Is it possible to display a list of descriptive phrases (say pulled from a lookup table in a database) but store a code in another table? I'm a beginner at ASP.NET but have some experience with SQL Server. If so, how can I do it?
View 9 RepliesI 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.

SELECT *
FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE COLUMN_NAME =
'Description'
vw_aspnet_Applications Description
aspnet_Roles Description
vw_aspnet_Roles Description
aspnet_Applications Description
The above query returns only those columns that are named "Description" from the default asp.net membership tables. That is not what I want. Each column has a property called "Description" which allows the developer to provide a detailed description for each SQL field (a.k.a. "column"). Example: aspnet_Membership has a column "Password" which does not have anything in the "Description" property although it should have imo
because without a description, it is not obvious that the password's value happens to be encrypted.
Scenario: Assume that I have a table called Trucks that has data like
Number Odometer ... et cetera
It's schema looks something like this (abbreviated)
COLUMN_NAME Description
Number yyyynnnn where 'yyyy' is year truck was purchased, 'nnnn' is sequential number.
Odometer most recent odometer reading in kilometres
How would I code a SQL SELECT statement in SSMS 2008 to display the schema data such as a column's name, its description text, et cetera? because "description" is such a generic term, I've so far been unsuccesful at locating further information in Google.

How would I go about displaying a databound dropdown list in a property grid, i.e. a dynamic list that can be used to set the value of an individual property?
View 1 RepliesI got one web page which is developed by using Asp.net. and in that page I have got one tab control which developed by using Ajax control toolkit (tab container). In that tab container i have got three tab pannels. In the first tab pannel have got two drop down list boxes and one image control box. wat I was trying to do is that by using calendar extender control in ajax control toolkit i was trying to display a day in the first drop down list box and month and year in second drop down list box. when user click on image control during run time a small calender will pops up and then user will select the propective date according to there choice and when they have finish selecting the date from the calender a day will display on first drop down list box and month and year will display on second drop down list box.
I was keep trying to do that but i was failed. then i took one test box from the toolbox and i was got success in displaying the user selected date in the text box by using ajax calender extender. How to display that date instead of one textbox into two separate drop down list boxes from which a user can select manual date from drop down list as well and from the calendar as well also when the page loads, the two drop down list boxes must show current date ( by default)
how to get text value of dropdown list box by its index.
i want to read the ddlproject.selectedindex = 0's text and assign it to a variable strProject.
Can these two properties of a dropdown list in ASP.NET be used independently?
I wanted to retrieve a null value when the user selects some text; I couldn't as it retrieves the Text property whenever the Value is null. Eg:
l1 = new ListItem("Cat", null);
Console.WriteLine(l1.Value);
The output is
Cat
In another situation, when both the properties have different strings, I get the string in the Value property when I use the Text property. Eg:
l2 = new ListItem("Cat", "Mouse");
DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
ddl.Items.Add(li);
ddl.SelectedIndex = 0;
Console.WriteLine(ddl.SelectedValue);
Console.WriteLine(ddl.Text);
The output is
Mouse
Mouse
First, a user select a country from a dropdown list. The selected item & its value are store in a seesion. Then the user leaves this page.
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="US" Selected="True">USA</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="AF">Afghanistan</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="AL">Albania</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
Dim arr(1) as string
arr(0) = ddl1.SelectedItem.ToString
arr(1) = ddl1.SelectedValue
Session("arr") = arr
Later on, the user may come back to the page and change the selection of the country. However, I want the dropdown list to remember the previously selected item and value. The item name and its value are now stored in an array. How do you assign it to the dropdown list as pre-selected.
I'm building a small website using ASP.net/C# and I wanted to know how to implement a simple search feature using a text box and a dropdown.
The datasource is a products table and in the text box I enter the product's name and in the dropdown are the categories. (I have managed to populate the dropdown with the available categories already)
It must follow these conditions:
If both text box and dropdown are blank all products must be listed;
If a category is chosen all products from that category must be listed;
If only text is filled, all products that match are shown;
I have a dropdown control that has a list of names in it called PlayerNameDropDownList_Insert and a textBox called PlayerName.
When I select a name from the dropdown it populates the textbox correctly.However, when the page opens the first name is selected in the dropdown but nothing in the textbox. How can I get the textbox to populate with the value of the dropdown at pageload?

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:
//lstClass.Items.Clear();
I have a text box placed inside a gridview(template) . I need to update its value by a dropdown list event (Selected Item Changed event) placed in the same gridVew. But The problem is that , I need to update the text box of the same row the dropdown list (whose textChange Event haas been fired)

View 10 RepliesI 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 5 Replieshow to handle html and scriptswhat . if I build my own CMS? Isn't it inevitable that I'll want to store html code, possibly scripts, and almost certainly apostrophes and special characters, and then display them again.
What's the best way to do this, since I wont want to display the encoded html, but the html itself.
Would it be to encode everything then when I want to actually display the html, decode it, but everywhere else, keep it encoded?
I'm just trying to think of all the scenario's that I could come across when I accept user input where I don't know what they could be typing in. What if I WANT the user to be able to display html? Is it possible to decode only some tags but leave all other tags encoded?
