Im using Visual Studio 2008 (ASP.net) to build some web pages..
I have a DropDownList linked to a DataSource from data base to fill it automaticly, and it works perfect, but I want to modify the items before its displayed ?
I am using VB.Net 2010, and when I run the following code, I get System.Data.DataViewManagerListItemTypeDescriptor displaying in the dropdownlist box
cmbProdType.DataSource = ds
cmbProdType.DisplayMember = "ProductType"
cmbProdType.ValueMember = "ProductCode"
When I hover over the datasource, I can see the correct records. But its not displaying in the dropdownlist control.
Im trying to do bind a dropdown list to a details view but keep getting an error about the dropdown list ID field:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Approval">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="Approved" runat="server" DataValueField="Approved" SelectedValue='<%#Bind("Approved") %>'>
<asp:ListItem Text="Approved" Value="Approved" />
[code]....
The error message as follows:
'Approved' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.Parameter name: value
What is the proper way to attach the value of the dropdownlist to my object so that it can be properly created in the database? Most of my searches keep telling me how to bind a dropdownlist to an object data source, but that is not what I need to do. This is a basic drop down list of 2 items that will never change.
my homework question is to display the selected items from a listbox (multi-extended) in a label. I need to display all the selected names in a label. the simplest most uncluttered way of doing this. This is what I've got but it doesn't work.

I'm designing a web page with two dropdownlists, one for the Make of a car, the other for the Model, both bound to a database with separate SQLDataSources, and using a distinct statement. I add "All" at the top of both by setting appendDataBoundItems = true and adding items named all. Then when I fill the Make with a querystring all the model items get added twice (but only the databound items).
Here's my code:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownMake" runat="server"
DataSourceID="SqlMakes" DataTextField="Make" DataValueField="Make"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" EnableViewState="False" AutoPostBack="True">

I am trying to grab all unique items from a DropDownList. Is there a simple way to do this?
View 5 RepliesI would like to disable a specific items from DropDownList. I have below code but it does not working. DropDownList have 5 items.And,I'm getting error:Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.Parameter name: index
Protected Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
Dim X As Integer = 0 <> 1
DropDownList1.Items(X).Enabled = False
End Sub
But, if I add a different value for X, then it disable 1st and 2nd item.
Protected Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
Dim X As Integer = 0 or 1
DropDownList1.Items(X).Enabled = False

My goal is if I would have a 365 items in DropwDownList to disable items for example between 120 and 150.
I have an Web application that retrieves some db info and send it out to an html table. All created on the fly in vb code behind. For every post (row) in the db I also fill puts an instance of a Dropdownlist with items read from the db. That means that for every row I read from the database I read the same db info into the Dropdownlist (see the skeleton example below). A lot of overhead I think. It must be possible to create the Dropdownlist once before the loop and copy from that instance in the loop.

i used the following technique to Select multiple items from DropDownList into TextBox with No duplicates, however i dont think it is the most proper way,
pressing again with same value selected choose another value from DDL and press button

I am trying to use datasource and bind in my application to set a dropdown list to the results of a query. The dropdownlist populates correctly (shows each different type_name in the set) but later when I use ddltype.selectedvalue - I am always getting the value from the first item in the dataset. Here is the code.

I have a dropdownlist with a list of options which is subject to change (e.g. 'active users'). Another data source may include historical data, but I wish to use the 'active users' dropdownlist against it. This means an ArgumentOutOfRangeException will be thrown so I want to catch that, and insert the required entry into the dropdownlist on the fly.
I've seen a few suggestions that point towards overriding the ondatabinding event within the dropdownlist, I've managed to do this insofar as I can create a static listitem for example "Value does not exist" and bypass the exception. However I wish rather than "Value does not exist" so show the actual value which we were attempting to find in the ddl.
ondatabinding is passed a standard EventArgs item which doesn't offer much to go on, I can see there is a DataListItemEventArgs class - is this in any way associated with a dropdownlist? I tried directcast on the EventArgs but that didn't work.
So is there any way - within ondatabinding - of finding out the value we're attempting to set on the dll, which causes the ArgumentOutOfRangeException?

I have a webForm app that registers a user in the database based on the information provided with a web service, auto-generates a random password and username, and e-mails the user a link to take an application based on the marketing company selected. How do I get only the currently logged in user's groups to show up under the MarketingCo_DropDownList. Each user allowed access to the system will have membership in at least one of the marketing groups as defined by the web.config. For example, a user that is currently logged in and belongs to the BIG group under location "algACOMP_user_BIG", will only be able to see BIG in the Marketing Company drop down list. A user that is currently logged in and belongs to the NIS group located under "algACOMP_user_NIS" will only be able to see NIS in the Marketing Company drop down list.
Here's my best guess (located under Private Sub GetMarketingCompanies() method in default.aspx.vb):
If InStr(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Groups = "AMG", item.MarketingCompanyShort = "AMG", CompareMethod.Text) Then
marketingCo.Items.Add(String.Format("{0} | {1}", item.MarketingCompanyShort, item.MarketingCompanyName))
For Each item In ac1

In my project when someone logs in I refresh the overhead and side menus. My overhead menu is an extended menustrip component that I have made. I am able to clear the menu, reload it dynamically but I am not able to add/insert the open windows which are managed by the mdiwindowlistitem property. These are the items named "1 - form name " "2 - form name" etc.
I have been able to copy the whole dropdown list, and with some very hacky loop work I can take out everything but the items related to the forms. But when I add them back in, they are not on my list. The related forms are still open and if you click the maximize button to shrink a open child window, and then re-maximize that same window...the items magically show up in the list.
This ManageMenus sub is called during a login change. If you breakpoint on "openwindowslist" after it is returned with data, it has the proper entries and nothing extra. It just seems that the for/each add loop does not actually add the items. Or, if it does add them, I can't see them.
Tried both insert and add functions, same results both ways.
CODE:
In my xmlMenuStrip component this is the function that removes everything but what follows the seperator. It returns them in a list.
The format of the full window menu is:

How to query a record in vb.net using combo or textbox via linq to sql like the search engine? Just like when you search in google or youtube, once you typed in the initial string on the textbox or combo box it will show a drop-down list. I tried to use it in my application using linq method but the problem is it would duplicate on the first string that you entered on the dropdownlist if that record exist on your database after you press the space key. I used the code below which duplicates the records on the drop-down list when you type in your string after the space key.
I just want it to be like in any search engine that when you type in the string or your initial string, it will display on the drop-down list all the records from the database that contains the string you entered without duplication. In my case, I'm trying to query a name from my database. This is how it should work, For example, if you type an initial string in the textbox or combo box a named 'Mark', it should display all the names from the database containing 'Mark' into the drop-down list before it changes into its final string that you entered.
Here is the codes I used:
Private Sub ComboBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
ComboBox1.TextChanged
Dim db As New MultipleDatabaseOperationDataContext
Dim search As String
search = ComboBox1.Text

VS2008 targeting .Net 3.5x. I have a combobox with a datasource and display member set, and when I run the project, I see the items. I am also binding the selected item to another object which contains the item upon which I want to select. I have verified that both the bound object and its underlying data contain the value I expect. The problem is that I cannot get it to select the correct item - it only ever selects the first item in the list.

In FillDataGrid() is where I'm doing he binding - datagridview1.datasource = BindingSource1 - and adjusting the columns size, row colors, etc. What is happening is the following: the last item added to BetsL is being repeated in the datagridview, the other items doesn't appear. If I have 4 items to display on it, it only shows the last item repeated 8 times
Is it possible to add a DropDownList inside a calendar day for the asp.net Calendar control and then to bind it to a SelectedIndexChanged event? I can add the DropDownList inside the day I want, but I've been unable to bind it to the event. I've seen it done for a LinkButton inside a Calendar control, but nothing for a DropDownList.
