AJAX :: Dropdown List Not Binding With CascadingDropDown Extender?

Jun 21, 2010

I am trying to create a cascading dropdown list using two dropdown lists in Visual Studio 2008 Professional connecting to a SQL Server 2008 Standard database on my local machine. I have added the two dropdown lists, as well as a CascadingDropDown extenders from the AJAX Control Toolkit that corresponds with the first dropdown list. The problem I am running into is that despite the fact that I have a CascadingDropDown extender for the first dropdown list so far, and the extender is configured properly, the first dropdown list is showing Unbound in Design view. I also don't see a TargetControlID entry in the properties window for the externder.

I hard coded the TargetControlID to the extender in the Source view and, although I am not receiving any dynamic errors from the TargetControlID entry (meaning, the TargetControlID is a valid parameter, and the dropdown list I entered for that parameter exists on the same page), the dropdown list doesn't populate properly and when in Design view, not only do I not see an entry for the CascadingDropDown extender, but the target dropdown list shows as being "Unbound."

A couple of things I want to point out first:

1) I am using Master pages on this site for the header, footer and navigation. The opening and closing <form> tags, as well as the <ScriptManager> entry are in the Master page, not the content pages. I did this with the assumption that at runtime, each page would have the proper <form> tags and <ScriptManager> entry to function properly.

2) I have been able to add a CascadingDropDown extender to a page in Design view (and it initially displays properly), but by the time I have added all of the properties settings to apply it to its corresponding dropdown list, the entry appears normal in Source view but no longer appears in Design view. When I run the page, the dropdown list does not populate. Obviously, I assume that this is related to the dropdown list showing in Design view as being Unbound, but I don't know how to get the dropdown list to recognize that I have a CascadingDropDown extender that is supposed to apply to it.

Here is what the two elements look like in Source view:

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCompany" runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList>
<ajaxToolkit:CascadingDropDown ID="cddCompanies" runat="server" TargetControlID="ddlCompany" Category="Company" PromptText="Select a Company" LoadingText="Please Wait..." ServicePath="~/CompaniesService.asmx" ServiceMethod="GetCompanies">
</ajaxToolkit:CascadingDropDown>

To create these, I have been following Joe Stagner's example in his video on the topic (http://www.asp.net/ajax/videos/use-aspnet-ajax-cascading-drop-down-control-to-access-a-database) virtually word for word. I have set up two TableAdapters/DataSets, one for each dropdown list, and the datasets are able to accurately pull the appropriate data from the database, so I know those are working properly. I believe the problem is that the dropdown list isn't binding with the CascadingDropDown extender properly. It wouldn't bother me that I don't see a TargetControlID entry in the properies window for the CascadingDropDown extender, although I have a feeling that the absense of that property is related to the fact that the dropdown list is not binding to the extender. I searched online for causes to this problem, but I wasn't able to find any solutions.

AJAX :: CascadingDropDown List - 'undefined' Value When Used With Regular Dropdown?

Jan 5, 2010

I have 2 dropdowns, 1 regular and the other child dropdown has a cascadingdropdown component attached to it.In the past I have used 2 cascadingdropdowns but I'm not sure if the 1st is necessary as it is not being populated by any other dropdown. Can someone confirm this is the case?econdly, in the webservice used by the cascadingdropdown, the key value passed into the webservice function call has 'undefined:x' where x is the value selected. How can I ensure that the category is set correctly? Is this because the parent drop downisn't a cascadingdropdown? Is this a problem, or should I just parse for 'undefined'?

AJAX :: Cascading DropDown List & RadioButton In ModalPopup Extender?

Oct 29, 2010

I am using the newest AJAX control toolkit. What I want to accomplish is I have a modal popup panel with cascading dropdown list and radio button inside. The issue is the postback. RadioButton and Cascading dropdown have postback so that will cause the modal panel disappear after the postback. I just want the panel disappear after I click the ok button on the panel and send the data into a field in a page. What I did was I placed the update panel inside the popup panel. If I did that, I would see the dropdown lists automatically refresh every time by accessing the webservice. If I placed the update panel outside, the dropdown would not be triggered. Even I set the trigger for the Update Panel, it will not see that way.

For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them.

If there is another way to display the item into a label without postback, or someone knows how to sort out this problem,

AJAX :: How To Update Listbox Based On Dropdown Value / Unable To Use Cascadingdropdown

Mar 15, 2010

i have a religion dropdown1 , on this selectedindexchange i have to populate castes into the listbox(not dropdownlist).

i am unable to use cascadingdropdown as it is tightly binded with dropdowns.

please guide me how do i update listbox items based on the dropdown selected value using ajax.

i tried with pagemethods getting the dictionary object using JS function and thought of binding it.

but i am unable to bind the list.

//html code
Religion
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlReligion_RS" runat="server" TabIndex="6" onchange="GetCastes_RS(this.value);">
</asp:DropDownList>
<br />
Caste
<asp:ListBox SelectionMode="Multiple" ID="lstBxCst_RS" runat="server">

//js function
function GetCastes_RS(relgnID)

abc.BLL.Services.AjaxService.GetCastes(relgnID,
function (resp)
{
var ddlCaste= document.getElementById("<%=lstBxCaste_RS.ClientID%>");
ddlCaste.length=0;
var castesList = resp;
alert (resp);
if(castesList.keys.length >0)
{
for(var i=0 ;i< castesList.keys.length;i++)
{
op=castesList.keys[i];
ddlCaste.options[ddlCaste.length]=new Option(castesList.values[i],op);
}
}
},
function(val)
{
alert(val.get_message());
}
);
}

i could call the webmethod, but i am getting this error in javascript.

C# - MVC Dropdown List Isn't Binding To The Model?

Apr 29, 2010

I am trying set up a simple dropdown list but I dont seem to be able to get it to bind to the Model. I am using Asp.Net MVC and nhibernate.

My dropdown list is declared like so:

<%= Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Project, (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewData["Projects"], " -- Select -- ", new { name = "Project" })%>

I set up the select list like so:

ViewData["Projects"] = new SelectList(projectRepository.GetAll(), "EntityGUID", "Name", editEntity.Project);

This seems to bind the select list to the Dropdown fine, but the SelectedValue is not set.
it shows up as the default --- Select ---

Also when I save this data, the dropdown does not bind to the model, I have to manually set the object like so to save it:

entity.Project = projectRepository.GetById(new Guid(Request["Project"].ToString()));

I believe I have take the correct messures to have this item bind directly to my model. Is there something I am missing here?

AJAX :: Dropdown Extender Has A Visual Artifact?

Sep 28, 2010

I am using the dropdown extender with several panels on a single page and when the page loads in anything other than IE 8 (in non-compatibility mode), the panel that I designate to be the dropdown shows on the page floating (and not near the panel being extended). A behavior worth noting is that when I click through all of the dropdowns, the floating panel disappears until the next page refresh.

The version I am using is 3.5.40412.0.

I am interested in learning about the direct answer to this issue or learning some best techniques/practices for debugging issues with the Ajax Toolkit.

AJAX :: Autopostback On The Last List In A Cascading Dropdown List Series/ Invalid Postback Or Callback Argument

Aug 20, 2010

I have a Cascading drop down list that is working fine to load the correct lists however I would like to have the last one initiate a query and display a datagrid on the same page containing the results of the query. Without Ajax involved this seems rather easy by using autopostback on the drop downs. If I could do it through Ajax that would be great but I can settle with having the page to reload to display the data. Right now I'm not sure how to do either. I enabled autopostback on the last drop down and wrote a method for it but I get an error at runtime saying:
