How would I go about displaying a databound dropdown list in a property grid, i.e. a dynamic list that can be used to set the value of an individual property?
View 1 RepliesI 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'm using .NET version 4.
I have a simple databound dropdownlist. On top, I have a default selection, '--Please Select--', followed by another default selection, '-- Other --'. Here's the script:

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to setup a page that will utilize a dropdown list control inside of a grid view control using VS 2005 2.0 version. Everything that I can find online seems to only show the use of the dropdown list control using a data grid. I don't want to use a data grid because it doesn't have the functionality/ power as the grid view control. how I can incorporate a dropdown list control with the grid view control?

It happened to add an extra Gridveiw Header in row_databound event , It did worked fine on !Postback but disappered on Page.Postback . Quick google search guided me to move the event to Row_Created event and every thing is okay .
Can any expert post some pointers , differnces between grid row_created vs row_databount with some sample table data created dynamically behaviour of both the events in !Postback and page.Postback .
I have a drop down list that is populated in the page load event from a database table. The drop down has a DataTextField set to a project name and the DataValueField set to the project id (interger). Later I change the dropdowlist selected item with this code in the selectedindexchanged event of a gridview
GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
ddlProjectList.SelectedItem.Text = row.Cells[2].Text;
Does Changing the drop down list with this code cause the DataValueField property to change to the correct Project ID number also? If not is there a better way to do this? actually this code seems to be adding an additional item to the list so that the project i set with this code is listed twice so I don't think my code is correct
ddlCats.DataSource = listOfCats;
ddlCats.DataBind();
If an item contains say, &, it will appear in the ddl as &

View 1 RepliesI would like to count the number of page views. I am able to use the global.asax file and a label to obtain this. However, this gives me the total count of the page. That is great, however I like to count the number of users accessing the page when the user clicks on a particular gridview row value from the previous page.
I have a gridview in the gridview a value that links to a new page. This new page contains the row values. I would like to count the number of users who have accessed this new page based on the gridview row value. As such the page count will be different based on each row.
i have a check box list control that is used for showing related files to some post.
what i want to do is set the databound items "checked" to true by default
then,
if a user unchecks some item and clicks the save button. then the selectedindexchanged will fire and i will do some logic.
what i have done is.
--Set All Databound items to "checked" --
[code]....
in the end i want the item that was unchecked to be removed (all other items will remain checked). but even before that, when the user control is loaded all the files that were bounded are being deleted by the index change event.
I have a main "index" view that has a drop down and a submit button. When a selection is made (CampaignId) and a submit button is pressed a list of items is displayed and filtered based on the selection from the drop down list.
I've added a partial view (on the right rail) of my site that lists a bunch of campaigns. when a link is pressed in that partial view a (CampaignId) is passed to my page and the same thing happends as if you would make a selection from the drop down. The issue is that the dropdown "Campaign Name" should be selected based on the selection from the partial view.

I'm trying to keep track of employees in my database. I have two tables, Employees and Departments. The Employees table contains a foreign key relationship with Departments through a column named DepartmentID.
Here's my entity:
[code]....
I have a page that contains a form to add an employee. I'm passing the entity to my view page, and calling <%: Html.EditorForModel() %>
The problem is that the view creates a textbox for the DepartmentID.
How can I force the view to display a dropdown for DepartmentID that contains all the Departments in my database as the dropdown's list items? Is there a way to do this by just adding a metadata attribute to the property in my entity?
I have a dropdown list which is bound to a gridview. I would like to add a dropdownlist item which, when selected, will default to displaying ALL gridview rows. So I would like as the first dropdown list item "All Items" and have this as the default.
View 2 RepliesI have a gridview with dropdown boxes. As soon as the complete gridview is databound, I want to loop through ALL the rows and set the values of the dropdown boxe in a row based on the value of another column in the same row. The gridview is databound, all data shows up. The condition "If ddl.Items(j).Value = searchstring Then" evaluates as true, but somehow the selected item in the dropdownbox is NOT changed and remains "<ignore>"

I have developed my application using ASP.NET with Visual Basic. I have a table that contains 3 fields. The name of the table is "Customer" and the names of the fields are "Name", "Address", and "Amount". I have a gridview that displays these three columns. I want to summarize the value in the "Amount" column for each record and display the summarize value in the footer of the "Amount" column.
I added some code to the "ItemTemplate" and "FooterTemplate" of the template for the "Amount" field and wrote two functions One function adds the value of the "Amount" field to a variable called "TotalAmount" and the second function 'gets' the value stored in the "TotalAmount" variable.
I am not getting any error messages and all of the items are displayed in the gridview but I am not displaying anything at the bottom of the "Amount" column. What more do I need to do?
This is my code for the "Amount" template:
<asp:TemplateField
HeaderText="Amount"
SortExpression="Amount">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox
ID="TextBox1"
runat="server"
Text='<%# Bind("Amount") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label
ID="Label1"
runat="server"
Text='<%# Bind("Amount", "{0:c}") %>'>
<%#SumAmount(Eval("Amount")) %></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
<%#GetTotalAmount() %></FooterTemplate>
<FooterStyle
BorderColor="Black"
BorderStyle="Solid"
/>
</asp:TemplateField>
This is the code in my .vp file
Dim TotalAmount as decimal 0.0
Function SumAmount(ByVal Amount
As
Decimal)
As
Decimal
TotalAmount = TotalAmount + TotalAmount
End
Function
Function GetTotalAmount()
As
Decimal
Return TotalAmount
End

View 5 RepliesI have a datagrid which displays a list of user data, such as name, his or her status, age. I have created a list of rows of user data but where the column shows status for example Single, Married, i want it to create a dropdown list where i can easily change the user status by selecting it from a dropdown and clicking the update button at the top of the datagrid. The update button will update all records that have been changed not just from the dropdown. I assume the dropdownlist requires a columnbinding event but i can't find any straight forward tutorials.
View 2 RepliesIn my project, I need to create a user control to handle the sorting and pagination of all the grids in the application. The grid however will be different in different pages with different formatting.
I am able to do this by exposing a property from user control which takes gridview as the input.
then in page load, i bind this grid, and assign the sorting and paging event handlers to this gridview variable.
This way I am able to do the sorting and paging, but the problem is I have to bind the grid in all the post backs, and then in the sorting and paging events.
So when a user sorts, I have to bind the grid twice, once in page_load and then in sort event of user control.
I can store the first set of records in viewstate and bind that in page load, but is there any other way, so that i dont need to bind the grid in all post backs but only inside of not postback.
I have a problem displaying data in a Grid View control when set a row to visible = false when a certain condition is true.
For example, if a DataRowData value has a condition set to true (custom in table) I set the visible property to false, so the data row will not be visible at run time.
The problem is that I'm using paging (10 rows per page) and if 8 of those rows fall into the true condition that won't show the row, that grid view page will only show two rows of data in page 1. The worst scenario is that if I go to page 2 of the grid view and all the rows (10) fall into the true condition, that grid view page will not show any data at all.
How can I show 10 rows of data at all times in a gridview? In other words, I would like to just show the visible rows at all times.
I have already stored value of author id in list item value while page loads. but when I change index of drop down list to view author information error is shown. I tried to debug using check points and it seems Sqlreader isn't reading database second time.
