Can The Value And Text Properties Of A Dropdown List Be Used Independently
Mar 8, 2011
Can these two properties of a dropdown list in ASP.NET be used independently?
I wanted to retrieve a null value when the user selects some text; I couldn't as it retrieves the Text property whenever the Value is null. Eg:
l1 = new ListItem("Cat", null);
Console.WriteLine(l1.Value);
The output is
Cat
In another situation, when both the properties have different strings, I get the string in the Value property when I use the Text property. Eg:
l2 = new ListItem("Cat", "Mouse");
DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
ddl.Items.Add(li);
ddl.SelectedIndex = 0;
Console.WriteLine(ddl.SelectedValue);
Console.WriteLine(ddl.Text);
The output is
Mouse
Mouse

First, a user select a country from a dropdown list. The selected item & its value are store in a seesion. Then the user leaves this page.
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="US" Selected="True">USA</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="AF">Afghanistan</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="AL">Albania</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
Dim arr(1) as string
arr(0) = ddl1.SelectedItem.ToString
arr(1) = ddl1.SelectedValue
Session("arr") = arr
Later on, the user may come back to the page and change the selection of the country. However, I want the dropdown list to remember the previously selected item and value. The item name and its value are now stored in an array. How do you assign it to the dropdown list as pre-selected.

I'm building a small website using ASP.net/C# and I wanted to know how to implement a simple search feature using a text box and a dropdown.
The datasource is a products table and in the text box I enter the product's name and in the dropdown are the categories. (I have managed to populate the dropdown with the available categories already)
It must follow these conditions:
If both text box and dropdown are blank all products must be listed;
If a category is chosen all products from that category must be listed;
If only text is filled, all products that match are shown;

I am stuck at this point "Displaying a dropdown list of Categories with a --None -- Option. I want the gridview control to display 2 dropdown list one in read-only mode and the other in edit mode. When a record is in read-only mode, the dropdownlist's enabled property will be set to false."When it's on a read-only mode, it doesn't display the selected Category. it shows but the "No Category". When i click on edit to edit or change category, it doesn't display the selected category.
The example is given below( I am reading the book Sams Teach yourself ASP.NET 2.0 by Scott Mitchell. page 628)

I have 2 drop down lists.I have a very simple dropdown list #1 that diplays a title and holds an id value which is a GUID.I know it is getting this value and sending this value as I tested sending it to a label.I have the dropdown list #1 to autopostback to dropdown list #2 that "Is supposed to get" another title and value based on the GUID value of the first dropdown list. for some reason it wont return anything. I have done 100's of these but never based off a guid value.I assume the value needs to be converted to guid before selecting it in the second dropdown list.How can I do this? or is there something I am missing?

Clicking the label of a drop down list, re-sets the selected value to the first item in the list. This has a history of causing data entry problems when users accidently click on the label.
In the below example ddlContactType has a selected value as 'PRIMARY' and whenever i click on the lblContactType Text, the dropdown box Selected value is changing to "Select One" Text.
How to prevent this one. It should be on PRIMARY Only.
<p>
<tr> <td ><asp:Label ID="lblContactType" Font-Bold="true" Text="Contract Type: *" ForeColor= "red" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="ddlContactType"></asp:Label> </td> <td > <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddlContactType" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" AppendDataBoundItems="true"
DataTextField="TYPE" DataValueField="ID" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CONTACT_TYPE_ID") %>'>
<asp:ListItem Text="Select One" Value="0" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem>.......

I have a databound dropdownlist and have a problem with the default value it selects.When I attempt to edit a record the dropdownlist shows the first value in the list rather than the current value. I want the dropdown list to display the current value.
I'm sure this is very simple but I'm very new to ASP.NET.
I'm using .NET version 4.

I'm trying to progam a strongly typed "Create" view using MVC 3 and razor. I want the user to be able to select a customer from a dropdown list (I populated this from my database using ViewBag in the controller). When the user has selected a customer I want a separate dropdown list to generate a list of dogs belonging to that customer related by the customerID in the database. The create button on the form will then take both of these values along with the the other fields and save it to the database.

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:
Invalid postback or callback argument

I'm designing my own custom control that contains a .NET dropdownlist. What I'm wondering is if it is possible to populate my dropdownlist with listitems placed in a placeholder? For example:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlFilter" runat="server" >
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="ListItemPlaceholder" runat="server"/>
</asp:DropDownList>
This doesn't work because the DropDownList control only allows ListItems as child controls. But, I want to do something similar to this so when the user includes my control on a page, they can do something like this:
<mytag:MyControl Mode="DropDown" runat="server">
<ListItemTemplate>
<asp:ListItem Text="C" Value="c"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="E" Value="e"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="B" Value="b"></asp:ListItem>
</ListItemTemplate>
</myTag:MyControl>
I know I can do this by dynamically adding the ListItems in the page code behind, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
