I am getting this error: "Cannot have multiple Items Selected in Dropdown", when I Edit the data.
I am using the cascading dropdownlist controls from the Ajax toolkit. I have everything working perfectly and all of my select changes work. I have 3 related select boxes that all work great for single item select. What I need is for my last dropdownlist to allow for the selection of multiple items. I have tried adding the 'multiple' attribute to the final dropdown list and it allows the selection of multiple items but I cannot get the items when I post back, just a single item.

if (item.Selected == true)
{
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["con"].ConnectionString))
{
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand("") }}}

I have just started with this . I am a new user and i want to know that why we cannot have multiple items selected in a DropDownList?
View 4 RepliesI had used listbox control with multiple selection mode. I stored id with comma delimiter in database.
e.g.
1. List Item One.
2. List Item Two.
3. List Item Three.
4. List Item Four.
5. List Item Five.
6. List Item Six.
Suppose user select item 2, 4 & 6. So I will store it as a 2,4,6 in database. This will work fine.
Now in editing I have to shows selection-bar for item 2, item 4 & item 6. So I had typed below source.
string strData ="2,4,6"
if(strData != null)
{
char[] separator = new char[] { ',' };
string[] strSplitArr = strData.Split(separator);
int x = 0;
for (x = 0; x < strSplitArr.Length; x++)
{
// lstWDef_PurchasesEdit.Items[x].Selected = true;
lstWDef_PurchasesEdit.SelectedValue = strSplitArr[x].ToString();
}
}
But with this statement I got only last item id as a selected item with selectionbar. In our example 2,4,6 only item whoseid is 5 got as a selected item.
if i use
for (x = 0; x < strSplitArr.Length; x++)
{
if (lstWDef_PurchasesEdit.Items[x].Value == strSplitArr[x])
{
lstWDef_PurchasesEdit.Items[x].Selected = true;
}
}
if the selected items are serial like 2,3,4 then it is displaying correctly..
if items are 2,4,6 then it is not selecting the items of listbox properly.
Is anybody guide me how to make item 2, item 4, item 5 as a selected item ?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to hide 2 buttons depending on the value in the dropdownlist. It works when the page is initially loaded but chokes when returning to the page sometimes. I have some pretty simple code in the Page_Load event within an If Not Page.IsPostBack statement

I am running into some additional difficulties with dropdown lists, and I'm hoping you can correct my thinking.
I have a table populated with items; ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME, ITEM_COST.
Here is my code:
[Code]....
With this code I get this error: DataBinding: 'ITEM' does not contain a property with the name '2'.
If I remove the assignment of DataSource to c1, the dropdown generates this error: 'DropDownList3' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.
Parameter name: value
How should I code this so that the user is presented with a list of ITEM_NAMES, and that the ITEM_ID is stored in the value field so I can use it when the selection event is fired? I know I could databind the source directly to the dropdown list, but I am trying to understand the behind the scenes working of a dropdown list object.
I have a listbox control data bound to a data source and I want to be able to get the value of each selected item so that I can use that information to form an insert query for another table. In other words be able to select a few items out of the returned list and get the selected value of each. I tried using a for each statement but came up with some strange numbers.
View 2 RepliesI am persisting the search selection criteria of a listbox onto another page which is called AreasLb. Multiple areas can be selected, I simply want to set the listbox items that the user selected as .Selected = true
I think the below code should work, but it doesn't, with no items in the Listbox being selected.
if (s == "Areas")
{
string[] area = nv[s].Substring(0, (nv[s].Length - 1)).Split(';');
int i = 0;
foreach (ListItem item in AreasLb.Items)
{
foreach (var s1 in area)
{
if (s1 == item.Value)
{
AreasLb.Items[i].Selected = true;
}
continue;
}
i = i + 1;
}
continue;
}

But if I change my condition to Not selected, the string does build, with every item in the list. So the Sub is reached, the items and their text and values are seen, but user selection of items doesn't work. What am I missing?

I have a dozen tables, and two dropdown lists.The first drop down list shows the table names. The second dropdown list needs to be poulated with the data from the specific table selected in the first dropdown list.I wrote a stored procedure that will query the selected table name choosen in the the first dropdown list. My results though are only showing this...

Values in multiselect dropdown not getting selected when Select All option is selected for a SSRS dropdown. There are multiple dropdowns on the page. We have one dropdown whose output is being used to populate the second dropdown using a stored procedure. When we check the Select All checkbox on the dropdown then ideally upon page refresh all the values should get selected in the dropdown, but in this case the page refreshes back to the blank dropdown, forcing the user to select the values again. The next dropdown too does not get populated. This makes it impossible to run the report for all the cases by using Select All. We ran the report on differnet database environments. My current location is Mumbai,India, the report worked fine when we ran it on a Bangalore,india database. This issue occurs when we try running it on a Chicago database server. I am using SSRS 2005, SQL2005.
View 1 RepliesHow to add Items in the Dropdown at the Runtime..?
View 2 RepliesI want to loop thru dropdown list and check the individual list item text using C#, let me know what is the best way to do this?
View 4 RepliesI have a situation where some dropdown listboxes contain some items, then there's a separator line, and then there are more items. The ones above the separator line reflect the "commonly used items". To better highlight these I was using code like this to individually color those specfic items:
foreach (ListItem item in ddList.Items)
{
if (item.Value == "-1")
unAssigned = true;
if (!unAssigned)
item.Attributes.Add("style", "color:#5558ff");
}
This code works fine EXCEPT that once a PostBack occurs then the highlighting disappears. The items in the dropdown listbox remain (without repopulation) but not the highlighting.
I'm curious why this is happening and whether there's a way for the highlighting to "stick" short of calling this code from the Page_Load event handler every Postback?
how to access related columns in a dropdown list? In the example below I have a dropdown which is bound to a list of countries, I know how to access the text & value fields but how would I access data such as "Region"? I know I could do this by spinning through the list until CountryCode on the lsit and selected item match but wondered if there was a better way.

I have a dropdown which i have binded code behind as:
protected void PriorityType()
{
DPriority.Items.Add(new ListItem("--Select--", "0"));
DPriority.Items.Add(new ListItem("High", "1"));
DPriority.Items.Add(new ListItem("Medium", "2"));
DPriority.Items.Add(new ListItem("Low", "3"));
}
It shows the items in gridview correctly but when i insert in database as DPriority.SelectedValue . it does not save the text but the index
Like if i choose High in database it saves as 1 but it should save as text not index.
i have over 100 items all loaded in a dropdown list. They all are assigned a value between 1-10 which represent 10 categories. When certain buttons are clicked, i want the dropdown list to display only items with a value "1" or "2", etc.
