Add Empty Value To A DropDownList In ASP.net MVC
Jun 2, 2009
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 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 have a window having 2 dropdowmlists(schemename-SN and propertyno-PN) , one chkbox ,one "VIEW" button.SN has options "all" with value=0 and many other options with respctive values.Now,i want the code should behaves as follows:
1.0n window onload, SN must b visible bt PN nt.
2.if i select SN other thn All...the PN shud b visible and if i select "All" ,PN hides.
3.when check box is checked- PN hides,and if it is unchecked- PN visible..
Important:-This whole ddl n chk box are in updatable panel,button is nt in that.I want a browser compatible code so javascript can't b used directly(cz they give problem in mozzila and chrome).Right now, i have done this JavaScript and its is working fine.
function window.onload()
{
DisableProperty();
}
[code]....
but this code is not browser compatible.here onload,onkeyup and onclick functions are used , but they dont work in other browsers except internet explorer.

I have found a couple of examples on the internet to do this but really struggling to get it working in VB. (Tried a converter but had mixed results) I need the selection options of a Dropdownlist to be populated based upon the differing values in the first dropdown list.
Can anyone help with a releativley simple example in VB? Not fussed if the values are "hard coded" in the script. Or a SQL bit that pulls the data from a table

I have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable

This must've have been asked before but I couldn't locate it. In a mixed code project (VB and C#) we were debugging some old Visual Basic code where a statement as follows could be found:
If Request.Params("xxx") <> "" Then
'do something
I considered this a bug as Request.Params could be null, in which case the statement would've become false which wasn't the idea. So I thought. I just found out, -- probably for the tenth time and I will keep forgetting -- that the following two statements are not equal, while Nothing in VB should be equal to null in C# (thought I):
if(String.Empty == null) // always false
If String.Empty = Nothing Then ' always true
Should I dismiss this as a typical Microsoft backward compatibility effort, or should I consider this a huge error in the VB.NET compiler? Does anybody know the Microsoftean opinion on this oddity?

I have a VB.Net Windows app that has a form with a ComboBox. It's dropdown style is set to "DropDownList". When I retrieve a record from the DB, I'm trying to assign a value to the "Text" Property of the ComboBox but it's not taking it. I've tried using the "SelectedText", "SelectedItem" properties and they're not working either.

I'm having the hardest time figuring out something that must be easy. I'm using VB 2005, created a new Web Project and on one of my pages, I have a Dropdownlist Control. Around 10 things or so get put into it at run from a SQL Database. I have that part working just fine. My problem is that once someone makes their choice, how do I assign their choice to some variable. I don't want to update the database, I just want to assign it to a variable to be used somewhere else in the program. I have tried a number of different lines of code that are similiar to

I am using ASP.NET with VB.NET as background code. I have 8 ImageMaps in my webform Estimator.aspx.Each ImageMap represents a car part (Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, Mirror, Hood, Sunroof, DoorShell, Headlights, Tail lights) and I have a dropdownlist ddlChosenParts. When the user clicks on any of the 8 ImageMaps, I add the PostBackValue to the dropdownlist ddlChosenParts.The problem is that if the user clicks on the same ImageMap twice, the PostBackValue is added twice.I want to check if ddlChosenParts contains the ImageMap's PostBackValue and if it already contains it, do not add it again. That means that if the user clicks more than once on the same ImageMap, it's PostBackValue is only added once in ddlChosenParts.I have this code but i'm getting an error: Value of Type String cannot be converted to ListItem.
