Forms Data Controls :: Add Dropdown List To Gridview Edit
Apr 16, 2010
I have packed the access 2007 project management database and moved it to SQL Server. I'm aware that SQL doesn't populate dropdown lists for the Status and completion Percentage columns. I have to have this done by April 21 and my professor is just now telling me he won't accept the textbox inputs due to data integrity and I don't have time to rebuild this entire site.
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 have a dropdown list in the edittemplate of a gridview and now it selects the first value that comes from the datasource. How can I get it to select it's original value? Where do I put the code?
I'm trying to follow this article on cascading dropdown list in a GridView control in edit mode (except I'm using C#) [URL] I keep getting this error message "ProjectID is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table DefaultView."
i have a dropdown list in edit mode and read only mode. If users upload pictures, i want them to chose a category for the uploaded pics and display it in a gridview as below.(See Picture below). When i include "SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CategoryID")" in edit and item template mode, i get this error "'PictureReadOnlyCategories' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value "
When i removed the "SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CategoryID")" from edit and item template, i get the result on the pic below(screenshot). If u can see the pic below the category is not selected, it just display the -- No Category -- even when i chose a category for the pic. I want when a pic is uploaded and i category chosen, to display on the gridview. The code for the error message is below:
I am using a dropdownlist inside Edit template of a formview,, the problem it is not saving the value ,, Here is my code : I am only updating the (status)
I am using gridview for my application, in the grid i am using dropdown list for two columns ,It's working when i run my application but when i am edit application ddl can't show the editable data ( it show only select).And one more thing that two columns are interrelated , one ddl(Itemgroup) is connected with(ItemName).
I have grid view which databind from object datasource. my problem is i want to disply dynamic dropdown list on edit template based on the id which has in grid view. but still i can't figure out a way to do this.
I have a gridview that has an edit button. I want to have dropdownlists in the edit template, which I have. I cannot get the dropdowns into the update sql. Is that done with code behind or is there another way to do it?
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 a DropDownList inside the EditTemplateItem (if the user clicks edit) in a GridView.The DropDownList receives all available rows from the database. My problem is,if the user clicks Edit in the GridView to edit a row and opens the DropDownList Box the original item is not selected but the first one.That means the items are sorted. Have someone an idea how I can solve this issue that the right item / the original is selected if I change to edit mode of the grid view?
I am developing page for maintaing employee record using Visual Studio 2008, MS SQL server 2005. I am able to fetch and display all the employee information in gridview, the gridview have the dropdown list to display the employee type [ Part Time, Full Time, Permanent , Contract ], in the item template i am having dropdown list. IN the dropdown list i am displaying this. But While saving the record in gridview the droppdown selected index are changed to 0 of other dropdown list.
the user may be change the dropdown value from permanent to contract, or so. but while click on the save button in gridview, all the previous selection are gone, and always showing the first record of dropdown list. I know this is happening because we are doing dropdown list bind on onRowDataBound.
