Web Forms :: Programmatically Select Item In DropDownList Based On Text Value
May 7, 2010
Here's what I want to accomplish: I have two .aspx pages, the first page with a ddl to select a vendor (SelectVendor.aspx), and one to add a vendor (NewVendor.aspx), if it's not in the first one. If a user adds a new vendor on the NewVendor.aspx page I want the page to automatically redirect back to SelectVendor.aspx and have the ddl automatically select the new vendor that was just added. Here's where I'm at so far: If a vendor is not listed in the ddl on SelectVendor.aspx, a user can click a button to navigate to a page to add a new vendor (NewVendor.aspx). On NewVendor.aspx the user types the name of the new vendor in a textbox and clicks an insert button to add the new vendor, then the page is automatically redirected back to SelectVendor.aspx with the new vendor name added to the QueryString. For example, let's say a user adds a vendor name "Best Vendor": The page is redirected back to SelectVendor.aspx as "SelectVendor.aspx ?vendor=Best Vendor"Now all I need from here is to have the ddl programmatically select the new vendor by the text value in the QueryString.
Here is the code that I'm having trouble with from my Page_Load routine for SelectVendor.aspx:

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 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 a small vb.net-based page, displaying a booking form with a large dropdown of movies.
now this page can be opened on two ways, one is directly (no preselection=no problem)
the second way is with a link like "page1.aspx?movieid=400" which should open the booking table and preselect the movie with ID 400.
How can I do this in VB.Net?

I have an <asp:Menu> object on my webpage and it works but it has a very minor shortcoming that is very irritating.
Currently, the menu item is activated when the user clicks on the TEXT of the menu item (Home for example). However, the menu item does not allow me to click on the menu item when I put the mouse over the rectangle which the menu item is in but not on the text.
So if I click on the WORD Home, it works.
When I attempt to click right next to the word HOME, it does not work. I know that I am in the menu item rectangle because I change the background color when hovering over it.
Is there a way to have the menu be active when the mouse is anywhere in the menu item?
Or am I limited to only being able to click on the menu item hyperlink ONLY?

I have 2 dropdownlist controls (ddl1 and ddl2). When I pick an item from ddl1, it will update ddl2. The problem is when I pick an item in ddl2, it always selects the first item in the list. Is it that the ddl2 autopostback causes the first ddl1 to reload and results the ddl2 to be refreshed also? Or I didn't set something correctly?

I have been trying for a while to populate a formview when I select an item from the dropdownlist. The dropdownlist is outside of the formview. For some reason, when I select a different item it does not change in the formview. Only the first item of the list shows up. I don't know where I'm doing wrong. I tried many things and suggested informatioin and I still could not get it to work. When I do try to switch I get this error message:
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I'm using a DropDownList with a data source which successfully populates the list. However, I want one of the items to be selected, namely the one where the value matches the path and query of the current request.
ddlTopics.DataSource = pdc;
ddlTopics.DataBind();
foreach (ListItem item in ddlTopics.Items)
{
item.Selected = item.Value.Equals(this.Page.Request.Url.PathAndQuery);
}
Using the debugger in Visual Studio 2008 reveals that item.Selected becomes true exactly once in the loop, but the rendered select has no option that is selected.

I have a databound dropdown list (ASP.net). I want the page to load with a certain item as the selected item.
I am not adding a blank first row (thats not what i need)I find that I can get this to work with "AppendDataBoundItems" to true, but the side-effect is that I have all the items listed twice.

I have a Dropdownlist filled from database. Its datavaluefield has a combination of 2 values from database as :
Select (convert(varchar,DoctorID)+'*'+Ltrim(RTrim(DoctorAddress))) as DoctorIDAddress
ddlDoctorName.DataValueField = "DoctorIDAddress"
now while updating the form i want to select value in dropdown list with a combination of two values from database table.
ddlDoctorName.SelectedValue = Securities.HTMLEncode(dr("ReferredByDoctorID").ToString()) + "*" + Securities.HTMLEncode(dr("RefAddress").ToString.Trim)
but when i HTMLCode my Address field and it has '&' saved in it, then it encodes it as '&' and ddl don't have selected value.
so , is there any way to select an item value from ddl using like operator or other :
ddlDoctorName.SelectedValue = Securities.HTMLEncode(dr("ReferredByDoctorID").ToString()) + "*" +"%"

I have a HyperLink control in a ListView, and I need to pass a couple of querystring parameters.
[Code]....
The first parameter is based on the current DataItem value in the LV.
Suppose I want to set a second parameter with a value from Selected.Item.Text in a DropDownList on the same page, how would the HyperLink look?

I need to bind my dropdownlist to my dataset that is returning application specific text values. But for purposes on that page, i need to assign the value to each one starting at 0 to the number of items returned from my dataset..
Example, if my dataset only returns 1 item, the value of that item needs to be 0
[Code]....
If my dataset returns 4 items, the value of those items needs to be 0 thru 3
[Code]....
Is it possible to assign values like that to a dropdownlist from the code behind?
