Forms Data Controls :: Unable To Bind Data To DropDownList In DetailsView
Sep 15, 2010
I have a slight issue I awas trying to fix for 2-3 days, but nothing I try works.
The scenario:
DetailsView control in edit mode, I pass parameters to the SqlDataSourceProducts (edit.aspx?id=2) and the data source selects the appropriate data and fills in the DetailsView form.
Except two drop down lists. These two DDLs (DDL2 and DDL3) are dependent on the previous DDL (DDL1) in the DetailsView.
when the selected value of the DDL1 changes, DDL2 and 3 change their lists and get bound to the database.
The problem is: when I edit something from the database, DDL2 and 3 appear empty and when I update any other field and leave these, they get blanked in the database.
My goal is to set the selected value of DDL2 and 3 to the values in the database WHERE ID = QueryStringField="id".
I can go for not binding the data unless the field is changed, but does not sound professional and user friendly.
code:
The SqlDataSource used to select the parameters from the table and populate the DetailsView

The code of the fields that hold the DDLs in the DetailsView control
I have a gridview with a Select button. Clicking the Select button for a particular item, I need its full details displayed in DetailsView. how I can bind to DetailsView? Here is what I have so far.
I use DetailsView to insert rows in database. Row has fields id, subcategory_id etc. I want to fill dynamically dropdownlist ddl_subcategories, which is used in TemplateField. Selected item value of first dropdownlist ddl_categories is used as parameter for generating collection for ddl_subcategories. I try it with using UpdatePanel, but method DataBind returns error "Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.".
I have a listview that is bound to a table. I want to select a record from the listview and that record display in the detailvew from which I can edit. How do you bind these two controls so the detailview uses the records selected in the listview?
How do i use drop down list in the details view? While inserting user should be able to select the "Car Name" from the drop downlist and the "Car Id" should be get inerted into database. Also while editing the appropriate Car Name should be selected in the drop down list.
How the HTML code and the Binding should look for this details view ?
I have a Gridview and two link button in that GridView , one link button click is to add edit row ( Edit ), one link button click is to select row ( Select ). I have a dropdownlist inside row which selected when i click link button Select in the gridview edit template, as of my business logic i need to show the dropdownlist only when the user clicks Edit button and when the user clicks Select button . That mean when the user clicks Select button then they clicks Edit button on the gridvview i should allow him to edit the dropdownlist (showing the value to the user through a label).

When I click Select link button , then I click Edit link button . They have errors : Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index" I don't know what error?. How to fix it
I have GridView control and assosiated DetailView control.
When the record form GridView is seleted, I am showing the details on DetailView.
I have set the Auto generated delete button to true. And now I want to delete the record when someone clicks the Delete button from DetailView control.
I am trying to use a DropDownList in a DetailsView for the ItemTemplate, InsertItemTemplate, and EditItemTemplate. I must bind this DropDownList to a SQL-Server support table using a function that returns a DataTable. I am not allowed to use a SQLDataSource in my backwards IT department. So, not only do I need to load the DropDownList, I also need to make the SelectedValue equal to the current record that I am viewing, editing.
I figure that this should be relatively straightforward, but I still can't get it to work. I have a gridview and a detailsview to set up shifts for students and teachers. I would like to be able to insert new shifts using a detailsview. I will limit the students, teachers and location to items that are in a dropdownlist. The problem is that when I handle the iteminserting event. the e.values collection doesn't contain all of the fields I want to populate. How do I add the new fields to the list. This is my codebehind:
Sub On_Inserting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewInsertEventArgs)
I have a dropdownlist in the edititemtemplate of a detailsview. The dropdownlist is bound with an objectdatasource. The detailsview is bound to a seperate objectdatasource which connects it to the insert method. When the page loads the dropdownlist is bound properly. However, when I make a selection and select insert I get the following error: Could not find a property named 'DeptID' on the type specified by the DataObjectTypeName property in ObjectDataSource 'objCurrentProduct'. I've tried to remove the SelectedValue='<%# Bind("DeptID") %> attribute. I can then insert without an exception being thrown but the selected value of the dropdown is not recognized. Here is the code:
I have a template field in a Details View which is a dropdown selection of values.While I can get the value of the textfields in the DetailsView by using: DetailsView1.Rows(i).Cells(1).Text.ToStringI don't know how do extract a value from a dropdownlist2 contained in the DetailsView.
I've got a master table and a child table. The master table has a nullable column called ReferenceID and in some cases it should be NULL, but when it's null in a record, I get an error while going to Edit mode of DetailsView.
In Read Only mode all everything is OK, but when I click on Edit and Postback happens, I get the following error: Server Error in '/Sample' Application. 'DropDownList_Reference ' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.Parameter name: value It means that in MasterTable, the ReferenceID shouldn't be NULL, but it should be in some cases.
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.
