How To Add List Items To Dropdownlist In A Formview With Vb.net

Nov 26, 2010

I have a dropdownlist in a formview that looks like this:

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList5" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="True"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource6" DataTextField="StaffName"
DataValueField="StaffName" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("LetterName") %>'
Width="155px">
<asp:ListItem Value=""> </asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

I am trying to add the value from a textbox which is also in the formview into the dropdownlist as a list item. I currently have this code for it:
Protected Sub Formview1_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FormView1.PreRender
Dim dropdown As DropDownList
Dim listvalue As TextBox
dropdown = FormView1.FindControl("dropdownlist5")
listvalue = FormView1.FindControl("textbox1")
dropdown.Items.Add(New ListItem(listvalue.Text, listvalue.Text))
End Sub

This code works and adds the new item to the dropdownlist if I have no SelectedValue set for my dropdownlist. However when I set the selectedValue I get the error message:

"'DropDownList5' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.

Parameter name: value"

This is the bit I dont understand because the value does now exist in the list of items as it was added in from the textbox value. Does it try to do the selectedValue before adding my list item? If so how can I add the list item first, or do I need to set the selectedValue in the code after adding the list item?

Web Forms :: How To Get List Of VALUES (not Items) From A Dropdownlist

Oct 11, 2010

I see that dropdownlist has an "items" property to get the list of displayed items for a dropdown, but it doesn't seem to have an equivalent property for getting the "values" associated with the items. For example, I may have a dropdown that displays "High", "Medium" and "Low", but returns values of "H", "M", "L". How can I easily get that list of HML?

Add Ability To Provide List Items To Composite Control With DropDownLIst?

May 7, 2010

I'm creating a composite control for a DropDownList (that also includes a Label). The idea being that I can use my control like a dropdown list, but also have it toss a Label onto the page in front of the DDL.

I have this working perfectly for TextBoxes, but am struggling with the DDL because of the Collection (or Datasource) component to populate the DDL.
Basically I want to be able to do something like this:
<ecc:MyDropDownList ID="AnimalType" runat="server" LabelText="this is what will be in the label">
<asp:ListItem Text="dog" Value="dog" />
<asp:ListItem Text="cat" Value="cat" />
</ecc:MyDropDownList>

The problem is, I'm not extending the DropDownList class for my control, so I can't simply work it with that magic. I need some pointers to figure out how I can turn my control (MyDropDownList), which is currently just a System.Web.UI.UserControl, into something that will accept List items within the tag and ideally, I'd like to be able to plug it into a datasource (the same functions that the regular DDL offers).

I tried with no luck just extending the regular DDL, but couldn't get the Label component to fly with it.

Web Forms :: DropDownList Has A SelectedValue Which Is Invalid Because It Does Not Exist In The List Of Items?

Mar 5, 2010

I have a page with some bound DropDownLists (DDLs) for a Call Logging system. The Calls are categorised on three levels for example:

Call: 3069, Category 1: Incident, Category 2: Microsoft Application, Category 3: Word would be used to organise calls for problems with Microsoft Word. On testing the system, I noticed that there was no handling for opening a call if the category had been deleted - say for reorganisation/systems no longer supported whatever. So I set about trying to make the program behave in the following manner:

Check category ID exists in DDL before bindingIt doesn't: set the displayed text of the DDL to Category Name + "(Deleted)"Disable the control to prevent user changingMove on to next control Seemed simple enough, however no matter which way I try and do it I always get the messase ddl_Cat1 has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. What's really puzzling me is that the exception doesn't seem to be being thrown in the code behind. I've gone through line by line from Page_Init and it never throws and exception. Just when the page loads this appears.

Does anyone know of a reason as to why this wouldn't work? (I've already tried setting the selected value to an existing item, adding a new list item with the value and setting DataSource property to Nothing - in all different combinations.)

Templates - Populate List Items In Dropdown List From Placeholder?

Feb 24, 2010

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:

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlFilter" runat="server" >
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="ListItemPlaceholder" runat="server"/>
</asp:DropDownList>

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:

<mytag:MyControl Mode="DropDown" runat="server">
<ListItemTemplate>
<asp:ListItem Text="C" Value="c"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="E" Value="e"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="B" Value="b"></asp:ListItem>
</ListItemTemplate>
</myTag:MyControl>

I know I can do this by dynamically adding the ListItems in the page code behind, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Forms Data Controls :: Save All FormView Items At Once?

Oct 29, 2010

I have a page that displays information about a patient's case. The page has some textboxes, labels, etc., and it also has a FormView. The FormView displays details for a particular TEST for this case. The user can page through the different tests, and change some of the data.

There is a button on the page to save all of the case information. I need to save ALL of the tests bound in the FormView.

The two issues are:

I can't save the Test until the user clicks the "Save Case" button (because this is when the case is first inserted into the DB).I would like to avoid have a "save test" button inside of the FormView (because then the user has to page through all tests and save each one manually)How would I do this? I thought about saving the test info in Session somehow.

I have a page with some TextBox controls and also a FormView control that displays details for a particular version of a test. The user can page through the different versions. The user can edit some of the fields in the FormView.

C# - Not Possible To Load DropDownList On FormView From Code Behind?

Mar 12, 2010

I have a UserControl, containing a FormView, containing a DropDownList. The FormView is bound to a data control. Like so:

<asp:FormView ID="frmEdit" DataKeyNames="MetricCode" runat="server"
DefaultMode="Edit" DataSourceID="llbDataSource" Cellpadding="0" >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ParentMetricCode" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("ParentMetricCode") %>' />

I am trying to populate the DropDownList from the codebehind. If this was not contained in a FormView, I would normally just do it in the Page_Load event. However, that does not work within a FormView, as as soon as I try to do it, accessing the dropdownlist in code, ie: theListcontrol = CType(formView.FindControl(listControlName), System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListControl)

the data binding mechansim of the FormView is invoked, which, of course, tries to bind the DropDownList to the underlying datasource, causing a *'ParentMetricCode' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value * error, since the DropDownList has not yet been populated. I tried performing the load in the DataBinding() event of the FormView, but then:

theListcontrol = CType(formView.FindControl(listControlName), System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListControl) fails, as the FormView.Controls.Count = 0 at that point. Is this impossible? (I do not want to have to use a secondary ObjectDataSource to bind the dropdownlist to)

Dropdown List In FormView Not Declared?

Mar 9, 2010

Im tring to get a CMS up and running for work and come to the conclution that the FormView is the way to go.

I have an edit page and would like to have a dropdown list where people pick a "Parent", for my site map/Navigation, from the list instead of needing to know the ID of the Parent. I can do this for my "Add New Page", with no FormView, but when I place it within the formView for my Edit Page the DropDownList1 stops being declared.

So what I need is something like: Parent = Dropdownlist1.serlectedItem.Valu But have no Idea how to achieve this using my FromView, two ObjectDataSource's and the dropdown list.

I have tried to link a asp:Lable text to the value of the Dropdownlist so I can pass that back to the DB with no luck.

The Code behind is as good as blank so may need to add stuff in there but again cant if I cannot declare anything within the For View :(

DataSource Controls :: Linking A FormView And DropDownList Together With SQL?

Jan 19, 2010

I'm having trouble linking a form view I have on a web page with a drop down list on the same page. Basically, what I need to happen is whenever a new selection is chosen from the drop down list, the details in the form view should also change to represent that selection's criteria.

I have my drop down list connected to SQLDataSource1 and my form view to SQLDataSource2, and these are populating as expected, it's just the problem lies when changing the selection in the drop down list - the form view doesn't follow what is selected.

does anything have to be added in the properties options of either the data source controls or the form view? For example, in the "Events" section, there is a "DataBinding" and "DataBound" selection item that can be used - should anything be entered in this to connect the two?

PS - Here is the code I have in the back end of the page:
