I am stuck at this point "Displaying a dropdown list of Categories with a --None -- Option. I want the gridview control to display 2 dropdown list one in read-only mode and the other in edit mode. When a record is in read-only mode, the dropdownlist's enabled property will be set to false."When it's on a read-only mode, it doesn't display the selected Category. it shows but the "No Category". When i click on edit to edit or change category, it doesn't display the selected category.
The example is given below( I am reading the book Sams Teach yourself ASP.NET 2.0 by Scott Mitchell. page 628)

I was trying to implement a dynamic update of a dropdown list in an ASP.NET.MVC2 RC 2 view. My code didn't work. So, in order to verify my approach, I resorted to a published code, which supposedly should be correct: In the View:
<%= Html.DropDownList("Numbers",(IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewData["Services"]) %>
<select id="Select1">
</select>
<input type="button" id="Button1" value="Fill By Array" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#Button1").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var data = [];
$.getJSON("/Home/GetListViaJson", null, function(data) {
data = $.map(data, function(item, a) {
return "<option value=" + item.Value + ">" + item.Text + "</option>";
});
$("#Select1").html(data.join(""));
});
});
});
</script>
In the Controller:
[HandleError]
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
//ViewData["Message"] = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!";
ViewData["Numbers"] = GenerateNumbers();
return View("Index");
}
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public JsonResult GetListViaJson()
{
return Json(GenerateNumbers());
}
private static List<SelectListItem> GenerateNumbers()
{
var numbers = (from p in Enumerable.Range(0, 20)
select new SelectListItem
{
Text = p.ToString(),
Value = p.ToString()
});
return numbers.ToList();
}
public ActionResult About()
{
return View();
}
}
The Html.DropDownList was correctly populated on PageLoad() event. But the GetListViaJson() action method, when called on the button event, did not update the "Select1" element. how to solve this update problem.
I am using asp.net 3.5. I filled dropdown list in javascript using ajax service but unable to get its selected value in button click event on server side.

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 databound dropdownlist and have a problem with the default value it selects.When I attempt to edit a record the dropdownlist shows the first value in the list rather than the current value. I want the dropdown list to display the current value.
I'm sure this is very simple but I'm very new to ASP.NET.
I'm using .NET version 4.
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 have a Cascading drop down list that is working fine to load the correct lists however I would like to have the last one initiate a query and display a datagrid on the same page containing the results of the query. Without Ajax involved this seems rather easy by using autopostback on the drop downs. If I could do it through Ajax that would be great but I can settle with having the page to reload to display the data. Right now I'm not sure how to do either. I enabled autopostback on the last drop down and wrote a method for it but I get an error at runtime saying:
Invalid postback or callback argument
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.

I have 2 drop down lists.I have a very simple dropdown list #1 that diplays a title and holds an id value which is a GUID.I know it is getting this value and sending this value as I tested sending it to a label.I have the dropdown list #1 to autopostback to dropdown list #2 that "Is supposed to get" another title and value based on the GUID value of the first dropdown list. for some reason it wont return anything. I have done 100's of these but never based off a guid value.I assume the value needs to be converted to guid before selecting it in the second dropdown list.How can I do this? or is there something I am missing?

An sqldatasource then finds the people who have names > than the five letters and picks up their ID numbers as well as their names.
After that I use a second sqldatasource to get one individual from that dropdownlist's persons name and id number and then using a detailsview I display that person.
Well both sqldatasouces work fine but it just does not pass the ID number when I debug it.

View 1 RepliesI have a dropdown list within a details view that allows me to set 1 or many categories to a perticular record(in this case a photo). The select command in this case only displays those catetegories that are not already attached to the selected photo.
all works well and as you select a category and add it to the database the category is removed from the dropdown list and is added to a gridview which shows all categories that photo is stored with.
My Problem is that when i delete the category from the gridview the dropdown list does not delete with said deleted item unless i do a "click in URL bar and press enter" to totally refresh the page.....
how to refresh the dropdown list in the details view after the gridview item has been deleted?

I have a requirement in my application that, while saving the application, need to get all the value from drop down list and pass it to the view model. But application should not allow the user to select more than one item from drop down list manually, ie, only one value at a time. My view model is like ...
public class ListManagement
{
public IEnumerable<selectListItem> InactiveProduct { get; set; }
public string[] InactiveProductSelected { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<selectListItem> ActiveProduct { get; set; }
}

I am using a strongly-typed view to display a list of products, where every li-element gets a unique id:
<ul id="product-list">
<% foreach (var item in Model.Products)
{ %>
<li <%= "id="product_" + item.Id + """ %> >
<div class="item">
<%= item.Name %>
</div>
</li>
<% } %>
</ul>
Now I want to attach to the click-event of every single li-element, so that if the user clicks on a div-element, detailed product-informationen should be loaded asynchronously into a details-pane. I know how I can use jQuery to invoke an action-method ajax-style and also how to display the json-result which contains the product-details, BUT I have no idea, how I could attach the onclick-event to every single div, so that I can use the productId to load the details.
I'm having troubles remembering how to grab the list view's state, or page, so that when you leave the list, you can return to the list view page you left on. I have a data pager, and I have hyplerlinks for items in the list view that take you to a file upload or file delete page, and then returns to the list view. It returns to the list view's initial state (first page).
