Forms Data Controls :: Use Ajax:CascadingDropDown To Populate DetailsView?
Feb 20, 2010
I have three cascading drop down boxes populated by way of a web service. I would like the selection of the third box to then populate the details View based solely on that selection. When I run the page, the DetailsView is populated with every item from the table (using paging) instead of only showing the details of the item selected in drop down. In the database the a field named ItemId is the identity for the table. Am I simply not passing this correctly to the detailsView from the ddl?
I have two sets of cascading drop down lists they are contained in a detailsview <edititemtemplate>. The problem is that when the user clicks update; the original data is wiped out and the user has to redo the selection of all items contained in a cascading dropdown even if the user didn't want to change that particular aspect of a record. If the user doesn't select everything an error is thrown by the stored procedure in regrds to null values not being valid.
Is there a way i can use cascadingdropdown so that the current values are visible when the user clicks update; meaning that they don't have to redo selections for all items involving drop down lists. The current selections would be default values.
I've got a dropdownlist control that the user can select an an employee name and that should then fill in the detailsview control with specific information about that employee.
My dropdownlist control works fine and I do have AutoPostBack set to true. For some reason my detailsview doesn't work. There's no error message. The detailsview control just doesn't show up.
Here's my code:
This is the sqldatasource control for the dropdownlist control:

This is the sqldatasource control for the detailsview control:
I have a form for our staff to list an event in a calendar system. In the form, there is a DDL for their Department, and a CasscadingDropDown that provides a list of staff members (the staff list is filtered by Department, as chosen in the first DDL). When the form gets submitted, I need to store the selected values of both DDL's (DepartmentID and StaffID, respectively) into the database.
So, I have a DetailsView, and am using the InsertItemTemplate. Now, I can get both DDL's populated correctly (with the cascade working correctly), and I used custom DDL's derived from the standard DDL class to avoid any Postback/EventValidation problems. But I can't seem to get the values of the user's selected items so I can save them back into the database! I've tried many different approaches, but all I seem to get returned is a value of "".
2. A detailsView used to edit data in the gridview (used with a modelpopup extender).
In using the detailsview to add a new record, one of the data feilds should be selectable whilst also allowing the user to add to the list . Initially I implemented a DropDownList which works fine but doesn't allow adding entries. I tried replacing the DropDownList with an Ajax ComboBox however the control doesnt seem to work as advertised. I have performed a quick search on the web and have found others reporting this issue (Ajax combobox in a detailsview) but no solutions.
What would be a way of presenting to a user in a detailsview a range of values to select from whilst allowing them to add to that list?
I have DropDownList with CascadingDropDown extender.
If I want to retrieve data from the database for update to what I should assign the data...... to the dropdownlist or to CascadingDropDown extender and to what properties exactly I should use?
I am trying to arrange the information from a SQL record into a 3 column by 3 row table to fit the form presentation that I want. I have placed on the page 3X3 table and then tried to place a detailsview in the first cell for the first picture called P1dv.
I have place a detailsview in the last cell that would control the paging of information called Controldv. I need to fiqure out how to link P1dv paging to Controldv page action. I am using visual web dev. 2005. I am not updating or editing these are read only views.
example of what i need the form output to look like:
But I´m trying to do that programmatically, not with the sqldatasource. So I wrote the method that binds data to Detailsview and I call it in the page_load. The problem is that I have to click two times on the select button to view the detailsview. The first time I click on the select button nothing happens.
I have a gridview with a Select button. Clicking the Select button for a particular item, I need its full details displayed in DetailsView. how I can bind to DetailsView? Here is what I have so far.
Search GridView with Paging on TextBox KeyPress using jQuery in ASP.Net  I want to add some advance features in this example.i want to add itemtemplate for select data and redirect to another page with querystring.
when i am adding itemtemplate then paging not work.So what changes can i do?
I'm trying to populate a date from a bound text field in a DetailsView. I keep getting a error when a DBNull is in the column. How do I avoid the DBNull when populating the text field.My code is as follows:
I have dynamically popute the data in Dropdownlist(Countries) and the On selected index event of Dropdownlist there is noeed to bind /populate the Checkbox list from database depending on the selections made from the Dropdownlist.
For example If I select Gujrata then all the cities of Gujrat should be visible and bounded to the check box list.
2) Once the checkbox list is bounded with data from the database, We need to select  the checkbox from the checkboxlist  and  pass tyhe selected  text of all the  selected checkboxes  fro the checkbox list  as comma seperated  values to database  and then I need to Display in the Grid.
Below is my code for Dynamically populated/Bind DropDown list and get the States:
I have a request:((( Now I can use the TextBox auto-complete but my problem that i use (Key/Value) mean that I should display for example the country name and use the country iso code in the code behind.... so how can I do that by using ajax (TextBox or DropDownList)
Is it possible to add a new item to cascadingdropdown? I tried ddl_master.Items.Insert(0, "3"), but it doesn't show up. When I view the source in the browser it's there.
I use the CascadingDropDown to fill several DropDownList in my web to manage different application access rights
I use the Ajax CascadingDropDown component for that.
My problem is that, depending on the application, the selections criterias of the values in my database will be different.
I would like to know if there is a way to get or to identify the name or the ID of the dropdownlist which execute the CascadingDropdown class in the .asmx part (in the "public CascadingDropDownNameValue[] GetApplication1(...)" class ) ??
The name of the DropDownList give me the code of the application manage use to select my data in my SQL query
I don't want to write several query for each dropdownlist like :
public CascadingDropDownNameValue[] GetApplication1(...), public CascadingDropDownNameValue[] GetApplication2(...) etc ...
as they will be create automatically at the loading of the page.
