I see that dropdownlist has an "items" property to get the list of displayed items for a dropdown, but it doesn't seem to have an equivalent property for getting the "values" associated with the items. For example, I may have a dropdown that displays "High", "Medium" and "Low", but returns values of "H", "M", "L". How can I easily get that list of HML?
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to select values from a List, where the items contain in a different list aswell?for example;
[Code]....
What I need are all the items from the first list "Items", where the string contains something from the second list "List".So I need something which returns the first 3 items (which contain the term "Item") from the first list.
I have a page with some bound DropDownLists (DDLs) for a Call Logging system. The Calls are categorised on three levels for example:
Call: 3069, Category 1: Incident, Category 2: Microsoft Application, Category 3: Word would be used to organise calls for problems with Microsoft Word. On testing the system, I noticed that there was no handling for opening a call if the category had been deleted - say for reorganisation/systems no longer supported whatever. So I set about trying to make the program behave in the following manner:
Check category ID exists in DDL before bindingIt doesn't: set the displayed text of the DDL to Category Name + "(Deleted)"Disable the control to prevent user changingMove on to next control Seemed simple enough, however no matter which way I try and do it I always get the messase ddl_Cat1 has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. What's really puzzling me is that the exception doesn't seem to be being thrown in the code behind. I've gone through line by line from Page_Init and it never throws and exception. Just when the page loads this appears.
Does anyone know of a reason as to why this wouldn't work? (I've already tried setting the selected value to an existing item, adding a new list item with the value and setting DataSource property to Nothing - in all different combinations.)
i want to apply color to selected number of items in checkbox list and seleted number of items in drop downlist for e.g color red for few items and black (default). I have a bit value set in data base so if bit is set to 0 then red and if 1 then back.
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to assign a colour to a drop down list item based on it's value?For example: I have a drop downlist where I've got a bunch of items that have integer
values. I would like to highlight the items with values in 1000s in grey.
Here is what the list looks like:
list_item_name list_item_value
HEADING1 1000
HEADING2 1000
HEADING3 1000
item1 1
HEADING4 1000
item4 4
item5 5
HEADING5 1000
HEADING1 2000
HEADING2 2000
item2 2
item3 3
HEADING3 2000
HEADING4 2000
HEADING5 2000
I've boldified the items I'd like to be highlighted in grey ,For added complexity I need to highlight the items with values 1000 in a light shade of gray and items with values 2000 in a darker shade of grey. I'm using Web Developer, and C#
I have a dropdownlist in a formview that looks like this:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList5" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="True"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource6" DataTextField="StaffName"
DataValueField="StaffName" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("LetterName") %>'
Width="155px">
<asp:ListItem Value=""> </asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
I am trying to add the value from a textbox which is also in the formview into the dropdownlist as a list item. I currently have this code for it:
Protected Sub Formview1_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FormView1.PreRender
Dim dropdown As DropDownList
Dim listvalue As TextBox
dropdown = FormView1.FindControl("dropdownlist5")
listvalue = FormView1.FindControl("textbox1")
dropdown.Items.Add(New ListItem(listvalue.Text, listvalue.Text))
End Sub
This code works and adds the new item to the dropdownlist if I have no SelectedValue set for my dropdownlist. However when I set the selectedValue I get the error message:
"'DropDownList5' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.
Parameter name: value"
This is the bit I dont understand because the value does now exist in the list of items as it was added in from the textbox value. Does it try to do the selectedValue before adding my list item? If so how can I add the list item first, or do I need to set the selectedValue in the code after adding the list item?
I'm creating a composite control for a DropDownList (that also includes a Label). The idea being that I can use my control like a dropdown list, but also have it toss a Label onto the page in front of the DDL.
I have this working perfectly for TextBoxes, but am struggling with the DDL because of the Collection (or Datasource) component to populate the DDL.
Basically I want to be able to do something like this:
<ecc:MyDropDownList ID="AnimalType" runat="server" LabelText="this is what will be in the label">
<asp:ListItem Text="dog" Value="dog" />
<asp:ListItem Text="cat" Value="cat" />
</ecc:MyDropDownList>
The problem is, I'm not extending the DropDownList class for my control, so I can't simply work it with that magic. I need some pointers to figure out how I can turn my control (MyDropDownList), which is currently just a System.Web.UI.UserControl, into something that will accept List items within the tag and ideally, I'd like to be able to plug it into a datasource (the same functions that the regular DDL offers).
I tried with no luck just extending the regular DDL, but couldn't get the Label component to fly with it.
I used below code for put scroll for Dropdown list
<script>
function onSelectMouseDown() {
document.getElementById("<%= DDLcity1.ClientID%>").size = 10;
}
</script>
I define label under DDL like below
Now problem is that when I click on DDL to see Item Label that I define jump to bottom of page I mean lable doesn't stay under DDL it jump bottom.
what should I do?

I want to update the data using vb.net , my webpage has many dropdownlistlist ,
I got an error when update the dropdown field ,
"Dropdownlist error: SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items."
May i know how to create the control function in asp.net to control the values ?
Based on the DB table, it active is Y then enable values in dropdownlist , if N then disable the values.
I'm new to web dev and c# so please bare with me. I am trying to create a dynamic gridview in a web form for users to to answer questions with (code below).
The dificulty im having is that i am nesting a dropdwonlist in the gridview and want to be able to dynamically set the list values based on parameters (of the row they are on). These values are in the main dataset for the gridview as each row represents a questionid and question text and then a ddl for the criteria...
I just don't know how to set the values for the dropdown all the code so far is below... just need to be able to populate the dropdowns with the relevant values.
I have created a stored proc to return the different criteria based on the questionid and questionGroupid which is the dataset that populates the other fields in the gridview: dbo.usp_QuestionCriteria @QuestionGroupId, @QuestionId
I have added this as a tableadapter called criteriaTableAdapter in a xsd file as well using the wizard... not sure if this is the right option though or just use the same method as i have for the other stored procedure as in the code below:

Is it possible to set tab index value for list items of ASP.Net RadioButtonList control.
View 1 RepliesI'm designing my own custom control that contains a .NET dropdownlist. What I'm wondering is if it is possible to populate my dropdownlist with listitems placed in a placeholder? For example:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlFilter" runat="server" >
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="ListItemPlaceholder" runat="server"/>
</asp:DropDownList>
This doesn't work because the DropDownList control only allows ListItems as child controls. But, I want to do something similar to this so when the user includes my control on a page, they can do something like this:
<mytag:MyControl Mode="DropDown" runat="server">
<ListItemTemplate>
<asp:ListItem Text="C" Value="c"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="E" Value="e"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="B" Value="b"></asp:ListItem>
</ListItemTemplate>
</myTag:MyControl>
I know I can do this by dynamically adding the ListItems in the page code behind, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
I am getting this error yet I know it to be untrue.This is the code:
ddlPartnerOrganisation.DataSource = agency.AgencyGetListOfEYDN();

ddlPartnerOrganisation.DataValueField = "AgencyID"

ddlPartnerOrganisation.DataTextField = "AgencyName"
;
ddlPartnerOrganisation.DataBind();

I have two DropDownLists; DropDownListStart displays the hours 09:00 - 19:00 and DropDownListStop displays 10:00 - 20:00. When the user chooses one of the hours in DropDownListStart I want the program to adjust what's shown in DropDownListStop so that the first hour shown is one hour after the hour chosen in DropDownListStart. How can I do that in code behind (c#)? An example: if the user choses 13:00 in DropDownListStart I want DropDownListStop to display only 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00.
