Forms Data Controls :: Create A Dropdown List That Concatenates Two Values In The Display Field?
Feb 10, 2010
I have a table that has 3 fields (Individual-Id, LastName, and FirstName). I want to create a drop down table that displays both the FirstName and the LastName (example: Smith, John). The field Individual-Id is the 'value' field.
Is it possible to display two column values from a SQL database in to one DDL? I have been trying to write a SQL query, where in I select two fields to be displayed in the DDL but when I run the application it only displays one. Not sure why. Here is my code below:
I'm trying to create a custom control that has a dropdown list and a required field validator in it.I've got as a far as being able to set the error message if the control fails to validate, but I can't actually get it to validate, not can I figure out how to call a .Validate method server side. This is driving me nuts! To create my control, I followed the article here I ran the text box example through, and I can get that to validate without any problems, so I then went through and created a new set of class files relating to a drop down list.Anyone got any thoughts, or hints as to what might be wrong, or where I should start looking?
when i click the dropdown list it is postbacking(since i made auto postback=true). on that time i am unable to get the selected value from dropdown list.
i have 4 text boxes and 2 dropdowns are there when ever i fill it all values should place in grid view., after entering of 5 or 6 records, i click on SAVE button then ,i want to save those values in to Data Base ,which are at Grid view.....
I have a Detailsview grid with an SqlDatasource, this DVG is only going to be used to insert records. The primary purpose of the DS is to populate a DDL control in the insertItem Template that I created my code is this:
[Code]....
The DDL control populates correctly, but when I try to modify the INSERTCommand property in my DS, I try to assign the value to my parameters "TesterID" and "TesterDate" but the only options for controls to pick from, is the DGV but not the DDL in it. I assume it has to do with the InsertItem template but even if I reset it I still cannot pick the textbox as a control that would give the value to my parameters.
I did find a workaroun by build a public method and calling it in the onclick event of the insert button but looks like I have to create another connection to the database which to me seems unnecessary since I already have a DS and everything. how can I do this without having to use my method. here is my method just in case.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to display a gridview based on the selection of a drop down list. I manually entered the drop down list items, but in the configure/choose data source I don't understand how you make a relationship between each list item and the corresponding database table you want to show.
I've a dropdown list for departments (engineering, bio, chemistry,physics etc.) when somebody choose the departments from the dropdown list, it displays the opening closing time(hours) in a detailsview controls.
I have separate homepage for these departments ( these are the static html pages and no way to send querystring value) and I want to link the hours for each department from the departmental homepage.
When I choose the department from the DDL, everytime it's the same URL.
How can I solve the problem So that I can point the respective hours from the respective departments ?
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)

Setting up the editItem template of a gridview. I have a template field with a dropdown list for editing. When the gridview goes into edit mode the dropdown list is displayed with all the right options but the current value of the field (pre-editing) is not the selected value of the dropdown list? How do I make that happen? I have a couple fields where the editItem template will use a dropdown list and I'm sure a user will not realize those values have changed and they will just edit what they intended to edit and save the changes, inadvertently also making changes to other fields.
i want to bind the col1 and col2 value in one template field column inside gridview .is this possible means how to do this below is the format i expected. i don;t want to do this in db ..
I Have the gridview control with 2 dropdown list and 2 text boxes,When the textbox chnaged event happen 1 row will create and the dropdown back to initial values( its not retaining the selected values),I am binding the control after text changed method,Is there any properties needs to be set or any other way we can retain the values in postbacks?
I have a dropdown list in a gridview field. The DataValueField for the ddl is an 8 digit item code. The text to display through will be quite longer, 40-60 characters because it will combine the item code and item name into a single string. I don't want the dropdownlist field to be that wide though, only what is displayed when the ddl is selected.In Access you can set the width property of the list to display wider than the field itself. Is there that capability in ASP.NET and if so where do I find it?
I hv a filed in db having 60 values. I want them to be displayed as checkbox values on my UI.but i want those checkboxes as 15 values in 1 column.15 in 2nd col.15 in 3rd col.and last 15 in 4th coln. how to do it?
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 am using a GridView Control to display multiple fileds with 0's and 1's.
I am using template fields where CheckBoxes are used.

i am using a list view to view, insert, update and delete my data for the admin page this admin page made for the news and we have categories for that so i need to use a drop down list for these categories and when the admin choose on of these categories records its value as an ID to the database.
How can i generate dropdown lists based on what has been selected in the checckbox list. Below is an example of what i need. if the user selects the options day, lotID and waferID, then 3 cascading dropdown lists should be displayed. And then a gridview displays data based on what has been chosen in the dropdown lists.
Day LotID SlotID WaferID VendorID ToolID LocationDetected ProcessStep Stage Precipe WaferStartMaterial WaferStartVendor WaferStartLot WaferDiameterCOA WaferMapTitle BreakPoint BreakpointSide BreakpointMeasurement
I want to have a default value/item of "---Select One---" and then list all of the values from the SQL statement. Currently I am having trouble doing this. I tried to add it to the List Item but it doesn't show on the page.
