ADO.NET :: Validating DropDownList Populated With Data From SQL DataTable
Dec 30, 2010
i have one simple question; do I have to... or is there any need to validate value from DropDownLists that are populated from SQL Datatables. I know how to validate them, but I am just concerned about potential SQL Injection, because those DropDownLists are going to be "Input fields" for a new Datatable, and insted of using TextBoxes, user will choose values from those DDL's and Submit them (INSERT INTO) to SQL Datatable. Is there a way for a "hacker" to insert his item value into DropDownList. I hop You understand what I mean!?
I have 2 dropdown lists on a WebForm. One of them is populated in the page's Page_Load event. This oneworks fine with the following code.
[Code]....
Then, after a value is selected from this list and a date is selected from a DateTime picker, then I click a button which is supposed to populate the 2nd dropdownlist. In the debugger in the button's click event I can see that the dataset is being populated with data, but then the list is never populated after the DataBind() method is run. Here is code from the button's click event.
I have a gridview which contains a templatefield. Inside this is an ImageButton and a dropdownlist. This is all created in the aspx page, although the ddl list items are populated in the RowDataBound event in the vb page. When i change the selected item in the drop down list and hit the imagebutton, the selected item is not maintained after postback. Instead the first record is displayed in the dropdownlist. I have wrapped an If Not Page.IsPostback around the datasource and databind's but this doesn't help. I have tried enabling viewstate in all areas on the page too, but still nothing. The list items for the ddl must be created on RowDataBound also. As far as I am aware, my ddl is not really dynamic, its just the list items which I add in the code behind which are classed as dynamic.
I have Gridview with Dropdownlist which contains data as {select,1,2,3} .Gridview contains multiple rows of data.Submit button is also on form but outside gridview. If any of the rows of gridview dropdownlist contain value as "Select" and click Submit button ,give message as "Please select value". I want to do this stuff using javascript.
I have created a gridview with dropdownlist in asp.net(c#).i want to validate dropdownlist using jvascript.if i dont select anything from dropdownlist that time script shud display a message.i don know how to get the name or id of that dropdownlist
I can't seem to get any sort of validator to fire when validating my DropDownList. I just want to make sure that it isn't left at "--Select--" when the user presses the Add button on the page. I've tried a range validator and required field validator and neither seem to fire at all. My DropDownList contains ID which is an int that is hidden and Name which is a string that is displayed. The ID is -1 for "--Select--". I use these all the time and can't understand why the page in this new solution is any different from other solutions I have done in the past. What have I missed?
I have a DropDownList populated with a SQL Stored Procedure. On the page, there is also a button that when pressed, processes the contents of the dropdownlist. I would then like the dropdownlist to automatically remove the selection, and if there is nothing left in the dropdownlist, I would also like the button to be disabled.
I have two drop down lists on my page. One (DropDownList A) has the values preset by me. The other (DropDownList B) has its values filled by a database query if a button is pressed. Each of them have AutoPostBack set to true. Each of them have corresponding onselectedindexchanged functions. DropDownList A works fine. When I change it, I want it to turn itself invisible. It does. DropwDownList B is not working. When I select something, it does the postback but the selected item is reset and the onselectedindexchanged function is never called. I feel like this is a problem I've solved in the past, but it's been 3 years since I programmed ASP.NET. All this is done in C# by the way.
i am currently working on a webform that has several dynamically populated dropdown lists. this works just fine, however, i have other web controls that require to have a postback..and at the time the page postsback, it reloads my dropdownlists, reseting whatever option i had chosen...
I need to populate a dropdownlist with results from a linq query done in my controller. I want users to be displayed but when the item is selected and submitted, the userid is passed back to the controller.my controller:
hi,i am creating form of purchase order . so i am using a datatable to get data from textbox, dropdownlist and then i want to display that data in gridview and after that do store that data to table in database . but due to some reason , its not working
Item Selected in MediaTypeDDL determines values in MediaFormatDDL. I'm using Javascript to populate MediaFormatDDL. This is working. I now select the item I want from MediaFormatDDL. That works The problem I'm seeing occurs when I press the button to save the values from the screen. I don't see the Item I selected from MediaTypeDDL. All the other fields are okay. This must be someThing simple, but I'm not seeing it.
I have a dynamic dropdown that is populated from sql. The user is supposed to select an option from the dropdown, then click a search button on the form to return some results based on that selection. It works fine if the dropdown gets populated with more than one record. However, if only one record is returned, that one record can't be selected. Whether you select it or just leave it alone since it's the only one, when you click the form button (search button), no results are returned b/c the dropdown selection must not be actually selected.
I've included the relevant code below. First the DDL, then the datasource, and finally the C# code in the if (!Page.IsPostBack)
I'm populating a DropDownList using JS on the client and validating with a RequiredFieldValidator.This works fine on the client but the Page.IsValid consistently comes back false on the server.Is this because the selected value wasn't in the DropDownList when it was first served to the page?What's the easiest way around this? (I need to leave server validation turned on)
When I use the code below an error accur when click add button to insert into sql because the selected value in DropDownList is back to --select-- Idon't know why it should be the the value I selectedbut when not use this code and bind the DropDownList using wizard it works but I need to use the code to make the first selection is --select--.
private void PopulateDropDownList() { string constr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[1].ConnectionString; using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr)) { using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT Country_ID,Country_Name FROM Country", con)) { using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd)) {
My issue is similar to [URL] how-to-use-the-value-of-a-selected-value-from-a-dropdownlist-populated-with-ajax but I am using ASP.NET, not PHP. I have a dropdownlist that is populated by another dropdownlist's current value through ajax. So if DDL A is 'NY', DDL B is populated with different data relating to 'NY'. I need that data to be posted back to the server because this affects an SQLDataSource parameter. However, as far as I can tell, the value is always null after postback resulting in the gridview to be empty.
I have a Gridview and two link button in that GridView , one link button click is to add edit row ( Edit ), one link button click is to select row ( Select ). I have a dropdownlist inside row which selected when i click link button Select in the gridview edit template, as of my business logic i need to show the dropdownlist only when the user clicks Edit button and when the user clicks Select button . That mean when the user clicks Select button then they clicks Edit button on the gridvview i should allow him to edit the dropdownlist (showing the value to the user through a label).
ASPX CODE
[Code].... C#
When I click Select link button , then I click Edit link button . They have errors : Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index" I don't know what error?. How to fix it
Which one is faster? For a dropdownlist binding it the first time and using ViewSate or Turning of viewstate, keeping the data in a static datatable and binding the dropdownlist each time on a postback
I am trying to use a datasource with a dropdownlist. Eventually, my data source method to call a stored procedure and load the datatable is returns, but for now, I am just creating the datatable manually. I need each item to have two attributes, the text, whixh the user will see in the DDL, and the value that the program will retrieve from and store back to the file.
It is partly working in that the DDL has 3 items, however the text for each item reads "System.Data.DataRowView"
I have to be close, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
I will get required data from the web method that returns as table!!!
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod] public static DataTable call(String code) { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
