<%= Html.DropDownList("couriers", Model.Couriers, "--Select--")%>
will show a drop down with --Select-- as the first text im the drop down
Now its value rendered is ""
how can i set its value to "0"
I binded the dropdown from the table Languages, now it shows all the languages:
ViewData("Languages") =
New SelectList(objLang,
"SysLanguageID",
"LanguageName")
Now when I click the edit then the dropdown should show the selectedvalue based on the languageId that is in stored in the Preferences table under the user.If i give the third parameter as the selectedvalue it is showing the selected value but it is not showing the other languages.
I have a databound dropdownlist on a page, where in the page_load I set the selectedValue (inside a 'not isPostBack').
Although the page displays fine and shows the correct item as selected.. inside the page_load if I try and get the selectedValue() and display it to the screen, I always get null... selectedIndex is -1.
I have a button, which when clicked refers to this ddl's selectedValue, and here it pulls through the the expected result.. so how come I can't see it immediately after setting it, while still in page_load?
edit: the code..
ddl declaration
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="dlCountryList" DataSourceID="dsCountryList"
DataValueField="countrylistid" DataTextField="description">
</asp:DropDownList>
and the page_load
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
dlCountryList.SelectedValue = "GR"
Response.Write("*" + CStr(dlCountryList.SelectedIndex) + "*")
End Sub
I have a ASP.Net webform with a DropDownList control. This Dropdown gets it's values from a states table in an ObjectDatasource. The Dropdown contains states spelled out.
If I try to set the drop down to:
DropDownStates.SelectdValue = "Ohio"
I get an error that the value does not exist in the dropdown even though it does exist. But if I pad the value with the correct number of spaces to the right, it works like so:
DropDownStates.SelectdValue = "Ohio "
or
DropDownStates.SelectdValue = "Michigan "
How can I either define the dropdown without trailing spaces in the value of the dropwdown or set the SelectedValue with adding trailing spaces?
I have a bit of a problem with a DropDownList I am using. When the user changes the SelectedIndex, they get redirected to the same page, but with a query string on the end based on their selected value.
Because I'm not posting, and redirecting instead, the state of the dropdownbox is not saved, so it always defaults to the first one.But, if I save it in say a session, or set the selectedvalue according to the query string in Page_Load, when the user selects another listitem, the selection they have chosen is overridden by the selection delcared in Page_Load.
My problem is I need to set selected value of a drop down list to a value I retreive from a database. The example only has a know value.
Below is the HTML and Code.
<asp:DropDownList
id="ddlCatogory1st1"
DataSourceID="srcCatogory1st1"
DataTextField="CategoryName"
DataValueField="CategoryID"
AutoPostBack="true"
Runat="server" />
<asp:sqldatasource id="srcCatogory1st1"
ConnectionString="server=(local);database=db;Trusted_Connection=true"
SelectCommand="SELECT CategoryID, CategoryName FROM Categories WHERE ParentCategoryID is null ORDER BY CategoryID"
Runat="server" ></asp:sqldatasource>
Sub Page_Load()
DISPLAY_CATEGORY()
End Sub
Sub DISPLAY_CATEGORY()
ddlCatogory1st1.DataBind()
ddlCatogory1st1.Items.FindByValue("A").Selected = True
End Sub
When I run this page I get
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source Error:
Line 222:
Line 223: Sub DISPLAY_CATEGORY()
Line 224: ddlCatogory1st1.DataBind()
Line 225: ddlCatogory1st1.Items.FindByValue("A10").Selected = True
Line 226: End Sub
Even if I take out the databind I get the same error.
I've been all over the Internet looking for an acceptable solution to this issue, but didn't find one, so hopefully I'll have more luck here. I've got a Html.DropDownList control in my application that pulls in a set of values from the database. That works just fine. However, I want to set the selected value in code, which has never worked correctly. This is, in my opinion, one of the worst implementations of Html helpers in MVC. Here's the culprit:
[Code]....
OK, it takes in a list of statuses and gets the text/value options set without a problem, but doesn't ever render the selected value on the option with a value (ID) of "5". I've stepped through the code as it is assigning these values, and it
does set the value of that option to select = true, but the rendered html doesn't reflect this. I recall something about this helper using the Model to set its selected value, but why will it not allow the value to be explicitly set? Even better, if for some reason explicitly setting this in code isn't going to work, why allow it as viable code, and just silently fail? I'm all for this coding by convention approach MVC has taken, but when the convention is explicitly overridden in code, the code should prevail, I would think.
I have a DropDownList being filled from a data base. Now, when I select the drop down arrow, is there a way to set the size of how many lines to show initially ?
Like: DropDownList2.Attributes.Add("Size", "16")
I cannot find an event when clicking the drop down arrow.
I can't get the following to set on page load. I want the month selected be the current month, on page load. What needs to change here?

I have a repeater with a DropDownList in it. I set the datasource of this list in the itembound event en set the selectedindex. When I debug the selectedindex is set, but when the page is done loading for all the item the default item is selected.
protected void Repeater1_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
var ddl = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("DataFeedItems");
ddl.DataSource = FilterDropDownData();
ddl.DataTextField = "ColumnName";
ddl.DataValueField = "ColumnName";
ddl.DataBind();
[code]...
So I have a major issue and cannot find any solution online to solve it excepting one that is singlistviews. But i am also encounting some probs with listviews since i am not sure of to use it.Anyways so my major issue is that I have drop down lists that are being populated by a sqldatasource. Users are filling out a form selecting values in the drop down list which is fine, the prob exists with editing a record. I have the dataValuefield to be the Id of the data and the selected item in the dropdownlist id is being stored in a database. So I have the data in the database that is the Id of the selected item however I cant use the dropdownlist1.selectValue ='idNo' since that only works with listitems.
How can i access the dynamic rows in a dropdownlist that is being populated by a sqldatasource and set the selected item to a particular item?Any insight is greatly welcome. Even how to use listviews
I have a WebForms page that has two DropDownList controls on it that both contain a range of temperatures from 60-80 degrees, one for heating the other for cooling. They are declared in the .aspx as:
<asp:DropDownList ID="heating" runat="server" />
<asp:DropDownList ID="cooling" runat="server" />
The values for each list are populated in the code-behind using:
for(int i = 60; i <= 80; i++)
{
var listItem = new ListItem(i + " degrees", i.ToString());
heating.Items.Add(listItem);
cooling.Items.Add(listItem);
}
When I try to set the selected value for each DropDownList using the values in an object containing data loaded from the database using:heating.SelectedValue = myHome.avgHeatingTemp.ToString();
cooling.SelectedValue = myHome.avgCoolingTemp.ToString();
The SelectedValue for both lists is set first to the value in myHome.avgHeatingTemp, then to the value in myHome.avgCoolingTemp. Heres what the values are for each variable after each step of the process of setting the SelectedValues:
Initial State
heating.SelectedValue: 60
cooling.SelectedValue: 60 [code]....
I'm populating a dropdownlist in a formview with a different datasource from the formview's. I need to set the selected value according to the value in the formview's datasource but I'm having a hard time doing that.
Here's the code:
<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="ID"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<EditItemTemplate> [code]....
I have a problem in setting the selected index /value in a drop down list. The list is bound by a Linq query and I want to add an item at the top of the list and set it as the selected item.
THis is the code i am using
ListItem li = new ListItem("Select", "", true);
list.DataSource = (from ap in edc.Approvers
where ! ap.approverEmail.Equals("")
orderby ap.approverEmail
select new {ap.approverEmail}).Distinct();
list.DataTextField = "approverEmail";
list.DataValueField = "approverEmail";
list.DataBind();
list.Items.Add(li);
list.Items.FindByText("Select").Selected = true;
The listItem li is the item i want to be first in the list and also selected. Adding this before the databind just loses the item.
I have a dropdownlist used to select a directory for a gridview to show images in the directory.
I am wondering how I can include the value of the dropdownlist in the formatstring or some way to have it change.
I tried
<% "~" & cboFilePath.SelectedValue & "{0}"%>
with no luck. my dropdown containes "/images/" and "/images/uploadedPhotos/" and the gridview lists the files, but the images dont show.
I have officially wasted about two days trying to figure out what the heck was going on with my asp.net page. I actually thought it was an issue with my updatepanel code, but after reading another post I was able to reproduce the same results. [URL]
I just manually added the following control to the page (no code behind for the listbox) and it is nested in an ajax tabcontrainer inside an updatepanel. If you set item 20 as selected the page flickers when loading that tab. I tried the css mentioned (style="overflow:hidden") on the tabcontainer,tab panel, update panel and dropdownlist, but no luck. Crazy select item 19 no flicker, 20 (which is actually the 21st item) and it does flicker. This is driving me insane. And yes this only occurs in FireFox ( running 3.6).
In our asp.net web application we load the dropdown list boxes in the page load. We than set the SelectedValue of each dropdown list box to an object from session. We have event handlers for many of the SelectedIndexChanged events of the drop down lists boxes, but these do not get executed when we set the selected value programmatically.
Someone else mentioned this is by design, and only when a user manually changes the drop down list selected index, will the event get raised.
I would think this is a common scenario of wanting the selectedindexchanged event handled when setting the selectedvalue/selectedindex/listitem's selected property, of a DropDownList. What is the suggested way to handle this? Is there a significant drawback of creating a custom control inherited from DropDownList that has the functionality of raising this event when changing the SelectedIndex or SelectedValue?
i have given 28 states as a datasource to the dropdownlist..whenever the user enters with id the dropdownlist must populate with his statename not from the first state (A to Z) as it is stored in database.?is thr any option to give query as default value to the dropdown?
View 1 RepliesI have develop a web application. I have put my web application in my server and user can access from any location.
My server regional and setting is English (US). Now my problem is
1) When user access to my system and his pc setting is English (UK), it will prompt and error
and after i debug i suspect it is because of Datetime conflict (dd/MM/yyyy and MM/dd/yyyy)
2) I cannot fix or limit my user to setting his/her pc regional setting to UK
So what can i do in my web application solve this issue?
(Can i write any code in my client side (.aspx) to convert or do standardization to US)
I would like to set a value:
[code]....
...where [HERE] is the placeholder for my value, from my code behind in ASP.NET before the page is rendered. I generate a guid, and I need that apart of the script on the page.
I'm working with ASP.Net web services and am having a problem with a long-running process that takes about 5 minutes to complete, and it's timing out. To fix this, I was able to set the executionTimeout on the server's web.config to 10 minutes, and then set the .Timeout property on the Web Service object to approximately 9 minutes. Now, I'm worried that this may possibly cause some other web service calls to sit there for 10 minutes before they time out rather than the previous 90-100 seconds. I know the default on the client side is 100 seconds, but wasn't sure if updating the server's timeout setting would affect this.
Bottom line is - Is it safe to update the server's timeout setting to a long amount like 10 minutes, and rely on the default timeout on the client, or could this end up causing some problems?

I am having a problem with disabling DropDownList based on the chice of 1st DropDownList, there is no post back occuring, and it is a template based web app here is the current code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() { var dropDownList1 = $('#<%= ddlUserType.ClientID %>');
var dropDownList2 = $('#<%= ddlMember.ClientID %>'); dropDownList1.change(function(e) {
if ( jQuery("#ddlUserType").val() != "ETOC") dropDownList2.removeAttr('disabled'); e.preventDefault();
else
dropDownList2.removeAttr('enabled'); e.preventDefault(); }
} );
</script>
what is happening now is page is blank and if I remove the above code everything shows, where I am going wrong. here is the plain and final javascript code which worked:
<script language="javascript">
function CheckDropDownState(lstbox)
{
if (lstbox.selectedIndex == 3) { document.forms[0].ddlMember.disabled = 1; }
else { document.forms[0].ddlMember.disabled = 0; }
}
</script>
and thew .aspx code: <asp:dropdownlist id="ddlUserType" runat="server" onclick="CheckDropDownState(this);"></asp:dropdownlist>
I have a table and 7 column name.
I bind the 7 column name in one dropdownlist.
Now the problem is,how do I extract the data value in a dropdownlist?
For example,
Dropdownlist contain 7 column name
-subject_name
-subject_code
-venue
-time
-seat_no
-admission_no
-subject_id
when I click the subject_name,I want it to appear in a gridview
Example
Math|9.00-10.00|Hall|18|09090J|...
Below is my current codes which I have a problem.
protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source= EN\SQLEXPRESS;" + "Initial Catalog=ms;Integrated Security=SSPI");
SqlDataAdapter adapSel;
string mySQL = "SELECT '" + dd_list.SelectedValue+ "' FROM examtimetable ";
adapSel = new SqlDataAdapter(mySQL, conn);
conn.Open();
DataSet dsSel = new DataSet();
adapSel.Fill(dsSel);
GridView1.DataSource = dsSel;
GridView1.DataBind();
conn.Close();
}
Previously I have bind 7 column name in my dropdownlist
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsPostBack == false)

SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source= EN\SQLEXPRESS;" + "Initial Catalog=ms;Integrated Security=SSPI");
SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand("select column_name from information_schema.columns where table_name='examtimetable' and COLUMN_NAME not like '%ID'", conn);
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader ds;
ds = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader();
dd_list.Items.Clear();
dd_list.DataSource = ds;
dd_list.DataTextField = "Column_Name";
dd_list.DataValueField = "Column_Name";
dd_list.DataBind();
dd_list.Items.Insert(0, "Select Option");
ds.Close();
conn.Close();
}
}
