AJAX :: Cascading Dropdowns Using 'webservice'
Apr 13, 2010
This has totally spoiled my .net 4 vs2010 realease day happiness. Running Cascading dropdowns using 'webservice' asmx method. Everything worked on .3.5 and i solved the running 'code In page' method with this post. Method error 500 [URL] Thought I was sorted but seems the rules are totaly different for the 'webservice method'. For example where did ToolkitScriptManager come from Ive been using ScriptManager for years. Anyway below is the Webservice and Page code. Ive looked at and tried everything of the forum but all of it is pre .4. This is demo code, the real version has 3 dependant dropdowns and the lookups are used several times so it HAS to be a webservice. My current theroies are:
1. Permissions- dosent makes sense.
2. Something missing in web.config to enable webservices.
3. Something to do with placement of 'System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService()>'

I've been working on my first version of an ASP.NET app, using cascading dropdowns. I've got 2 dropdowns on a page.
However, the third major control on the page is a details view. It works fantastic, with the cascading dropdowns, to display information from the second dropdown, and allow the user to edit that data. All well and good. But now, in testing, I suddenly realized that I've got no way of displaying the details view if I want to let the user enter new data, which would show some information in the second drop down.

I have 3 dropdowns in my VB.Net 3.5 web app. After a user selects a value from the first (let's call it Countries) the second (called States) should populate correspondingly. Dropdown three (cities) should also cascade down after a State is selected. The Countries and States dropdowns have SQL DataSources. The Cities dropdown has to call 2 procs (based on the selected State value) so it does not have a SQLDataSource. My question is, the code below works for Countries and States, however, I cannot ge the Cities to populate...
<asp:DropDownList ID="drpCountries" runat="server" DataTextField="CountryName" DataValueField="CountryId" DataSourceID="sdsCountries" AutoPostBack="true">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsCountries" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Countries] ORDER BY [CountryName] ASC"></asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="updStates" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="drpStates" runat="server" DataTextField="StateName" DataValueField="StateId" AutoPostBack="true" DataSourceID="sdsStates">
</asp:DropDownList>
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="drpCountries" EventName="SelectedIndexChanged" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsStates" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [states] WHERE StateId = @StateID ORDER BY [StateName] ASC">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="drpCountries" Name="StateID" PropertyName="SelectedValue" DefaultValue="" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
THIS DOES NOT WORK:
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="updCities" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="drpCities" runat="server" DataTextField="CityName" DataValueField="CityId" AutoPostBack="true">
</asp:DropDownList>
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="drpStates" EventName="SelectedIndexChanged" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Protected Sub drpStates_DataBinding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles drpStates.DataBinding
' Call some procs and get a DataSet
drpCities.DataSource = ds
drpCities.DataBind()
End Sub

I have three cascading dropdowns and two of them need to trigger something outside of the dropdowns, so I have OnSelectedIndexChanged events on them. So as to not reload the whole page when these items are triggered, I have all of this in an Update Panel.
Everything works fine -- the only issue that the client doesn't like is that the cascading dropdowns reload on the asynchronous postback.

I am using cascading dropdown list where the no of dropdowns is created dynamically on the page. The cascading drop downs are contained in a User Control. I need to call a method from the Parent page which will be executed when the values in one of the dropdowns change. The server side event is not firing as I have set AutoPostback property for the dropdownlists to be false. How can i make the Page event fired from the Selected index changed of the dropdowns keeping the autopostback property to be set as false.

I have three cascading dropdowns on my web page and they work fine. The issue I am facing is that there are other controls on the page which cause a postback and with each postback the cascading drop downs are being re-populated (service methods are called) which is becoming a performnace issue.

I ultimately need to show countries in one drop down then states/provinces drop down of the previously selected drop down. I'm sure everyone has seen this many times. My page shows the countries but does not show values in the province/states drop down. It's as if the webservice is never run. I've tried removing and adding the ajaxtoolkit reference. The tableadaters run simple working sql code. I'm really at a lose here.
default.aspx:

I have an ASP.NET (VB.NET) page that uses the Cascading Drop Down extender control. The webservice currently has the datasource (e.g. an XML file) hard-coded, based on the CCD example. What I would like to do now is based on the the logged on user, and their Active Directory credentials (at Page Load) programatically select/define which of multiple XML stored on the server should be used by the CDD control. All of the code-behind has been written already, I'm just having a hard time passing the variable generated during Page Load function to the CDD webservice. (Note: The CDD control loads immediately)

Simple and blunt: my cascading dropdownlists clear when a postback occurs. Does anyone know a quick way around that?For more information, read on...
I have 5 dropdown lists that define a training class location and line of business: Site, Parent Client, Client, Program, Project I'm trying to build cascading dropdownlists that can work from any direction (i.e. select a site and all other lists are filtered by site...select a project and all other dropdown lists are filtered by project). I've built the SQL Select statement behind the lists that filters (accurately).

I'm having a problem with a dropdown throwing an error:
Uncaught Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException:
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation.Only Sometimes.
I am using an updatepanel, with a bunch of dropdowns that have an onchange for Javascript, that use ajax (partial page postback). The problem is: I have two dropdowns at the top (also inside the updatepanel) that let me change the current month or year. Sometimes...they change the page (response.redirect), and sometimes they throw that error above. Also, they are the Only two buttons on the page that aren't doing an "onchange" and then ajax stuff....they are actually posting back the entire page to the server (or trying to).

I am showing state,city, zipcode in cascaded format. I designed cascade dropdown with asp dropdown list controls. I am loaing the citys & zipcode based on selection index changed.. here when I am selecting city the request is sending to server & its loading citys....
I don't want see post back operation on my page when I am selecting city & zipcode. So I am thinking to use Ajax cascade dropdown list to avoid sending the request for each selection.
If I use Ajax Cascade dropdownlist can i cascade the loading of citys & zipcode without using webservices?
If I use only webmethods for cascade dropdown it will work ?

I've got a bit of a problem UpdatePanelAnimationExtenders. Here's an example of the code structure I have:
[Code]....
Now here's my problem. When dd1 triggers the postback both dd1 and dd2 get disabled (instead of just dd1) and after the request is complete only dd1 gets enabled back. The behaviour is also true the other way around (if dd2 triggers the postback both dropdowns get disabled but only dd2 gets enabled back). I'm not really sure what to make of this.

I have a web page devoloped in visual studio 2008.I have 4 dropdowns and a repeater in the page.based on the selection(search criteria) from the dropdowns the repeater value will change and one dropdown selection will bind values to the other dropdown also.Since the page is causing a lot of postback we decided to implement ajax here.I am yet to learn ajax.which ajax control replace dropdowns?
i have already server side code written on all dropdowns.Please give me a good solution which i can implement in less time and reuse my code.One more update: i have a master page used in the project.I am using update panel of ajax which does not work if i use master page.(That means all the dropdown controls and repeater i put it in update panel.But still page postback occurs.)In a normal page(without master page) it works?

I am new to Ajax Control Toolkit, with the help of online tutorials I had created a cascading dropdown list in asp.net and tested it on my local machine. For this dropdown list data source would be an xml file (which is saved on my local machine c drive). I haven't encountered any issues until I deploy the precompiled web site on to IIS 7. When I open the web site from IIS I would see the two dropdown boxes on the web page with an error "Method error 500". I believe this error occured due to incorrect xml file
path provided on IIS. I had copied xml and xsd files into IIS server C drive but it did not help out and then I created a network map and placed the xml and xsd files in that shared folder tried to access that path from web service, it's working on local machine but not on IIS. It would be great, if any one could explain me the solution.
Following is the .aspx and .asmx code:
