AJAX :: Implementing Cascading Dropdownlist Using Updatepanel And Updateprogress Only?
Jun 16, 2010
at last project i need to deploy cascading dropdownlist without using web serive or cascadingDropDownList Extender
i try to do this using updatepanel :D this work , but at many times that apear my computer and my internet Explorer as busy and hang and i can not do any thing untill populate the second dropdownlist :(
is there any way to avoid that and to view a wait message until populate the second dropdownlist , i mean is there a sample code for doing that
I have a Submit button and some functionality like updating DB and fetching next page in the button click event. This process takes a long time and I want to display a message saying "Progress...." right after clicking the botton. I want to do the same in 20 other pages. So, best way to do it wd be to put the modalpopup MPE or an Updateprogress in a usercontrol or in master page. I first tried putting both of these on the page itself to test and see and neither worked.
I tried using Update progress control with a dummy updatepanel and giving the Submit button as Asyntrigger to the dummy updatepanel. I have also tried using MPE but it didnt work either. Below is an example of what i did..
It seems UpdateProgress will be displayed covering the entire area of the UpdatePanel. I want to replicate this behavior using plain javascript, as this behavior needs to be done for a windows client form. Are there any javascript libraries available? I am using a Browser control inside windows client form to get results and render them.
I am using UpdatePanel and UpdateProgress on my webform. On my page_Load, I am checking some of the session variable if thats null then I have to redirect to my other page. Now, as I have updatePanel, we cannot use Response.Redirect so I have this code to redirect to my other page after checking that session variable.
[Code]....
But the problem is that my page continues execution after this line. I want to immediate transfer my page to this other page just like Response.Redirect but it keeps executing and redirects at last. If it comes to this line of code, I immediately want to redirect to my other page.
I want to trigger two Async Postbacks at once using UpdatePanel's via their associated buttons such as the example at the end of [URL] When you click the first button, then immediately click the second button, the first button's message never gets updated. By clicking the second button, the first async Post back seems to be cancelled. Why does this happen?
I saw this article about only allowing one postback to occur at a time here: [URL] Is this the desired behavior for Multiple update panels? Can only one run async code at once? What's the point of it being async if you can't do multiple at once? Here's what I'm trying to do overall: I want a webpage where I click a button which causes C# code to search a certain webpage and parse it. Based on the parsed information, it should automatically start searching multiple other webpages. All the while, I want the web UI to be updated with the progress.
Button Press and the client UI says "Searching..." Then the webpage is found so I want to display "Parsing..." Then the webpage parsing is complete and multiple other websites are searched at the same so the UI will display:
Then when the Webpage 1 -3 are done updating, they change their progress message to Complete. I just started looking into ASP a few days ago and I have two ideas how to approach this problem: zy first idea was to use UpdatePanels and UpdateProgress because they seemed easy to get in there. However, the part of updating multiple webpage status messages at once doesn't appear to be possible since I can't have two UpdatePanels updating at the same time to make changes to the client UI. The one that is started second takes over the processing and the client UI isn't refreshed until that second asynch postback is complete. Ideally, there would be a way to refresh the UpdatePanel's mid postback............
Anyone knows how to do this? I have three distinct updatepanels on my page, and they're all unrelated. If possible, I would like the user to be able to interact with the other updatepanels while one is refreshing, or at least show which one is refreshing by only covering this with a div+animated gif.
In a nutshell I have an UpdatePanel with an UpdateProgress item, first postback checks for warnings, if there are any they will be be displayed to the user as a JavaScript 'confirm' box. If the user clicks OK the next postback occurs to commit the change.
The UpdateProgress loading notification appears on the first postback but not on the second, even though both of them function correctly. The buttons that trigger both postbacks are async postback triggers in the update panel, and both are inside the ContentTemplate.
I have a wep page. Its consists of some controls along fileupload controls. My page Fully placed into UpdatePanel. when i press the submit all contols values and file upload file should be stored into back end.i used vs2008 framework 3.5.
Note: for fileUploading perpose i should write trigger with postback on submit button.while processing the submit button action i want to show some processing (progressing) controls like round rotation like..shall i place on ajax toolkit 4.0 instead of 3.5.
I'm trying to put a updateprogress into a webpage where selection from the dropdownlist causes postback. Works out well except that on the first postback, the gif image shows on the leftside rather than on the center. On succeeding postback, it will show on the centre where I intend it to be. Below is my code:
1. Button_openPanel will display panel Step2Panel through ModalPopupExtenderStep2.
2. Button_runThread (inside Step2Panel) will close Step2Panel and will then run a lengthy process server-side. This lengthy server-side process will cause the UpdateProgress control to be displayed.
Similar to the ModalPopup, I want to disable the whole page while the UpdateProgress control (with its animation gif) is running. Currently, the UpdateProgress is displayed, but I can click Button_openPanel (or anything else) which will cause the application to break.
Is this possible?
This is basically all the code. I stripped anything that was unneeded:
[Code]....
The code-behind is basically this:
[Code]....
Everything's working pretty good now, but I need to disable everything while the time-consuming process is running and UpdateProgress is displayed.
I was thinking of displaying the UpdateProgress control as a a sort of ModalPopup, but I'm not sure if it's possible. If not, then the alternative would be to disable Button_openPanel while the time-consuming process is running and UpdateProgress is displayed.
I'm trying to use below simple code for ajax postback. With file upload, neither javascript the "function startRequest" ever triggers, the file control shows null value somemore.Earlier I had Update progress which didn't work with file upload ever so I removed it. Now I just want to disable the button as the file is uploaded and its inputs are processed in the background. Once the response comes back, the "submit" button is re-enabled.But the file-upload with Updatepanel doesn't work at all. What am I doing wrong,
I am referring to following line from this link [URL] ....
data 'continentId ' 'ddlContinents.ClientID'.val ''
In your code. i tried using this code and facing a tiny problem. In above mentioned code 'ddlContinents.ClientID'.val stores integer value in contentId for obvious reasons but the requirement of my code is different. i want to pass text which is selected instead of id no.for example if mumbai is listed as second option and i select mumbai it should store mumbai in contentId instead of 2 i.e. integer value.
I am trying to get two cascading dropdownlist to work but cannot get either to populate. How do I de-bug this? I'm not getting any errors, just blank dropdowns.
I've been trying to fill in webservice from SQL Server. But in-case this was the problem. I found an example on this site to fill with test values, but this still does not work. Since I cannot even get first to populate, to simplify I'm just giving code for first dropdown and its function(s)
I am trying to select some data with dropdown lists which are related.
I select one of selection in dropdownlist1. After that, when my page reloads, dropdownlist2 is filled with table name which i am trying to get data from. (TBLYETKILI)
I think this needs to be a sticky since this is not solved anywhere that I have been looking... I have been googling this for a while now and came across the answer by shear luck and a simple typo when I was writing the code...
Problem: I have 2 dropdown lists...
ddllist1 and ddlist2... Both are code-behind populated via a sql DB.
they are cascading lists via the ajax control.
I am trying to dynamically populate them with values from a DB for edit reasons.
When I try to get them populated I kept getting the error...
"dropdownlist has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items"
Solution:
1) get the values from the DB or from where ever...
2) create a sql select to get the values from the ddl db
3) set the ID of the first DDL control to cddcontrol1.SelectedValue = id (this is a number)
4) set the value of the DDL to the string value ddlist2.SelectedValue = value (this is a string)
I am dealing with a problem that i have to make decision based on the number of items in a cascading dropdownlist. unfortunately this ajax toolkit control does not expose a Items collection.how do i count the number of items in this control ?
I'm wanting to maintain the dropdownlist values that were selected when i use postbackurl with a button. They cascading dropdowns are on a masterpage in an accordion pane. I select the 3 vales in the ddl and then presss a button which redirects to the new content page.
I've been able to get the values using previousPage.master.fincontrol... but am then setting the selectedValue in the page_init of the conent page, but they aren't set when the page loads... does anyone know where to put the code to set the values?
Now i'm working on the cascading dropdownlist for to bind a country and city, city is based on country dropdownlist. its working well , if city comes more than 8000 records in city dropdownlist , takes more to bind city.
I really have no idea on this problem on the cascading dropdownlist. I have a cascading dropdownlist that bind with calling the web services.
I wan to do a autopostback to get the value of the Album GUId so that i can query out all the photo list of that album. it is working well if my page without the AlbumGUId query string.
my problem is:
when i redirect from other page and passing the Album GUId querystring to this page, it will display all my photo for this album guid. but when i change the album to Select which should be able to display all the Photos, it cannot display out. It only will work is when i choose another album and then go back to Select then it only can work..
I'd like to set the selected value of cascading dropdownlist by reading from a Textbox.Text value when the dropdownlist has been populated, is this possible?
I have two dropdownlist in cascading working, in my file file.aspx, all work good.the selected values from cascading dropdownlist bind my repeater. when select item inside repeater redirect me to second.aspx. when comeback to first.aspx i lose all selected values in cascading dropddowlist and also values in repeater.
i can populate cascading dropdownlist by using webservice now. but may i know how do i trigger function while selectedindex changed? (without using auto postback...)
