After validation dropdown list do not select previous value.
<%: Html.DropDownList("Country",(SelectList)ViewData["Country"],"") %>
However in Quick View there is correct selected value. :(
Clicking the label of a drop down list, re-sets the selected value to the first item in the list. This has a history of causing data entry problems when users accidently click on the label.
In the below example ddlContactType has a selected value as 'PRIMARY' and whenever i click on the lblContactType Text, the dropdown box Selected value is changing to "Select One" Text.
How to prevent this one. It should be on PRIMARY Only.
<p>
<tr> <td ><asp:Label ID="lblContactType" Font-Bold="true" Text="Contract Type: *" ForeColor= "red" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="ddlContactType"></asp:Label> </td> <td > <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddlContactType" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" AppendDataBoundItems="true"
DataTextField="TYPE" DataValueField="ID" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CONTACT_TYPE_ID") %>'>
<asp:ListItem Text="Select One" Value="0" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem>.......
I have a drop down list control populated with items and some code to take the currently selected item value. The problem is I only get the value of the first item in the list regardless of what item is actually selected. Here is my code to populate the drop down:
protected void displayCreateCategories()
{
StoreDataContext db = new StoreDataContext();
var a = from c in db.Categories
orderby c.Name
select new{catName= c.Name,
catId=c.CategoryID};
ddlCategory.DataSource = a;
ddlCategory.DataTextField = "catName";
ddlCategory.DataValueField = "catId";
ddlCategory.DataBind();
}
To get the value of the currently selected item which in my case is always of type integer I do label1.text=Convert.toInt32(ddlCategory.SelectedValue); I get the selected value, but it is always for the 1st item in the list. I'm pulling my hair out over this.
I wish to pass values of the selected items into a database and however noticed that the selected item is not what is sent into the database you can see in the snap shot below. during run time the following value is recorded. Where did it all go wrong with the dropdown lists selected item? Counting on your intelligence.
View 3 RepliesI have set the Dropdownstyle to DropDown but its still not highlighting the item in the list
<ajaxToolkit:ComboBox ID="cmbstudentid" runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" AutoPostBack="True"
Font-Names="Tahoma" Font-Size="Small" [code]....
Does anyone know how to do this so when I select something the 1st dropdown and the 2nd one becomes visible and populates list from a Select statement. I really need help on how to do in an aspx and not on the code behind page.
View 12 RepliesI have a list with 2 sorts of items. Items that have actual values (1,2,3,4 etc) and items that are like group headings so all their values are set to 0. If someone decides to select a group heading - which has a value of 0, is it possible to redirect them to my 'Select an item' item which has a value of ""?
If worse comes to worse, I can just reconstruct the entire list, although if possible I'd like to avoid it.

I'm trying to progam a strongly typed "Create" view using MVC 3 and razor. I want the user to be able to select a customer from a dropdown list (I populated this from my database using ViewBag in the controller). When the user has selected a customer I want a separate dropdown list to generate a list of dogs belonging to that customer related by the customerID in the database. The create button on the form will then take both of these values along with the the other fields and save it to the database.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to preselect an item in a drop down list box based upon a value I pass in from a data reader. When I place a "Watch" on the drop down list box, the code I am listing below says that it does what it is supposed to and sets the "selected item" to the one I want BUT when the page is rendered and comes up the first item is always selected. It is like it loses the set when the page is loaded or something.
Here is the code....
<td style="width:33%"><asp:Label CssClass="formlabel" ID="lblRU" runat="server" Text="Reporting Unit: "> </asp:Label> <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlRepUnitTeam" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataValueField="MR_LU_TEAMS_PK" DataTextField="MR_LU_TEAMS_NAME"> </asp:DropDownList> </td> <%
For Each item As ListItem In ddlRepUnitTeam.Items
If item.Text = myReader.GetString(0) Then ' ddlRepUnitTeam.Visible = False
item.Selected = True Exit For End If Next %>
For giggles, I add the ".Visible = False" in there as a test and commented it out later. That doesnt work either. The item still is visible. I know the IF statement passes as it enters into the if statement using debug mode and hits the "Exit For" so I know the condition is being met. I am at a loss over this one.

I have a main "index" view that has a drop down and a submit button. When a selection is made (CampaignId) and a submit button is pressed a list of items is displayed and filtered based on the selection from the drop down list.
I've added a partial view (on the right rail) of my site that lists a bunch of campaigns. when a link is pressed in that partial view a (CampaignId) is passed to my page and the same thing happends as if you would make a selection from the drop down. The issue is that the dropdown "Campaign Name" should be selected based on the selection from the partial view.

I have a list of options (IEnumerable< SelectListItem >) in my model that I want to use in multiple dropdowns in my view. But each of these dropdowns could have a different selected option.
Is there an easy way to simply specfiy which should be selected if using the Html.DropDownList helper?
At this point, the only way I can see is to generate the html myself and loop through the list of options like so:
