View 3 RepliesI have a dropdown list that is populated by a dataset (Data being extracted from DB). Based on the selection made by the user I call OnSelectedIndexChanged, and populated the form with the relevent info. The problem I am having is the first item in the list is selected by default, so if the user selects this option OnSelectedIndexChanged does not fire. To work around this I add a default item to the dropdown list after populating it with the dataset as shown here;
jobStandardActList.Items.Insert(0,
jobStandardActList.SelectedIndex = 0;
jobStandardActList.SelectedValue =
"----Select an Item----");"";
This works fine, however if the user selects an item from the list, and then proceeds to selects the default item "----Select Item----" i receive an error. sys.webforms.pagerequestmanagersevererrorexception: an unknown error occured while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 500
I want to have a default value/item of "---Select One---" and then list all of the values from the SQL statement. Currently I am having trouble doing this. I tried to add it to the List Item but it doesn't show on the page.

I wish to pass values of the selected items into a database and however noticed that the selected item is not what is sent into the database you can see in the snap shot below. during run time the following value is recorded. Where did it all go wrong with the dropdown lists selected item? Counting on your intelligence.

I am stuck at this point "Displaying a dropdown list of Categories with a --None -- Option. I want the gridview control to display 2 dropdown list one in read-only mode and the other in edit mode. When a record is in read-only mode, the dropdownlist's enabled property will be set to false."When it's on a read-only mode, it doesn't display the selected Category. it shows but the "No Category". When i click on edit to edit or change category, it doesn't display the selected category.

I have 2 drop down lists.I have a very simple dropdown list #1 that diplays a title and holds an id value which is a GUID.I know it is getting this value and sending this value as I tested sending it to a label.I have the dropdown list #1 to autopostback to dropdown list #2 that "Is supposed to get" another title and value based on the GUID value of the first dropdown list. for some reason it wont return anything. I have done 100's of these but never based off a guid value.I assume the value needs to be converted to guid before selecting it in the second dropdown list.How can I do this? or is there something I am missing?

View 4 RepliesClicking the label of a drop down list, re-sets the selected value to the first item in the list. This has a history of causing data entry problems when users accidently click on the label.

So my dropdown will be populated with a list of years that could be different depending on the SchoolID passed in. I want my default value to be the max returned in the SELECT query minus 5 (so in other words, the max index minus 5). For example, if my list of years was:
2004-05
2005-06
2006-07
2007-08
2008-09
2009-10
2010-11
2011-12

I am not trying to achieve anythign fancy but just trying to set default selected value for one of the dropdown that I am using. for that I am doing Items>selected= true for whatever item I want selected when i load the page. In my case, it is a month dropdows and I am selecting date 14 as selected default value out of all 30 values but somehow, out of the blue .NEt decides to show me 29 instead of 14. I am not sure if there is some another setting that is overwritting this value.
View 2 RepliesI have a date list in DropDown and there is no blank item in it. Dropdown item seems to be following:
01-02-2010
02-02-2010
03-02-2010
04-02-2010
DropDown is bounded by sqlDataSource.
If 04-02-2010 is the last date for today then I want to display 04-02-2010 by default in the dropdown if the page load.
We are updating data on daily basis. So on next day the date will be 05-02-2010 so when the data updated then 05-02-2010 should be shown iby default in the dropdown.
How can i generate dropdown lists based on what has been selected in the checckbox list. Below is an example of what i need. if the user selects the options day, lotID and waferID, then 3 cascading dropdown lists should be displayed. And then a gridview displays data based on what has been chosen in the dropdown lists.
Day
LotID
SlotID
WaferID
VendorID
ToolID
LocationDetected
ProcessStep
Stage
Precipe
WaferStartMaterial
WaferStartVendor
WaferStartLot
WaferDiameterCOA
WaferMapTitle
BreakPoint
BreakpointSide

I'm trying to progam a strongly typed "Create" view using MVC 3 and razor. I want the user to be able to select a customer from a dropdown list (I populated this from my database using ViewBag in the controller). When the user has selected a customer I want a separate dropdown list to generate a list of dogs belonging to that customer related by the customerID in the database. The create button on the form will then take both of these values along with the the other fields and save it to the database.
View 1 RepliesI have a Cascading drop down list that is working fine to load the correct lists however I would like to have the last one initiate a query and display a datagrid on the same page containing the results of the query. Without Ajax involved this seems rather easy by using autopostback on the drop downs. If I could do it through Ajax that would be great but I can settle with having the page to reload to display the data. Right now I'm not sure how to do either. I enabled autopostback on the last drop down and wrote a method for it but I get an error at runtime saying:
Invalid postback or callback argument
I'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 have a list on the page & I'm trying to add it a dropdown list to narrow down the results
