Display ASP.Net GridView record count inside Label on another page using Entity Framework

Hi Rezu2215,

To count GridView records and display in another page use Session.

For count GridView records you can either use GridView Rows count property or Entity set count.

Check this example. Now please take its reference and correct your code.

For this example I have used of Northwind database Employees table that you can download using the link given below.

GridView record count using Rows count is :
<asp:Label ID="lblCountRows" runat="server" />
<br />
GridView record count using Entity count is :
<asp:Label ID="lblCountEntity" runat="server" />

Code

C#

Default.aspx.cs

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        NorthwindModel.NorthwindEntities entities = new NorthwindModel.NorthwindEntities();
        gvEmployees.DataSource = entities.Employees.ToList();
        gvEmployees.DataBind();

        // Using GridView Rows count property.
        gvEmployees.AllowPaging = false;
        gvEmployees.DataBind();
        Session["RecordCountRows"] = gvEmployees.Rows.Count;
        gvEmployees.AllowPaging = true;
        gvEmployees.DataBind();

        // Using Entity count.
        GridView1.DataSource = entities.Employees.ToList();
        GridView1.DataBind();
        Session["RecordCountEntity"] = entities.Employees.Count();
    }
}

Default1.aspx.cs

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    lblCountRows.Text = Session["RecordCountRows"].ToString();
    lblCountEntity.Text = Session["RecordCountEntity"].ToString();
}

VB.Net

Default.aspx.vb

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    If Not IsPostBack Then
        Dim entities As NorthwindModel.NorthwindEntities = New NorthwindModel.NorthwindEntities()
        gvEmployees.DataSource = entities.Employees.ToList()
        gvEmployees.DataBind()

        ' Using GridView Rows count property.
        gvEmployees.AllowPaging = False
        gvEmployees.DataBind()
        Session("RecordCountRows") = gvEmployees.Rows.Count
        gvEmployees.AllowPaging = True
        gvEmployees.DataBind()

        ' Using Entity count.
        GridView1.DataSource = entities.Employees.ToList()
        GridView1.DataBind()
        Session("RecordCountEntity") = entities.Employees.Count()
    End If
End Sub

Hello Sir, It shows the below error.Please help with this,

System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState.this[string].get returned null.

Interrupted_runs.aspx.cs:

    public partial class interrupted_runs : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                BindGrid();
            }
            
        }

        public void BindGrid()
        {
            InterruptedRuns objservice = new InterruptedRuns();
            List<Project> data = objservice.getall();
            if (data != null)
            {
                gvInterrupted.DataSource = data;
                gvInterrupted.DataBind();
                Session["RecordCountRows"] = gvInterrupted.Rows.Count;
                gvInterrupted.DataBind();
                // gvInterrupted.BottomPagerRow.Visible = true;
            }
        }
    }
}

 InterruptedRuns.cs:

namespace Vifex.DAL.Repository.Services
{
    public class InterruptedRuns
    {
        public List<Project> getall()
        {
            List<Project> file = new List<Project>();
            using (VifexDBEntities dbContext = new VifexDBEntities())
            {
                file = dbContext.Projects.Where(x=> x.Status.ToLower() == "error").ToList();
                return file;

            }
        }
    }
}

The page where count is to be shown in label:

    public partial class Dashboard : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                BindGrid();
            }
            VifexDBEntities entity = new VifexDBEntities();
            var result = (from proj in entity.Projects
                          select proj);
            lblTotal.Text = result.Count().ToString();
            //var projectProjectRunning = "SELECT * FROM [InterruptedRuns]";
            //var projectProjectInterrupted = "SELECT * FROM [gvInterrupted]";
            //lblrunning.Text = projectProjectRunning.Count().ToString();
            lblInterrupted.Text = Session["RecordCountRows"].ToString();
        }
        public void BindGrid()
        {
            DashboardService getdata = new DashboardService();
            var project = getdata.getall();
            DashboardGV.DataSource = project;
            DashboardGV.DataBind();
        }   

Please tell me where is  the value assigned to session.

Then the problem is before the GridView gvInterrupted populated your Dashboard page runs.

The sample code which i provided is correct.

Based on the your project flow you need to change the code accordingly.
