I have a textbox that returns 1 or sometimes more rows.....what I would like to do is basically use that textbox to populate my dropdownlist..See sample data
ID Colour
A red
A white
B blue
So for example...if the user types in A in the textbox
The dropdownlist should be populated with red and white
and if the user types in B, the dropdownlist should populate with just blue
I have a DDL and ASP.NET Textbox. I would like to populate the text box with the option I choose from the DDL. I need this to be instant and not use postbacks so it would seem JavaScript would be the obvious choice here. I have done quite a bit of searching but everything I have found seems to be for standard HTML (Selects and Inputs) and these do not appear to work with ASP objects:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="DDLSalesPerson" DataValueField="keyid" DataTextField="FullName" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="txtSalesPerson" />
My DDL is populated from SQL in the code-behind page.
I've been trying to find a solution to my problem for about 2 days now, and have found nothing. I am new to .net and not really sure how to accomplish this. I have 4 tables in a database, Vendors, RepairCos, Cons, ConRepairHistory. What I'm trying to do is make a page called SendOutForRepair.aspx that has a insert item template where the first control is a dropdownlist that is attached to the Cons table (got this figured out) and is populated with the Serial Number field. I would like the selection from the dropdownlist to populate the 2nd control (VendorID) that is also from the Cons table.
example record from Cons Table: Serial number VendorID
508585 1
so when 508585 is selected in the dropdownlist, it would populate VendorID with 1 (this is my issue)once this happens, the user would fill in the other fields (hours, issue, repairco (also a dropdownlist linked to RepairCos table), RA Number, DCI, DPU, DRB, Cost, Record (which is a identity field and primary key for table) and when the insert link is pressed will insert all 11 fields as a new row in the ConsRepairHistory table. so the new record in the ConsRepairHistory table would look like:
Serial Number VendorID Hours Issue RepairCoID RA Number DCI DPU DRB Cost Record
508585 1 2250 alarming 2 20222 11/16/2010 11/17/2010 null null 3
the RA Number, DCI, DPU, DRB, Cost all allow null values.
I am working on a project where the customer has a large database of products, they want to select the product by the id number and I thought it best that the description also show up. What I have is a dropdownlist that is linked to the id number in the database table and that works just fine. My problem comes when populating the corresponding description from the table into either a textbox or label(doesn't matter which one I use) I can accomplish this without ajax just fine but we would like to reduce the postbacks to the server. I have never used ajax before Here is my code from the aspx file.

View 1 RepliesI would like the user to select an item from a drop down list. Next to the drop down is a textbox or label control. From the ddl selection I would like to populate the textbox or label from a database with a corresponding field from the database the dropdownlist was populated from. On selectindexchange event I can populate the textbox with the Unique id from the value, but I need to input a different field into the textbox. Can I use some sort of variable to assign the Textbox.Text = ?

View 9 RepliesI am trying to develop a simple MVC 2 timesheet application for my small business. I have a sort of mock model for now until I have a database in place, just to make things simpler while I develop the functionality.

But then I need to populate a second dropdownlist (taskDropDownList for the tasks associated with a particular customer) based on the selection the user chooses in the customer dropdownlist. But how do I do this exactly? I have seen examples with jQuery, but I'm not sure how to apply them to this situation. Also, the examples seem to just populate the lists with string values. I need to be able to access the objects with all their properties. Because the next thing I need to do is to be able to populate the TimeSegments list of the selected task with values from input fields (i.e. the hours worked for particular dates). And for that to be saved to the "model" (eventually to the database) in the controller, how do I get it there, unless the objects are all part of the same model bound to the View? I'm on rather thin ice with this since I still find the connection between the View and the Controller hard to handle, compared with e.g. Windows development, where these things are rather easy to do.
I have a WebDataGrid linked to a SqlDataSource to display data. When a row is selected, I want to populate some textboxes and dropdownlists with the data from that row, for editing purposes. The textboxes work fine; I use the following code to select the second field in the grid (Date) and populate the corresponding textbox (I'm using VB): txtDate.Text = currentRow.Items(2).Value However, when I try to populate the dropdownlists using the same code structure, I get the following error:
'ddlType' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.
I think the problem may be that the dropdownlists are populated using type_id, while the grid displays type_name. Would this be causing the problem, and is there a way to get around this?
I have a very long list of items for a dropdownlist. As the list is very long, I would like to only show the items in the list if the user actually clicks on the dropdownlist to expand it. I found various tutorials on how to use AJAX with cascading dropdownlists but none explaining if it is possible to have just one dropdownlist which gets populated with AJAX when the user expands it. Are there any extenders coming with the AJAX toolkit that I missed? What would be the best way of achieving this?

View 3 RepliesI'm running into a minor issue with some ASP.Net code I'm working on. For simplicity sake lets say I have two dropdownlists, one that is full of various items and another that is full of other items, but based off the selected item of the first dropdownlist. I currently set variables into hidden inputs to check to see if the item in the first dropdownlist has changed and if it has to change the second dropdownlist, but I'm also having to check to make sure that if something else causes a postback to NOT repopulate the second dropdownlist as to not lose what is currently selected by the user. This check also allows me to make sure that when I navigate away from the page, the correct values are selected and not something replaced by a postback repopulation.
I'm new to ASP.Net/HTML/CSS/Javascript and the like. I know while what I have works, it isn't even close to being the correct way to do things. correct my ways and figure out the BEST way to solve this current problem. Some good ASP.Net tutorial websites would be nice too as I need to keep improving my skills with it.
write a Subroutine that takes a parameter value of a Folder name on the server, then looks for all subdirectories beneath it and puts this hierarchy into a DropDownList?
So far I can't get the sub to work as it stuggles with the path structure and the obvious requirement to call itself.
I need a very simple example of code to populate a DropDownList using Entity Framework 4.
At the moment I use this code:
using (TestHierarchyEntities context = new TestHierarchyEntities())
{
uxSelectNodeDestinationDisplayer.DataSource = context.CmsCategories.ToList();
uxSelectNodeDestinationDisplayer.DataBind();
}
How would I setup a dropdownlist to check the dates in the database and populate it based on the years of the dates currently in the database? So if some dates were from 2010 and some where from 2011, it would display a dropdownlist with two options in it...2010, 2011.
I have dates listed in my database for a schedule system and would like to add a dropdownlist so I can only list the dates for the current year by default, then a user has to select a date from the dropdownlist to see any dates from a different year. Otherwise, it just shows all dates, regardless of year...
what is wrong with this code ? It failed to give value to label1
Label1.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString
