Jan 11, 2010
what i have a is a dropdownlist and what i have done is set the datasource to be "select top 10 * from Orders"I have only displayed the OrderID , CustomerID and the Freight i would like to display in a dropdownlist. But what is happening is that for all 10 rows the dame value in the dropdownlist is shown. The dataset that is bound to the dropdownlist initially is all that items in the database.i would like the freight for that particualar Orderid to be displayed even if it is lets say item number 5 in the dropdownlist or itemn number 2 .
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 have gridview that has month as a column. When the user clicks a row's edit button, that row goes into edit mode. I have created a drop-down list for month in edit mode with the values 1-12. Right now, the drop-down list shows 1. I would like it to show the current value for that row. How do I do this? Here's the code for my gridview:
How do i make the default entry in a dropdownlist not selectable? Right now I have a drop down and the users are able to select the default option that says (Select one)...here is what my code look like. I hard coded my options in there cause the list is really short and won't change ever. Right now, users can select the default entry and add it whatever list they are generating on the page...and I would like to make that default visible but not selectable.
i have given 28 states as a datasource to the dropdownlist..whenever the user enters with id the dropdownlist must populate with his statename not from the first state (A to Z) as it is stored in database.?is thr any option to give query as default value to the dropdown?

When the page is viewed the dropdownlist show the following;towels, shoes, etc. What I would like is the default item to be nothing. That is when the page is viewed then the drop down list should show something like this "select category". Right now it is starting by showing towels, which is quite irritating, since if I want to see towels I first have to select something else and then go back and select it!
I have a dropdown list which I bind through a datasource. How can I inject a default value to it? My db doesn't have a default value and changes are not permitted!
I have a field that is a DropDownList. When in the insert mode I want that field to be blank - It currently is displaying the first record in the table it pulls from. I was expecting to see an initial value setting in the DropDownList properties but do not. For example - suppose I have a field named locations that consist of 4 location (below). In "Insert" mode, location currently displays Dallas. I want it to be set to blank initially and the user select one. What am I mssing?
I have a dropdownlist that is not bound to a datasource, I have hard coded a few items in the list cause the list is always constant and will never grow and there are only 4 entries init. Anyway, after i load the page and make a selection from the dropdownlist and do a postback, the dropdown always returns to the default selection...which tells the users to make a selection.How do I get the dropdown to keep the selected value after the postback? I want to be able to display the selected value all through until another selection is made.

I am using 3 dropdown list in a gridview and the values for the dropdownlist is dynamic from database.based on first dropdown list selected value the values must fill to second dropdown and based on second dropdownlist selected value then items should load to 3rd dropdown and same for 4th dropdown list. Here if i select age,gender,sex, fist name, last name from the template name Human. The first drop down only populate the fields like Age,gender,Sex and so on., When the second dropdown list populate from the fields corresponding Template name Human, Finance, and so on.
I have a databound dropdownlist, bound to an object datasource. I want to have a default value of "None" inserted at the top of the list and I would like to do this declaritively if possible. After much googling I came up with the below code. However it does not display my default item. I was under the impression that setting the AppendDataBoundItems to True would solve this, however it hasn't.
i want the code to disable default selection in dropdownlist in asp.net and also on selection of a particular data field the values are displayed in the txtbox below.the dropdown should be filled with system related data like eg c:drive, d ... etc dynamically at run time.
