AJAX Combobox Adding New Items Without Autopostback="true"
Jan 25, 2011
Buenos nachos, to be brief, my question is: is it possible to allow users to add new items to a combobox at runtime without having the autopostback property set to true? I understand it needs to postback if a new item is added, but I do not want the box to postback if the user simply selects a different value!
The tag I currently have is below. Without having the autopostback="true", the comboxbox doesn't allow the user to add new items to the box >_<' Any thoughts?
When I do a TextChanged event on slider1 (by dragging the slider, changing the value), the protected void Slider1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) event FIRES, however, the TWO other sliders, protected void Slider2_TextChange, and protected void Slider3_TextChange also FIRES. What gives? why do they fire when I am physically only sliding the slider1 across. The two other sliders values did not change on the webform, yet the event fired.
In order for the event to fire for slider1, I had to insert "Autopostback=true" in the <asp:TextBox ID="Slider1" autopostback="true" OnTextChanged="Slider1_TextChanged">. For <asp:TextBox2> and <asp:Textbox3> I did not put the autopostback event for now.
It took me a little while to figure this out, but the AllowPaging="true" on the FormView seems to be the culprit. I don't have much experience paging from a FormView, but for this requirement the customers wants this kind of UI.I have a FormView with DefaultMode="Edit", which is bound to an EntityDataSource. One of the entity's properties, "ExternalID", determines whether some of the other properties in the entity are read-only. For example, if IsExternal==null, the FirstName, LastName, and Email fields should be rendered as TextBoxes. If IsExternal!=null, the 3 properties should be rendered in Label controls.
I have a dropdown list inside gridview which has a object data source and I am adding the list items as true, false which stores in the database table as a bit value. Even if i am addin the values 1 and 0 to the drop down list, its throwing the below error'grdDebug' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.Parameter name: value My code to add the dropdownlist with list items are as below
I need to manipulate the combobox (from AJAX3.0) in ASP.NET through javascript. The webpage is simple. There is one dropdownlist and one combobox. When the selection of the dropdownlist changes, I need to change the combobox accordingly, may remove a few items or add new items. Right now, I know how to add items into combobox using javascript from the topic:[URL] And I need to how to remove one of the item from the combobox according to a text or just clear all items.
IAm using ASP.NET Ajax. Iam having a Update Panel with DropDownList with AutoPostBack="True" I dont want to postback it, but it going postback, i dont want AutoPostBack="false" .
I wonder how to validate if a inserted item in a Combobox exists in a database during postback? If the item.text exists, a errormessage should notify the user that the item already exists in the database. If the item does not exists in the database a inserting should be done.
Should i use the customvalidator and create a servervalidationfunction that searches my databasetable for the item name?
Should i validate inside one of the two ComboBox control events, ItemInserting and ItemInserted?
After validating the existence i would like to validate if the inserting to the database was successfull.
I have added some combobox and texboxes in gridview dynamically to provide the data entry like operations.i have fetched and reset the value of these dynamically added controls on button click as ->
I've got a server control that renders out a series of dropdownlist and a checkbox that all have autopostback set to true. When the control renders the onchange event binding is not written out!
Controls are defined as protected, named and added to the controls collection in OnInit, and rendered via RenderControl(writer). Page.requiresPostback is also set.
ANy ideas why this might be? I'm scratching my head.
I am getting the following error as 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. when an invalid value is passed in dropdown with autopostback=true. What should I do. I want the solution with "EventValidation=true" and "ValidateRequest=true" in the Page directives. Also without any Custom Error Pages Enabled in web.config file i.e Custom Error Pages are off in web.config file.
i have some question about the autopostback. when i set a drop down menu to autopostback to true, the content editor in the same formview is disappear..
When I place a value in TextBox1 and then click inside TextBox3 (which is there to have a place to go to get out of TextBox1 and TextBox2) the value from TextBox1 remains and is displayed in the MessageBox.Show correctly.
When I pick a value from the drop down calendar extender in TextBox2 for a brief micro-second the value from the calendar displays in TextBox2 and then the MessageBox.Show displays and the value in TextBox2 returns back to the orginally set value. The MessageBox.Show shows the orginally set value.
For TextBox2 if I set AutoPostBack=false then the TextBox2 works correctly and keeps the date picked from the calendar extender but the ontextchanged="TextBox2_TextChanged" never fires.
In the postback option class, the autopostback property is not functioning (for true or false) to forcibly set the the post back event on web page load as defined at the MSDN Url http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.postbackoptions.aspx
A client side validation retrieves the GetPostBackEvent reference successully but fails to to load the page as a forced post back event. The options being set are a) ActionURL, Autpostback , RequiresJavaScriptProtocol and perform validation.
I am having a problem with dropdownlist auto post back set to true...
In my project I have to hide and display two other dropdown lists depends on selected index change of a main dropdown..
I set the auto postback to true and I am hiding and displaying the dropdowns on user selection...Everthing is working fine..
But I am having a very hard time when user types when the dropdown got focus..this is very annoying situation..if type one word its doing a postback and they are unable to type further...
is there any way to fire this onselectedindex change event on blur or on enter key press...is there a way of doing it with java script or jquery...
I'm try to add a combobox to my form which i have done and populate it with the infomation i need but i want to stop the user from being able to edit the first 5 character in the textbox part of the combo box( 1 is this possible 2 am i going about it in the right way).
I have 3 columns fro a db to enter ips ie 123.456.7.89 at the start if each number i want (SE1)(SE2)(SE3) which i can do at the momment . So I get in the combobox list 3 items with (SE1)123.456.7.89 OR just (SE1) depending of i a result is returned from the DB. However i don't want the user to be able to edit out the (SE?) part of the sting in the textbox. When editing i've tried used the text change event to try and capture the change and make sure the string.length > 5 , but the event does not fire also when i leave the combobox it it adds to the combox list. If I refersh it goes back to how it should be with only the 3 items.
it binding correctly(datasource dynamically binded) and it raises event too while changing index but it is not raising event when we manually clearing the combobox text..if currently combobox having text "ASP" then i manually select that entire text and using del key i am deleting but it is not raising event for me.. when i change index it automatically raising event...i need to raise event while combobox is empty...
When I change the value in dropdownList (in browser), it does PostBack, but it selects the first item of list after PostBack - it doesn't save my value.
GetAllDepartments(isDeleted) is a stored procedure, it returns a List of objects with two properties - FieldKey and Name.
