gvSource.DataSource = dt;
gvSource.DataBind();
dt.Rows.Clear();
dt.Rows.Add();
gvDest.DataSource = dt;
gvDest.DataBind();
}
}
Implementing Drag and Drop Functionality using jQuery
I
am using the jQuery UI Sortable Plugin to implement the Drag and Drop
functionality between the source and the destination GridViews.
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.8.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.22/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="Stylesheet" href="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.10/themes/redmond/jquery-ui.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$(".drag_drop_grid").sortable({
items: 'tr:not(tr:first-child)',
cursor: 'crosshair',
connectWith: '.drag_drop_grid',
axis: 'y',
dropOnEmpty: true,
receive: function (e, ui) {
$(this).find("tbody").append(ui.item);
}
});
$("[id*=gvDest] tr:not(tr:first-child)").remove();
});
</script>
Below are the CSS styles for the source and the destination GridViews
<style type="text/css">
.GridSrc td
{
background-color: #A1DCF2;
color: black;
font-size: 10pt;
font-family:Arial;
line-height: 200%;
cursor: pointer;
width:100px
}
.GridSrc th
{
background-color: #3AC0F2;
color: White;
font-family:Arial;
font-size: 10pt;
line-height: 200%;
width:100px;
}
.GridDest td
{
background-color: #eee !important;
color: black;
font-family:Arial;
font-size: 10pt;
line-height: 200%;
cursor: pointer;
width:100px
}
.GridDest th
{
background-color: #6C6C6C !important;
color: White;
font-family:Arial;
font-size: 10pt;
line-height: 200%;
width:100px
}
</style>
