Forms Data Controls :: Detailsview Edit For Cascading Dropdownlist
Mar 2, 2010
I have created two dropdown lists. The 2nd DDL depends for values on the 1st DDL. I have written code on the SelectedIndexChanged event of 1st DDL to change values of 2nd DDL. also i have used detailsview. In the template field i have used 2 DDL mentioned above. they are having SelectedValue='<%# Bind("") %>' property. Everything works fine but when i tried to edit record in detailsview & select value from 1st DDL then it gives me following error.
Server Error in '/' Application. Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.
I have an ASP.NET/C# web project that uses an Entity Data Model and Entity Framework to interact with my database. I also have a DetailsView control that will serve as the control used to insert a new record. The user will need to be able to select from multiple, cascading dropdownlist controls to determine what parent record this new record will belong to. Here is an example.Say we have an online ordering system with the following hierarchy.
Customers -> Orders -> OrderParts -> Parts
We're going to add a new part to an order, under a customer. Ultimately the orderparts table won't have a reference to a customer, just an order. The order will have the reference to the customer. In the DetailsView for the new orderparts record we will need two cascading dropdownlist controls. One for customer and one for order, since we won't want to view some crazy amount of orders all in one dropdownlist.
However, the customer dropdownlist should not be bound to the detailsview control since there is no field for it. I also don't want to use the AJAX control since I don't want to create a separate web service to provide all of this information to the dropdownlist controls.
I have a standard gridview and detailsview. My detailsview has some fields which are templates, with dropdownlists. The user selects a record in the gridview, then can go down to the detailsview, select Edit, and change some values (using dropdownlists).I am getting the error, "DDL has a selectedvalue which is invalid because it does not exist...." when I click Edit in the detailsview.
I know the problem has something to do with the dropdownlists not being instantiated or bound until I enter Edit mode. Is that right? In what event should I databind my dropdownlists? I've tried several things but could not get it to work. Do I have to loop through all the rows of my details view looking for the dropdownlists, or can I access them directly from some event?
i have a table with three columns as ID,baseid,name.
[code]...
i will display all baseid 0 values in first dropdownlist1
based on the selection corresponding values will be shown in dropdownlist2 (like when desc1 is selected desc1212 &desc2323 will be shown in dropdownlist2. now i want to edit/add details to the table from aspx page.
In the detailsview, I set a edit item template (a bounded dropdownlist control). But in database there are some data not set to a value (null). After clicking edit button in detailsview control I get the error about the value problem (Because after populating the dropdownlist, there is no item as null in it. )How to set dropdownlist selected index when the data is "null"?
I have a DetailsView control with several fields that is in insert mode. Three of them are the source of my problems and headaches.
I have three DropDownLists in template fields.
The first one is OK, bound to it's designated field in table1 in the database. The next two however have to change their bound tables according to the SelectedValue.
So far, I've managed to get it working, BUT when I insert the data I've entered, these two DropDownLists are not entered into the database.
DropDownList3 - the list that controls the other two DDLs
DropDownList4 and DropDownList5 - the list that need to change their items accordingly
DropDownList3 has six different values, so I have 6 tables for each of the other two DDLs
However I have only tried with one to see if it would work, that's why the Sub seems incomplete.
Here is the relevant part of the code:
[Code]....
And the DropDownList3_SelectedIndexChanged sub:
[Code]....
If I leave SelectedValue='<%# Bind("shelves") %>' and SelectedValue='<%# Bind("type") %>' in the <asp:DropDownList> tag of the two DDLs that change values, I get an error when the first one does the postback.
The error is:
Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control. This error, I spent a whole day looking through forums and knowledge bases, but I could find nothing that solves my problem. Maybe the problem is me, but my boss wants this done, despite it is not my area of expertise to write code.
I am having two dropdownlist in my project,one dropdownlist for empid, another dropdownlist for month, if the user select the empid, the values are retrieved in the textbox.
In the second dropdownlist, if the user select the month in the dropdownlist it will display the leave details, its all working fine, if the user again select the first dropdownlist that means empid, I want to show the second dropdownlist as select month, how can do this.....
I'm trying to follow this article on cascading dropdown list in a GridView control in edit mode (except I'm using C#) [URL] I keep getting this error message "ProjectID is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table DefaultView."
I have a detailsview control linked to a SQL DB. I have created a template field with various controls within. When I click on edit and change the values and press update. The detailsview control changes back to read only and displays the original values. I have attached the code for the control and datasource below.
I have 2 dropdownlists and on change 1st dropdownlist (ddlPlant), the 2nd dropdownlist (ddlCategoryName) refreshes its data based on 1st dropdownlist value. However, the codes does not worked.
i have a webform to take user inputs. i am able to insert the data into database on clicking add button and also able to view the
records in the detailsview which is in the next webform.I have a edit and delete button in detailsview.
Now when i click edit button, i want the selected record from the detailsview to be populated in the first webform where i can update the record. also deleting record using delete button.i am using c# code,datatable and oracle stored procedure here.
i have a gridview and a detailsview on my page.in gridview i have a EDIT Linkbutton - onclick i am displaying a Panel (with ModalExtender) within DetailsView (DefaultMode = readOnly).How can i change the mode of detailsview to EDIT (in code behind) when displaying in Modal. I also have a Button NEW where i want to display the Detailsview (modal ) in Insert Mode.
I am trying to handle the detailsview programmatically but I don't know what I am doing wrong. My details view control isn't going into edit mode. My code for my gridview's select button properly loads the data into the detailsview but once the detailsview renders clicking on "Edit" doesn't switch the detailsview contol into edit mode.
This code draws the information from my database and loads the information into the dataview:
[Code]....
This code is in my dvTeamDetails_ItemCommand sub and the beep works:
I have a DetailsView control with DefaultMode = ReadOnly in my page. When the page loads, it shows the edit link. I would like to programmatically hide the edit link when the user is an administrator on page load. By default, I have set ShowEditButton="True". How do i reference the edit link when it is automatically genereated from the CommandField.
I got a problem about finding controls in Edit/Insert Itemtemplate inside a DetailsView.Here is the code.I put a Label (id= "Label6") to test whether the findcontrol method works or not. Unfortunately, I almost tried every means but still coudn't find it.
I have a SQL DB with just 2 fields, ID and TEXT.What i was trying to do, was placing a Detailsview in EDIT MODE, then selecting from the DB like SELEC TOP 1 Text FROM DB.Then i placed a Ajax HTML Editor in the template field.How can i, keep the HTML Editor on the page, and use it for INSERT and/OR EDITING ?e.g.: on the first time the user opens the site management page, it will be blank, so it will show the HTML with no text on it. but the bottom button will be UPDATE and CANCEL. So when he enters the TEXT he clicks on UPDATE.
I have a problem using the regular expression validation.In a detailed view I fill out a form to create record for an Employee.I have to enter the Zip code. To validate it I use the regular expression .Then I want to edit the record later. I don't want to edit the zip code ,it's bounded from the select but, the update is keeping asking to re-enter the code.I attached the code to that template as well as the select and update statement
