Web Forms :: How To Pre Select A Drop Down Listbox Item?
Feb 18, 2011
How can I pre-select a drop down list box item in a listbox? I experimented using Asp.net and C#, but was not able to pre-select a drop down listbox item.
I am not on my coding box right now, but basically as an example of what I am talking about, if I have the following drop down listbox items.
--Select--
New York Jets
New England Patriots
Green Bay Packers
Atlanta Falcons
SF 49'ers
Oakland Raiders
How would I pre select the team name of "Atlanta Falcons" using C# and Asp.net? Spefically based on the string of the team name "Atlanta Falcons" instead of an alternate way like using the Selected Index function?
I am trying to get a drop down and a form view to work together. I've never used form views before. I also am using the entity framework to do everything. This is also my first time with it.
I want to be able to have a drop down, that is populate from the same data source as the form view. So far that works fine.
I then want to be able to change the drop down item, and it change the form view item that is displayed. I cannot figure out how to make this work.
I am having 3 ListBoxs(LB1,LB2,LB3).In LB1 I am binding the names of Courses through database.The code is shon below...
da1 = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT COURSE_ID,COURSE_NAME FROM Course_Mst", con); DataTable dt1 = new DataTable(); da1.Fill(dt1); lstCourse.DataSource = dt1; lstCourse.DataValueField = "COURSE_ID"; lstCourse.DataTextField = "COURSE_NAME"; lstCourse.DataBind();
Whenever I select particular course in LB1 all the content related to that course will be binded in LB2.The code is shown below.....
protected void LB1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { da2 = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT SPEC_ID,SPEC_NAME FROM SPEC_TRANS WHERE COURSE_ID="+Convert.ToInt32(lstCourse.SelectedValue)+"", con); DataTable dt = new DataTable(); da2.Fill(dt); lstSpecilization.DataSource = dt; lstSpecilization.DataValueField = "SPEC_ID"; lstSpecilization.DataTextField = "SPEC_NAME"; lstSpecilization.DataBind(); lstSpecilization.Focus(); }
I am having a ADD button.In LB2 I can select multiple items.When I select multiple items in LB2 and click on ADD all the selected items will be binded into LB3.The code is shown below...
protected void btnAddCourseDetaisl_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { for (int intLoopIndex = 0; intLoopIndex <lstSpecilization.Items.Count ; intLoopIndex++) { if (lstSpecilization.Items[intLoopIndex].Selected) { ListItem li = new ListItem(lstSpecilization.Items[intLoopIndex].Text, lstSpecilization.Items[intLoopIndex].Value); LB3.Items.Add(li); } } }
My problem is when I select a item from LB2 and click on ADD the selecteditem is added to LB3 but if I select the same item and click on ADD the items are again added to the LB3.I want to prevent this.Pls respond me ASAP.
Referring to a C#, .net, System.Web.UI.WebControls.Lisbox which has a multiple select option true and needs to do a postback every time selected index changes.
Problem is, the [SelectedIndex / SelectedItem / SelectedValue] is always on the value of the 1st selected item. Clicking on the second item, third item, does not change the SelectedIndex, causing the listbox to reload and scroll to the highest selected item position.
I have a listbox which populated from using a datatable. I have a Add button in my page. On clicking the add button I want to insert a blank row in the listbox. This can be done easily by
ListBox_Admin.Items.Add("");
after this is done I want to select this item as in setfocus on this item.How do I do this.
I have two list boxes, one has a list of available users (about 1500 items) and the other is blank. There is a button to add the seleted items from the first list box to the second one. Both of these listboxes are within an update panel and for some reason it takes over 20 seconds for the items to show up in the second listbox.
Is this normal? Is there an alternate, faster way of doing this?
I have a list with 2 sorts of items. Items that have actual values (1,2,3,4 etc) and items that are like group headings so all their values are set to 0. If someone decides to select a group heading - which has a value of 0, is it possible to redirect them to my 'Select an item' item which has a value of ""?
If worse comes to worse, I can just reconstruct the entire list, although if possible I'd like to avoid it.
Users want to have the ability on a page to have a treeview with hierarchy that can be updated by dragging and dropping from a listbox. They can drag a change request from the listbox and drop it on the treeview as a parent request or a child of one of the treenodes. There also needs to be the abililty to drag and drop from within the treeview. With all the changes being done, the item from the listbox would also need to have a field changed to either Parent = 'Yes' or IsChildOf = parent id. My first question is;
1) Is all of this possible?
2) Know of any samples or examples of how this would be accomplished?
3) Is there a better way of doing the hierarchy with parent and children then mentioned above (I hope there is)?
4) What have others done for something like this?
I am open to other thoughts of doing this a better way and I'm sure the users can be persuaded. Prepping for a Access conversion project beginning of year. And if this conversion from A2007 to ASP.NET goes well, there is another major conversion waiting in the wings.
I want to know how to handle drap and drop event between two listboxes. I have two listboxes. If I drag one item from one listbox, it will drop on other listbox. And also let me know how to rearrange the items in listbox.
I've been searching the web and no luck. Can someone tell me how to assign values to my listbbox? I used the ValueMember property but when i have more than 1 item it is only set to one value member instead of each of its own.
I have a listbox, i am binding it to a datatable with DataTextField and DataValueField. This is in WebForm (not windows).And the first item in ListBox is "Select All" and the rest are from DataTable.SelectAll is selected by default.1) If i select any other item...(as it is multiselect) the "select all" item should be unselected.2) If i select 5 items in ListBox and after that i select "Select All" items then all the other items except "Select All" item should be unselected.
I am having 2 list box in my form. I am adding some values from 1st list box to 2nd one. What i need is i would like to save the data in the list box in sql table.
I have two dropdown lists ddlstate and ddldistricts onchange of ddlstates I am displaying the districts. Here my requirement is to make the default seleted district as "Warangal" i.e I need to highlight this list item
I am trying to find the most efficient way to prefix listbox item text with their current index.I have two listboxes on a page, the first holds a list of states, the second holds the selection of states. When the user selects a state into the destination listbox, the state should be prefixed with the current index position. The destination box is sorted, and also has buttons to change the item positionsIs there a way to get the index of the item after insertion, instead of looping through the entire collection to add the index?
I have a project that queries a set of times from a database and uses these entries to populate a dropdownlist. Once the page is loaded, the user can select one of the items in the DropDownList. When the "Save" button is clicked, the Selected item value is returned to the [HttpPost] version of the controller action. This item is then stored into session. If the system returns to the page containing the dropdown, I want the saved Value to be selected in the DropDownList. What actually happens is that the DropDownList is always set to be the first item in the list.
Database Table: This data has been imported using Link to SQL
I have built one of those 2 listbox things where the items in the left textbox can be selected and moved to the right list box. The items in the list can be thought of as tasks (like Raise Invoice, Call Client, Deliver goods etc) The rules of this are that the item you move to the right box remains in the left box. Reason being, you are allowed to add the same item from the left to right as many times as you like. An example what the list on the right might look like is this.
Now I have added the feature to select an item on the right and hit the UP button, to move it up in the list. For example I could select 'Deliver Goods' and hit the up button. (the down button works as expected)
My code that loops though and does the move relies on the item.selected property to find which on I have selected. (obviously)
[Code]....
Despite having the items at the bottom of the list selected, the .Selected property is true on the first instance of the item that happens to have the same .Text and .Value.
I have a asp.net web form in which I display registered customers in a listbox. In the listbox I can choose one customer, and click a "Show data"-button. That should display all registered data about the chosen customer in textboxes next to the listbox. This doesn't work and I haven't been able to find where the error lies. Instead of displaiyng the data in the textboxes the error message in: LabelNoCustomerChosen is displayed. Could it be that the program doesn't find the customer ID? The string that is displayed in the listbox looks like this: ID Lastname, Firstname
How can I make the first item in a drop down list non selectable. I want this first list-item to show up when the page is opened and want to populate the rest of the DDL from a backend DB. I don't want this default first item in the list to be selected (just want to show it as a default value)
I want it to look something like this.
Choose a State: (Appearing on the top of DDL, but cant be selected)
