DataSource Controls :: How To Update Data Information In The Database Using Dropdown List
May 19, 2010
I build a webpage to edit the data entry, all the textbox wroks fine. However when I update the value originally took in using dropdown list , I get error and couldn't get correct update.
On my website, registered users can make a profile about themselves suchas name, Favoirite color, hobbies, etcI have a DataTable called User which hold this information.also there are other datatables for Hobbies and Colors which list all possible options.To let the user update their choices I have a FormView in Edit mode on the aspx page whichis binded to the UserTable with a GetProfileByUserId Method and objectdatasource.
Within the formview, i have added drop down lists that are binded to the hobbies and Colors tables so they can edit their previous selection.On clicking Uodate update formview calls an Update Method that adds new selections to the User databaseNow I have two questionsIs it possible to show in the dropdown list the selected value that the User has already made?If the user only changes hobbies and not colors when they click update will a null value be passed into the data table for colors that replaces their previous selection?
I want to insert into database with the following code. I want the Appliers instead of Choice to be inserted. Now this code insert the Choice field only
I have a ASP.NET AJAX Autocomplete Textbox and Two other dropdownlist in a Update Panel. On selection of an item in Autocomplete Textbox, I want to populate Dropdown list from Database.
I have a repeater which contains dropdown list in it.
The items in the dropdown list are all the same at fist.
But if i select a item in one dropdown, then the selected item will be deleted in the other dropdown list.
For example A, B, C, D,E are the five items in dropdown list, and repeater has three lines.
If A is selected in the dropdown list in the first line of repeater, then the dropdown list in the other lines will only have four items to select, they are B, C, D, E.
If then D is selected in the dropdown list in the third line of repeater, then the dropdown list in the second line will only have B, C, E to choose.
I can do this in csharp code, how can i do it in .aspx page?
Using C# and sql server. I have a gridview which is populated using a sql query. I have 5 columns in the gridview ( projectid,project name,description,date,status). I'm using the Edit/update option that is available in the gridview to edit/update a user selected row. When I use this Text boxes appear. I want to have a drop down list for status instead of a text box with values Started,Inprocess,Complete, Inhold.
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 am very new to coding in asp.net, I've never done anything before, but heres my problem, I have a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database, and basically I need to be able to search that database by 3 different things, basically there is tons of data, and I need to be able to search by a member ID, a location, and a group name So basically I wanted a drop down list, with these 3 column names, and than a search box where you can actually type in what you are looking for, than have the results display, I have been trying to do this with gridview, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly
I am using an SQL Express server hosted on a different machine and it is listed in my server explorer just fine. It is listed as my connection string in my web.config just fine as well and lastly it seems to sync just fine with my asp.net membership tables. My question is does it need to be listed in my app data folder of my site? Currently I have the ASPNETDB.mdf connection listed, which is apparently just a local sql express connection. The database I am using in my webconfig and other files is not listed so do I need to add it there?
Second question is about DAL, Data Access Layers. I have mostly been using presentation level SQL commands with my data presentation controls. Manually entering separate select, insert and update statements. I just went through a tutorial that stated the best way to interact with your database in asp.net is with DAL using table adapters. It mentioned that it gives you the ability to use strongly-typed references to each row. My question is can I use the same method multiple times on a single page. For instance a method inside an adapter named GetProductsByID(@ID) ? What if I want this bound to three different gridviews on a single page? Anyone have any other general things to point out about using DAL over presentation level commands?
I have created an asp.net customizable gridview where user will be able to add and delete data. Now I face some proplem with this gridview. now I want to add a dropdown list (which is dynamically bind with database) inside the grid. I created code and it bind well. when the page is post back previous selected dropdown list value lose and set to selectedIndex=0; For this reason I used if(!page.Ispostback) and put the dropdown binding code inside this. Here I faced a problem. The problem is when I want to add data inside grid the dropdownlist missin bind. How can I overcome this problem? For your kind observation I given entire code below:
It's probably something small but I can't seem to find what went wrong. I am trying to insert information into my database. It goes through the code just find but it doesn't insert into my database. Here's my code:
Basically the main page has a couple of DataSourceObjects sucking information from a local database and displaying them on the page. The page is a form, which then generates an HTML email and fires it off using the SMTPClient. The problem is that I cannot seem to get the data from the database to be accessable from the code-behind. Attempting to get data from either of the ListViews results in a number of Null Exception errors, mainly when using the ExtractItemValues method. The OrderedDictionary that comes back always seems to be empty. So I figured I'd use one of the 3 Object Data Sources I already have set up, that queries the actual database, but cannot find any way of calling the Select statement present in either of them, let alone managing to store and access what comes back.
I am working in asp.net 3.5 with c# and sqlserver 2005 as database. I my project i have to select some of the checkbox of a gridview and update the database according to that. I want to store all the selected box in a arraylist and update the database according to the selected list . But i am not getting how to proceed.
I have a website that displays information from my database into a gridview. The gridview has a checkbox, that once selected, is suppose to move a 'Y' into the field that has the checkbox selected. I have it generating the code, and displaying the code on my page to confirm, but the database is not being updated. Here is my code,
I'm using Content Management System, DotNetNuke for my dynamic website. DNN itself they have one database, I named it dnnDB. Inside the dnnDB they have the users table which have the list of users. I need to be able to pull this set of information or synchronize to my own database, myDatabase for development purposes. I do not want to incorporate my database into dnnDB, afraid that I may corrupt the system.
