Forms Data Controls :: Populate Dropdown List With Column Names?
Apr 16, 2010
populating the dropdownlist with column name. I have a gridview that has 7 columns . I want to have a textbox search and dropdownfield where user can select column name and type a word in search box and click search so that text for that column name is being search and displayed in grid. how I can fetch just column names from DB and search ?
Using a gridView to read some data from a SQL database. The user can select a record in the gridview. On the SelectedIndexChanged property I populate this to a couple of text boxes & drop down list; txtCountry,ddlProvince,ddlCity.
I have special characters in France ( accent marks) and when I populate it to the drop down list it fails giving out the error message "SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items".
Example of items that I try to populate are as follows. ( separated by commas) ÃŽLE-DE-FRANCE , PROVENCE-ALPES-CÔTE D'AZUR , RHÔNE-ALPES, DRÔME,ISÈRE ........ When I looked in the drop down lists for Province and Cities I see those Provinces there in the item list. When I debug line by line the word ÃŽLE-DE-FRANCE comes out like ÎLE-DE-FRANCE which is not there in the drop down list. Got to know the ÃŽ is typed by pressing down ALT+206 and lloks like this is what is coming in at the start of the string above.

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.

I have a gridview where i have two fields. one is product and second is sub category.
I need to do 2 things.
1. I need to populate the two combos from the database. But depending what is selected in dropdown 1 this will determine what needs to be populated in drop down 2?
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.
i have 3 dropdown list box 3rd dropdown populate depending on 2nd drop down and 2nd drop down populate depnding on 1st value of drop down in asp .NET C#
I'm designing my own custom control that contains a .NET dropdownlist. What I'm wondering is if it is possible to populate my dropdownlist with listitems placed in a placeholder? For example:
This doesn't work because the DropDownList control only allows ListItems as child controls. But, I want to do something similar to this so when the user includes my control on a page, they can do something like this:
I need getting a drop down list selection to populate a calendar. The user selects a vehicle from the dropdownlist and based on that selection, the calendar needs to populate a link with drivers names on whatever days the vehicle is rented out for.
I have been working with this database for some time. Here is the situation...
I inherited a MS SQL database that has hundreds of tables with similar data. For instance:
FordTampa_customer is a table,
ChevyAtlanta_customer is a table, etc....
All of the columns are the same...just different tables with their own ID field. All I have done...Inside of another database id is created a table called 'Customer' and added an 'Dealer ID' column along with the rest of the other columns in the other tables...
So the combination of the 'Dealer ID' and the 'ID' field are unique.....I know...its not the best way to do things...but I cannot change the old data structure because I cannot have access to it. I am give back-ups on a weekly basis, so this is all I have to work with.
All right, on to the real point of my post...
Currently, I have an application that I use to select all of the data from the 'Ford_customers','Chevy_customers',etc... and inserts them into my new main 'Customer' table. I do this by selecting the table names, bind it to an arraylist, loop through the list and execute an insert statement.
I do this in VB.NET, but I would prefer to do it in a Stored procedure of some kind....I just am not sure how to accomplish it. I use this syntax to get my list of tables:
[Code]....
I am not sure how to take those names from the table and do another select based on that list of names.
I would like to alter the query that is run, depending on the selection made by the user in a drop down list on the same page. Would this best be done using a partial page update (AJAX)? Ideally it would be great to have the textbox result change quickly once the drop-down list value has changed, without a full page postback. I would like to change the SQL query to a completely different query if the user selects an option different to the default (page_load value) in the drop-down list. I would then like the newly retrieved result to be displayed in the textbox as before.
i seem to have a problem with my gridview, i have a gridview with a list of names, this gridview is assign to a datasource and the datasource already has a select statement to display a list of names to my gridview, and i have a search dialog which i use to filter data to be displayed on my gridview, my problem iS after filtering , when a user select a certain row the gridview refreshes and display the initial data(it binds again the use the default setted select query). On my search i use
to filter the grid according to my search criteria, which is the one i have assigned its select to the string varieble filterQuery.
That works fine, and dispaly only d data i setted my search to retrieve, bt my problem is when a user select a row on d gridview , d gridview is repopulated with d initial data(Use initially datasource select statment). How to make d grid to stick to d select statement that i setted on my search and not letting it to go back to the initial setted select.
I have a dropdown list with the names of the months listed in it. These names are stored as int values but converted to string for display purpose. I also have a RadDatePicker control that will allow the user to select a specific date to overwrite the default date. The default date in the textbox needs to be set to the last day of the month selected (i.e. May 2010 would default to 05/31/2010).
