I have figured out how to programmically hide a dropdown on same page and on a different page using a Session when the Dropdownbox im using has a static drop down list. I am, however, having issues with a dropdown that is data bound to a DB for the dropdown list.I have gone over the code many times and that seems to be where my issue lies.
Here is where i set the selected item to a session on one .CS page:

I have 45 dropdown lists in my asp page. There are some methods that I can apply to all of these dropdowns. Is it possible to convert them into an array of dropdowns for ease of use?
View 2 RepliesI got a web app linked to a SQL Server 2005. The registration page for learners on this page require a lot of information and many of them are on dropdown controls linked each to their own table adapter. The table adapters are linked to tables within the Database. The dropdowns consist of info like designations, grades, categories, race, etc. The tables like designations changes from day to day as new types of designations are added and the other removed. What will the best way be to add data to the dropdowns? Another way I considered are to have one table and add a field like a type field that distinguish between the dropdown so that I only use one table adapter, or are there a better way. Some Code:

Using ASP.NET 2.0
I have a gridview populated by a SQLDataSource that is fairly complicated on a dataset changing constantly. It takes a second or so to fetch the data.
I want to have external dropdownlists for filtering the data that appears in the gridview, either with a FilterExpression or with parameters.
The problem is that querying the database to populate the dropdownlists takes a long time, because of the complexity of the query. The values in the dropdowns can vary based on other filters.
Is there some simple way of querying the database only once, for the main gridview, and then somehow querying the local (to ASP.NET) copy of the data to extract distinct values for populating the filtering dropdowns? I am thinking this might speed things up a bit.
I've been trying to figure out the issue and knowone seemd to know. I put a dropdown on my page and when I view it from my server, it works fine. When I tell it to go and get it's values from a DB I can no longer see it on the page when I view it from the server. Here's the code I have for it:
<td
class="style28">
<asp:DropDownList
ID="DropDownList2"
runat="server"
DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1"
DataTextField="Team"
DataValueField="ID">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:GridView
ID="GridView1"
runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataKeyNames="ID"
DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1"
EmptyDataText="There are no data records to display."
Visible="False">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField
DataField="ID"
HeaderText="ID"
ReadOnly="True"
SortExpression="ID"
/>
<asp:BoundField
DataField="Team"
HeaderText="Team"
SortExpression="Team"
/>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:AccessDataSource
ID="AccessDataSource1"
runat="server"
DataFile="App_DataIRISBS.mdb"
SelectCommand="SELECT [ID], [Team] FROM [tblTeam]"></asp:AccessDataSource>

I have two dropdowns menu in detailsview (Both one table) . I want to change items in the second dropdown when the user selects an item in the first dropdown.
What I did as following but it does not work :
Add an empty SelectedIndexChanged event on the first dropdown and then, bind the second to the first under Selectedvalue. Also, sat AutoPostBack="True" on first dropdown.
I have three parameters to search and the record is being populated on the gridview.
Paremeters are dropdown lists:
lstDepartment, lstSection, lstLocation
I used AutoPostBack to true for above dropdowns but the problem I am facing is when I select value in lstDepartment to show values in lstSection then gridview data refreshes and after that when I select lstSection to show values in lstLocation then again gridview refreshes.
What I want to do is to when I'll select dropdown one by one then gridivew display data when a Search button pressed.
I don't want to refresh gridview everytime on the basis of dropdown selection.
I am working with a formview edititemtemplate. Currently in my page load, i have some stuff that would show or hide certain panels based on dropdownlist values. These dropdown values get binded during page load. I need to be able to change the values/dropdowns, without rebinding the old data, and updating the visibility of the panels based on predefined rules.
I have experimented with putting my formview.databind() in page load if isnotpostback, in prerender, in prerender if isnotpostback. I have tried my rules (ex if ddlState.selectedvalue = "DE" then pnlDelaware.visible = "true") in the page load, and the page render. I'm just not sure how to get the stars aligned here. The closest i have come is having the databind in the pageload if notispostback, and the rules in the prerender. However I get an error "dropdownlist has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.
So I am using a formview that gets in Update mode with a bunch of values from a sqldatasource --- but I want to fill a couple dropdowns with data from the database --- but I cannot figure out how to bind the data to the dropdown box FIRST and then select the value in that dropdown box... but I keep getting an error that the Selected value is not a part of the dropdown (I assume because the sqldatasource is trying to bind BEFORE I can get the dropdown box bound).
IE -- when I load my values, lets say a 'Crop' comes back as 'Corn' ... I want to download the available crops from the database (ie. corn, beans, wheat, okra, etc.) and then set the selected value as CORN.... SO HOW do I get the dropdown filled BEFORE I try and bind the selected value?
i've 4 similar dropdowns in my form in four different categories, is there any way to bind one of them so that the remaining dropdowns can be automatically filled or binded with the same content as first dropdown
View 4 RepliesI have a page with a data repeater. Each row has a dropdownlist for the user to select a value and the values in every dropdown are the same. I also have an SqlDataSource which each dropdownlist gets its values from as its created. Everything is working as it should but for each dropdown that is rendered a seperate call is made to the database.
suggest a better way for me to do this that means only one call to the database for all dropdowns rendered?
I'm a complete novice in .NET. I am trying to implement a multi textbox / dropdowns / checkboxes search for a website using vb.net. How do I pass the values of my form fields to my griedview and display the search result on the same page?
I've written a stored procedure and specified it as data source for my gridview and defined parameter source as my CONTROLS (textboxes, checkboxes n dropdowns) on the form. What I want is when a user fills out one or multiple fields on the form, how do I display data in the gridview on the click of SEARCH button? Also is it necessary to write a codebehind for my search button or we can achieve the desired result in some other way?
I've been working on my first version of an ASP.NET app, using cascading dropdowns. I've got 2 dropdowns on a page.
However, the third major control on the page is a details view. It works fantastic, with the cascading dropdowns, to display information from the second dropdown, and allow the user to edit that data. All well and good. But now, in testing, I suddenly realized that I've got no way of displaying the details view if I want to let the user enter new data, which would show some information in the second drop down.
I have a datalist that retreives category names for a knowledge base system I'm working on. When you click to view all the category titles, I want to hide those category titles that don't have any articles associated with that category. So, for example, you click to see all the category titles, but because there isn't any KB articles for "Mice", the "Mice" category isn't visible.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if there is a way to hide the ItemTemplate. I am using listview and would like to hide the itemtemplate when i am inserting a new record. Im not sure how to or if it is possible to do.
View 4 RepliesI am having some trouble hiding a column in my GridView. For some reason when I do the following:

It hides the column correctly but also leaves an empty gray column at the end of my grid which is about 5px. Ideally I don't want to remove the column but hide it, but if I do remove it is it possible to remove the binded that column represents?
I need my gridview to display no records when the user first lands on the page. Right now it's showing all records by default based on a query I've defined in a Table Adapter in my dataset.
I have 2 web controls that the user employs to filter data (or view all records). They are working fine--I just need to have the gridview show nothing by default.
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenFieldTime" runat="server" Value='<%# Bind("Time") %>' Visible="False" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
When I load the page, it shows up as a blank cell. Is there anyway to hide it completely as it looks out place?
I had a datagrid and I was hiding columns. This was working fine to show just the columns I wanted.
[Code]....
And then I realised I wasn't paging the data so I ticked that on then above code no longer worked. The Count was equalling 1 with the paging ticked on. Why would that be?
I also used the classic formatting and when I sort the columns the classic formatting goes funny, how can reapply the sorting to make it look classic?
I have a footer with 3 textboxes and 2 button.one of two button is hide button, which when gets clicked, suppose to hide footer along with their controls, its has the following code:
if(e.CommandName.Equals("Hide"))
My gridiview is mostly templated fields.
I have searched far and wide and discovered that if you hide gridview colums in the Gridview's databound event, as per the code below,then the objectdatasource binds multiple times according to the number of columns you are hiding. This is definitely the case.

I have an image button on my gridview in one column, and in the next column, I have a nested gridview. What I am looking to do, is to use my image button as a way to show and hide my nested gridview. I do not want to use JavaScript, because my page already uses a great deal of JavaScript. Therefore, I want to use code behind on the button, this is what I have done so far:
ImageButton b = (Button)sender;
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)b.NamingContainer;
if (row != null) {
int rowIndex = row.RowIndex;
How do I use my selected row index to call the nested gridview to be visible and not visible?

Here's the background: I have a GridView with suggested meetings. A logged in member can view the suggested meetings and click button "Show" to view all suggested occasions for every meeting. What I want to do now is to hide button "Show" for a logged in member if she/he owns the meeting (i.e. is the one who suggested it = Session["memberID"]).
My problem is this: All buttons "Show" are visible. I want to hide button "Show" in those cases where Session["memberID"] is identical to dr[0]. 'ID' in the SQL statement is the ID of the meeting in the database and meetingID are the ID's of the meetings shown in the GridView.
Here's the code:
