Forms Data Controls :: Display Two SQL Column Values In One Dropdown List
Apr 16, 2010
Is it possible to display two column values from a SQL database in to one DDL? I have been trying to write a SQL query, where in I select two fields to be displayed in the DDL but when I run the application it only displays one. Not sure why. Here is my code below:
I have a table that has 3 fields (Individual-Id, LastName, and FirstName). I want to create a drop down table that displays both the FirstName and the LastName (example: Smith, John). The field Individual-Id is the 'value' field.
populating the dropdownlist with column name. I have a gridview that has 7 columns . I want to have a textbox search and dropdownfield where user can select column name and type a word in search box and click search so that text for that column name is being search and displayed in grid. how I can fetch just column names from DB and search ?
when i click the dropdown list it is postbacking(since i made auto postback=true). on that time i am unable to get the selected value from dropdown list.
i have 4 text boxes and 2 dropdowns are there when ever i fill it all values should place in grid view., after entering of 5 or 6 records, i click on SAVE button then ,i want to save those values in to Data Base ,which are at Grid view.....
I am attempting to bind data from a dropdown list that was populated from another datasourceID. I've bolded what I believe is relevant to this issue in the code below. But basicly its binding the proper county on the pull down menu but when I hit form submit it dosnt postback that info instead its null.
I have a Detailsview grid with an SqlDatasource, this DVG is only going to be used to insert records. The primary purpose of the DS is to populate a DDL control in the insertItem Template that I created my code is this:
[Code]....
The DDL control populates correctly, but when I try to modify the INSERTCommand property in my DS, I try to assign the value to my parameters "TesterID" and "TesterDate" but the only options for controls to pick from, is the DGV but not the DDL in it. I assume it has to do with the InsertItem template but even if I reset it I still cannot pick the textbox as a control that would give the value to my parameters.
I did find a workaroun by build a public method and calling it in the onclick event of the insert button but looks like I have to create another connection to the database which to me seems unnecessary since I already have a DS and everything. how can I do this without having to use my method. here is my method just in case.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to display a gridview based on the selection of a drop down list. I manually entered the drop down list items, but in the configure/choose data source I don't understand how you make a relationship between each list item and the corresponding database table you want to show.
I've a dropdown list for departments (engineering, bio, chemistry,physics etc.) when somebody choose the departments from the dropdown list, it displays the opening closing time(hours) in a detailsview controls.
I have separate homepage for these departments ( these are the static html pages and no way to send querystring value) and I want to link the hours for each department from the departmental homepage.
When I choose the department from the DDL, everytime it's the same URL.
How can I solve the problem So that I can point the respective hours from the respective departments ?
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)
