Database Table Search Using Text Box And Dropdown List With C#?
Feb 10, 2010
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;
OleDbException (0x80040e57): The statement has been terminated. String or binary data would be truncated.] System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteReaderInternal(CommandBehavior behavior, String method) +745 System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() +113
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 would like to add a search module in my web application. I would like to use drop down list. I would like to know how to connect more than one drop down list in the same page to produce a result.
Example :
Holiday Type : Honeymoon,shopping (select in a drop down list) Budget : 300-400, 400-500, 500-600 (select in a drop down list) Result : a suggested holiday pakage (from database).
I'm new to asp.net. I think that 'if else' method can be used. Would be nice if anyone could share any related source codes.
We have a datatable with columns such as firstname, lastname, address...etc. I was wondering if there are any examples on how to create a dropdown list that shows these columns as items in the dropdown list. Next to the dropdown list i would like to have a text box that allows the user to enter who they are looking for. This text box should be associated with what is selected
I am using List search extender for dropdowns in my application. When I type "abc" it is listing out all items which starts with abc..with items starting from the top of the dropdown. But inIE8.0 items are starting from the bottom of the dropdown which makes user again to scroll.
i have table contain two column id and word .word column may contain one word or two or three ex ( computer , computer software , computer software computer )i want search the text if it contain any word in that table .
Let's say I have a gridview with some columns like, title, name, funding agency. Here's an example of what I want to do:
I want to display all the records in the gridview to start. There would be a dropdownlist that lets the user select whether to search by title, name, funding agency and a text box that lets them type in what they want to search for (and a button to start the search). After searching, the gridview would only display the records that matched the criteria.i already know how to connect datasets to the gridview, but i am using mysql database and writing code in vb.how to accomplish this task
I want to know how to create a textbox in VS2005 where in the box I would type the name of my favourite sports team and once I've pressed the submit button a Gridview table would populate displaying the the name of the team and a image of the club/team shirt.
I'm useing VWDE 2008. I can see my table in my database (tblTeam, [field:Team]) in the database explorer on the left but I'm not quite sure how to get them to populate into a dropdown box. The DB is an access DB called IRISDB.mdb. If anyone knows how ot accomplish this and could let me know. That would be great. I've been searching for a while and everthing I've tryed has failed.
How i can make the normal search string to sql server full text search parse, because when we are user enyer search text "how to run windows schedule in C#", in database we have article to to this, but data not returning and sometime is say error in key word and etc.
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 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)

My mission is to figure out how to hide a dropdown box, and I hope I will be able to receive some . My web form is set up like kind of a questionare, mostly yes/no, some N/A's for the answers in the dropboxes. I would like to make an entire question vanish based on the previous question being answered N/A. I have the web form setup using tables, each question occupying a cell.
i am trying to search from 2 dropdown lit from my databse (sqlserver)
1st drop down list contain(Dr, Hospital, Bloodbank) and 2nd dropdown contain areas(like in hyderabd areas are HITECK CITY, VIDYANAGAR, DILSUKHNAGAR and so any)
I have a dropdown control that has a list of names in it called PlayerNameDropDownList_Insert and a textBox called PlayerName.
When I select a name from the dropdown it populates the textbox correctly.However, when the page opens the first name is selected in the dropdown but nothing in the textbox. How can I get the textbox to populate with the value of the dropdown at pageload?
Is it possible to display a list of descriptive phrases (say pulled from a lookup table in a database) but store a code in another table? I'm a beginner at ASP.NET but have some experience with SQL Server. If so, how can I do it?
