Forms Data Controls :: Populating DropDownList In FormView From Code Behind?
Oct 25, 2010
On my formview I have a drop down list that is populated with the names of the files in a certain directory. This works fine, but when the drop down list selected value is bound to the database field I get the following error :
'ImageFileDropDownList' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value
I have setup other drop down lists in the same formview populated from SqlDataSources and these all work fine. I can see perhaps why this is an issue because I have not specified a DataValueField or a DataTextField for this drop down that is populated in code (whereas I can for the SQL bound ones) because I'm not sure what these settings would be.
I need to have a "blank" option as well so that the field does not default to the first value in the list.
My code (I have stripped out some meaningless controls) :

My code behind populating the ddl :

I am drawing a blank and need some direction.I am putting together a simple website that has a single DropDownList that is DataBound to table inside of a FormView Template.What I want to happen is when the page loads, it runs the SELECT statement and displays that result(which it does, so that part works).Where I am stuck is that if I Click the DropDownList and select another item, and display the results of that selected item in the associated Databound controls.My code is below;

I have a formview with many textboxes, dropdownlist, labels etc. I want to populate these fields using code and not a datasource.

I have the following (abbreviated) code:
<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="ItemID" DataSourceID="LinqDataSource1">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCategory" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("Category") %>'
DataSource="<%# GetCategories() %>" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="Value" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ListView ID="lvParticipants" runat="server" DataSource='<%# Eval("Participants") %>' >
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("Country") %>'
DataSource="<%# GetCountries() %>" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="Value" />
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
<ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
When the FormView is in Edit mode, ddlCategory is populated as expected by calling GetCategories(), which returns a List of categories. However, when the ListView is in Insert mode, ddlCountry is empty. I put a break point in GetCountries(), but it never gets called. If I change the name of the method, I get an error. So it recognizes the method at compile time, but does not call it at run time. I'm guessing this is an embedded binding issue of some kind, but I'm hoping someone can save me a lot of time by pointing out the solution.

I'm not sure if I can explain this properly, I just need some advise. I'm working with a formview and datasets to populate the information. However I have a table specifiying which fields to display. In my table If cell, work and home fields are selected then those fields must be populated in the formview if they not selected then it shouldn't be shown. These are 2 different datasets being pulled into the formview.
Right now I have a datasource populating the formview via the wizard, not sure what to do next.

Here is a snippet of my code...
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton
ID="lbEdit"
runat="server"
CommandName="Edit"
>Edit</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton
ID="lbNew"
runat="server"
onclick="lbNew_Click"
CommandName="New">New</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
Code behind...
Protected Sub gvPunches_RowEditing(ByVal sender
As
Object,
ByVal e
As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs)
Handles gvPunches.RowEditing
Dim i
As
Integer = e.NewEditIndex()
Dim ddl
As DropDownList =
CType(gvPunches.Rows(i).FindControl("ddlDiv"), DropDownList)
the question I have is when i enter this procedure in the code behind, ddl is nothing. what am I doing wrong in populating the dropdown for the row I am editing?

I have the following ListView (extra code removed for clarity) :
<asp:ListView ID="lvParticipants" runat="server" DataSource='<%# Eval("Participants") %>' >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("Country") %>'
DataSource="<%# GetCountries() %>" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="Value" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("Country") %>'
DataSource="<%# GetCountries() %>" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="Value" />
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
The Insert row in the ListView has an empty DropDownList and GetCountries() is not called. However, if I click the Edit button on an existing row, GetCountries() is called twice (not sure why) and the DropDownList is properly populated. Why isn't the InsertItemTemplate DropDownList getting populated?

I am able to populate the staffs indenpendantly according to what is written in textbox or dropdownlist. Whar i wanted to do is mix the population of staffnames from textbox and dropdownlist. In other words, when i search "sandra' in textbox and select a Department A , the listbox will show all the sandra from Department A only.

I have a ListView that I need to populate a dropdownlist while rendering. For each rown in my table has a field called sizes which has data that looks like this "blue; red; yellow; green", I need to render a dropdownlist in the ItemTemplate with these values, I tried placing a PlaceHolder but I don't know how to populate it. I have tried to populate it OnItemDataBound and OnUnload but neither seem to work.

I have code that populates 2 dropdownlist in a gridview. DropStart And DropEnd I want to add time values depending on a few things here's the routine I cal.
Code:
Public Sub GenerateTime(RowIndex As Integer)
Dim ComboStart As New DropDownList
Dim ComboEnd As New DropDownList
Dim ItemList As ListItem
Dim TimeInterval As Integer
Dim IntervalleCalcul As Integer
Dim NombreIntervalles As Integer
[code]....
now this code is called, and runs fine, it goes in the for loop and I see if I trace it that combostart and comboend both have 96 Items in them as expected. hence it did find the controls in the gridview. but when I exit this sub and continue the code by just running the code in the asp.net page the two corresponding dropdown control don't get the values that did get added in the code behind.
In the RowEditing is when I call this routine.
Code:
Private Sub GridDetails_RowEditing(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs) Handles GridDetails.RowEditing
GridDetails.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex
GridDetails.DataBind()
GenerateTime(GridDetails.EditIndex)
End Sub

How I populate a dropdownlist from code behind. I want to add the items from an access database. I know how to read the rows but don't know how I add them to the dropdownlist. What I mean by this is I need to add a value column and a display column because I want to save the code value not the display value.
Is this possible and if so how do you do it?

during edit mode i populate the drop down in question with data based on a value selected in another drop down also in the gridview, all works find, but the paramater is not being updated with the selected value, i think this is because i do not call any Bind in the aspx side.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Build Types">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblBuildTypes runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("BuildType") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>

I have a dropdownlist in EditItemTemplate and InsertItemTemplate which I want it to populate at the runtime while Inserting an item or Editing an item.
I am facing an issue regarding populating a dropdownlist dynamically while in Edit and Insert mode. There are 0 Records in my table and it shows "Empty Data message" in my Listview control. Even the ItemDataBound event does not fire. So I am not able to find the dropdownlist in that listview.
This is my Aspx code which shows only InsertItemTemplate and EditItemTemplate.

I read your article on ASPSnippets and everything worked great. I am having one problem and this is preventing me from moving forward. When I select the edit for a row (I only have two columns), the drop down comes back blank (no records). I have looked at the code multiple times and can't see where I made a mistake. is it possible to control the width of the drop down list? I can't tell if the column automatically adjusts because I am not returning any records.

using System.Collections.Generic;

Hi, i am newbie to asp.net. In my page there is a formview with sqldatasource. In which there is a dropdownlist wrapped with an updatepanel. What i'm trying to do is the re-bind ddlStudents after adding new row to the students table (using gridview and
ajax popup extender-both working fine, i'm being able to add new )
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="ddlUpdatePanel" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlStudents" runat="server"
DataSourceID="sdsStudents"
DataValueField="studentID"
DataTextField="name"
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("studentID") %>' >
asp:DropDownList>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsStudents" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:myConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT studentID, name FROM tblStudents">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
after closing the popup,
Protected Sub btnClose_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If IsPostBack Then
ddlUpdatePanel.Update()
ddlStudents.DataSourceID = "sdsStudents"
ddlStudent.DataBind()
modalPopupPanel.Hide()
End If
End Sub
I am getting error;
Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

One of the fields on my formview is a dropdownlist. When I go into edit mode the dropdownlist gets set to the correct value and works fine up to this point. Problem is I just can't see how to get the newly selected value of the dropdownlist to persist to the database when update is clicked. The DDL is a category list and I want to allow changing of the category for each record. Like I said I have it working so it displays the correct category for the record but if I change the DDL (change category) the new selected value doesn't get updated in the database. It just keeps using the binded value that was originally assigned to the selected value of the DDL. see code snippit
[Code]....
The above snippet is how I am binding the DDL. Now to not bore you with a ton of code paste I use various events of the formview to make sure the value displayed in the DDL is correct for the record that I am viewing at the time. All that works just fine. Where I need some pointers is the when I enter edit mode and change the DDL from say fire to ice it isn't getting persited to the database, all other info in the record gets updated just fine but the DDL never changes. I have tried several angles to getting this working and TBH my brain is yelling BREAK TIME.

I have a ddl inside the formview that I can't figure out how to wire up properly. The formview contains detail info, but the ddl needs to list the entire set to items. Then I want the ddl's selected value be set from the recordset intended for the formview. I think it's just a timeing issue s I would like your help. Thanks, - EJM.

I have a dropDownlist in a Formview Edit and Insert Template that is Bound to a Field, It is for a credit card expiration date, so I want to programatically populate it so it will automatically show the next 8 years from this year. Works fine!
Except When I add it to the Formview, and click on edit it gives me an error basically saying my record does not match the list item data, but it should since it shows the year just fine. So I am figuring that it is not binding the ListItems to the dropdownlist.
I have tried every event I could try and I always get the same error. I have tried the ModeChanged, DataBound, DataBiding, PreRender, Load on both the Formview and the DropDownList, but no go. How do I do this?
[Code]....
This works fin on a DropDownList that is not in a FormView, so I know its not the Code. and the record I am updating is 2010, so the record is not out of range

I'd like to set the selectedvalue of the dropdownlist with the value contained in odsMain (the current record value for it). Is there any way this can be done?
