Forms Data Controls :: Add Value In A Dynamically Created Dropdown List?
Jan 11, 2010
I have a database with some data in. Now I'm trying to show that data on my page whit a ListView.
For each object from the database a ListView will generate a dropdownlist.
I also have a DataPager on my page and this is where the problem occurs.
Each object generated from the database has a field that may look like this example.: 1,2,3.
In my code now I´m trying to split this string of comma character and add new items to my dropdownlist.
This works as long as I do not have DataPager on. But if I choose to view an x number of pages at the time when the page loads, I have value in the dropdownlists, only on my first page.
i have the requirement that to set the 'Timetable' for school..
i need weekdays vertically and periodnames horizentally as headings in the gridveiw.. and with in the gridveiw the client can able get those many periods dynamically with in the dropdown....
I am using cascading dropdown list where the no of dropdowns is created dynamically on the page. The cascading drop downs are contained in a User Control. I need to call a method from the Parent page which will be executed when the values in one of the dropdowns change. The server side event is not firing as I have set AutoPostback property for the dropdownlists to be false. How can i make the Page event fired from the Selected index changed of the dropdowns keeping the autopostback property to be set as false.
I'm creating an quiz application which queries the database and extracts the questions and choices. I use dynamically created controls such as a checkbox list and fill the values dynamically. How do I do this? Right now I have these functions:
array_random_init(); this creates a 10 element integer array from 1-20 - extract_question(i): this extracts a question indexed at i in DB, I created the controls and set the appropriate text in this function. - validate_question(i); this is called by button_click and validates the question i according to DB.
I understand I have to recreate the controls in Page_init on postback, but what should it look like? Do I need to add "if IsPostBack" in page_init, or do I create the controls in page_init() and reset their properties in page_load when I use extract_question(i)? Also, I cannot seem to clear the selected boxes on postback, I added page directive "enableviewstate=false" but it doesn't work.
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.
I 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.
The example is given below( I am reading the book Sams Teach yourself ASP.NET 2.0 by Scott Mitchell. page 628)

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've run into small problem, here's the thing: i've got a dropdown list (ddlist1) that i am populating from a database, that works fine. However, depending on the option selected here, i need to populate another dropdown list (ddlist2). for example, if on ddlist1 i select option 1, on ddlist 2 i should get a list of options related to option 1 from ddlist1. If i select option 2, on ddlist 2 i should get a list of options related to option 2 from ddlist 1. and so forth. this information with which ddlist needs to be filled, comed from another database. o how can i go about this? m not sure yet how to code the second ddlist.
What I am trying to achieve:I am trying to take the value of the selected index and depending on what this value is (e.g. the case selection in the code below) run a different query on the dataset and then create a repeater control dynamically to output each row with an item template that I can use css to style.
In other words: When a user choses a list item it shows only rows from the dataset that match the list item chosen. For example if a user choses Closed Tickets they only see rows from the dataset that have a STATUS of 'CLOSED'.
What I have done so far: [Code]....
What I'm struggling with at the moment is:
1) That the case selection works but the selection of the appropriate data from the dataset doesn't seem to be happening. And this data isn't getting stored in rows as I had hoped.
2) I'm not sure entirely how to display the dynamically created repeater control in the admin.aspx page.
I have a page that I am creating 5 separate GridViews on, depending on the button the user clicks, a different GridView will show up. On a few of the GridView's there is a need for paging, so in the CodeBehind I did the following billingGridView.ID = "BillingGridView"
I am new to asp.net. I am trying to display some data from a database table using dynamic table in my page. I want to add checkboxes to a field in the database and would like to perform several tasks based on the values checked. The checkboxes are tied with the primary key field of the database. Here is the code snipet :
[Code]....
Now I have a button in my page. The functioanlity which I desire is on clicking that button I should be able to extract the values of checked checkboxes and perform some function.
I have created one user control in which I have taken a gridview. Columns of this gridview are getting generated dynamically. (i.e. I read Column name from Xml file) But now I want my first coloumn of this gridview as a checkbox field.
I want to create a gridview with the first column being the Job Number and then a variable number of subsequent column which are fordates. This grid is a data entry for hours worked on a particular date for a particular job. I wrote the code to get the correct number of columns and column headers but I am having trouble getting textboxes into the grid cells.
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { #region constants
i am working on Accounting software.in this software i am to implement voucher entries form.In this form on page load a table (two rows and four columns) should be created after that one row should be appended to that table dynamically on button click event.
I have a listview control which is created dynamically, it is nested inside a repeater's itemtemplate. I'm trying to attach a datapager to it, which is also created dynamically but the datapager will not display and the listview will just display all its records in its entirety.
I have a menu. I use the menu's menuitemclick event to create a gridview (several actually) that is then added to a panel for display.The gridview paints perfectly until I try to add paging.I have successfully used paging and sorting declaratively for years, but this is my first attempt to do everything in code.When the gridview tries to databind, it throws an error:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView.get_StateFormatter() +25 System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView.BuildCallbackArgument(Int32 pageIndex) +56
I am creating a project that dynamically creates radiobuttons. So far, i'm done with creating those radiobuttons dynamically. My problem is getting the values from those radiobuttons. To get those values, I need to click the submit button, however it seems that the radiobutton value or the radiobutton itself is lost after I click the submit button.
here are my codes, though not my exact codes, it follows the same logic...
i want to to replace the hyperlinkfield with a template field that contains a hyperlink WITH ID where hyperlinkfield does not have ID and be bound to the same datasource above because i want to make the abililty to set the navigate url attribute using rowdatabound
I created a templatefield programmatically and it works fine but whenever I clicked the button inside the gridview and do the postback my templatefield are gone.
Im basically listing a set of facilities in a datagrid. Like so:b Projectorcb Laptopcb TelevisonIn roomview, a check appears where a facility is availble in a room. This part works fine.The user can then edit the facilities, by clicking on the check beside each facility. When the update button is pushed I need to record the value of the checkbox, however I cant get the value of the checkbox.eres my codebehind:
I am using asp.net/c# application. In my application, I have a gridview.<asp:GridView id ="gv_QuestionList" runat="server"> </asp:GridView>In Code Behind, I created dynamic textboxes and DropDownLists on RowDataBound.
[Code]....
I have a Save button out side the gridview which stores all the row values into database. when I click the "Save" button, I lost dyanamically ceated controls like textbox,dropdown and values (on postback).How can i get all the dynamically created controls and values after the post back?
i created a gridview with two columns and 8 rows dynamically. All the rows are empty and editable at runtime. I am giving column names for this grid from some other .aspx page by passing column names using querystring.Because i am using this grid for three different pairs of column names. i would like to know how to apply Required Field Validator, Regular Expression Validator and Range Validator on Gridview textboxes. So that by using those validators i want to validate user inputs. And i would also like to know how to add rows at runtime for this grid.
I am using ASP.net 2.0 and C#.net for this.(Visual Studio 2005)
