View 10 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've run into small problem, here's the thing: i've got a dropdown list (ddlist1) that i am populating from a database, that works fine. However, depending on the option selected here, i need to populate another dropdown list (ddlist2). for example, if on ddlist1 i select option 1, on ddlist 2 i should get a list of options related to option 1 from ddlist1. If i select option 2, on ddlist 2 i should get a list of options related to option 2 from ddlist 1. and so forth. this information with which ddlist needs to be filled, comed from another database. o how can i go about this? m not sure yet how to code the second ddlist.

I normally have a function to populate my dropdown list with the database values.
How can I populate a dropdown list so the values are stored in the web config?
The only problem is that the list would need to store two values, the text value of the combo, and the data value.
Using a gridView to read some data from a SQL database. The user can select a record in the gridview. On the SelectedIndexChanged property I populate this to a couple of text boxes & drop down list; txtCountry,ddlProvince,ddlCity.
I have special characters in France ( accent marks) and when I populate it to the drop down list it fails giving out the error message "SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items".
Example of items that I try to populate are as follows. ( separated by commas) ÃŽLE-DE-FRANCE , PROVENCE-ALPES-CÔTE D'AZUR , RHÔNE-ALPES, DRÔME,ISÈRE ........ When I looked in the drop down lists for Province and Cities I see those Provinces there in the item list. When I debug line by line the word ÃŽLE-DE-FRANCE comes out like ÎLE-DE-FRANCE which is not there in the drop down list. Got to know the ÃŽ is typed by pressing down ALT+206 and lloks like this is what is coming in at the start of the string above.
populating the dropdownlist with column name. I have a gridview that has 7 columns . I want to have a textbox search and dropdownfield where user can select column name and type a word in search box and click search so that text for that column name is being search and displayed in grid. how I can fetch just column names from DB and search ?

View 1 RepliesI would like to alter the query that is run, depending on the selection made by the user in a drop down list on the same page. Would this best be done using a partial page update (AJAX)? Ideally it would be great to have the textbox result change quickly once the drop-down list value has changed, without a full page postback. I would like to change the SQL query to a completely different query if the user selects an option different to the default (page_load value) in the drop-down list. I would then like the newly retrieved result to be displayed in the textbox as before.

I have a dropdown list with the names of the months listed in it. These names are stored as int values but converted to string for display purpose. I also have a RadDatePicker control that will allow the user to select a specific date to overwrite the default date. The default date in the textbox needs to be set to the last day of the month selected (i.e. May 2010 would default to 05/31/2010).

I would like to use a C# foreach loop to access a column in all records in one of two tables that can only be determined at runtime. I have used the foreach command with arrays, but I don't know how to use it with a table in an SQL database. I was using a query command and Reader inside of a do-while loop that fails after all records had been read.

Is this possible?

I am wondering into the unknown field of OOA and was looking for a way to separate my business logic from my UI. A small example is as followed:
Two DropDowns where the second one is depended on the selection in the first DropDown. You have Cars, planes, etc. inm the first DropDown and Toyota, Chrysler, etc in the second (depending on the value in the first DD.I have som Lin syntax. The file is situated in the App_Code folder and NOT as code behind. [Code]....
I would like to know how i can make populate my second Dropdown list with results. At this point it's just putting in the complete ProductSubCategory.
I have string which came from the database,now i want to compare each charater of the string with the radiobuttonlist value and check box list value and select both radiobutton list and checkboxlist.
Here i write down some code but its just select 2 item of the each radiobuttonlist and checked all checkboxlist.

I need to populate a dropdown list with users who match certain role criteria. For example, if I have the following roles: Manager, Employee, Supervisor I would like to populate the list with only the Manager and Employee roles. Some individuals have multiple roles and they should be excluded if they also have the Supervisor role as illustrated below:
Name: A , Role(s): Manager, Employee, Supervisor
Name: B, Role(s): Employee
Name: C, Role(s): Manager, Employee
The final list should only contain names B & C.
I can use Roles.GetUsersInRole("Employee") but I am not sure if this is efficient or not.
I have several dropdown boxes. After user selecting those drop down box, I will insert those values to the database table.
Here is my code:
string InsertString = @"insert into Table..user(PID, GID, TID, SID, SSID) values ('DropDownList_PID.Text', 'DropDownList_GID.Text', 'DropDownList_tid.Text', 'DropDownList_sid.Text', 'DropDownList_ssid.Text')";
OleDbCommand myCommand = new OleDbCommand(InsertString);
myCommand.Connection = myConnection;
myConnection.Open();
myCommand .ExecuteNonQuery();
I always got the error.
OleDbException (0x80040e57): The statement has been terminated. String or binary data would be truncated.] System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteReaderInternal(CommandBehavior behavior, String method) +745 System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() +113
What am I missing here?
This may or may not be possible but I'm trying my best to find out, I'm a complete novice when it comes to ASP.At the moment I have drafted a basic html page. This page contains a drop down list and several tables all hidden by javascript and then displayed based on the drop down selection (onchange event)I'm trying to convert this into an asp page so that I can dynamically populate the drop down from a table (this will be a list of names)and then based on the drop down selection (onchange does not necessarily have to be used, could maybe use a submit button) will populate a table below the input box with all the information for that name, in many cases this would be multiple rows.
