How I populate a dropdownlist from code behind. I want to add the items from an access database. I know how to read the rows but don't know how I add them to the dropdownlist. What I mean by this is I need to add a value column and a display column because I want to save the code value not the display value.
Is this possible and if so how do you do it?
I have code that populates 2 dropdownlist in a gridview. DropStart And DropEnd I want to add time values depending on a few things here's the routine I cal.
Code:
Public Sub GenerateTime(RowIndex As Integer)
Dim ComboStart As New DropDownList
Dim ComboEnd As New DropDownList
Dim ItemList As ListItem
Dim TimeInterval As Integer
Dim IntervalleCalcul As Integer
Dim NombreIntervalles As Integer
[code]....
now this code is called, and runs fine, it goes in the for loop and I see if I trace it that combostart and comboend both have 96 Items in them as expected. hence it did find the controls in the gridview. but when I exit this sub and continue the code by just running the code in the asp.net page the two corresponding dropdown control don't get the values that did get added in the code behind.
In the RowEditing is when I call this routine.
Code:
Private Sub GridDetails_RowEditing(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs) Handles GridDetails.RowEditing
GridDetails.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex
GridDetails.DataBind()
GenerateTime(GridDetails.EditIndex)
End Sub
On my formview I have a drop down list that is populated with the names of the files in a certain directory. This works fine, but when the drop down list selected value is bound to the database field I get the following error :
'ImageFileDropDownList' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value
I have setup other drop down lists in the same formview populated from SqlDataSources and these all work fine. I can see perhaps why this is an issue because I have not specified a DataValueField or a DataTextField for this drop down that is populated in code (whereas I can for the SQL bound ones) because I'm not sure what these settings would be.
I need to have a "blank" option as well so that the field does not default to the first value in the list.

I am making an application that deals with vehicles. I need two DropDownLists:
Makes: All Vehicle Makes
Models: Models that belong to the selected value of the Make DropDownList
How is this done in MVC2? My Idea: Do I use an ajax call when my first list is selected and then pull back the Models to bind to the Model DDL? How would model binding come into play that way? UPDATE I posted what I ended up doing as an answer. It is super simple and works great. You can use a get too if you feel so inclined, but you have to specify that you want to like so... return Json(citiesList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
I have one table which contains branch codes(primary key), Branch name and bank name columns. I have 3 dropdownlist boxes. the first dropdownlist is for the branch codes. When i select the a branch code i need the second dropdownlist box to populate with the appropriate branch name and the third dropdownlist box to populate the bank name at the same time.
Is it possible to have one table like mine and acheive this, if so how do i go about doing this?
I did read up on this but only came across ones with 3 tables.
I am using Visual Basic to do this.
I am getting a problem while working with the Dropdownlist in VS2008. I am trying to populate the DDL using c# codding instead of creating DataSource in GUI. The DDL is getting populated as expected, but then I've added a label that will show the current selected item; for this I've written a code in DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged() :
Label1.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString();
I hae also enable AutoPostback for the DDL.
I have placed the PopulateDDL() method inside of the Page_Load();
But whenever I select a item, it's always giving only the first item's name as the Lebel.Text.
But when I use GUI and ceate a SqlDataSource and attach that to the DDL all works fine.
What to do??
I'm new to MVC pattern and I have a question regarding to a dropdownlist. Actually My Data came from a collection (random string) then it displays it in a list. And yes it display, so I add a dropdownlist. And I can populate it using the same collection. My question is how can I populate the dropdownlist from different collection?
Here's my View
[Code]....
so I am having an issue getting a drop down list to choose the right value when it renders. It always defaults to index zero. However, I do have a view in another place where it renders just fine and selects the right value. I don't understand the difference.
Here is a trimmed down version of the view that works correctly:
@model AppName.Models.Guest
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
Attending Ceremony?<br />
@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.ConfirmCeremony, new SelectList(new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{"No Answer", "No Answer"},

Using MVC2, I want to know how you add the options of a dropdownlist from a database. I have several lookup lists so I will need to do this many times. I'm stuck on part 5 of the MusicStore (which is using MVC3) at this part

Alternatively if someone could recommend an MVC2 tutorial which covers drop lists.
<EmptyDataTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlRateCode" runat="server" DataSourceID="odsRateCode" DataTextField="RateCode"
DataValueField="RateCodeID" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("RateCodeID") %>'>

To speed things up for the visitor of my web page, I put a personalised dropdownlist in a session variable (as below).
The idea is that if the user is logged in and the ddl session variable is Nothing then it should be set here, and the next times the dropdownlist should be set from this session variable.
The session seems to be populated ok, but the resulting dropdownlist (ddlMenu) doesn't (it just becomes blank). I suspect that it has soemething to do with the way I try to assign it. No matter what I try I run into problems, saying that one thing is a one-dimensional array and the other thing a listitemcollection, or the like. What should I write in the last line?
If Session("aid") IsNot Nothing And Session("ddl") Is Nothing Then
Dim ddlny As New DropDownList
ddlny.Items.Add(New ListItem(vstr, ""))
ddlny.Items.Add(New ListItem(kontrstr, "PageA.aspx"))
ddlny.Items.Add(New ListItem(bstr, "PageB.aspx"))
If dt IsNot Nothing Then 'dt is a datatable, populated elsewhere
For i As Integer = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
ddlny.Items.Add(New ListItem(dt.Rows(i).Item("name"), dt.Rows(i).Item("did")))
Next
End If
Session("ddl") = ddlny
End If
ddlMenu.Items.Clear()
ddlMenu = Session("ddl") 'THIS IS THE LINE THAT SHOULD BE REWRITTEN.

is there an way to populate this dropdownlist dynamically from a calendar or date function so it can cater for dates up to 18 months ahead?i dont really want to populate it from database entries or hard coded list items if there is a less laborious way.
Here is a snippet of my code...
<ItemTemplate>

Dim ddl

I have 3 dropdownlist controls for use with capturing birth dates. One captures the month, the next the day and the next the year. Rather than having to use 3 different xml files to populate the controls I want to be able to use just 1 xml file, but I haven't been able to work things out. I thought this would work:
<dates>
<date month="1"/>
<date month="2"/>[code]....
I thought I'd be able to assign the datatextfield of month, day or year to a given control, but this isn't working. They show up in the datatextfield dropdown in properties, but when I try to view the page in a browser I get an error that tells me the field (i.e., day) does not exist. Is there a way I can accomplish this? I am developing an ASP.NET 2.0 site in VS 2005.
z'm trying to create a webpage for ticket purchases. When selects an option from a dropdown list and clicks a button, I want them to be taken to the next page where a textbox will be auto-populated with their choice from the dropdown list. For some reason, I can't figure out how to get them to communicate. On Form1 I can get Form2 to open onclick but for some reason, when I put code into pageload for Form2 to pull data from Form1, it won't work. For example, on Form2 I would put the following code under pageload: textbox1.text = Form1.textbox2.text
View 5 RepliesI have the following ListView (extra code removed for clarity) :
<asp:ListView ID="lvParticipants" runat="server" DataSource='<%# Eval("Participants") %>' >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("Country") %>'
DataSource="<%# GetCountries() %>" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="Value" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("Country") %>'
DataSource="<%# GetCountries() %>" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="Value" />
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
The Insert row in the ListView has an empty DropDownList and GetCountries() is not called. However, if I click the Edit button on an existing row, GetCountries() is called twice (not sure why) and the DropDownList is properly populated. Why isn't the InsertItemTemplate DropDownList getting populated?

I have a ListView that I need to populate a dropdownlist while rendering. For each rown in my table has a field called sizes which has data that looks like this "blue; red; yellow; green", I need to render a dropdownlist in the ItemTemplate with these values, I tried placing a PlaceHolder but I don't know how to populate it. I have tried to populate it OnItemDataBound and OnUnload but neither seem to work.
