Question I have a bunch of labels in a formview and their data comes from an sql datasource. I want to create, let's say a total of those labels and put it on an inserted label. What is the easiest way of doing this?
Thanks,
Ryan
Answer I would think the easiest way of doing this would be to capture the values of the labels you want to total in the .cs file (making sure to convert them from strings to integers) and then add them up and convert the final value from integer to string and display it in the generated label. I'm not certain of this though as I am still fairly new to .NET myself but it does make sense that you would do it this way.
Otherwise, since you're using a form view you might need to do this in the item template where you assign all the values to the labels.
