Set Dropdownlist Selected Value On Initial Page Load
Jul 22, 2010I posted a similar question previously, but none of the answers worked and I've been scouring all over the web trying to find a solution. My situation, I have a Edit Window webform with a dropdownlist (Note: to avoid confusion, I'm using Telerik extensions only to decorate the webform):
<%@ Page Language="VB" CodeFile="EditFormVB.aspx.vb" Inherits="EditFormVB" %>
<%@ Register Namespace="CustomBoundField" TagPrefix="custom" %>

}
function GetRadWindow() {
var oWindow = null;
if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow; //Will work in Moz in all cases, including clasic dialog
else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow; //IE (and Moz as well)
return oWindow;
}
function CancelEdit() {
GetRadWindow().close();
}

And in the code behind, I'm setting the datasource for the dropdownlist and using a function to query the DB for the name of the value I want to set as the selected value when the page loads initially: Partial Class EditFormVB Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Public Shared category_Name As String = ""
Dim ddlDataSource As New SqlDataSource
Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
DetailsView1.DefaultMode = DetailsViewMode.Edit
End Sub
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Me.Page.Title = "Editing record"
''Setup DropDownList SqlDataSource
ddlDataSource.ID = "ReqCategoryData"
Page.Controls.Add(ddlDataSource)
ddlDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("TTPRODReportsQuery").ConnectionString
ddlDataSource.SelectCommand = "SELECT TS_NAME AS ReqCategory FROM dbo.TS_SELECTIONS WHERE (TS_FLDID = 5299 AND TS_STATUS = 0) ORDER BY TS_NAME"
Dim args As New DataSourceSelectArguments
ddlDataSource.Select(args)
''Set max length of Title field to 70 characters
Dim dvrTest As DetailsViewRowCollection = DetailsView1.Rows
Dim TitleTB As TextBox = dvrTest.Item(0).Cells(1).Controls(0)
TitleTB.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "isMaxLen(this)")
TitleTB.Attributes.Add("maxlength", "70")
Dim myDDL As DropDownList = DetailsView1.FindControl("reqCategoryDropDown")
''Perform dropdown list population operations
If Page.IsPostBack = False Then
Dim ticket_ID As String = getDataKey(DetailsView1)
''Fetch Category ID
Dim sqlText As String = "SELECT TS_REQCATEGORY FROM USR_ITFAC WHERE (TS_ID = " + ticket_ID + ") "
Dim reqDataReader As SqlDataReader = GetDataReader(sqlText)
reqDataReader.Read()
Dim category_ID As String = reqDataReader(0)
''Fetch Category name using the categoryID and set as selected value in dropdown list
sqlText = "SELECT TS_NAME FROM TS_SELECTIONS WHERE (TS_ID = " + category_ID + ") "
reqDataReader = GetDataReader(sqlText)
reqDataReader.Read()
category_Name = reqDataReader(0)
myDDL.DataBind()
myDDL.Selectedvalue = category_Name //<--this value gets set only when debugging,
End If
End Sub
Private Function GetDataReader(ByVal sqlText As String) As SqlDataReader
Dim dr As SqlDataReader
Dim sqlConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("TTPRODReportsQuery").ConnectionString)
sqlConn.Open()
Dim sqlCmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(sqlText, sqlConn)
dr = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
Return dr
End Function
End Class
The dropdownlist does get populated appropriately, however when I attempt to set the value, it doesn't reflect when the page loads; the dropdownlist just gets populated and no value is set to selected in the markup, so the first value is shown by default. The odd thing is that when I'm debugging, the value appears to get set when I step through the function, it's as if the selectedvalue is getting reset as soon as the function exits and proceeds to load the page.
SOLUTION: Had to add a separate function that is called onLoad from the DropDownList after the after Page_Load is done executing. Still unresolved is why the the DropDownList rebinds after the Page_Load.
IN HTML:
<asp:DropDownList DataSourceID="ReqCategoryData" DataTextField="ReqCategory" DataValueField="ReqCategory"
ID="reqCategoryDropDown" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnLoad="DDL_DataBound">
IN CODE-BEHIND
Public Shared category_Name As String = ""

Security :: Change Password Template - Reset The Control To Initial Stage?
Jul 10, 2010I have converted the change password control to a template. It is inside an update panel. After changing the password the confirm button takes the user to the success step by updating the update panel. Then by clicking the OK button, I would like to reset the password changer to its initial state so that the user can change the password again. Right now I am not sure how this is done and the control simply remains at the second step, telling the user "password has been changed" . User can press OK. What must I write in the OK button click event to reset the password control to its original state?

State Management :: Viewstate And Dropdownlist / Initial Selection Is Lost Each Time The Page Refreshes
Jan 13, 2011I have a simple search page with a drop down list that I would like the value to persist on refresh..basically the user will select their location from the dropdownlist and this will be used to populate a gridview. After this the page is set to refresh at a set interval and use the same location data initially selected by the user. However the initial selection is lost each time the page refreshes.
p.s system is to old for ajax!
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="300" />
<script runat="server">
Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("****").ConnectionString
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If Not IsPostBack Then
Dim conn As SqlConnection
conn = New SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim Locationcommandtext As String
Locationcommandtext = "SELECT * FROM [Location] ORDER BY [Location]"
Dim loccomm As SqlCommand
loccomm = New SqlCommand(Locationcommandtext, conn)
Dim reader As SqlDataReader
Try
conn.Open()
reader = loccomm.ExecuteReader()
Locations.DataSource = reader
Locations.DataValueField = "LocationID"
Locations.DataTextField = "Location"
Locations.DataBind()
Catch ex As SqlException
Response.Write("SQL Error:

View 5 RepliesChange Page Localization With Asp:DropDownList?
Mar 24, 2011I have localized application where user can choose her preferred language in dropdown control. After OnSelectedIndexChanged event there is postback and CurrentThread.CurrentCulture should be set to what user chooses.
Login.aspx.cs
public partial class Login : BasePage
{
protected void LanguageDrop_changed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var lang = LanguageDropDown.SelectedValue;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(lang);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(lang);
}
}
However, it does not work correct because LanguageDrop_click event fires after InitializeCulture so some default culture is initialized, controls are localized to default language and then CurrentThread.CurrentCulture is set. So user have to refresh page once more to see them in chosen language.
UPDATE: I found partial answer: [URL] He retrieves language dropdown value in InitializeCulture() event from Form collection

Web Forms :: Change Items In DropDownList In Code Behind?
Dec 3, 2010I have two DropDownLists; DropDownListStart displays the hours 09:00 - 19:00 and DropDownListStop displays 10:00 - 20:00. When the user chooses one of the hours in DropDownListStart I want the program to adjust what's shown in DropDownListStop so that the first hour shown is one hour after the hour chosen in DropDownListStart. How can I do that in code behind (c#)? An example: if the user choses 13:00 in DropDownListStart I want DropDownListStop to display only 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00.
