I have a datasource definded as a query to my database that has a column named "PrimaryUse". Sometimes there can be a value in the PrimaryUse column that isn't listed as one of the dropdownlist items and so my application crashes when trying to bind the dropdownlist's selectedvalue to that field. I'm trying to create code in the edititemtemplate's OnDataBinding event that will check if the value being returned from the datasource is a valid value listed as an item in the dropdownlist options. My problem is that I'm not sure how to get the datasources fieldvalue for that column in the behind code. Is this possible? Is so, can some one give me an example or point me in the direction on how to do this?So, in the OnDataBinding event for the edititemtemplate listed above, I would like to do the something like the following (psuedo code):
if datasource.datafieldvalue("PrimaryUse") is in dropdownlist.Items then Valid
else set dropdownlist.Selectedvalue = "Default"
The DataTable from which it receives the DataTextField and DataValueField values also returns some other interesting information about the records. Say Active = Y/N for simplicity's sake.
What I'd like to do is to set the background-color property of the DropDownList Item based on that Active field in the DataSource results. Further, I'd like to do this "in the same pass" as when the DropDownList is bound to the data. So my guess is that it has to happen during OnDataBound.
I could go back and loop through the DropDownList items later. But it would involve embedding loops and re-visiting the DataTable rows and it just seems inefficient
int row; for (row = 0; row < DropDownList1.Items.Count - 1; row++) { [[if this row = that data row]] DropDownList1.Items[row].[[DoStuffHere, etc.]] }

I have a FormView and I want to set a default value from the database. I can't get it to bind to the value in the database. My FormView looks like this:
i hvae a database named anil and TABLE NAMED COURSE_IN fields are (gridview with regnumber,name,dtjoin, qual, OY, OTY,VDA) and another table course with (OY, OTY,VDA) fiedls. my grid view displays adata from databse with edit facility.
one dropdownlist out side grid selected value is displayed in gridview
I have a dropdownlist embedded into an asp.net gridview. I have successfully populated the dropdown list in the footer but have not been able to populate the dropdownlist in the EditItemTemplate. Here is my code that works. I need to do the exact same thing for a dropdownlist embedded in the update functionality of the gridview.
I have a dropdown list within a listview 'EditItemTemplate' and 'InsertItemTemplate" which I am trying to populate from the database with code behind with ItetmDataBound event. Problem is I am getting NullException when I use this code which works fine for ItemTemplate.
I have a gridview and it has two EditItemTemplates. I want to update the items inside the second dropdown (EditItemTemplate) when I select an item from the first dropdownlistbox (EditItemTemplate). I want to update dropdownlist2 when I select an item from dropdownlist1. How can I do this?

The EditItemTemplate does not even load when I click the edit button on my FormView control, but I don't get an error message either.
I have two embedded dropdown lists in Gridview control. One gives you business channel options and the other represents products depending on the business channel selected.I am trying to use different data sources for product dropdown list depeding on what the user selected from the business channel drop down list. How could I do this. Here is my current code:
I'm attempting to load DropDownLists from the C# codebehind as the FormView switches modes to Edit and displays the EditItemTemplate. I present the data in a FormView ItemTemplate using text boxes. When the user selects Edit, I have been attempting to load the EditItemTemplate dropdownlists by creating a dataset and binding it to the control, without success.
I've successfully loaded them in previous projects from within the .aspx code using <asp:ListItem> and within the C# code behind using Control.Items.Add(new ListItem), which are essentially the same thing of course . This project is different in that I want to get the data from a stored procedure on a MSSQL server.
In my latest attempt, I can see the data in the datasets. I'm getting "Error connecting to database.'eitRace' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.Parameter name: value"
I include the code below. If someone could point me to an example I would be greatful. There has to be an elegant way of accomplishing this.
I'm new to asp.net. I have a page with formview to read, edit and insert data to sql server 2008. On the page there are textboxes, dropdownlists. The Dropdownlist1 is bound to a lookup table. I also have a pop-up page to add, delete and update data underlying table. The problem is after i insert a new record to the lookup table and close the pop-up page, rebind the dropdownlist on the parent page. I'm refreshing the page with window.opener.location.href ....
but i want only the refresh the dropdownlist on the parent page.
have a dropdownlist (ddl2) which is dependent on the selected value of another dropdownlist (ddl1).I have set the appendatabounditems to "true" for ddl2 and have added a "Please Select" and a "Select All" options. The Options show in the list when the page first loads. When ddl1 is selected the page refreshes and ddl2 is populated, however the "Please Select" and "Select All" options have disappeared.
Basically when editing an item, I want to bind its ProviderId value to the DropDownList's select value.DropDownList is getting its list of values from other entity entity_List as you can see.
I've got a class that implements IListSource and returns a generic List of ListItem objects (List<ListItem>). in this list one of the ListItems has the Selected attribute set to true.On the web page I have a standard asp:dropdownlist and I set it's datasource to the getList method of my class and databind it.The problem is that the databind seems to loose the selected Item and the first item in the generic list becomes selected.
I have a dynamically created dropdownlist I'm databinding. Everything seems fine until I trigger the ondatabinging to change the text of the item bound. How can I access the source data from here?
I have a gridview in which I have two drop downs. One is populated with values that are static, so I have a regular sub that does that in the code behind. I tried to add code for databinding the other ddl to a datatable. I cannot get this to work. It just comes up empty. My asp code is fine, and the datatable definately has data in it - just nothing gets populated.
One other thing - the code for the static ddl has worked fine, but when I add this other block (either to the same sub as that, or dow the rowdatabound event) the static one doesn't work either.
I am trying to create a Gridview in which I can update the Project Officer name in the Gridview from a DropDownList.
The Project Officer DDL comes from a seperate query (SqlProjectOfficerName) as the other information (SqlDataSource1)... as you can see below.
When I select EDIT, the DDL appears and I can select from the list of Project Officers, but when I select UPDATE, the name of the Project Officer doesnot change.
review the code below and assist as appropriate to write the Project Officer's name back to the table.
I have a custom DataControlField class that works fine but when I try to use <%# Eval('???') %> with it I get an error."Databinding expressions are only supported on objects that have a DataBinding event. SharedG.ImageLinkButtonField does not have a DataBinding event."I can't get this to work,the DataControlField dosen't seem to have a DataBinding event to override or anything.I could use a normal templatefield itemtemplate etc.with eval but I don't want to rewrite this all the time.

I have a webForm which host a gridview and a formview. The formview is used for showing/editing a record which the user Select from the gridview.
In the formview Edit template I used DropDownList controls with
SelectedValue='<% bind("datafield")%>'
for enabling the user easier interface. A few of the DropDownList controls need to have a list of 100 items and I want to load the items from code behind and not from the aspx.
I tried to update the DDL's from FormView.Load, FormView.ModeChanging, FormView.PreRender but nothing I am getting an error like this:
[code]....
How do I load the DropDownList controls with items BEFORE the form databinding occurs.
I have many controls on my form, but in particular, I have 2 dropdownlists. 1 dropdown list has 2 values, and each value controls what the second dropdownlist displays. This is an edititemtemplate and both dropdowns have the selecteditem set via '<%# Bind("fieldname") #>' on page load.
THe problem is, if I change the value of the first dropdown, it errors out because the second dropdwon has a bound value that is no longer acceptable.
Can I cancel the bind of the second control, if the the first one is changed? I would like to cancel the bind, and update the values by using a different datasource depending on the value of the first dropdown or hardcode the new values.
If Dropdown1 has a value of "A" for example Dropdown 2 Shows Values "1", "2", "3"
If Dropdown 1 has a value of "B" , Dropdown2 Shows Values "4", "5", "6".
It binds fine initially, but if I change Dropdown1 from A to B, I want Dropdown2 to show the new values, maybe with a default of "Select an Item" and not error out b/c it's attempts to bind a value of 1, 2, or 3.
Bringing back to life an old post that I dont believe ever got solved: http://forums.asp.net/t/1562245.aspxThis may be an old thread .... but no answer was ever given ... and I too have a radio button list and DDL and am stuck in the EXACT same place. If I check one of the two data bound radio buttons, the DDL should repopulate with a different set of results. This works just fine EXCEPT .... the DDL cannot be databound. If I set SELECTEDVALUE of the control to a bind I get this error:Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.I have followed the advice on this page from various users, all to no avail....surely this can be done, and I assume quite simply. Anyone know the answer?
I have a formview that has several dropdownlists in the EditItemTemplate. Some of the dropdownlists are added using placeholders. I can add and populate their listitems without any problem. But when I update the record, none of the controls can be found--even though when I look at the page source they are there. I first strated out using asp:ControlParameter in my sqldatasource updateparameters, but even referencing the control as myform$mycontrol did nothing. So then I moved to code behind on the sqldatasource.updating event (code is attached). The only controls I cannot seem to bind to the update are those added via the placeholder.
[Code]....
The item at the dim statement is not an item added using a placeholder and does not get a null reference exception (I used that to prove during debbugging that I wasn't losing my mind)--however, all the items being used to get the parameter values are getting null reference exceptions and are added via placeholders. Here is the code I'm using to set up the dropdownlists:
[Code]....
how to get the value of these controls so they can be used in my update?
I have requirement to bind ASP.Net DropDownList control in EditItemTemplate of GridView.
I preferred the tutorial:
[URL]...
i have followed same steps just but difference is i have a edit imagebutton with commandname="Edit".Also dropdown needs to be binded from different table(directory) and not the table through whicch grid is binded(details).
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow && (e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) == DataControlRowState.Edit && GridView1.EditIndex == e.Row.RowIndex) { DropDownList DStatusEdit = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("DStatusEdit"); string query = "select distinct status from directory"; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query); DStatusEdit.DataSource = GetData(cmd);
[CODE]..
the page is running but when i click edit image button the dropdwn shows but no data in dropdown binded it is empty.
My gridview is inside update panel.
How can i achieve this?
Should dropdownlist in my case be binded inside rowcommand and how?
