DropDownList For A Collection Not Selecting Value?
Mar 28, 2011
i'm using a strongly typed view with a custom viewmodel. this viewmodel contains a collection of books.
public IList<Books> Books { get; private set; }
i'm also passing a select-list to the view. however the DropDownListFor helper class doesn't automatically preselect the default value of the book.
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => Model.Books[i].AuthorID, Model.Author as SelectList)
everything else works, e.g. it does pass the selected value back to the controller.
i figured out a workaround by creating the select list in the viewmodel:
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => Model.Books[i].AuthorID, new SelectList(Model.AuthorList, "Value", "Text", @Model.Books[i].AuthorID.ToString()))
however i don't want to implement this workaround if there is a simpler solution. is there a way that the view can handle values from a collection?

}
I would like to know the syntax for selecting the most recent item in the NewsArticles collection using Linq.

I have a drop-down list that is dynamically filled with a set of values. By viewing the source code in the browser I can tell that this list is correctly filled with the "value" and "text" parameters.
But if I try to retrieve the value using ddl.SelectedItem.Value I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" which means that there is no parameter in "value" to retrieve ...
Page_Load() contains an "If Not IsPagePostback" in which the list is filled. I don't want to use AutoPostback = True since I want to retrieve the value-parameter when I click a "save" button. I must have missed something fundamental here that I do not grasp ...
The code to fill the list looks like this:
Code:
Dim ds as Dataset ()
ds.ReadXml(the path to an xml file)
ddl.Items.Add(New ListItem("destination", "destination"))
ddl.DataSource = ds.Tables(0).DefaultView
ddl.DataBind()
This snippet does not generate any errors: Everything is printed as it should!
But inside my Submit function I cannot be retrieve the parameter:
Code:
objcmd.parameter.add("?destination ", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = ddl.SelectedItem.Value

I am having trouble with DropDownList (and/or DropDownListFor) when using TemplateInfo's HtmlFieldPrefix in a strongly-typed view. DropDownList properly selects the value from the model when the prefix hos not been site. Once I set the value of HtmlFieldPrefix, the value from the model is not selected in the drop-down list.
I am using .NET 3.5SP1 and ASP.NET MVC 2 RC2.
Model:
public class TestModel
{
public string Text { get; set; }
public string Option { get; set; }
[Code]....
Is there something I should be doing differently to have the proper value selected in the drop-down list?

Im working on an ASP.Net web forms application, where I have a form and the Index is working correctly, until I select a value from one specific control, a dropdownlist. After that no matter what control I am on if I press TAB it will go to the URL/Address Bar, from there to the search bar and then again to the URL bar...

I have a complex UserControl with the main purpose to encapsulate DropDownList with a number of properties for advanced manipulation.
List is being populated on PreRender event depending on properties previously were set:
protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
sourceClient.SelectCommand = this.Property1 ? "exec a" : "exec b";
}
The most used property is ClientID:
[Category("Settings")]
public int ClientID
{
get
{
return Int32.Parse(DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value);
}
set
{
DropDownList1.Items.FindByValue(value).Selected = true;
}
}
Getter commonly is being called by ControlPameters in SqlDataSources on pages with this control.
Setter - from markup: <uc:UserControl1 runat="server" ClientID='<%# Bind("ID") %>' />.
Why does setter from Bind is called earlier then PreRender? And DropDownList is empty and item selecting doesn't work! How to workaround this behavior?

I inherited a site which I am in the middle of updating which has a DropDownList and a RangeValidator assigned to it. The data is bound to the dropdown on Page_Load. The values are retrieved from the database so the value property of each item is set to the unique ID of the item in the DB.
The RangeValidator looks something like:
<asp:rangevalidator id="ddRangeValidator" runat="server" ControlToValidate="ddMenu" ErrorMessage="Please select value in range" MinimumValue="1" MaximumValue="100000" Type="Integer">*</asp:rangevalidator>
I have a method which automatically populates this value in jQuery e.g.
$("#ddMenu").val("An Option");
This works, however, when I try to post the page the range validation fails. Then even if I manually select that value, or select another valid value it still won't validate. The only way to make it validate is to select non-valid value and then re-selecting a valid one.
Here is the data binding code:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load, Me.Load
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Dim ds As New DataSet()
Dim myDbObject As New myDbObject()
ds = myDbObject.ToDataSet() // retrieves all objects from the database

How to setup a multi value dropdownlist from a list collection...
Datasource: Listcollection which contains ColorCode and Description...
how to I setup a dropdown with Colorcode-Description like ORG-orange...
then how to capture these selected value as colorcode only by removing description for update purpose...
Now I am doing like this...
ddl.datesource=list ...contains (colorcode, description)
ddl.DataTextField = "ColorCode";
ddl.DataValueField = "ColorCode";
ddl.databind();
then selected value should be like this...
ddlcolor.Items.FindByValue((DataBinder.Eval(formView1.DataItem, "colorCode").ToString())).Selected = true;
for update:
ClassA.Color= ddl.selectedvalue();
Now what I need change to in the above code to get the combination of both..otherwise i need have textbox for description which syncs with ddl..which is bit complex for my level of programming.

The intension is to get the all text file names in the drop down present in a particular location. When a user selects any filename from the drop down, it will show the data which is in that particular text file in a GridView.
I've done both the steps and it's almost complete but i stuck on a small issue. Probably because of non-usage of ASP.NET for a long period of time. The problem is, the drop down only selects the default value not other values.Here's my code for DropDown Selected Index Change
protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:myLogs");

i've created my own custom model binder to handle a Section DropDownList defined in my view as:
Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Category.Section, new SelectList(Model.Sections, "SectionID", "SectionName"), "-- Please Select --")
And here is my model binder:
public class SectionModelBinder : DefaultModelBinder
{
public override object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
{
var value = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(bindingContext.ModelName);
if (bindingContext.ModelType.IsAssignableFrom(typeof(Section)) && value != null)
{
if (Utilities.IsInteger(value.AttemptedValue))
return Section.GetById(Convert.ToInt32(value.AttemptedValue));
else if (value.AttemptedValue == "")
return null;
}
return base.BindModel(controllerContext, bindingContext);
}
}
Now within my controller i can say:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(FormCollection collection)
{
var category = new Category();
if (!TryUpdateModel(category, "Category")
return View(new CategoryForm(category, _sectionRepository().GetAll()));
}
This validates nicely and the correct value for the section is assigned when the model is updated, however it does not select the correct value if another property doesn't validate.

In my project requirement user wants to enter a manual entry if they can not find an item in the drop down list.
Right now what I am doing is:
I set the dropdown list autopost back true and on selectedchanged event I am hiding the drop down list and showing a text box to enter a manual entry...
This is working perfect and no problems..
but the drop down list needs to change to a text box on only selecting a "unknown" option in the list...all other list items are doing unnecessary post back to the server with no use...

The following example displays a modal dialog box when the user clicks the button.What changes do I have to make to get it to display the dialog when a selection is made from the dropdownlist?
Note that if I set the TargetControlID property from "Button1" to "DropDownList1", teh dialog box is displayed when the dropdown is DROPPED rather than when a selection is actually made.

I have a partial class extending my Entity Model. I'd like to write a method that returns a collection of types from my entity framework model. For example, I'd like to get all the states to populate a drop down list. So I've written a method called getallstates(), similar to the example below:
[Code]....
I tried returning a list of Objects, and a list of states to my calling method to be used to bind to a drop down list. However I get an error that:
Server Error in Application. Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Object]'.
What should my return type be for this function?
