Web Forms :: How To Raise An Event When User Clicks On An Item In The Dropdown List
Nov 18, 2010
my dropdown list contains 3 items google,yahoo,hotmail.
It the user selects google msgbox should be raised saying "You hae selected google". Thats it. I m not getting how to do that. I tried on selectedchangeindex event but nothing happened.
Does anyone know how to do this so when I select something the 1st dropdown and the 2nd one becomes visible and populates list from a Select statement. I really need help on how to do in an aspx and not on the code behind page.
Clicking 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.
In the below example ddlContactType has a selected value as 'PRIMARY' and whenever i click on the lblContactType Text, the dropdown box Selected value is changing to "Select One" Text.
How to prevent this one. It should be on PRIMARY Only.
I have looked around different properties of asp:menu and set different properties but I just can't figure out a way to make asp:menu behave like "sample 2" from the following url.
I have a user control that contains a repeater. We have added some paging and sorting into the user control and it all works well.
What I need now is a nice way to catch the OnItemDataBound event of the inner repeater and then bubble it up to be accessible directly from the user control from within the page.
We have tried catching it and then declaring it in the user control but it just won't work.
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.
I have a form free user feilds, some drop down which are populated by a database data and a button. I want to create a new line in a table when the user clicks on the button. the values for this new line will come from the Values (not visible content) of the drop box, the content of the text feild, the user ID that I should get from the connection and the current date... ie, I want do do a INSERT INTO table (userid, dropdown, text, date) values (how do I get the user ID from the session?, how do I get the value from the drop down?, how do I get the text from the text box?, how do I get the current date?)
I have a drop down list control populated with items and some code to take the currently selected item value. The problem is I only get the value of the first item in the list regardless of what item is actually selected. Here is my code to populate the drop down:
protected void displayCreateCategories() { StoreDataContext db = new StoreDataContext(); var a = from c in db.Categories orderby c.Name select new{catName= c.Name, catId=c.CategoryID}; ddlCategory.DataSource = a; ddlCategory.DataTextField = "catName"; ddlCategory.DataValueField = "catId"; ddlCategory.DataBind(); }
To get the value of the currently selected item which in my case is always of type integer I do label1.text=Convert.toInt32(ddlCategory.SelectedValue); I get the selected value, but it is always for the 1st item in the list. I'm pulling my hair out over this.
i have used one drop down list box...in that ....whn i m running web applicaiton i need to stick the value which i m selected for the movement upto i select the next choice. it is always going to the first value always. i have 40 items in my drop down. whn i select the 5TH item after selecting 5th item it going to first item.
I am using database table as datasource for my dropdownlist. I want to add an extra item in my dropdownlist for example "select country".
how can i do that.. currently my code is:
dropdownlist1.datasource=dt; dropdownlist1.datavaluefield="country_id"; dropdownlist1.datatextfield="country_name"; dt is a datatable , "country_id" & "country_name" are columns
I have a file upload control. I would like to do something when the user clicks on the brose/choose file. Basically, I want to autopopulate the textbox once the user clicks to browse and get the file.
I am trying to preselect an item in a drop down list box based upon a value I pass in from a data reader. When I place a "Watch" on the drop down list box, the code I am listing below says that it does what it is supposed to and sets the "selected item" to the one I want BUT when the page is rendered and comes up the first item is always selected. It is like it loses the set when the page is loaded or something.
Here is the code.... <td style="width:33%"><asp:Label CssClass="formlabel" ID="lblRU" runat="server" Text="Reporting Unit: "> </asp:Label> <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlRepUnitTeam" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataValueField="MR_LU_TEAMS_PK" DataTextField="MR_LU_TEAMS_NAME"> </asp:DropDownList> </td> <% For Each item As ListItem In ddlRepUnitTeam.Items If item.Text = myReader.GetString(0) Then ' ddlRepUnitTeam.Visible = False item.Selected = True Exit For End If Next %>
For giggles, I add the ".Visible = False" in there as a test and commented it out later. That doesnt work either. The item still is visible. I know the IF statement passes as it enters into the if statement using debug mode and hits the "Exit For" so I know the condition is being met. I am at a loss over this one.
I want to access a dropdown control value of each list item as soon as it is created. I tried with ItemCreated and ItemDataBound events but I am getting null contro when I try to access control as shown below:
I have a simple databound dropdownlist. On top, I have a default selection, '--Please Select--', followed by another default selection, '-- Other --'. Here's the script:
[Code]....
Now, my user wants the '--other--' selection to appear on the BOTTOM of the dropdown as opposed to right sfter '--Please select--'. How do I accomplish this?
i have a dropdown list in edit mode and read only mode. If users upload pictures, i want them to chose a category for the uploaded pics and display it in a gridview as below.(See Picture below). When i include "SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CategoryID")" in edit and item template mode, i get this error "'PictureReadOnlyCategories' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value "
When i removed the "SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CategoryID")" from edit and item template, i get the result on the pic below(screenshot). If u can see the pic below the category is not selected, it just display the -- No Category -- even when i chose a category for the pic. I want when a pic is uploaded and i category chosen, to display on the gridview. The code for the error message is below:
I have a DetailsView that binds a User's Profile data into an ItemTemplate upon the Page_Load. When the user chooses Edit Mode, all of the Data is correctly carried over, except for the DropDownLists selected values. If on the ReadOnly page, the user's data shows "Male" for the Sex, then on the edit Mode page, I would like the DropDownList that gets the sexes from the database ("male", "female"), to have automatically selected "Male" in the DropDownList, not the lowest indexed item.
I have some dropdown list boxes that I need to fill with data from a database but I also need the first option to be "Show All"... So I need to combine using a datasource and manually adding an item to the top of the list. I have tried two different ways with no luck:
1. with the appendDataboundItems = true, on aspx page, and below code in codebehind:
I have a web form for handling invoices which has a form view. When I'm in insert item template, I need to have various fields. Some of them are contract number, invoice number, register date and other that are easy to handle. But there is a dropdown list related with a table of prices (the table has price name, price initial payment, number of payments, amount of month fee and so on). So, when the dropdown is selected, fields related with price should get their values from price table, and then the user decides to keep them or type in new values. How can I get it done? Should I use a Dynamic populate extender or type all the code behind using SelectedIndexChanged method to populate price related controls?
I've a dropdown list for departments (engineering, bio, chemistry,physics etc.) when somebody choose the departments from the dropdown list, it displays the opening closing time(hours) in a detailsview controls.
I have separate homepage for these departments ( these are the static html pages and no way to send querystring value) and I want to link the hours for each department from the departmental homepage.
When I choose the department from the DDL, everytime it's the same URL.
How can I solve the problem So that I can point the respective hours from the respective departments ?
Is there any way for one user control to raise an event that is handled by another user control without going through the page? I am using Umbraco and do not have access to the page object.
--Edit--
Umbraco has the idea of Macro's (user controls) that it loads into pages. I can't access the page directly as this is part of the framework.
There is a publish subscribe (pubsub) pattern that I know would fit my needs well (2 user controls that need to talk to each other) but am unsure how to hook it up in ASP.Net without the page object.
