I am trying to create a cascading dropdown list using two dropdown lists in Visual Studio 2008 Professional connecting to a SQL Server 2008 Standard database on my local machine. I have added the two dropdown lists, as well as a CascadingDropDown extenders from the AJAX Control Toolkit that corresponds with the first dropdown list. The problem I am running into is that despite the fact that I have a CascadingDropDown extender for the first dropdown list so far, and the extender is configured properly, the first dropdown list is showing Unbound in Design view. I also don't see a TargetControlID entry in the properties window for the externder.
I hard coded the TargetControlID to the extender in the Source view and, although I am not receiving any dynamic errors from the TargetControlID entry (meaning, the TargetControlID is a valid parameter, and the dropdown list I entered for that parameter exists on the same page), the dropdown list doesn't populate properly and when in Design view, not only do I not see an entry for the CascadingDropDown extender, but the target dropdown list shows as being "Unbound."
A couple of things I want to point out first:
1) I am using Master pages on this site for the header, footer and navigation. The opening and closing <form> tags, as well as the <ScriptManager> entry are in the Master page, not the content pages. I did this with the assumption that at runtime, each page would have the proper <form> tags and <ScriptManager> entry to function properly.
2) I have been able to add a CascadingDropDown extender to a page in Design view (and it initially displays properly), but by the time I have added all of the properties settings to apply it to its corresponding dropdown list, the entry appears normal in Source view but no longer appears in Design view. When I run the page, the dropdown list does not populate. Obviously, I assume that this is related to the dropdown list showing in Design view as being Unbound, but I don't know how to get the dropdown list to recognize that I have a CascadingDropDown extender that is supposed to apply to it.
Here is what the two elements look like in Source view:
To create these, I have been following Joe Stagner's example in his video on the topic (http://www.asp.net/ajax/videos/use-aspnet-ajax-cascading-drop-down-control-to-access-a-database) virtually word for word. I have set up two TableAdapters/DataSets, one for each dropdown list, and the datasets are able to accurately pull the appropriate data from the database, so I know those are working properly. I believe the problem is that the dropdown list isn't binding with the CascadingDropDown extender properly. It wouldn't bother me that I don't see a TargetControlID entry in the properies window for the CascadingDropDown extender, although I have a feeling that the absense of that property is related to the fact that the dropdown list is not binding to the extender. I searched online for causes to this problem, but I wasn't able to find any solutions.
- i have two drop down lists- ddl_SelectClient, ddl_SelectApplication
- when a client is selected in ddl_SelectClient, i have to show the list of the clients applications in ddl_SelectApplication
- i have written the below code in the ddl_SelectClient_SelectedIndexChanged routine to do the same
- i am getting the error("Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack") in the catch block when the ddl_SelectApplication gets binded
I have a table Person (in my database) which has fields like PersonID, PersonName, PersonSurname, etc. What I'd like to do is to bind the PersonName + PersonSurname (e.g. Mark Black) as values for displaying the data in drop down list and PersonID as the data identifier.
As I'm still new with Entity Framework I'm not sure how to manage to do it.
I know how to bind a simple objects to a dropdown list. However I am having problems binding my objects which contains sub objects to the control.i.e. with simple object i just do ddl.DataValueField = "myproperty" with my objects they contains sub objects which i want to bind. I have tried ddl.DataValueField = "sub-object.myproperty" which doesnt work.
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 details view on a aspx page that contains two DropDownList control in a TemplateField one works and selected value is updated in the database and one will not up date the database , i have spent hours looking for the reason why the Yard field is not updated with the select value from the dropdown list in the templatefield called DropDownList1.
I'm stuck with a problem to populate a DropDownList control with values from the database using item field template in read only mode. since I'm new to ASP.NET. Below is the code and the error I'm getting:
'PictureReadOnlyCategories' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: 'PictureReadOnlyCategories' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value
The code for this is :
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="categoriesDataSource" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand ="SELECT [CategoryID], [Name] FROM [Categories] WHERE ([UserId] = @UserId)"> <SelectParameters>
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 am using a list view to view, insert, update and delete my data for the admin page this admin page made for the news and we have categories for that so i need to use a drop down list for these categories and when the admin choose on of these categories records its value as an ID to the database.
the following content I created a table (Workers) with two columns(username,userid). Now i have Dropdownlist and textbox. Dropdownlist for Userid, Textbox for Username. If i click on the userid in dropdownlist, then the particular username should get displayed on the textbox. For this i have tried codings.
private void DropDownList() { OleDbConnection databaseConnection = new OleDbConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[1].ConnectionString); databaseConnection.Open(); OleDbDataAdapter dataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("Select userid from workers", databaseConnection); DataTable dataTable = new DataTable(); dataAdapter.Fill(dataTable); DropDownListMaterials.DataSource = dataTable; DropDownListMaterials.DataTextField = "userid"; DropDownListMaterials.DataValueField = "userid"; DropDownListMaterials.DataBind(); } protected void DropDownListMaterials_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { OleDbConnection databaseConnection = new OleDbConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[1].ConnectionString); databaseConnection.Open(); OleDbCommand MyCommand = new OleDbCommand("select username from gridview where userid=('" + DropDownListMaterials.SelectedItem + "')", databaseConnection); TextBoxUsername.Text = } private void DropDownList()
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;
