I need to validate ajax cascading dropdown lists. See code below. It does not work. Could anyone help on it. I use VS 2008.
<asp:DropDownList
ID="ddlTest"
runat="server" Width="131px"></asp:DropDownList>
[code]...
I don't want to link my dropdownlists with a database like most of tutorials and forums show. I just want to link 2 dropdownlists, for instance if one says "Food" I want to show only the food producs in the other DropDownList. All this items are not from a database, I just inserted them in the DropDownList control.
View 9 RepliesI am using the AJAX Cascading drop down list but want to add event validation e.g. the compare validators.
As the cascading drop down list requires the page event validation to be disabled what is the best way to do the validation?
Validation Attempt: I have tried to use a custom validator which calls a Javascript function but it doesnt seem to be picking up the control. I get the following error Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object required
function ValidateCostCentCat(source, arguments)
{
var countryList = document.getElementById("ddlCategory");
if (null != countryList)
{
var iValue = countryList.options[countryList.selectedIndex].value;
if (iValue == "Select Category")
{
arguments.IsValid = true;
}
else
{
arguments.IsValid = false;
}
}
}
The mark-up for the custom validator is
<asp:CustomValidator ID="valcustCategory" runat="server" CssClass="error" Display="Dynamic" ValidationGroup="DirectHire" ClientValidationFunction="ValidateCostCentCat"
ErrorMessage="Please select a Cost Centre Category from the drop down list provided.">!</asp:CustomValidator>
I am new to Ajax in general but I have a series of cascading drop down lists that are working fine. I'm using them on a form that I want to be able to either add a new row of data to the database or edit an existing one. I have the insert a new row working but editing an existing one is a bit trickier. The drop down lists are only part of the form but I would like to be able to query for a row id and set their values. Right now I'm querying for a row of data and populating the form with its values on page load and all of the fields work except for the drop down lists. I assume that this is because when the page is loading the web methods haven't run yet to populate the cascading drop downs. Therefore I can't set the selected value because there aren't any values yet. So therefore I'm pretty sure I need to do this from a web method so that it runs after the lists are populated or while the lists are populating but I don't know how.
View 3 Repliesmy one table consists of fields (id, flying from, flying to). thus i have one drop down for flying from and another drop down for flying to. i'm hoping to cascade them so 2nd drop down values are dependant on the values from 1st drop down. is it possible to do this using a single table? or must i use two tables and link the id's from both? and do i write anyting in the SelectedIndexChange event? the sqldatasource code looks like this:Flying From:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlFlyingFrom" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
DataTextField="FlyingFrom" DataValueField="Id" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlFlyingFrom_SelectedIndexChanged">

perhaps i followed this example here
http://programming.top54u.com/post/AJAX-Cascading-Dropdown-Example-using-SQL-Database.aspx
it return an error that
System.InvalidCastException: unable to cast di object of 'AjaxControlToolkit.CascadingDropDown' on tye 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList'.
Suppose parent dropdown is car (Values are car1, car2, car3)and its child is color(for car1 R Y G B, For car2 R Yand for car3 G B).Now on selection of car2 R and Y will appear and select R, then again made the change on car and select car3 then again select is comiing with G and B and select B.
Now if I select again in car, car1 then the child is populating with the values of car1 but it takes the B as a default value as it was previously selected and also present for car1 too.This case is only happen. on select of child value which is availble for both parent selection.

I am binding the dropdownlist by using ajax cascading drop down now i need to preselect the dropdown value in code behind page in page load (for update operation) is it possible
I am new to Ajax Control Toolkit, with the help of online tutorials I had created a cascading dropdown list in asp.net and tested it on my local machine. For this dropdown list data source would be an xml file (which is saved on my local machine c drive). I haven't encountered any issues until I deploy the precompiled web site on to IIS 7. When I open the web site from IIS I would see the two dropdown boxes on the web page with an error "Method error 500". I believe this error occured due to incorrect xml file
path provided on IIS. I had copied xml and xsd files into IIS server C drive but it did not help out and then I created a network map and placed the xml and xsd files in that shared folder tried to access that path from web service, it's working on local machine but not on IIS. It would be great, if any one could explain me the solution.
