Web Forms :: Auto Select Item In DropDown List By Database Result?
Nov 6, 2010
I have a DetailsView that binds a User's Profile data into an ItemTemplate upon the Page_Load. When the user chooses Edit Mode, all of the Data is correctly carried over, except for the DropDownLists selected values. If on the ReadOnly page, the user's data shows "Male" for the Sex, then on the edit Mode page, I would like the DropDownList that gets the sexes from the database ("male", "female"), to have automatically selected "Male" in the DropDownList, not the lowest indexed item.
I have a dropdown list in the edittemplate of a gridview and now it selects the first value that comes from the datasource. How can I get it to select it's original value? Where do I put the code?
I have used gridview item template , which has two dropdown list. The first dropdown list is binded from database to the dropdown list. I have using the below code , to show the select message in dropdown list before selecting any item from dropdown list. In first row its show me --Select-- message and my vaues.. if i select some value form dropdownlist and click add new button it will create a new row dynamic then in previous row again it come back --Select-- message. on going to second row. I need to remain first row user selected value on going to next row. The New row will show --select-- message..
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.
Using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express and SQL Server 2008 R2.
I have a form with two GridView controls and a FormView control. All the data is populated using a SqlDataSource for each control - I'm not using any code behind to populate the controls. So far so good. The first GridView is called grdTrades with code like this:
[Code]....
At the moment when the page loads, the frmOrderDetails FormView is not populated. The user has to click on an order in grdOrders to populate the FormView. Is there a nice way to do this?
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.
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 have a gridview with two columns (item templates) one is a dropdown and the other is a textbox. I need to select an item from the dropdown (which I can do) and then get the cost of it and then put the cost in the texbox item template of the gridview. So I think I need to pass the row number and cost_id of the selected item to a procedure to get the cost of the item. Here is my so far code that I have now Idea how to pass the values of the gridview and then pass the cost of the item back to the proper row and textbox of the girdview.
i have used one drop down list box...in that ....whn i m running web applicaiton i need to stick the value which i m selected for the movement upto i select the next choice. it is always going to the first value always. i have 40 items in my drop down. whn i select the 5TH item after selecting 5th item it going to first item.
I am using database table as datasource for my dropdownlist. I want to add an extra item in my dropdownlist for example "select country".
how can i do that.. currently my code is:
dropdownlist1.datasource=dt; dropdownlist1.datavaluefield="country_id"; dropdownlist1.datatextfield="country_name"; dt is a datatable , "country_id" & "country_name" are columns
I have a dropdown binded with database value Eg : A001, A002, A003 etc. When ever i use to select the first value A001 , it is not going for postback. After selecting the second index value A002 n then selecting the first value A001 , i use to post back. And i dnt want to use appent data bound here.
I 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 dropdownlist on my page that when a user selects an item sets the list for another dropdownlist. My problem is that no matter what the user selects in the 1st dropdown it resets itself to the first item in the list. I have autopostback=true and nableviewstate= true. Is there another setting i'm missing or is it my code?
I want to access a dropdown control value of each list item as soon as it is created. I tried with ItemCreated and ItemDataBound events but I am getting null contro when I try to access control as shown below:

i have a dropdown list in edit mode and read only mode. If users upload pictures, i want them to chose a category for the uploaded pics and display it in a gridview as below.(See Picture below). When i include "SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CategoryID")" in edit and item template mode, i get this error "'PictureReadOnlyCategories' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value "
When i removed the "SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CategoryID")" from edit and item template, i get the result on the pic below(screenshot). If u can see the pic below the category is not selected, it just display the -- No Category -- even when i chose a category for the pic. I want when a pic is uploaded and i category chosen, to display on the gridview. The code for the error message is below:

I have some dropdown list boxes that I need to fill with data from a database but I also need the first option to be "Show All"... So I need to combine using a datasource and manually adding an item to the top of the list. I have tried two different ways with no luck:

I want to have a default value/item of "---Select One---" and then list all of the values from the SQL statement. Currently I am having trouble doing this. I tried to add it to the List Item but it doesn't show on the page.
I have a web form for handling invoices which has a form view. When I'm in insert item template, I need to have various fields. Some of them are contract number, invoice number, register date and other that are easy to handle. But there is a dropdown list related with a table of prices (the table has price name, price initial payment, number of payments, amount of month fee and so on). So, when the dropdown is selected, fields related with price should get their values from price table, and then the user decides to keep them or type in new values. How can I get it done? Should I use a Dynamic populate extender or type all the code behind using SelectedIndexChanged method to populate price related controls?
I've a dropdown list for departments (engineering, bio, chemistry,physics etc.) when somebody choose the departments from the dropdown list, it displays the opening closing time(hours) in a detailsview controls.
I have separate homepage for these departments ( these are the static html pages and no way to send querystring value) and I want to link the hours for each department from the departmental homepage.
When I choose the department from the DDL, everytime it's the same URL.
How can I solve the problem So that I can point the respective hours from the respective departments ?
