Web Forms :: Programmatically Selecting An Item In A Drop Down?
Mar 5, 2010
I have a drop down box with values that shows on loadUnited States Canada Now I have a function that is checking the users value from the database which is fired on a button click. What I plan on doing is comparing the string like if United States(db value) == United States (dropdown value) then go ahead and select United States in the drop down. When I do this I am getting the right value selected but it is making all the values the same for all records.

I am trying to set the item that is selected from a drop down list based on what it in the database for that particular record. I am filling the dropdown list with a SQL DataSource I have tried a couple of example that I have found for selecting the item in the list but I am always getting the first item in the list as the selected item. This is what I am currently working with:
Code:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If IsPostBack Then
Else
Dim ID = New Guid(Request.QueryString("ID"))
[code].....

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.

What is the best way to do the above? Basically i have a drop down list box with a list of names pulled from a database. When someone selects a name i would then like to populate two further boxes with the persons Login ID and Email address which are held on the same DB. I have currently been using Combox1_selected index change and then running a select query on the database to fill in the other fields - unfortuntly this is too slow. There must be a better way then this? I will also need to put the values in a DB in a later stage so will need to be able to retrieve these values.
As an infopath developer this can be done easily on InfoPath using a filter - is there anything similar in ASP.net

I have 2 gridviews, and 2 sqldatasources in my web form. Depending of the value of some variable one of the gridviews is visible, and the other one no.
Everything works fine, but my server send usless information about hidden gridview to the client, what in fact slower the speed of displaying a web page in the client browser.
Is there any method which tells asp.net not to send this object to the client during one particular page generation?

I have three dropdowns that are used to choose a date (day, month and year). I want them to initially display today's date. They are being populated with code like this:
[Code]....
So the user changes the value to whatever they want and hits the Submit button and I try to collect the values they have chosen...
Code:
DateTime returnDate = new DateTime(Convert.ToInt32(myRYear.SelectedValue), Convert.ToInt32(myRMonth.SelectedValue), Convert.ToInt32(myRDate.SelectedValue));
But the #@#$!@# thing returns today's date!
This is not what I want obviously. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? Why doesn't it return the date as chosen?
If I remove the myRDate.SelectedIndex = DateTime.Now.Day line from the initial population statement the 3 dropdowns are set to 1/1/2010 but the chosen values are passed to the database correctly.
Is there another way to set the initial selection that will not affect the dropdown for all time.

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 have a text box into which the user types a string of characters. When they have completed this search string they click on a button which then displays the number of matches found and populates a DropDownList control with them. The user has to then drop down the control to see the matches, but it would be much slicker to drop down the control automatically for them, especially as they sometimes don't notice there is more than one match and, therefore, select the wrong one.

In my project requirement user wants to enter a manual entry if they can not find an item in the drop down list.
Right now what I am doing is:
I set the dropdown list autopost back true and on selectedchanged event I am hiding the drop down list and showing a text box to enter a manual entry...
This is working perfect and no problems..
but the drop down list needs to change to a text box on only selecting a "unknown" option in the list...all other list items are doing unnecessary post back to the server with no use...

I'm trying to figure out some alternate ways of dealing with a smaller subsets of records from a larger set of records. This would be to increase performance and make it easier for the user to navigate, as opposed to trying to navigate a really large unwieldy record set. I know of a few ways a user can select a record from a record set. Selecting from a Grid View, drop down list, list box are some the first ones that come to mind. Another way I've seen, I think it was done with a repeater or User Control, is to list all of the letters in the alphabet as links and then only return the records that correspond to the letter that was selected.
It could also be done to allow the user to search by last name, first letter of the last name or some other similar method. I'm curious if there are any other ways of doing this. Does anyone know any other techniques that would create a better user experience when selecting a record or subset of records from a large record set?

In my controller I generated a SelectList that I pass to the dropdown helper:<%= Html.DropDownList("abc123", Model.SomeList) %>I look at the querystring for a value, which is a ID.I then loop through all the items in the SelectList and if it is equal to the ID, I do:The controller action then passes this SelectList to the view and then to the Html helper.In debug mode I can see the value does get set to true, but the html renders without selecting the item.

I apologize in advance for my poor english:1. I have a dropdownList within my datagrid and its already populated fine (22 rows in my datagrid)2. The select item for the 21 row is the same as the select item of the 22 row3. When trying to do selectedIndexChange for the 22 row, it didn't seem to work.The error:
Dim ddl As DropDownList = CType(sender, DropDownList)
Dim dgi As DataGridItem = CType(ddl.Parent.Parent, DataGridItem)
Dim rowID As Integer = dgi.ItemIndex
The rowID keep staying at 20 even though the selectedIndexChanged is happening in row 22( ie. rowID should be 21)

I want to select a particular item in a dropdownlist by value, in asp.net using IronPython.
I found I can do it like this
listItem = ddl.Items.FindByValue(x)
if listItem != None: listItem.Selected = True
But I want to do it in one line

Suppose I have a list of a couple of thousand organizations and a user needs to be able to select one of them. The list is too large to populate in a dropdown at page load, and the user often knows what they want but it's not the first part of the organization name. That is, they know "Collections" but not that the precise name of the organization is "Department of Collections". So the user will need/want to type in some information.
It's easy enough to use an autocompleting textbox of some kind, but I don't want to allow the user to type in random text - they have to choose one of the organizations explicitly.

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 fill a the drop down list with a SQL select query, but i want to add a first default item, something like "- Select an option -" or "All"
What im trying to do is make a dynamic SQL query, something like this:
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE (value1 = ? AND value2 = ? AND value3 = ? )........ (or "like" instead of "=")
You are gonna have to select those arguments from 3 drop down lists, but i wanna have a default value on the top of the drop down list options and send a "*" as value if this option its selected, so the filter doesn't consider that value
