I'm using objectDataSource and Formview. Currently I'm using a Text-Box to put the CategoryID.
I want to display the Category-Name instead of Category ID in Drop Down list.
I have dropdownlist that maps from a SQL foreign key, which can be NULL.
Currently, I've added a "Please select..." to the top of my dropdown list and assigned it a value of 0.
I know how to map from the drop down list to SQL using a CASE statement in my UpdateCommand.
But how to I map from the SELECT statement to my dropdownlist? If this foreign key contains null I get "Item not in Dropdown list". I'd like to show "Please Select..." as the dropdownlist item if the SQL item contains NULL. I saw something online that says to use the value '''' for 'Please select...', but I don't think it's right, plus it doesn't work.
Do I have to do something in my SELECT statement or do I have to do something on DDL.Databind?
I have created a dynamic dropdownlist. I need to get the selected values from the dynamic list and store it my sql database.
View 5 Repliesin my proj i have a grid view which consists of name and droppown list as shown below:

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:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList8" runat="server"
DataTextField="LATA"
DataValueField="LATA"
onselectedindexchanged="DropDownList8_SelectedIndexChanged"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Inventory_DBConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [LATA], [LATA Name] AS LATA_Name FROM [CA] WHERE ([SWITCH ID] = @SWITCH_ID)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="SWITCH_ID" QueryStringField="ddl1"
Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
In given code finally I want to populate unique values at runtime in 2 drop downlist.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
vidDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("~/CurrentStatus.xml"));
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1);

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 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.
View 4 RepliesI 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.

View 4 RepliesI have a strange problem. I suddenly noticed that the gridviews on my list.aspx page are now displaying the numeric foreign key value rather than the display column value. For example, instead of displaying:

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 sure this is very simple but I'm very new to ASP.NET.
I'm using .NET version 4.
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.

View 2 RepliesI'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:

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.

I 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"
I have a gridview with edit and save buttons.
code
<asp:TemplateField
HeaderText="Job Title"
SortExpression="Job Title">
[Code]....
The above code is not working what should I change to make it work?
can i enter a choice that is not in the dropdown list? Just like a combo box, there is a list of item but a user can still have an option to enter in the textbox. does a dropdown list also have this function? or if not is there a workaround?
