I have a dropdownlist that is being populated using linq. The code for linq is below
[Code]....
When the page is viewed the dropdownlist show the following;towels, shoes, etc. What I would like is the default item to be nothing. That is when the page is viewed then the drop down list should show something like this "select category". Right now it is starting by showing towels, which is quite irritating, since if I want to see towels I first have to select something else and then go back and select it!

I have a field that is a DropDownList. When in the insert mode I want that field to be blank - It currently is displaying the first record in the table it pulls from. I was expecting to see an initial value setting in the DropDownList properties but do not. For example - suppose I have a field named locations that consist of 4 location (below). In "Insert" mode, location currently displays Dallas. I want it to be set to blank initially and the user select one. What am I mssing?

I have a dropdownlist that is not bound to a datasource, I have hard coded a few items in the list cause the list is always constant and will never grow and there are only 4 entries init. Anyway, after i load the page and make a selection from the dropdownlist and do a postback, the dropdown always returns to the default selection...which tells the users to make a selection.How do I get the dropdown to keep the selected value after the postback? I want to be able to display the selected value all through until another selection is made.

what i have a is a dropdownlist and what i have done is set the datasource to be "select top 10 * from Orders"I have only displayed the OrderID , CustomerID and the Freight i would like to display in a dropdownlist. But what is happening is that for all 10 rows the dame value in the dropdownlist is shown. The dataset that is bound to the dropdownlist initially is all that items in the database.i would like the freight for that particualar Orderid to be displayed even if it is lets say item number 5 in the dropdownlist or itemn number 2 .

The intension is to get the all text file names in the drop down present in a particular location. When a user selects any filename from the drop down, it will show the data which is in that particular text file in a GridView.
I've done both the steps and it's almost complete but i stuck on a small issue. Probably because of non-usage of ASP.NET for a long period of time. The problem is, the drop down only selects the default value not other values.Here's my code for DropDown Selected Index Change
protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:myLogs");

I have gridview that has month as a column. When the user clicks a row's edit button, that row goes into edit mode. I have created a drop-down list for month in edit mode with the values 1-12. Right now, the drop-down list shows 1. I would like it to show the current value for that row. How do I do this? Here's the code for my gridview:

How do i make the default entry in a dropdownlist not selectable? Right now I have a drop down and the users are able to select the default option that says (Select one)...here is what my code look like. I hard coded my options in there cause the list is really short and won't change ever. Right now, users can select the default entry and add it whatever list they are generating on the page...and I would like to make that default visible but not selectable.

I have a databound dropdownlist, bound to an object datasource. I want to have a default value of "None" inserted at the top of the list and I would like to do this declaritively if possible. After much googling I came up with the below code. However it does not display my default item. I was under the impression that setting the AppendDataBoundItems to True would solve this, however it hasn't.
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddl" DataSourceID="ldsCompany" DataTextField="CompanyName" DataValueField="CompanyId" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CompanyId") %>' AppendDataBoundItems="True">
<asp:ListItem Value="DefaultValue" Text="DefaultText"/>
</asp:DropDownList>

I have several pages linked together that I want to maintain drop down selections for. I've seen a number of ways to do this with session values, etc, but I want to set the default value while still having the option of selecting other values.
Effectively, users will make selections on page 1 and then on page 2 they will use those same selections, but also potentially want to change their selections. My thought was that I could load the selections into a table in SQL in page 1 and then in page 2 call that table and set the values as variables. My question, then, is how I would set the default dropdown value to be a variable as opposed to a set value.
I am using VisualStudio2010 with ASP Webforms using C#.

I have a dropdownlist on my view that is being populated from values in a database table and I've added a "--Select One--" header. Selecting a value from this list is optional (it maps to a nullable field in my table). Currently, if a user doesn't select a value from the ddl then it inserts an empty string into the field, wherease I'd prefer to keep it NULL.

For my ASP.NET page, in the code behind I load various items/options into a DropDownList but I do not set a default by assigning SelectedIndex. I notice for the postback SelectedIndex is set to 0, even if I never set focus to or changed the value in the DropDownList.
If not otherwise specified in the code behind or markup, will a default value of 0 be used for the SelectedIndex in a postback with a DropDownList? If yes, is this part of the HTML standard for selection lists, or is this just the way it is implemented for ASP.NET?

I have a form in which I have a gridview with a LinkButton culumn in which when the user clciks a modal popup extender shows up. In the modalpopup I have a dropdownlist which is filled from DB in code behind. but when the user clicks on Add button in modalpopup panel, the selected value of the dropdownliast is always its default value.
[Code]....
here is my code behind:
[Code]....
I traced my code behind, the fillData() which fills up dropDownList is called only once in page load's first time.
PS. I understood the problem exists only when the modal is poped up by linkbutton click of gridview. when It is poped up by a button outside the grid it workes fine.
