I would like to ask a question about hiding a drop down in my gridview. I have a gridview and I have a drop down list to control the page size of that gridview. when there is data in that gridview, it is fine for user to see the drop down list. But when there are records in the gridview, I do not want the user to see this drop down list. How can I hide it when there is no data?

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 want to see the sales in the grid view based on the month selected from drop down list. Ex: when I select June 2010 from the ddl box, the sales for that month are correctly displayed in the grid view. I go to page 4 to look at some sales there and then switch the month to August 2010 to see sales for that month instead. Here is the problem. When I switch the month, it show August 2010 sales, but stays in page 4 instead of going back/resetting back to page 1 of August 2010 sales.
How do I reset the grid view page back to the first page of August 2010 sales?

I have a databound dropdownlist and have a problem with the default value it selects.When I attempt to edit a record the dropdownlist shows the first value in the list rather than the current value. I want the dropdown list to display the current value.

I'm using .NET version 4.
Does anyone know how to do this so when I select something the 1st dropdown and the 2nd one becomes visible and populates list from a Select statement. I really need help on how to do in an aspx and not on the code behind page.

Working on a site where a user does a search, it takes the input from the user and then runs an SQL command to return the data in a gridview for the user to see. I also have a button where the user can see all the results from the DB (this will be taken out later but for now the DB is pretty small) This is all working fine, but the problem I am having is that when you look at the page source the gridview populates everything in tables on the page. This makes it really easy to just copy and paste and get everything from my database. How can I go about displaying the information to the user in a gridview, but hiding the table information in the html page source?
View 6 RepliesI will try to keep the question short:
1. I am new to ASP and I can not get this to work:
2. I am Using a <asp:DropDownList in a <InsertItemTemplate> in a <asp:ListView
3. The dropdownlist during insert does not get polulated (it is empty) while the same construction and same datasource works in the edittemplate: <asp:DropDownList in a <EditTemplate> in a <asp:ListView
4. I noticed that filling the dropdownlist with a <asp:ListItem works; the insert list is populated. (not usable for me) In both cases I use the same datasource from the code behind like this : Edit:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownStartday" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("startday") %>'
DataSource="<%# GetDataSourceStartDay() %>" DataValueField="daynum" DataTextField="dayname"
Insert: (with or without Selectedvalue: NoJoy)
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownStartday" runat="server"
DataSource="<%# GetDataSourceStartDay() %>" DataValueField="daynum" DataTextField="dayname"

View 3 RepliesI often have some controls (like TextBoxes) for input parameters at the top of a page followed by a ListView to show the results.
When submit is hit, the LIstView shows the results using ControlParameters in the SqlDataSource.
My problem is when you first navigate to the page, the EmptyDataTemplate is shown. This can confuse users.
What is the Best Practice for not showing the ListView or EmptyDatatemplate until there has been a Submit button press?
I created a Site.Master page for my website. On the site.Master page I created a header that holds a dropdown list of companies. I was hoping that this dropdown list would be available to all pages, however the first page I made was a page with a grid view. I wanted to use the header dropdown list as one of the parameters to fill the gridview. That option does show up. I have all of the control on that actual page available to bind to, but not the Site.Master page.

I have a database with some data in. Now I'm trying to show that data on my page whit a ListView.
For each object from the database a ListView will generate a dropdownlist.
I also have a DataPager on my page and this is where the problem occurs.
Each object generated from the database has a field that may look like this example.: 1,2,3.
In my code now I´m trying to split this string of comma character and add new items to my dropdownlist.
This works as long as I do not have DataPager on. But if I choose to view an x number of pages at the time when the page loads, I have value in the dropdownlists, only on my first page.
