Forms Data Controls :: Create Drop Down List From Datagrid
Apr 8, 2010
How would I re-code the datagrid below so it displays as a drop down list? The data I want to display in the drop down list is ID="dgvFitters".Also, is it possible to display the data in a datagrid and in a drop down list simultaneously?
I am in the process of creating a "news system", you can add, edit and delete news. The news items can be entered into the SQL database and you select a category where you want the news item to go into.
What I want is when someone comes to the "Edit" screen, they have a drop down list and what that does is allows you to select a category for you to edit news items from, so rather than at present having the "Edit" page display all the news items, I want people to be able to choose a category that they can edit news items in.
So far my edit page has a datagrid with the following code:
is there a way of creating a drop down list from the datagrid code below i.e. draw the data from ID="dgvfitters" to create a drop down, which is generated from the database? What would I need to do with the code and how would I implement it? The code is as follows:
I have drop down list box that I would like to show two columns, is this possible? Or can it be done with a list box?The query correctly retrieves all of the table data to be displayed, one colum is an abbreviation, the other a bit longer description.
All my current functionalities are in .net datagrid. I have to include a new feature like drag and drop any row inside the datagrid to change the order of the row.
But, it should happen in client, during save the new order should save in the database.
I had called the data from query to data table and now i have a gridview in which i am using one datalist and 2 text boxes and and reming coloumns are bounded iahve to assiaign them values which datatable have either null or any value.
What I am looking to do is have a page with 2 seperate datagrids on, I want to be able to add the selected rows from DataGrid1 into DataGrid 2 either with a button click or using drag and drop functionality (Im guessing this would require javascript and I have no experience with this language, is it difficult to learn or could I just alter code from elsewhere?). Once the row is added into DataGrid2 I would like to be able to add some information, such as Quantity and DateDue (could this be added in a pop up box when the part is added?) Also I would like fields in DataGrid1 to be based upon a search with several different options that the user specifies, i.e the ability to search based on project number, however it would return eitheer parts or assemblies depending on a check box selected. I have very limited programming knowledge but Im guessing I would be able produce a query based on the inputs, but in order for this to work wouldnt the page to postback everytime an option was changed.
I have a query give me two column and several rows say 20.
The first column i want to bind with dropdown list and second to textbox.
i would like to dynamically create dropdown list as well as textbox as i do not know how many rows i will get it every time.
My select query is like this -
"select subcatid,categoryname from category where catid=10"
That give me say 12 rows with two columns,i want to select the subcatid and bind it with dropdown list and categoryname to textbox that can be edited by user.
when i am using dropdownlistin asp.net when i amselect the value from the list it cannot that the selected value but it can take only the first value of list.
I have a gridview with a drop down list. When I do the update I try to get the value from the drop down list, but I get an error saying that the drop down list control 'ddlType' can't be found.
In this code you can see the select statement that the customers are selected for display to the user. Order by is at least being used to disply in name order. but this example here is one of several similar dropdowns. I would like that if they picked one customer then the next view show should be the same customer
< order by customername " asp:SqlDataSource ID="Customers" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:SecurityDB_20101025ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Customers] WHERE ([CustomerId] = ISNULL(@CustomerId, '') OR @IsSuperAdmin = 1 ) > [code]...
I'm using vs2008 and add a dropdown list in my page. Default value of this control is "Digital". When I select another value from the list and press a button, next time the page displaying the same value, i.e Digital, not the selected value. I just want to show the selected value on the page.
I added 3 values on DropDownList controls. ID= DropDownList1. If a user selects a value from the DropDownList, I'd like to insert the value on my DB (DB = Test) and in Column (Column = LastName). Below is the code I get when I double click on the DropDownList.
Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged End Sub
I have a ListView that contains a lot of editable items. Every item has some values, like; item name, item price, item size and so forth. I would like to add another editable column which should be a drop down list. This should list which sizes the item is available at, like S, M, L, XL. Some item are only available in S and M, while other items may just have a standard size (meaning none of the above sizes). So for example if you are to add an item called polo shirt and its only available in sizes L and XL then you should be able to do that. And then at the front-end where the users surf the items it should be like that when a users sees this Polo shirt he should be presented with a drop down list where he is only able to select L and XL
I can't figure out how to implement this in the Listview and the database. I have mentioned that I want a drop down list to appear in the back-end, this is not a necessity, anything will do as long as the front-end is showing a drop down list with the choosen sizes.
what the problem is that i want to populate drop down list manually
but the thing is i have 3 drop down lists
in first one user will select table name from where the data of 2nd Drop Down list will come
suppose user selected seo then the sql query would be select project_name from dropdownlist1.selecteditem
and this query will show project_name column of seo table in dropdownlist2
then user will select any project name from dropdownlist2 suppose he select salveo so i want that my text box will get populate with project_id of project_name
suppose the project_id of salveo is 123 then automatically in textbox it will enter 123
In a two column table I have a datalist pulling questions from a sql table in one and a dropdown list showing options for people to choose in the other.It all works well.The issue I have is with the formatting, since some questions span two lines, the dropdown list does not match the questions all the time. How can I make sure the dropdown list matchs the questions?I have valign=top on both cells.Do I need to reformat the datalist? I tried putting a dropdown list in a datalist cell, but that did not work.
how to databind a drop down list on my DetailsView. What I want to do, is when the details view loads the drop down list it contains the current value of the record selected from my GridView, but the user is then able to select a new value. I know how to databind a drop down list in any other scenario but I just couldn't get this to work.
I have a drop down list that has the initials of about 12 of our sales guys.How can I make it so that when they select their initials from the list, the next drop down list only shows their customers.In my database there is a column for customer name and salesman.
I have a FormView which is used to insert a record into a database. Outside of this formview i have a drop down list, I want to grab the value from that drop down list and set one of the text fields within the formview to it's currently selected value. I've tried the following code, but the dynamic categorytextbox line is what seems to not be working.
how do i use the dropdownlist in the Gridview.here is my requirement: i want to place one Drop down list in Grid view,when ever Gridview loads that dropdown must be fill.
I wrote the following code in ItemDataBound Event of the DataList
[Code]....
I have got two questions:
1) If I have already given the data type to d as DropDownList, why do we need to typecast it again to e.Item.FindControl("dd1"). Is it because it will typecast this to the data type of the selected item in Drop Down list?
2) Why do we need to write this in Item Data Bound Event of the DataList?
