Forms Data Controls :: Updating Formview And DropDownList?
Mar 26, 2010
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 am using a stored procedure for a sqldatasource to update a formview. I believe that I am passing the Obligation_Status value correctly to the stored procedure but the oblgation status field is always updated AS NULL in the database. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
I have a 4 formviews present on a page. Three are updating to the DB without issue when the update link button is clicked. One is not. I have the DataKeyName set and still it doesn't save.
I am making a message module in asp.net with database of sql. i have made a gridview and enabled selecting. and a form view is synchorised with grid view on selecting. i am writing update sql but could not get a way to take data on Gridview or Formview to compare the record in sql database.
I have a web page with a gridview & formview (master/detail relationship) combo. On page load the gridview shows all records from a SQL table. On my page I have a button that when clicked shows the formview in Insert mode to allow users to add a new record to the data. I have also added a column to my gridview that has a link. When a user clicks this link it hides the gridview and shows the formview in edit mode with the detail from the record selected from the gridview.
In my formview I am using a listbox control to allow users to select multiple values. The choices in the listbox are populated by a SQL data table. I have successfully written code to post the selected listbox values to my SQL data field during Insert. When the user selects a record to edit I have code in the databound event to select values in the listbox from the choices based on the value in the sql data field. This works as well. My problem is that I cannot figure out the correct code to update my SqL data when a user is editing the record and makes changes to the selected listbox value. I have included my design code for my listbox in my formview edittemplate and also my behind code that I have attempted.
I have a strange issue with the FormView. After working through some issues getting the update to work (as this is my first experience with FormViews) I now have a new issue. After I perform an update, and the FormView updates and returns to read mode, if I hit F5 (refresh) the FormView performs another update to the datasource, despite the fact it is read-only mode and none of the fields on the screen are editable.
I would think that a refresh in read mode for the FormView after an edit would simply refresh the data from the database, not perform another update. Again, the FormView is in Read Only Mode, but a refresh is creating another Update event (which I can debug and see if I break in the ItemUpdating event). This only happens after I perform an edit, not when the page initially loads.
I have an access database where when the record is updated I would like to automatically check a box and update the date to the current date in an Access 2002-2003 database. I've tried this for several days without any resolution and can't find anything that works on the net. ...I'm new at this.
I have this problem everytime I change the select command to a custom command, and I do not know what is causing it.
My Formview will not update when i hit the update button, page refreshes but I get the same info, not the updated info. I set up my DataSource to CRUD only one table, then change the select statement just for the ItemTemplate of the Formview, leaving the rest, but it will not update
I have a gridview that holds 4 columns. in the fourth column there is a DropDownlist that holds three items.
I want my users to select one of the values and when they do the auto post back (which is set to true) should execute a method that updates the database selected row. But do i use the selectedindexchanged of the DDL or the Gridview? My head is totally thrashed so i imagine its really simple and im just over thinking it.
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.
I am trying to create a Gridview in which I can update the Project Officer name in the Gridview from a DropDownList.
The Project Officer DDL comes from a seperate query (SqlProjectOfficerName) as the other information (SqlDataSource1)... as you can see below.
When I select EDIT, the DDL appears and I can select from the list of Project Officers, but when I select UPDATE, the name of the Project Officer doesnot change.
review the code below and assist as appropriate to write the Project Officer's name back to the table.
I'm populating a dropdownlist in a formview with a different datasource from the formview's. I need to set the selected value according to the value in the formview's datasource but I'm having a hard time doing that.
Here's the code: <asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="ID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"> <EditItemTemplate> [code]....
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?

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
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) :
I have a formview with insert function into "table1". In that formview i also have a dropdownlist listed with records from "table2". (This dropdown is of course instead of a textbox). get "table1" inserted when one of the field is from a different table?
