Forms Data Controls :: How To Populate List With New Items
Feb 28, 2011
I have al list that I would like to populate with new items from a textbox. But when I add a new Item it overwrites the old list with te "new" list. I declared the list outside the method so I don't know what the problem is.
I'm designing my own custom control that contains a .NET dropdownlist. What I'm wondering is if it is possible to populate my dropdownlist with listitems placed in a placeholder? For example:
This doesn't work because the DropDownList control only allows ListItems as child controls. But, I want to do something similar to this so when the user includes my control on a page, they can do something like this:
In my project I have a listview which I am binding from code behind. Now I would like to add a droppdownlist for each item in listview. So my question would be:
Is there a way to populate my dropdownlist whit data which I have in a List?
Here is a bit of code to show how my listview looks like:
Lets say I have ListBox1 (1,2,3,4,5,6) and a ListBox2 (A,B,C,D,E,F)..
and a Button and a GridView. Now when I click the Button. I want a GridView Column 0 to be populated by ListBox1 and Column 1 to be populated by ListBox2. . C# / Asp.net.
I have 5 radiobutton list in the form . i want to populate from it from the database.I have one table which has 5 Coloumn ( productname,group,id ,value,decscription) .Accrodindg to grouto i want to popluate all radiobutton list which display the product name.after populate all radiobutton list user select whatever list items i want to save using session in to new table.and which r the columns i make it for new table so i can save it user selction in databse..
so on upto g5 ..... my first raiobutton just populate group= g1 productname only for second raidobutton list just populate group=g2 productname only soon.
Using a gridView to read some data from a SQL database. The user can select a record in the gridview. On the SelectedIndexChanged property I populate this to a couple of text boxes & drop down list; txtCountry,ddlProvince,ddlCity.
I have special characters in France ( accent marks) and when I populate it to the drop down list it fails giving out the error message "SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items".
Example of items that I try to populate are as follows. ( separated by commas) ÃŽLE-DE-FRANCE , PROVENCE-ALPES-CÔTE D'AZUR , RHÔNE-ALPES, DRÔME,ISÈRE ........ When I looked in the drop down lists for Province and Cities I see those Provinces there in the item list. When I debug line by line the word ÃŽLE-DE-FRANCE comes out like ÎLE-DE-FRANCE which is not there in the drop down list. Got to know the ÃŽ is typed by pressing down ALT+206 and lloks like this is what is coming in at the start of the string above.
I am in the process of creating a "news system", you can add, edit and delete news. The news items can be entered into the SQL database and you select a category where you want the news item to go into.
What I want is when someone comes to the "Edit" screen, they have a drop down list and what that does is allows you to select a category for you to edit news items from, so rather than at present having the "Edit" page display all the news items, I want people to be able to choose a category that they can edit news items in.
So far my edit page has a datagrid with the following code:
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 ?
Basically I want to populate a drop down list with time slots for a user to select. If the time slot is already recorded in the database table I want to skip that one so it doesn't display as a selection in the drop down list.
So my drop down list looks like;
[Code]....
And then I have setup a datasource (even though I may get rid of it to bind in the code behind file)
i have a dropdownbox and a gridview what I want is to have a list item which populates all data in a gridview. I have tried using list item selected value=0 but to no avail. what is the easiest way to achieve this?
just want to have a quick question about the value of dropdownlist listitem. I have a gridview which has its datakey value linked to a dropdownlist. In the dropdownlist I have many listitems. So I decided to combine some list items together. Originally, the values of the items are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. But I want to have only 5 items by combining 5,6,7,8 into one listitem called "Others." So if the listitem "Others" is selected, the gridview will show all the records that have value 5 or 6 or 7 or 8. Is it possible? How can that be done?
I hope I made myself clear. Any question, I am happy to clarify.
I have a drop-down list that is wired up to a datasource from one table to retrieve a Vendor ID and Vendor Name. This ddl is outside a FormView that is wired up to a datasource containing Vendor contracts.
When I choose a Vendor from the ddl, I am able to populate a textbox outside of FormView with the Vendor ID from the ddl. However, what I need to do is populate a textbox within FormView with the Vendor ID. FormView is in Insert Mode by default since my page will be used for Adding Contracts only.
I have a dropdown menu with too many items bounded by sqldatasource.
I want to show only those records which matches the Session("UserName) so that if user login to the webpage he may be able to see only those records that are related to him and further if he selects it then data should populate to gridview.
This should give me the friends of the user currently logged in in the Repeater, but gives me an exception on the runtime that an instance needs to be initialized, can you please suggest a solution...
Also, what should be the value of the NavigateUrl property of a Hyperlink in an ItemTemplate if the url is:
"http://domain.com/viewprofile.aspx?id=" + 'THE UserID property of the current element in the list'
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.
Is it possible to assign a colour to a drop down list item based on it's value?For example: I have a drop downlist where I've got a bunch of items that have integer
values. I would like to highlight the items with values in 1000s in grey.
I've boldified the items I'd like to be highlighted in grey ,For added complexity I need to highlight the items with values 1000 in a light shade of gray and items with values 2000 in a darker shade of grey. I'm using Web Developer, and C#
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?
using asp.net 4 and vs 2010 I have a listview that displays data from a database. I have to configure it to display all column data where present, however, not all columns have data, with the result that blank spaces get rendered where this data would normally be displayed.
The code:
[Code]....
So, for example, some of the individuals that exist in this table might no longer be associated with a specific department, institution or have data in the "Address2" column.
On my website, registered users can make a profile about themselves suchas name, Favoirite color, hobbies, etcI have a DataTable called User which hold this information.also there are other datatables for Hobbies and Colors which list all possible options.To let the user update their choices I have a FormView in Edit mode on the aspx page whichis binded to the UserTable with a GetProfileByUserId Method and objectdatasource.
Within the formview, i have added drop down lists that are binded to the hobbies and Colors tables so they can edit their previous selection.On clicking Uodate update formview calls an Update Method that adds new selections to the User databaseNow I have two questionsIs it possible to show in the dropdown list the selected value that the User has already made?If the user only changes hobbies and not colors when they click update will a null value be passed into the data table for colors that replaces their previous selection?
