View 4 RepliesI 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.
View 4 RepliesI've got a DropDownList in my <EditTemplate> and i'd like to fill it by data from database
(I can't use SqlDatasSource).
How to do that?
i was trying something like that
((DropDownList)((DetailsView)sender).FindControl("autor")).DataSource = MethodIveCreate();
((DropDownList)((DetailsView)sender).FindControl("autor")).DataBind();
on DetailsViewChanging method nut i've got error :/
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'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.
DB Tables:
MasterTable [Columns: MasterTableID (PK), Name, ReferenceID (FK)(Nullable)]
ReferenceTable [Columns: ReferenceID (PK), Reference]
<asp:DetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateRows="False">

Select Queries:
Select MasterTable.*, ReferenceTable.Reference

ReferenceTable ON MasterTable.ReferenceID = ReferenceTable.ReferenceID
Select * from ReferenceTable
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. 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.

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 am using visual studio 2008 vb. i have a dropdownlist in my detailsview populated with product id. when i select an id, the product name will appear on a label. however, when i change the product id in the dropdownlist, an error occur "Conversion from string "ProductName" to type 'Integer' is not valid." Here's the code file.
Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim lbl As Label = DetailsViewOrderDetails.FindControl("Label4")
Dim ddl As DropDownList = DetailsViewOrderDetails.FindControl("DropDownList1")
lbl.Text = ddl.SelectedValue("ProductName").ToString()
End Sub

I've been struggling with trying to figure out how to do this for about 2 weeks now. I have a DetailsView with several template fields in it. The first field (Unit_Code) is a dropdownlist item where the user would select a Unit based off the Unit_Code's Unit Name. Further down I have a field named (System), system needs to get it's value from the selectedvalue or selectedindex that the user selected in the (Unit_Code) dropdownlist. I have another dropdownlist item (Component) that will need to get the selected value from System to sort on, so once I have the first Unit_Code to System figured out I should be able to figure out the System to Component part seeing as it will basically be doing the same thing.

I am using Visual Studio 10/ASP4 but I am sure this problem is me. I created a program and got it all working. GridView and DetailsView, edit, insert and delete all works. :-)... I have spent 4 solid days attempting to have a simple DropDownList with three items on it EDIT a record. Lots of GOOGLeing for suggestions. It just will not work. The insert dropdown works fine(thats how I created the record). I wrote a new simplified program with just the detailsview and the edititem dropdownlist. Still can't get it to work. The detailsview data has a record and the "mode" field (char(20)) has three letters "FTP" in it. The letters display on the Detailsview. I can edit fine but when I add the following drop down list the page aborted with a
"'DropmodeEdit' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.
Parameter name: value"
Yet there is only one record and it HAS "FTP" in it! The list has FTP in it? I just don't get it, why?
I added an ondatabinding routine and breakpointed it in the try/catch and found the selectedindex pointed to the correct entry and the items list had the correct entry with no spurious data or spaces. The data being passed displayed good in the detailsview, Am I correct in assuming that is bound to the dropdownlist automatically? or is there some majic that I did not get from Rob Burke?
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="mode" SortExpression="mode" >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList DataValueField="mode" DataTextField="mode" ID="DropmodeEdit" Runat="server"
OnDataBinding="mode_OnDataBinding" AppendDataBoundItems="True"

I have used a dropdownlist once before with a datasource instead of listitems, this should be easier?
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:

I have EntityDataSource for DetailsView which is in Edit mode by default (showin Update, Cancel link buttons).
This datasource also has foreign key called PecID. If I change the value in textbox bound to PecID, it works fine.
Entering IDs is not very user friendly, so I add dropdownlist and new datasource.
When I select new value from dropDownList and press update the DropDownList's selection is restored to original (previous) value.
Other values in textboxes are saved as expected.
After few hours of trying to figure out what is going on, I got lucky. I figure out that it is important the order of TextBox and DropDownList in field template.
This is the working order (textbox before DropDownList)

This one doesn't work [Code]....
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?
How can we add a drop down calendar to one of the cell of details view.
Actually i want to add three drop down list one for month , other for year and third one for days.
I've got a dropdownlist control that the user can select an an employee name and that should then fill in the detailsview control with specific information about that employee.

I´m trying to link the gridview to detailsview and I used this page as my inspiration:
http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/ctrlref/data/detailsview.aspx
But I´m trying to do that programmatically, not with the sqldatasource. So I wrote the method that binds data to Detailsview and I call it in the page_load. The problem is that I have to click two times on the select button to view the detailsview. The first time I click on the select button nothing happens.
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.

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowSorting="True" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="10" OnPageIndexChanging="countryGrid_PageIndexChanging"
CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" Width="400px" Font-Size="9pt" [code].....
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.".
There's code of web form
