ddl.DataSource = FilterDropDownData();
ddl.DataTextField = "ColumnName";
ddl.DataValueField = "ColumnName";
ddl.DataBind();

Setting SelectedValue For One DropDownList Also Updates The SelectedValue For Another DropDownLIst

Jul 21, 2010

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]....

Get SelectedValue() Of DropDownList After Setting The Value?

Dec 13, 2010

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

Web Forms :: Setting SelectedValue In Dropdownlist

May 11, 2010

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?

C# - Setting SelectedValue Of A DropDownList On PageLoad

Nov 11, 2010

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.

Web Forms :: Page Flickers When Setting Selectedvalue Of Dropdownlist With More Than 20 Items

Nov 25, 2010

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).

C# - DropDownList OnChange Not Working At SelectedIndex 0?

Jul 2, 2010

I have 3 security question drop down menus. I have javascript on the ASPX page that removes questions/repopulates them when you select a questions (so you cannot reselect the questions in the other 2 boxes). This works wonderfully when a user is editing their profile with already selected questions. However, when a user first selects the questions where all three boxes are listing "select a question" at selectedIndex 0, the onChange doesn't fire. The function won't even go. I think this has a big something to do with the on change from selected index of 0. I have debugged this thing and it doesn't even enter the function. I even set the onchange action to flash an alert. It just seems something is going wrong when i try to action onchange from selected index of 0.

Web Forms :: DropDownList SelectedIndexChanged Event Not Fired When Programatically Setting SelectedValue?

Oct 27, 2010

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?

AJAX :: Cascading Dropdown Reset SelectedIndex Or Selectedvalue?

Mar 6, 2010

I searched the forum for several days now , but can't find an answer to my problem.

I have 4 Ajax Cascading DropDown named,

ddlCatalogueName > ddlMainGroup > ddlSubGroup > ddlPageNumbers ,

I am passing the values obtained from ddlSubGroup and ddlPageNumbers to a datasource as parameter (Actually to a pageddata ) , on which i create a DataList.

The page is working fine actually but the problem is like the following,</p>

Considering that all dropdown are selected as following :

When i change ddlSubGroup to another one , ddlPageNumbers is populated depending on the number of items divided by 20 ( The datalist is paged by 20 items per time)

then i change the ddlSubGroup(RUBBER PARTS in this example for example to BodyParts , so the dropdown values becomes like :

[code]....

At this point Body PARTS also has page numbers like 1,2,3,4 etc but, it still remains as 2 , however i need the page number to reset back to 1.

Is there any way to do this , and where should i place the code exactly ( which event ) ?

C# - Binding DropDownList's SelectedIndex To 0 If Value Does Not Exist?

Mar 17, 2011

I have a DropDownList in a DetailsView, which binds a user's 'AllocatedUser' to a user in the Users table. Occasionally, we'll have some mishaps in the database where the user allocated isn't in the users table, which the DropDownList is filled with. In this case the site crashes and we get a 'SelectedValue does not exist in the list of items error'.What I want to do is catch any binding errors like that, and just set the DropDownList index to 0. I've tried something like this:

OnDataBinding='DoesExist("AllocatedUser",<%#Bind("AllocatedUser")%>)'

but it doesn't like the syntax of that.

Forms Data Controls :: Setting The Selectedvalue Where The Result Of The Query Is Null?

Aug 20, 2010

I have a query that references many tables, however the main record doesnt necessarily have records in the other tables. In my formview itemtemplate, i bind the values of the query but I'm getting an obvious error when the value is null. This is what I'm trying to do: (the field is a boolean btw). These fields are hidden so I don't really care if it gets assigned a temp value or something.

[Code]....

Error: BC30452: Operator '=' is not defined for types 'Object' and 'System.DBNull'.

Forms Data Controls :: Dropdownlist Selectedindex Changed Will Not Fire ?

Jun 14, 2010

I wanted to create a dropdownlist that would trigger an asynchronous postback and update the Gridview inside the Updatepanel. However, no matter what I do, when the dropdownlist changes, nothing in the UpdatePanel will change, even the TestLabel....I've been banging my head against the walls for days on this -- why won't this work? When I remove the UpdatePanel code and triggers, all the code works, eg, you change the dropdownlist andthen gridview updates -- but it refreshes the page and this is why I wanted to put the Gridview inside an Updatepanel to make it look cleaner.[Code]....

Forms Data Controls :: Binding A Textbox To A Dropdownlist Selectedindex?

Feb 11, 2010

I'm having trouble binding my textbox to my dropdownlist. I got it to work but I don't think it is the correct way of doing it. I have my DDL bound to a datasource and populating everything correctly. However, I couldn't find a better way of binding my textbox to it besides using the FormView control and its counterpart, Templates (edit,insert,etc) It looks messy and i was hoping there was a better way of doing it. I've researched it online for awhile now but I couldn't understand how to implement for my situation.

My DDL has company names in it and the datasource has all the information from the table including what I'm trying to have my textbox pull (Address).
