ASP.NET GridView DropDownList Posts Empty Value
Feb 23, 2012
I'm having trouble with a DropDownList within a GridView that posts a NULL value when in fact a value is selected from the list when using inline editing.
The problem is that I can't use this method to bind the value to the UpdateCommand in my SqlDataSource:
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("Value") %>'
The reason for this is because the value might not exist in the list so it throws an exception.
Is there a way I can bind the value to the UpdateCommand without using SelectedValue?

I'm building a data entry interface and have successfully bound the columns that have reference tables for their data using DropDownList so the user selects from the pre-configured values.
My problem now is that I don't want the first value to be selected by default, I need to force the user to select a value from the list to avoid errors where they didn't pick that field and by default a value was assigned.
Is there a more elegant way of doing this than to add code to include an empty value at the top of the list after I get it from the database and before i pass it to the SelectList constructor in my controller class?

I'm having some trouble getting the results of the drop-downs in a gridview, and haven't found any helpful articles for VB code.
What I'm trying to do is build a site for tests. So far I have the gridview built w/the extra column for a drop-down list where the true/false answer will be selected. When the test is completed, there is a submit button. All is well except I need to be able to get the results of each drop-down list on post-back to a variable or array (each test contains 10 questions) so the results can be checked/graded. When the results are determined I would like to display a label in it's place and change the text value accordingly (correct or incorrect), so I'll need to be able to enumerate these as well (i.e. label1.text="Correct!", label2.text="Incorrect!", etc...).
Code so far.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#3366CC"
BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="1">[code].......
The preceding code loads 10 rows, 2 columns (column1:Question | column2-[DropDownLists]:Answer). I'm a freshman when it comes to development, so if you need additional info let me know.

Here is my code:
Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ddlContracts.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim ds As New DataSet

I have a list of items in a GridView, with one column I'd like editable through a DropDownList.
I do not wish to put the GridView into 'edit' mode or have any 'confirm/update/save' buttons.. I just want autopostback on the DDL, and an OnSelectedIndexChangedevent to update the row.
Problem is, from my OnSelectedIndexChangedevent within the DDL, although I can see the new value to save, I can't discover the row to update from the GridView.
how I can achieve what I wish? Other than perhaps storing the row id within the DDL? Maybe turn it around so the GridView's events are called?

I need to create a gridview which fills its column with data from an excel sheet and for each column in the gridview, the header should contain a drop down list with listitems like telephone, name, price which the user will select and set as the header for the particular column. I imported data into gridview but I am not able to create a drop down list in the gridview. If I try to create a dropdownlist in the designer page, it is just creating the dropdownlist in the gridview header but not populating the data. So How can I create a dropdownlist in the header of the gridview while populating its column data from excel sheet.
The code I used to populate data into gridview is
Dim con As String = ""
Select Case Extension
Case ".xls"
'Excel 97-03

i am working in a project and what i want to do is to have a search drop down list and text box. Lets say i have a gridview with all my results from database. In gridview i can see Name, Surname, country, phone number. From the drop down list i want to select the column in which i want to make my search. For example, from 3 choices(name, surname or country) i will select country. Then i have to type a country name in text box and the search engine will make the search for the country column. For example if i will type "U.K" in text box as a result i want all the people(name,surname,country) WHERE COUNTRY = U.K.

Firstly i'm not asking for the exact code here but the below is what i'm trying to do:I have a gridview with DropDownList and CheckBox and I have a button outside the gridview that will add a new row within the gridview.I have no problems with the adding row but I have a problem with saving the state of the checkbox/drop down list.Everytime I checked the checkbox and add a new row, all the DDL/CB will be reset.So how can I do it so that when I add a new row, the checkbox that I've checked before will still remain check.

Error is ddlgvRooms' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.Parameter name: value
I read a lot of people having issues with this particular problem but non of the fixes have worked for my case.I have tried a few different things such as setting appenddatabounditems="true" also tried to set in the itemcollection a default null value.Most of the forums post on this that I read were from a couple years ago im hoping they fixed this bug already and I am just overlooking something.I am trying to get my cascading dropdownlist to work in a gridview edittemplate fields. I created these in my detailsview on insert everything works great.
MySetup Basically I have a webmethod that has 2 functions getRooms and getJacks that are supposed to grab the data from the 2 datasets that I have created.The Datasets get their data from a couple of SQLSTOREDPROCEDURES.My aspx page dropdownlist and AjaxCDDL looks like this
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlgvRooms" runat="server"
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("intRoom") %>'>

I would like to show different values in a dropdownlist, while editing a gridview, depending on which user is logged in. For example...
The officer would see "Approved by Officer" status.
The director would see "Approved by Director" status
I am trying to add these programatically to a dropdownlist which I have in the edit template of my gridview (approvalsGrid). Here is my code:
Protected Sub ApprovalsGrid_RowUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewUpdateEventArgs) Handles ApprovalsGrid.RowUpdating
Dim ApprovalEditDD As DropDownList = CType(ApprovalsGrid.Rows(ApprovalsGrid.EditIndex).FindControl("ApprovalEdit"), DropDownList)
[code]....
I do not get any errors. But get an empty dropdown with no items. Am I using the correct event?

Error Dropdownlist has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value I have been banging my head over this error for about a week now. I have searched posted on other forums and still no solution to my issue. I have seen the FindControl being suggested but do not know how to implement this.
Basically I have 2 webmethods that reference 2 datasets which then populate my ajax cascading dropdownlist. In insertmode they work great however in editmode i get the above error.I have removed the selectedvalue and added
DataSource='<%# Bind("intRoom") which works sort of except for the fact that when you click edit it does not retain the original value of that particular record. Other things i have tried are as following:adding the items to the itemcollection of the dropdownlist turning appenddataitems to true on also tried to use the findcontrol but dont understand that punching my monitor and slamming my keyboard
Now I know i could get this to work by using a sqldatasource with some t-sql to get my dropdownlist to work however I thought by reusing my webmethods my code would be more professional. So if there is anyone out there that can help me understand why the value for my dropdownlist is not being populated or does not exist during gridview editing Also will post code if asked not sure what you would like to see rather than posting everything.

I have a GridView on an ASP.NET page that I'm trying to bind to an object data source that I've set up to map to a vb object I made which accesses the DB. When I run the page, though, the gridview comes up empty.
The ObjectDataSource is definitely returning data. The paging parameters are making it to the underlying object. All the way until I get to the DataBind() call everything seems fine. But the grid comes up empty. Funny thing is, if I use the method that returns all records in the DB, the grid populates just fine. Only when I try to implement custom paging does display no records. I've tried using the wizards, I've tried diagrammatically setting it up and run time. No matter what I do I can't get paged data to display in the grid.
oDatasource = New ObjectDataSource()
oDatasource.EnablePaging = True
oDatasource.TypeName = "tblMessage"
oDatasource.SelectMethod = "GetTblMessageSubset"

If GridView1.Rows.Count = 0 Then

However; it seems to be working backwards and showing the message when there is data to display in the gird view and continues to be a blank page when there is not data to display in the grid view.
I've tried a variety of combinations with the below IF statement below but no success.

I am trying to bind XML data into a gridview, after clicking the 'ButtonSaveToDataBase' button, the method will begin to read data from my gridview and load it into an array of my serializable class type and after that serialize it and finally store it into a XML type field in my SQL. The problem is When I call BindData() at the end of the serialization, it reads the XML from my database and successfully binded it but my gridview displays an empty row below my datas like this:

I am using the xmldocument (loadxml) and xmlPathNavigator to parse xml files I am compiling through a incoming stream. The first point of processing the files is to split the file into the different entries and add those to a list. I do this using either xmlPathNavigator or string.split if either one fails.At times both will fail because of some issue in the xml and would still like to salvage the file contents without having to fix the xml. I tried to use regex parsing but its not producing the content as I would like. I use the following code but in the end I do not get all the contents of the entry, only those between some of the tags.

I've seen a lot of posts over time relating to importing and exporting CSV. Most of the answers involve using TextReader.readline and String.split, which will not work with any but the simplest data. When you are writing for users who have the expectation that your application will work with anything they export from Excel, you will have to cover all the CSV bases.
I hope that this post will give you a clear idea of what you're involving yourself in when you decide you need to read a CSV file. The characteristics of CSV data are:The comma character is used to separate the fields. (This is obvious, but I thought I'd start with a couple of obvious points to warm up) The last field on the line is ended by the end-of-line character or the physical end of the file.Any field that contains commas, double-quotes or control characters will be surrounded by double-quote marks. Any double-quote marks within the field will be "escaped" with an extra double-quote character. For instance, the value Paul "Chuck" Norris would be converted to "Paul ""Chuck"" Norris".After the opening double-quote ANY character is valid. Including line breaks. This is why you can't use readline.I have a parser class that works nicely and I'll post that on this thread in a little while, along with some notes on using it.

Ultimately, what I would like to do is upload files directly into the database, so I updated this question with the code I'm using to write to the database. I am developing a module in DotNetNuke using Telerik controls. I need to upload files to the server in the user interface, so I am using the RadUpload control and the RadProgressArea/RadProgressManager.
Here is my ASP:
<telerik:RadUpload ID="RadUpload1" runat="server" ControlObjectsVisibility="CheckBoxes, RemoveButtons, ClearButtons"
AllowedFileExtensions=".doc,.docx,.pdf,.tiff,.gif,.jpg,.jpeg,.xls,.xlsx" MaxFileInputsCount="2"
MaxFileSize="10000000" InitialFileInputsCount="2">
</telerik:RadUpload>
[Code]...
When I hit the button, it does a postback to the page, but the files do not get uploaded. I tried using the autoupload functions and specifying pysical and virtual paths but that didn't work. I did it exactly like they said. I manually registered the controls in my web.config, then removed them and used the auto-register feature to re-register thinking maybe I did something wrong, but I'm still at a loss.
Here's where I spent the last couple hours:
[Upload Overview][3]
[Files are not uploaded][4]
get this upload control and progress indicator working?
