C# – How to create a timetable

asp.netcgridviewweb

I have to create a timetable for a web application with the hours as column names and the week days as row names. I mean something like that:

—————| 8:00 | 9:00 | 10:00 | 11:00 | 12:00 | 13:00 |

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

I would like to use ASP.NET. I tried using GridView so that I can use it's events and populate the GridView with the data from the database but it is not flexible enough. I can't set the weekdays as row names. I know that it can be done using jQuery but I haven't learnt jQuery and that's why it is very difficult for me to do it this way.
I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem.

Best Answer

Declare a DataTable object

DataTable dt = new DataTable();

add DayName column to it
add the timings as columns to it 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00 etc

dt.Columns.Add("test");

add 7 rows for each weekday

DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["DayName"] = "Sunday";
dt.Rows.Add(dr);

DataRow dr2 = dt.NewRow();
dr2["DayName"] = "Monday";
dt.Rows.Add(dr2);

finally bind the DataTable to grid

C# – How to cast int to enum

From an int:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)yourInt;

From a string:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(YourEnum), yourString);

// The foo.ToString().Contains(",") check is necessary for enumerations marked with an [Flags] attribute
if (!Enum.IsDefined(typeof(YourEnum), foo) && !foo.ToString().Contains(","))
{
    throw new InvalidOperationException($"{yourString} is not an underlying value of the YourEnum enumeration.")
}

Update:

From number you can also

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)Enum.ToObject(typeof(YourEnum) , yourInt);
