i have a table with three columns as ID,baseid,name.
[code]...
i will display all baseid 0 values in first dropdownlist1
based on the selection corresponding values will be shown in dropdownlist2 (like when desc1 is selected desc1212 &desc2323 will be shown in dropdownlist2. now i want to edit/add details to the table from aspx page.
I have created two dropdown lists. The 2nd DDL depends for values on the 1st DDL. I have written code on the SelectedIndexChanged event of 1st DDL to change values of 2nd DDL. also i have used detailsview. In the template field i have used 2 DDL mentioned above. they are having SelectedValue='<%# Bind("") %>' property. Everything works fine but when i tried to edit record in detailsview & select value from 1st DDL then it gives me following error.
Server Error in '/' Application. Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I am making an application that deals with vehicles. I need two DropDownLists:
Makes: All Vehicle Makes
Models: Models that belong to the selected value of the Make DropDownList
How is this done in MVC2? My Idea: Do I use an ajax call when my first list is selected and then pull back the Models to bind to the Model DDL? How would model binding come into play that way? UPDATE I posted what I ended up doing as an answer. It is super simple and works great. You can use a get too if you feel so inclined, but you have to specify that you want to like so... return Json(citiesList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

let me know if some body tried to use a cascading dropdownlist inside a formview to be used in update and insert templates.known that my tables are like this:
Section:
SecID SecTitle
Category: [code]...
I need to create a formview to insert and update all my news but I need a cascading Dropdownlist to select a section and generate the related categories Note that I need to display the Sectoin and the Category Titles
I have two comboboxes say DDL 1 : Artist , DDL 2: Albums and a Gridview containing ( album name, artist name, no.of tracks, year, etc), What I want to achieve is: when an option(artist1) in DDL1 is chosed, then the albums related to DDL1 needs to display in DDL 2 and also it must update the appropriate values in the gridview( artistname, albums(album name -no of songs, year)etc...(language: Asp.net(VB)-Sql server ).
I looked at your article regarding cascading dropdownlists and was really useful but in my case I want to use two drop down lists and a grid view.
I have 3 cascading dropdownlists. Everything works OK EXCEPT whenever I change the selection in the dropdownlist, the old values from the previous selection are added to the new values (specifically DropDownList id=InstructorList and CourseNumberList)
ASPX page,
<asp:AccessDataSource id="CourseNameSource" Runat="Server" DataFile="r:angel_file_storageCourses.mdb" SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT CourseField FROM (SELECT Mid(CourseField, 1, 4) AS CourseField FROM Course_Load) ORDER BY CourseField"/>
I have 2 dropdownlists and on change 1st dropdownlist (ddlPlant), the 2nd dropdownlist (ddlCategoryName) refreshes its data based on 1st dropdownlist value. However, the codes does not worked.

I have an ASP.NET/C# web project that uses an Entity Data Model and Entity Framework to interact with my database. I also have a DetailsView control that will serve as the control used to insert a new record. The user will need to be able to select from multiple,
cascading dropdownlist controls to determine what parent record this new record will belong to. Here is an example.Say we have an online ordering system with the following hierarchy.
Customers -> Orders -> OrderParts -> Parts
We're going to add a new part to an order, under a customer. Ultimately the orderparts table won't have a reference to a customer, just an order. The order will have the reference to the customer. In the DetailsView for the new orderparts record we will need two cascading dropdownlist controls. One for customer and one for order, since we won't want to view some crazy amount of orders all in one dropdownlist.
However, the customer dropdownlist should not be bound to the detailsview control since there is no field for it. I also don't want to use the AJAX control since I don't want to create a separate web service to provide all of this information to the dropdownlist controls.

View 1 RepliesI don't want to link my dropdownlists with a database like most of tutorials and forums show. I just want to link 2 dropdownlists, for instance if one says "Food" I want to show only the food producs in the other DropDownList. All this items are not from a database, I just inserted them in the DropDownList control.

I have a .aspx page having two dropdowns, the data to be loaded in them is usually static(but may change everyday), the first dropdown always displays the main categories and the second dropdown is initially empty.
Now, the requirement is:
As the user selects a category from the first dropdownlist, the second dropdownlist should populate based on the selection just made.
The road-block:
This should be done without a postback. My boss wants something like the drop downs on this page.
So what I gather is, I'd have to retrieve the data from the database on page load event, store it in the cache(or somewhere else?), then use javascript to handle the selectedindexchanged event of the 1st dropdown, use the data from database stored at pageload and populate the second dropdown according to the selected value of first dropdown.
P.S.- I'm a beginner ASP.Net C# programmer and have no knowledge of Javascript.
implementing cascading static dropdownlist in asp.net
View 1 RepliesI am new to ASP.NET MVC 2. In my project, there are two selects: one that contains a list of countries and another that should contain the states/provinces/etc for the country selected in the previous select.
Is there any possibility to create a cascading select without using any client scripting?
I am trying to use a solution for a cascading dropdownlist (the selection in one dropdownlist determines the options in the second one) found here:
[URL]
[code]...
how to get a default value for the dropdownlists. Since otherwise the customer dropdownlist will have a value when you first get to the page, but the task list won't...
I am referring to following line from this link [URL] ....
data 'continentId ' 'ddlContinents.ClientID'.val ''
In your code. i tried using this code and facing a tiny problem. In above mentioned code 'ddlContinents.ClientID'.val stores integer value in contentId for obvious reasons but the requirement of my code is different. i want to pass text which is selected instead of id no.for example if mumbai is listed as second option and i select mumbai it should store mumbai in contentId instead of 2 i.e. integer value.
My application includes a gridview control with and Edit mode which allows users to do selections using cascading dropdownlist. My code is based on tutorial by Brian Orrell (link below). I am able to statically populate the dropdownlist but in my case I need to populate it dynamically based on a previous selection of a dropdownlist, I would like to do it programatically so I can manipulate data.

I am trying to get two cascading dropdownlist to work but cannot get either to populate. How do I de-bug this? I'm not getting any errors, just blank dropdowns.
I've been trying to fill in webservice from SQL Server. But in-case this was the problem. I found an example on this site to fill with test values, but this still does not work. Since I cannot even get first to populate, to simplify I'm just giving code for first dropdown and its function(s)

I think this needs to be a sticky since this is not solved anywhere that I have been looking... I have been googling this for a while now and came across the answer by shear luck and a simple typo when I was writing the code...
Problem: I have 2 dropdown lists...
ddllist1 and ddlist2... Both are code-behind populated via a sql DB.
they are cascading lists via the ajax control.
I am trying to dynamically populate them with values from a DB for edit reasons.
When I try to get them populated I kept getting the error...
"dropdownlist has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items"
Solution:
1) get the values from the DB or from where ever...
2) create a sql select to get the values from the ddl db
3) set the ID of the first DDL control to cddcontrol1.SelectedValue = id (this is a number)
4) set the value of the DDL to the string value ddlist2.SelectedValue = value (this is a string)
here is the code.
