Generate report problem

Hey,

I wanted to generate a report (GenReport.aspx) containing the list of GridView items filtered from the entered data from report.aspx. When I was debugging, I selected the data I wanted to filter, but it shows me all the data on the table instead of the data filtered on the table.

GenReport.aspx.cs

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "AppTypeName", DataType = typeof(string) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "name", DataType = typeof(string) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "designation", DataType = typeof(string) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "OfficeName", DataType = typeof(string) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "floorNo", DataType = typeof(string) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "DeptName", DataType = typeof(string) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "projectType", DataType = typeof(string) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "emailDiversionType", DataType = typeof(string) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "IntAccess", DataType = typeof(bool) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "nsf", DataType = typeof(bool) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "loanComp", DataType = typeof(bool) });
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "Date", DataType = typeof(DateTime) });

                string AppTypeName = Request.QueryString["status"];
                string name = Request.QueryString["name"];
                string designation = Request.QueryString["designation"];
                string OfficeName = Request.QueryString["office"];
                string floorNo = Request.QueryString["floor"];
                string DeptName = Request.QueryString["dept"];
                string projectType = Request.QueryString["project"];
                string emailDiversionType = Request.QueryString["emailDiv"];
                bool IntAccess = false;
                bool nsf = false;
                bool loanComp = false;

                if (Request.Form["IA"] != null && Request.Form["IA"] == "true")
                {
                    IntAccess = true;
                }
                if (Request.Form["NSF"] != null && Request.Form["NSF"] == "true")
                {
                    nsf = true;
                }
                if (Request.Form["LC"] != null && Request.Form["LC"] == "true")
                {
                    loanComp = true;
                }

                dt.Rows.Add(AppTypeName, name, designation, OfficeName, floorNo, DeptName, projectType, emailDiversionType, IntAccess, nsf, loanComp, DateTime.Now);
                // I have made the Date as DateTime.Now

                FormView1.DataSource = dt;
                FormView1.DataBind();
            }
        }

From a quick first view I can not see how your dataset is being filtered in your report.aspx.cs file. There is no query to the database that will return the filtered dataset to bind it to your grid view. Thats way it displays the whole data set. But I will look at it closer some other time.

use session to pass filter dataset from gridform to report page.

It seems to me that your problem is most propably in the concatenation of your filter condition. And I am explain myself. I see that your filter is a binary or condition. That means that any of your filter parameters could, actually, be inside the filter string. So when you are starting to concatanate, all the filter strings are ending, correctlly, with an "AND" clause, except from the last one. Now here i think is your problem. If your last filter string (strFilter += "[loanComp] LIKE '" + lc_num + "%'";) is not chosen inside your filter then all your filter contition string ends with an "%' AND " and that is causing your problem.
Try to put the "%' AND " string also in your final filter substring I mentioned above and then just before you apply your filter condition cut off the final 7 characters from the string.
Hope I helped.

I've added a line of the code inside the 'if' statement.
strFilter = strFilter.Substring(strFilter.Length - 7);

When I want to filter everything, it gives me an error: Missing operand before 'Mod' operator. When I want to filter some, it still shows all the results instead of filtered.

that is probably becouse the substraction ends in the % symbol (I mighht have missed a charackter in the count), so make the "-7" -> "-8" and see what it gives.
