2. Dropdownlist( Search for department)
3. Listbox( Populate staff name based on textbox or dropdownlist)
I am able to populate the staffs indenpendantly according to what is written in textbox or dropdownlist. Whar i wanted to do is mix the population of staffnames from textbox and dropdownlist. In other words, when i search "sandra' in textbox and select a Department A , the listbox will show all the sandra from Department A only.

I am "trying" to switch my form from SqlDataSources to ADO.NET data sources. So I have a DAL setup, and ObjectDataSources in my form referencing these DALs. These data sources are bound to the form's objects. So far so good. In the InsertItem Template of one of the form's FormViews I have a list box that I am trying to populate with a value pair (ID, TechName) from a database table and I get the following error:
"Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control." Apparently, one of the two workarounds involves programmatically loading the listbox. The code below shows one of my attempts, resulting in the above mentioned error:
Code:
Protected Sub TestFillDefaultValueInFormView()
Dim vInspectorList As DropDownList
If (FormViewHydInspection.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Insert) And Not IsPostBack Then
vInspectorList = DirectCast(FormViewHydInspection.FindControl("DDlstInspBy"), DropDownList)
vInspectorList.Items.Clear()
Dim vInspectorDA As New DataSetHydrantsTableAdapters.TechnicianTableAdapter()
Dim vInspectors As DataSetHydrants.TechnicianDataTable = vInspectorDA.GetTechnician()
Dim vInspRow As DataSetHydrants.TechnicianRow
Dim vInspectorHT As New Hashtable
vInspectorHT.Add("0", "Select Technician")
For Each vInspRow In vInspectors
If vInspRow.TechID <> 0 Then
vInspectorHT.Add(vInspRow.TechID.ToString, vInspRow.TechName)
End If
Next
vInspectorList.DataSource = vInspectorHT
vInspectorList.DataTextField = "value"
vInspectorList.DataValueField = "key"
vInspectorList.DataBind()
End If
End Sub
I tried populating the listbox directly using the Listbox.Items.add() method (which is the way I have it now so I could continue solving other problems, and it works!) but I could not find a way to add a value pair. I did try:
vInspectorList.DataTextField = "Select Technician"
vInspectorList.DataValueField = "0"
but that left a listbox without any data.
I'm creating a user control that enables users to search AD and add the selected names to a list (which is used to send mail lateron).
The problem is that the search results end up in the Listbox but all as the string "System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection" in stead of the actual values.
I have no idea why.
This is my code:

All i did is added an existing webform from vs 2003 project to vs 2008. with Listbox1 control this error is appearing. value of type system.web.ui.webcontrols.listbox cannot be converted to "myprojectname.listbox"
i also have the control defined on the top: Protected WithEvents Listbox1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox I have converted lot of pages which were used in vs 2003 to vs 2008 without any problem, also tried to right click teh webform and go to code gen file , but the file is not coming up.
I am using VWD with a page that includes a formview and gridview. At the top of the page is a textbox, with and ajax calendar extender where the user selects a date.
The gridview is filtered on this date. I would also like to prepopulate a textbos in the formview insert template with this same date.
In gridview [ID] and [ProdName] is BoundField and [ThumbNail] is TemplateField.. I use the code below but the image still doesn't show..
Code:
DataTable oTable = new DataTable("ItemList");
oTable.Columns.Add("ID", System.Type.GetType("System.Int32"));
oTable.Columns.Add("ProdName", System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
oTable.Columns.Add("ThumbNail", System.Type.GetType("System.String"));

I'm writing an app (ASP.NET 2.0 w/ VB code behind) where my users complete a sign up process. Their data, such as name, address and phone info is stored in a SQL Server DB table. What I want is for them to be able to click a "Print Authorization" button that auto populates the authorization.pdf form and then let's the user print out the form to sign it.
How do I populate the Authorization.PDF with this info from the SQL table? Basically, I just need to know about putting the data on the PDF and then having it print. The file doesn't need to be saved, just populated with data and then printed. I have no experience with C# so the iText solution really won't work.
I need the simple task of populating a form from a dropdown if customer IDs.
The problem is I'm new to MVC and I no longer have events, so I'm not sure how my dropdownlist can have a postback event that does one thing, and my update button can have a postback event to do another thing.
Example, this only goes to the post action, so how does it know to load the customer or do an update:

this should be pretty simple but I can't find a solution. I spent a bunch of time, without luck, searching for an answer that makes sense (to me).
Here is the problem. I have an asp form in a frame (I know frames are considered evil, but this part is non-negotiable) This form has an asp:listbox that is tied to a SqlDataSource. A button on this form opens a second form that allows the user to add records to the SQL table that is bound to the SqlDataSource object (the source of the listbox in the first form) The thing is, that when the user closes the second form and returns to the first, the list box needs to be refreshed and I have no idea how to do that.
I am just trying to figure out a way to populate a textbox based on the results of two ddls. I have one table that stores the whole data...So an example would be
DDL1 - State
DDL2- City
Textbox(Comments) - "Sometimes the comments would already be on the table...so i will like to populate the ones already in there based on the two ddl's
I need to design a Textbox which fetches the values from database, as the user types in values in the Texbox. The fetched values should be displayed as autocomplete values... in a similar manner as google search box works...
View 5 RepliesI want to write an independant class that can fill the fields in an HTML using asp:textbox. I have a class that can pull information from username and send it back to the webform. I would really like to use another, or possibly the same class, to take that data and send it to asp:textbox.text to populate the fields.
My issue is I just can't seem to find anything in my books, or online, that would help me let the class know the form is there, and that it has those fields inside the html code.
Are they objects that I could potentially pass into a new class constructor that I could populate that way?
After accomplishing this my next step would be to use this to create a class to send an email with some of the fields being passed from the form to help fill in the email.

I want to update record having image, and text. For this purpose I used select command in gridview control to fecth the record to be updated. then store these values in session. These sessions are used to populate a table in which record will be updated.then using update query values are updated...
but the problem is.... When I populate the textbox in the table with this session value… then it does not read new value entered in this textbox to update record and takes previous value.
(record does not update with new value… )
How I do this... i want to populate table with the record to be updated and then through update query , update record....
I have a Gridview that has a template field containing a bound textbox (fieldname is 'Status'). I have an extra column containing an update button, which is designed to update the db with whatever is in the textbox.
What's happening is that when I load the form, the textbox is blank, even though there is existing data in the fields. If however I click the update button, all the textboxes in the Status column update and populate with the correct data from the database. I guess my question is why would bound textboxes not populate until an update command is run?
From the asp.net page, I would like to view the reporting services reports i.e. the .rdl files.I am using a reportviewer to access one of the reports as follows. Notice that I have hardcoded the name of the .rdl report.
Question:There are several reports. The names are stored in a table in the database. Do you know how I can populate a listbox with the names of the reports but do not know how to show the selected report in the viewer. Notice that at present I am hardcoding just one name and not sure how to be able to show the selected report
<rsweb:ReportViewer ID="ReportViewer1" runat="server" ProcessingMode="Remote"
Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt" Height="1000px" Width="1000px" >
<ServerReport ReportServerUrl="http://reportserver/reportserver"

How to get selected value form Listbox
View 6 RepliesNew at SQL and ASP.NET C#, bear with me. I have a form to insert into mulitple tables of a sql db. The form includes two listbox's, categoryIDlistbox and subcategoryIDlistbox, both with the ability to select multiple choices. Idea is that there is one record for the user created (Table1) and then that user can have multiple categories and subcategories assign to him/her in Table2
Table1:
userID
fname
lname
etc...
Table2
userID
categoryID
subcategoryID
If I understand correctly I need to use an array to take the multiple listbox items and save them to the tables. Not sure where the array goes in my code behind page to process the listbox and loop for muliplte selections. Here's my current code behind, where do I place the listbox array?

I have a form and if the user checks a box or clicks a certain item in the listbox, I need a new form to be generated, with a certain form name in the same format, and the prior form to be locked for editing.
View 8 RepliesMy forst post here + I am new to Asp.Net as well. 2nd my apologies if this question has been asked before.
Here is my problem. I am given some really abstract ASP.net pages, where I have to make a change. My change involves adding some links and on each link I have a function which is triggered when link is clicked on. This function validates some information in the form and then submits this form. This same form contains mulitple list boxes, all of them has AutoPostBack=true. The problem is when I select an item from listbox the form is submitted as I can print all the form properies on the page(all fields with their names and values) however, when I click on link and call the same forms submit(); method I dont see that happening. none of the form fields are printed out.
Now once I click on listbox and select an item after that as long as that item is selected, I can click on all links and they all call the submit() method of the form and it produces required resutls. I am really baffled as this doesnt seem correct as far as simple html is concerend.
The user has to select from the ListBox to populate the DataGrid control. However, the Default value in the ListBox does not cause the DataGrid to be populated. Why is this?
[Code]....
So i currently filter the listbox with some javascript i have found. What it does is going to the item i type on the textbox. It will not filter the listbox so it will contain the specific matches. I was reading for autocomplete but i don't seem to find this 2 way usage.
I was also reading this article:

But i'm completely lost on how i can implement it.
