DataSource Controls :: Linking A FormView And DropDownList Together With SQL?
Jan 19, 2010
I'm having trouble linking a form view I have on a web page with a drop down list on the same page. Basically, what I need to happen is whenever a new selection is chosen from the drop down list, the details in the form view should also change to represent that selection's criteria.
I have my drop down list connected to SQLDataSource1 and my form view to SQLDataSource2, and these are populating as expected, it's just the problem lies when changing the selection in the drop down list - the form view doesn't follow what is selected.
does anything have to be added in the properties options of either the data source controls or the form view? For example, in the "Events" section, there is a "DataBinding" and "DataBound" selection item that can be used - should anything be entered in this to connect the two?
PS - Here is the code I have in the back end of the page:

I have a page with a datalist and a formview. The page holds a newsletter and access to archived newsletters. I have set up the datalist so that each item contains a button control with a bound text. The formview holds an object with a bound data attribute. I have the page running with linq and the intitial page populates perfect. What I need to do though is be able to click a button in the datalist and have the formview rebind to the correlating data.

i have a job application process where users apply for a job, in the admin section administrators want to be able to see which applications have not been viewed. Now i have one page which lists all the job vacancies and then users can click into that specific vacancy to see which people have submitted an application. This all works fine.
However on the page i display the job vacancies i need to make it so that if there are any applications within a vacancy that need viewing it appears in RED.
The two tables i am using are below:
tbl_vacancies
job_id
job_name
location
voucher
details
availability
region
date_added
tbl_applications
application_id
job_id
fname
sname
other_info
.
.
.
.
date_addedd
viewed
Now the viewed column is in tbl_applications table, the applications relate to a specific vacancy via the job_id.
So what i need to check is IF there are ANY applications where the viewed = 0, if so that means that there are applications that need to be seen, and i want this to appear in RED.
Now i tried this several ways i.e an INNER JOIN etc.. but the full list of vacancies won't appearing.
So i tried this:
[Code]....
[Code]....
This doesnt work at all. I have a datareader which runs through the returns, i don't get any errors, and the applications display correctly but when i use the IF to check it doesnt work..

How do I insert the selections made on several checkboxes into the WHERE clause of a SQL SELECT statement? The scenario is as follows: the user selects one or more checks in different check boxes to determine the rows to be parsed in a SQL table. Then the user clicks on a Submit button and the result fills a Repeater table. How do I do this, and how do I configure the button to launch the SelectCommand?

I'm attempting to hook up multiple DropDownLists to a single SQLDataSource, but I want the SQLDataSource to return different rows depending on which DropDownList it is populating.
Say I have a table full of names (we'll call it TABLE_NAMES):
[code]....
....and I have two dropdown lists, one with a list of person names and one with a list of dog names.
Is there a way to link up each of these dropdown lists to a single SQLDataSource and use the SelectParameter to differentiate between which records I want returned for each dropdown list?
To make matters worse, these dropdown lists will appear within a GridView control....so there will be multiple instances of each dropdown list depending on how many rows there are in the GridView.

My website is working but when I host it up, the connection are all screw up. Is it because my connectionString are all linked via SqlDatasource and is for local files only? Whats the coding that I need to put in so that my site will connect to the database via accessing the web.config or server?

am trying to use a stored procedure for the Delete Command, I don't see how to set the parameter values to link to the grid values.When using text command, I would just use "WHERE Row_ID = @Row_ID" (Row_ID being the first column of the grid, and the primary key of the table.)How do I do this using a strored procedure?
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:myConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="usp_MA_Lookup_Callbacks" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure"

Hi, i am newbie to asp.net. In my page there is a formview with sqldatasource. In which there is a dropdownlist wrapped with an updatepanel. What i'm trying to do is the re-bind ddlStudents after adding new row to the students table (using gridview and
ajax popup extender-both working fine, i'm being able to add new )
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="ddlUpdatePanel" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlStudents" runat="server"
DataSourceID="sdsStudents"
DataValueField="studentID"
DataTextField="name"
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("studentID") %>' >
asp:DropDownList>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsStudents" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:myConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT studentID, name FROM tblStudents">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
after closing the popup,
Protected Sub btnClose_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If IsPostBack Then
ddlUpdatePanel.Update()
ddlStudents.DataSourceID = "sdsStudents"
ddlStudent.DataBind()
modalPopupPanel.Hide()
End If
End Sub
I am getting error;
Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

One of the fields on my formview is a dropdownlist. When I go into edit mode the dropdownlist gets set to the correct value and works fine up to this point. Problem is I just can't see how to get the newly selected value of the dropdownlist to persist to the database when update is clicked. The DDL is a category list and I want to allow changing of the category for each record. Like I said I have it working so it displays the correct category for the record but if I change the DDL (change category) the new selected value doesn't get updated in the database. It just keeps using the binded value that was originally assigned to the selected value of the DDL. see code snippit
[Code]....
The above snippet is how I am binding the DDL. Now to not bore you with a ton of code paste I use various events of the formview to make sure the value displayed in the DDL is correct for the record that I am viewing at the time. All that works just fine. Where I need some pointers is the when I enter edit mode and change the DDL from say fire to ice it isn't getting persited to the database, all other info in the record gets updated just fine but the DDL never changes. I have tried several angles to getting this working and TBH my brain is yelling BREAK TIME.

I'm populating a dropdownlist in a formview with a different datasource from the formview's. I need to set the selected value according to the value in the formview's datasource but I'm having a hard time doing that.
Here's the code:

DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">

I have a ddl inside the formview that I can't figure out how to wire up properly. The formview contains detail info, but the ddl needs to list the entire set to items. Then I want the ddl's selected value be set from the recordset intended for the formview. I think it's just a timeing issue s I would like your help. Thanks, - EJM.

I have a dropDownlist in a Formview Edit and Insert Template that is Bound to a Field, It is for a credit card expiration date, so I want to programatically populate it so it will automatically show the next 8 years from this year. Works fine!
Except When I add it to the Formview, and click on edit it gives me an error basically saying my record does not match the list item data, but it should since it shows the year just fine. So I am figuring that it is not binding the ListItems to the dropdownlist.
I have tried every event I could try and I always get the same error. I have tried the ModeChanged, DataBound, DataBiding, PreRender, Load on both the Formview and the DropDownList, but no go. How do I do this?

This works fin on a DropDownList that is not in a FormView, so I know its not the Code. and the record I am updating is 2010, so the record is not out of range

On my formview I have a drop down list that is populated with the names of the files in a certain directory. This works fine, but when the drop down list selected value is bound to the database field I get the following error :
'ImageFileDropDownList' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value
I have setup other drop down lists in the same formview populated from SqlDataSources and these all work fine. I can see perhaps why this is an issue because I have not specified a DataValueField or a DataTextField for this drop down that is populated in code (whereas I can for the SQL bound ones) because I'm not sure what these settings would be.
I need to have a "blank" option as well so that the field does not default to the first value in the list.

I'm using a FormView which has odsMain as the datasource. I am also using a dropdownlist which is being populated with objectdatasource odsddl.
I'd like to set the selectedvalue of the dropdownlist with the value contained in odsMain (the current record value for it). Is there any way this can be done?

I have a FormView with an EditTemplate.And the EditTemplate contains an ascx control:
<asp:FormView
ID="fvTicketUpdate"
runat="server"
[code]...
The contents of the ascx control has TextBox and DropDownList controls binding to the results of the FormView's ObjectDataSource through Text='<%# Eval("field1") %>'and SelectedValue='<%# Eval("field2") %>'.This works fine and I have been building all of my front end pieces like this as <asp:Panels> rendering as FieldSets that go 100% across the screen.And we call these areas "strips" accross the screen.But now I've run into a problem.One TextBox and one DropDown bind fine to a Ticket Object.But the DropDownList that works has its <asp:ListItems> hardcoded before hand.Now I have DropDownList that gets populated through a WebService in the ascx's
code behind like this:
public partial class UserControls_FormControls_PntipUpdtFaaInfo :
System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
[code]...
The Problem I think is the FormView is trying to do its Bind to the objectDataSource before its child ascx control is loaded in the Edit Template.And I am getting this error:
Databinding methods such as Eval(),XPath(),and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.Meaning that the control must already be databound to bind the selectedValue to a Property of the TicketObject.Is there an easy way to force the order of loading to make the PntipUpdtFaaInfo control load and have its Page_Load execute and bind ddlEquip before the FormView does its first dataBind and executing its Evals?Otherwise I have to take out the eval on the ddlEquip SelectedValue attribute and go to the Parent Page and hack and force everything to happen when it needs to.This layout has worked out well for me.All of the ascx area strips across the screen share the same Validation Summary for example.It allows me to think about one section at a time and the Properties to the Business Obect and CRUD methods as I go.But this is a big brick wall I've hit.

I am trying to change the textboxes in the FormView insert template to dropdownlists but they keep setting the parameters to null. Here's what I have:
[Code]....
In Page_Load
CType(frmSurvey.FindControl("ddlYearOfQualification"), DropDownList).Items.Add(New ListItem("2010", "2010"))
CType(frmSurvey.FindControl("ddlYearOfQualification"), DropDownList).Items.Add(New ListItem("2009", "2009"))
and in the SqlDataSource
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [tblSurvey] (... [YearOfQualification] ...) VALUES ( ... @YearOfQualification ... )
And in insert parameters:
<asp:Parameter Name="YearOfQualification" Type="Int16" />
And the insert fails with YearOfQualification as null. If I sue the standard textbox:
<asp:TextBox ID="YearOfQualificationTextBox" runat="server"
Text='<%# Bind("YearOfQualification") %>' />

I have been trying for a while to populate a formview when I select an item from the dropdownlist. The dropdownlist is outside of the formview. For some reason, when I select a different item it does not change in the formview. Only the first item of the list shows up. I don't know where I'm doing wrong. I tried many things and suggested informatioin and I still could not get it to work. When I do try to switch I get this error message:
