How To Add Default Listitem To Dropdownlist
Sep 25, 2010
I have a databound dropdownlist, bound to an object datasource. I want to have a default value of "None" inserted at the top of the list and I would like to do this declaritively if possible. After much googling I came up with the below code. However it does not display my default item. I was under the impression that setting the AppendDataBoundItems to True would solve this, however it hasn't.
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddl" DataSourceID="ldsCompany" DataTextField="CompanyName" DataValueField="CompanyId" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CompanyId") %>' AppendDataBoundItems="True">
<asp:ListItem Value="DefaultValue" Text="DefaultText"/>
</asp:DropDownList>

I have a listbox on the parameter selection page.
The .css style for the listbox is defined as:
.listBoxStyle
{
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica;
font-size: 100%;
text-align: right;
}
As a default, there is an item selected on the listbox. But the colour appears blue of the item selected. I want to change the colour of the selected item.

I have a DropDownList.
I need populate it with item collected in a List<ListItem>.
In my script, collector has been populated properly.
But I cannot populate the DropDownList. I receive an error:
DataBinding: 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem' does not contain a property with the name 'UserName'."}
<asp:DropDownList ID="uxListUsers" runat="server" DataTextField="UserName"
DataValueField="UserId">
List<ListItem> myListUsersInRoles = new List<ListItem>();
foreach (aspnet_Users myUser in context.aspnet_Users)
{
// Use of navigation Property EntitySet
if (myUser.aspnet_Roles.Any(r => r.RoleName == "CMS-AUTHOR" || r.RoleName == "CMS-EDITOR"))
myListUsersInRoles.Add(new ListItem(myUser.UserName.ToString(), myUser.UserId.ToString()));
}
uxListUsers.DataSource = myListUsersInRoles; // MAYBE PROBLEM HERE????
uxListUsers.DataBind();

I have a question about adding a ListItem to a DropDownList that is being bound by a SqlDataSource.
My Intention is to be able to add an item with something like "0" as a value and "--- Choose Something---" as the item.
However, the control is filled using a SqlDataSource for the DataSource.
So, the question is:
Is it possible to insert the value "0" and item "--- Choose Something---" to the control even though the control has a datasource from the database?

Now i have a dropdown combo which is manually binded to Builder Table , what i want is that it would disable all those builders in the dropdown to be selected which are residing in Project Table.

I have the following Dropdown List
[code]....
My problem is that some of the users that used to be in the list have left the company so we want to mark them inactive. When they are inactive they should not show up in the DDL to be selected to be assigned to. But there are existing records that they are already assigned to. If they are no longer able to be assigned their is a column called IsActive in the db that is set to 0. The Datasource filters for only == 1 when filling the datasource.
When it tries to render the control where a selected value is not in the list the Browser throws an error. I can not seem to find an event where I can intercept and set a value that is legal.
The solution I would like would be to add the listItem to the Control in the code behind then call the bind("AssignedTo") in the code behind instead of in the aspx page. This way linq would still handing the update of the DB record for the update event.

I am adjusting my DropDownList on my MASTERPAGE to point to resourcefiles - like this:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="Language1" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="Language1_SelectedIndexChanged">
<asp:ListItem value="0" Text="<%$ Resources:SiteMapLocalizations, DropDownSelect1%>"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="0" Text="<%$ Resources:SiteMapLocalizations, DropDownSelect2%>"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="0" Text="<%$ Resources:SiteMapLocalizations, DropDownSelect3%>"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
Problem now is that my SelectedIndexChanged has broken its funktionality in MasterPage.master.vb:
Protected Sub Language1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim cookie As New HttpCookie("SelLang")
cookie.Value = Language1.SelectedValue
Response.SetCookie(cookie)
Response.Redirect(Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri)
this is for the redirecting to the referrer page
End Sub

[VS 2010 RC1, .NET 4.0, VB.NET]
I'm working with a simple UserControl someone at my company created. It's basically just a DropDownList with a RequiredFieldValidator and some added properties (such as "Required", which controls the CSS styling of the DropDownList and whether the RequiredFieldValidator is Enabled or not).
Here is an example of the UserControl usage where a SqlDataSource is used to populate the ListItemCollection. I'm trying to specify an intial ListItem below (and would like the ability to add multilple ListItems if necessary) but can't seem to get this to work...
[Code]....
My code-behind looks as follows:
[Code]....
I've found several posts related to this but cannot seem to get the declarative ListItem to be added to the DropDownList.
I understand that using a WebControl is another option, but I'd like to learn how to get this method to work if possible.

I have a dropdownlist that is being populated using linq. The code for linq is below
[Code]....
When the page is viewed the dropdownlist show the following;towels, shoes, etc. What I would like is the default item to be nothing. That is when the page is viewed then the drop down list should show something like this "select category". Right now it is starting by showing towels, which is quite irritating, since if I want to see towels I first have to select something else and then go back and select it!

I have a field that is a DropDownList. When in the insert mode I want that field to be blank - It currently is displaying the first record in the table it pulls from. I was expecting to see an initial value setting in the DropDownList properties but do not. For example - suppose I have a field named locations that consist of 4 location (below). In "Insert" mode, location currently displays Dallas. I want it to be set to blank initially and the user select one. What am I mssing?

I have several pages linked together that I want to maintain drop down selections for. I've seen a number of ways to do this with session values, etc, but I want to set the default value while still having the option of selecting other values.
Effectively, users will make selections on page 1 and then on page 2 they will use those same selections, but also potentially want to change their selections. My thought was that I could load the selections into a table in SQL in page 1 and then in page 2 call that table and set the values as variables. My question, then, is how I would set the default dropdown value to be a variable as opposed to a set value.
I am using VisualStudio2010 with ASP Webforms using C#.

I have a dropdownlist on my view that is being populated from values in a database table and I've added a "--Select One--" header. Selecting a value from this list is optional (it maps to a nullable field in my table). Currently, if a user doesn't select a value from the ddl then it inserts an empty string into the field, wherease I'd prefer to keep it NULL.

I have a dropdownlist that is not bound to a datasource, I have hard coded a few items in the list cause the list is always constant and will never grow and there are only 4 entries init. Anyway, after i load the page and make a selection from the dropdownlist and do a postback, the dropdown always returns to the default selection...which tells the users to make a selection.How do I get the dropdown to keep the selected value after the postback? I want to be able to display the selected value all through until another selection is made.

The intension is to get the all text file names in the drop down present in a particular location. When a user selects any filename from the drop down, it will show the data which is in that particular text file in a GridView.
I've done both the steps and it's almost complete but i stuck on a small issue. Probably because of non-usage of ASP.NET for a long period of time. The problem is, the drop down only selects the default value not other values.Here's my code for DropDown Selected Index Change
protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:myLogs");

For my ASP.NET page, in the code behind I load various items/options into a DropDownList but I do not set a default by assigning SelectedIndex. I notice for the postback SelectedIndex is set to 0, even if I never set focus to or changed the value in the DropDownList.
If not otherwise specified in the code behind or markup, will a default value of 0 be used for the SelectedIndex in a postback with a DropDownList? If yes, is this part of the HTML standard for selection lists, or is this just the way it is implemented for ASP.NET?

I have a form in which I have a gridview with a LinkButton culumn in which when the user clciks a modal popup extender shows up. In the modalpopup I have a dropdownlist which is filled from DB in code behind. but when the user clicks on Add button in modalpopup panel, the selected value of the dropdownliast is always its default value.
[Code]....
here is my code behind:
[Code]....
I traced my code behind, the fillData() which fills up dropDownList is called only once in page load's first time.
PS. I understood the problem exists only when the modal is poped up by linkbutton click of gridview. when It is poped up by a button outside the grid it workes fine.
