Introduction

In this article, I will show you the GridView control as a movie screen layout like shown in the below images in ASP.NET.

First of all, create the database in SQL Server and name it as a “GridView_As_A_MOVIE_ScreenLayout” and in that database creates the two tables like below:

Create the stored procedures for adding screen, getting all screens, adding screen layout and getting screen layout.

/*(1st StoredProcedure)*/
/*This stored procedure is for adding screen which takes one parameter */
Create Proc sp_AddScreen
(
@ScreenName varchar(20)
)
as
Begin
if not exists (select ScreenId from tbl_Screens where ScreenName = @ScreenName)
begin
insert into tbl_Screens(ScreenName) values (@ScreenName)
end
End
/*(2nd StoredProcedure)*/
/*This stored procedure is for getting all screens from tbl_Screens  */
Create procedure sp_GetScreens as
select * from tbl_Screens
/*(3rd StoredProcedure)*/
/*This stored procedure is for adding screen layout*/
CREATE Procedure sp_AddScreenLayout
(
@RowName varchar(5),
@ScreenId int,
@1 varchar(5),
@2 varchar(5),
@3 varchar(5),
@4 varchar(5),
@5 varchar(5),
@6 varchar(5),
@7 varchar(5),
@8 varchar(5),
@9 varchar(5),
@10 varchar(5),
@11 varchar(5),
@12 varchar(5),
@13 varchar(5),
@14 varchar(5),
@15 varchar(5),
@16 varchar(5),
@17 varchar(5),
@18 varchar(5),
@19 varchar(5),
@20 varchar(5),
@21 varchar(5),
@22 varchar(5),
@23 varchar(5),
@24 varchar(5),
@25 varchar(5),
@26 varchar(5),
@27 varchar(5),
@28 varchar(5),
@29 varchar(5),
@30 varchar(5),
@Message varchar(150) out
)
As
Begin
if @RowName = 'Line'
begin
insert into tbl_ScreenLayout (RowName,ScreenId,_
[1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10],_
[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18],[19],[20],_
[21],[22],[23],[24],[25],[26],[27],[28],[29],[30])
              values (@RowName,@ScreenId,@1,@2,@3,@4,@5,@6,@7,@8,@9,@10,_
              @11,@12,@13,@14,@15,@16,@17,@18,@19,@20,_
              @21,@22,@23,@24,@25,@26,@27,@28,@29,@30)
set @Message = 'Added Successfully.'
end

else
begin
if (select ColumnId from tbl_ScreenLayout where _
RowName=@RowName and ScreenId=@ScreenId) is null
begin
insert into tbl_ScreenLayout (RowName,ScreenId,_
[1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10],_
[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18],[19],[20],_
[21],[22],[23],[24],[25],[26],[27],[28],[29],[30])
              values (@RowName,@ScreenId,@1,@2,@3,@4,@5,@6,@7,@8,@9,@10,_
              @11,@12,@13,@14,@15,@16,@17,@18,@19,@20,_
              @21,@22,@23,@24,@25,@26,@27,@28,@29,@30)
set @Message = 'Added Successfully.'
end
end

End

/*(4th StoredProcedure)*/
/*This stored procedure is to get screen layout */
CREATE procedure sp_GetScreenLayout(@ScreenId int) as
select * from tbl_Screens s
                    inner join
                    tbl_ScreenLayout sl
                                 on
      sl.ScreenId=s.ScreenId and sl.ScreenId=@ScreenId

In Web.config file, write a connection string in <connectionStrings/> tag.

<connectionStrings>
	<add name="constr" connectionString="User Id = sa; Password = 123; 
	Database = GridView_As_A_MOVIE_ScreenLayout; Data Source = KatareRaju"/>
</connectionStrings>

Add new class by right clicking on solution explorer and name it as a DAL (DAL = Data Access Layer) and define three methods like follows:

    static SqlConnection con;
    static SqlCommand cmd;
    static DataSet ds;
    static SqlDataAdapter da;
    /*(1st method in DAL.cs)*/
    /*GetConnectionString method reads the connection string from web.config
      file and returns connection string*/
    public static string GetConnectionString()
    {
        return
           ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
    }

    /*(2nd method in DAL.cs)*/
    /*This method is for performing operations like Insert, Update and
      Delete*/
    public static int ExecuteNonQuery(string connectionString, CommandType
                commandType, string commandText, SqlParameter[] parameters)

            }
            con.Open();
            return cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
        catch (SqlException ex)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException(ex.Message);
        }
        finally { con.Close(); }
    }

    /*(3rd method in DAL.cs)*/
    /*This method is for retrieving data from database*/
    public static DataSet ExecuteDataSet(string connectionString, CommandType
                 commandType, string commandText, SqlParameter[] parameters)

        try
        {
            con = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
            cmd = new SqlCommand();
            cmd.Connection = con;
            cmd.CommandText = commandText;
            cmd.CommandType = commandType;
            if (parameters == null)
            {
                da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
                ds = new DataSet();
                da.Fill(ds);

Add New WebForm and drag & drop three(3) panels on it and design Panel1, Panel2, and Panel3 as follows and design those panels like below:

And CodeBehind file (i.e., .cs file) of webform declares variables for using throughout the file and in default constructor, create instance for Business Object Layer class.

    int val;
    BOL obj;  //Business Object Layer class


    //Default Constructor
    public GridView_As_A_MOVIE_ScreenLayout()
    {
         obj = new BOL();
    }

Write a method to bind the screen names to the DropDownList of Panel2, i.e., ddlScreens and call this method when the page is loading for the first time.

    /// <summary>
    /// BindScreens method binds the all screens to the ddlScreens
                         DropDownList of Panel2(GroupingText="ScreenDesign";)
    /// </summary>
    void BindScreens()
    {
        try
        {
            ddlScreens.Items.Clear();
            ddlScreens.DataSource = obj.GetScreens();
            ddlScreens.DataTextField = "ScreenName";
            ddlScreens.DataValueField = "ScreenId";
            ddlScreens.DataBind();
            ddlScreens.Items.Insert(0, "Select");
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            throw;
        }
    }

    //Page Load
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack) { BindScreens(); }
    }

Call the AddScreen method of BOL class for adding the screen to the tbl_Screens table in the Button (ID="btnSubmit") Click event.

    /// <summary>
    /// This is for adding screen
    /// </summary>
    protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            int val = obj.AddScreen(Convert.ToString(txtScreenName.Text));
            if (val >= 0)
            {
                Response.Write("Screen addeed successfully.");
                BindScreens();
            }
            else
                Response.Write("Screen you added is already existed.");
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            throw;
        }
    }

In DesignScreen panel, write code for SelectedIndexChanged event of CheckBoxList (ID="chkbSeats") like below:

    protected void chkbSeats_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (ListItem lt in chkbSeats.Items)
        {
            if (lt.Selected)
            {
                val += 1;
                lt.Text = Convert.ToString(val);
            }
            else { lt.Text = ""; }
        }
    }

Call the AddScreenLayout method of BOL class for adding the screen layout to the tbl_ScreenLayout table in the Button (ID="btnSubmitScreenLayout") Click event.

    /// <summary>
    /// This is for adding screen layout
    /// </summary>
    protected void btnSubmitScreenLayout_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            string one = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("1").Text.ToString();
            string two = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("2").Text.ToString();
            string three = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("3").Text.ToString();
            string four = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("4").Text.ToString();
            string five = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("5").Text.ToString();
            string six = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("6").Text.ToString();
            string seven = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("7").Text.ToString();
            string eight = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("8").Text.ToString();
            string nine = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("9").Text.ToString();
            string ten = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("10").Text.ToString();
            string eleven = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("11").Text.ToString();
            string twelve = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("12").Text.ToString();
            string thirteen = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("13").Text.ToString();
            string fourteen = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("14").Text.ToString();
            string fifteen = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("15").Text.ToString();
            string sixteen = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("16").Text.ToString();
            string seventeen = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("17").Text.ToString();
            string eighteen = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("18").Text.ToString();
            string nineteen = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("19").Text.ToString();
            string twenty = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("20").Text.ToString();
            string twentyone = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("21").Text.ToString();
            string twentytwo = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("22").Text.ToString();
            string twentythree = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("23").Text.ToString();
            string twentyfour = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("24").Text.ToString();
            string twentyfive = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("25").Text.ToString();
            string twentysix = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("26").Text.ToString();
            string twentyseven = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("27").Text.ToString();
            string twentyeight = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("28").Text.ToString();
            string twentynine = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("29").Text.ToString();
            string thirty = chkbSeats.Items.FindByValue("30").Text.ToString();
            lblMsg.Text = obj.AddScreenLayout(Convert.ToString(txtRowName.Text), 
		Convert.ToInt32(ddlScreens.SelectedValue), one, two, three,
            four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
            thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
            nineteen, twenty, twentyone, twentytwo, twentythree,
            twentyfour, twentyfive, twentysix, twentyseven,
            twentyeight, twentynine, thirty);
            if (lblMsg.Text == "Added Successfully.")
            {
                GetScreenLayout(Convert.ToInt32(ddlScreens.SelectedValue));
            }
        }
        catch (Exception)
        { throw; }
    }

In ScreenLayout panel, set the AutoGenerateColumns property of GridView(ID="gvScreenLayout") to False. And take 30 TemplateFields and design each templatefield as follows:

<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>

 <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1"  CommandArgument='<%# Eval("1") %>'
  CommandName="ib1" Visible='<%# MyVisible(Eval("1").ToString()) %>'
               runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/wchair.jpg" />

</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle BorderStyle="None" />
</asp:TemplateField>

And lastly, call the GetScreenLayout method of BOL and bind it to GridView to look like a movie screen layout.

    /// <summary>
    /// Binds the Screen Layout to gvScreenLayout GridView which is present in
                      Panel3(GroupingText="Screen Layout";)
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="screenId"></param>
    void GetScreenLayout(int screenId)
    {
        try
        {
            gvScreenLayout.DataSource = obj.GetScreenLayout(screenId);
            gvScreenLayout.DataBind();
        }
        catch (ArgumentException ex)
        {
            Response.Write(ex.Message);
        }
    }
