C# - Dropdown - Get The Value Of The First Item In The List Regardless Of What Item Is Actually Selected
Dec 3, 2010
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.

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.
<p>
<tr> <td ><asp:Label ID="lblContactType" Font-Bold="true" Text="Contract Type: *" ForeColor= "red" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="ddlContactType"></asp:Label> </td> <td > <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddlContactType" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" AppendDataBoundItems="true"
DataTextField="TYPE" DataValueField="ID" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CONTACT_TYPE_ID") %>'>
<asp:ListItem Text="Select One" Value="0" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem>.......

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 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 am facing a problem with jquery bubbleup plugin....
My goal is to show selected item text in a bubble up on the top of the asp.net dropdown list...
I did it on the server side and its working fine....now i want to do it in a nice way using jquery....
I am not concern with only bubble up...
anything which shows my selected item text in the dropdown list...because some text in the drop down is very big and we are unable to see it..
I do have around 10 dropdown lists on my page and all are inside formviews...
so its better to operate on class selector...like $('.mydropdown').val();

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 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 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:
ListViewDataItem item = (ListViewDataItem)e.Item;
int LstIndex = item.DataItemIndex;
RadComboBox ddlCategory = (RadComboBox)(listView1.Items[LstIndex].FindControl("rdComboCategory"));
Also, I get listview.item.count zero. IS there any event where I will get listitem count and list items?
