Populating Drop Down List From Another Thread In ASP.NET?
Feb 22, 2009
I have multiple drop down lists on a page. They all contain list of countries. So in the background I am getting countries from database and caching them. I would like to populate those drop down lists from another thread. I am also using AJAX controls so I wanted that it all happens at the same time. And also after a user selects a country I want that towns from that country show to the user, and I want that getting towns happens also in another thread so that user can fill other controls while the list is not yet loaded.
I have read somewhere that I should give Page as a parameter to that thread and then find that drop down lists and populate them. But that is not working.
Here is a function that is called when another thread starts:
protected void GetCountries(object o)
{
if (Session["Countries"] == null)
{
I have a few drop down lists that I'd like to populate from a table in an SQL database. I tried setting it in the DataBindings section of Properties but I guess that doesn't work.
Recently started working with VB.NET, and I'm just playing around with the controls and everything. What I want to do, is populate a drop-down list or a combobox (on program load) with data from a dictionary. I'm used to php, so I tried a for each dictionary.items as newitem combobox.items.add(newitem) but I can't get it working. Can someone give me an example of this? And what if i wanted only the key to show in the drop-down, and the corresponding value shown on a label besides it when I make a selection?
Does anyone know if it is possible to make a drop down list control (when clicked) list its contents above the item, rather than below? Effectively, I need a drop up list rather than a drop down list...
Is it possible to reorder the elements of a drop down list (combobox) via drag and drop?For example, when the list is dropped down, I want the user to be able to drag the items up or down to reorder them. I tried this (and some google searching) but I'm wondering if its just not possible:
Private Sub cmbClassLists_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles cmbClassLists.MouseDown If cmbClassLists.DroppedDown And Not cmbClassLists.SelectedIndex = -1 Then
I have a textbox control with a button then underneath of it a have a checkboxlist control and another button. Basically what I want to do is when a User enters something on the textbox and then press the Add button the text they enter gets added to the checkbox list. This I was able to do with no problems, The problems comes when I try to remove the selected Items on the checkbox list. I have the following code.
Protected Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click Dim myPhoneNumber As String = txtPhoneNumber.Text Dim myListOfPhoneNumbers As CheckBoxList = CType(chkPhoneNumbers, CheckBoxList)
I am working on making a Windows based application within Visual Basic 2008 Express that could potentially be used for a music school as a project. This application is connected and bound to a Microsoft Access database. Within this application I have a form for adding a new appointment reservation. This form has a combo box that the user can select the lesson type (eg. "I want a piano lesson"). Upon being changed, a list box would be populated with the names of all instructors that have that selection as either their primary or secondary talent.So, my database is bound, the query is written (correctly...i hope), and I don't know how to 1) select the table column that I want displayed in the list box and 2) actually display the query results within the list box. Is this making sense? Probably not, bu
Private Sub cmbLessonType_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmbLessonType.TextChanged 'populate the lboInstructor box
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient Public Class Form2 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim conn As MySqlConnection
[code]....
I can't quite figure out how to populate the dang list with that code, am I doing something wrong?
I want to poplate a checked list box based on a column from a datasource or standard listbox based on a selection from a combobox adding each item as I select it in the combo box.
Obviously populating direct from the data source would be best
I am building a form that will eventually list a group of functions on the left. If you drag a function onto the form, it will create a listbox and a label at the loction you dropped it to. If you drag a function into a listbox, it will add that function as a listbox item. I have this working kind of. The problem is that once I create a new listbox, I am no longer able to add items to the previous ones. Here is my code:
Public Class Form1 Private MouseIsDown As Boolean = False 'rivate Functionlist As ListBox
I am populating a combobox with a list of names that are coming from a database. I would like to get the names to show up in the combo box in alphabetical order. [code] There is also another combobox I'm populating with text from a database. (as below). However, in the database, in the column I'm reading data from, there are a few duplicate rows and then when the combobox is populated, the same text can be seen 2/3 times. What can I do or add to my existing code, that will ensure that there is no duplication shown in the combo box? [code]
I've gotten a listbox control to populate with a list of installed fonts, but I need to be able to click a button and remove the selected item from the listbox. How do I do this? Every time I try, an exception is thrown.
Here is the code:
Public Class Form1 Dim fonts as New Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
I'm quite new to Visual Basic - using Visual Studio 2008 and can't seem to find a way to do the following:
I have a few tables in a SQL Server database and have used LINQ to SQL to create classes of those tables.
Here's a cut down example of what I'd like:listbox1 filled with table names - APS, SMPS, WCPC, CFLAPS Then from the SelectedIndexChanged event, listbox2 should populate column headers of the selected table.
I have no issues getting data from the database, and can access all of these headers through the anonymous type objects created from a LINQ query (eg APS.ID, APS.count etc), but populating a listbox with these variable names rather than the data inside them seems rather elusive.
This is probably a cross platform coding question rather than VB specific, so if you have a solution in C# or whatever I'd be happy if you could let me know.
I have these objects:[code]Using LINQ I need to take a List(Of MakeInfo) and a List(Of ModelInfo) and aggregate the StockInfo from ModelInfo into the List(Of MakeInfo).So for each MakeInfo I will have a total count of all stock where MakeInfo.Name = ModelInfo.Make, and also a minimum price.I think it's going to be something like this, but I'm having trouble accessing the nested object and not sure if it's going to be possible with a single query.[code]
I am a newbie of using a vb.net. And I am eager to know everything around. I have a problem that seems hard to find for. I would like to retrieve data from database using drop down list, and select only the fields that i want to retrieve from it.
DesignationTable From my table i like to display only two in my drop down list
I am trying to compare a calculated date with a value in a dropdown list. The value is a date.toString.This is what I have so far:
Dim sched = scheduleDateVal.toString("d" If Holidays.Items.Contains(New ListItem(sched.ToString("d"))) Then ScheduleDate.Text = scheduleDateVal.AddDays(1).toString("d") End If
Holidays is a dropdown list bound to a database so that I can add a day to a scheduledate if it happens to fall on a holiday. This works if I add a string value to sched rather than converting scheduledateval to a string.
I'm creating a simulation programe. In one sheet I have a group of cells (AngleConf) that have a drop down list. I would like to make some operations when I change the value of one of these cells. It always works when I insert the new value manually. But it doesn't always works when I change it by selecting the value from the list. I supose that that happens because of some option that I change while I'm working but I can't find out witch one exactly.The code that I think that its implicated:
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If InRange(Target, Range("AngleConf")) Then Call resistance 'Actualiser le r�sultat mecanique
I'm trying to find a dropdown-style list for images I can use in a program of mine. It's fairly simple, just needs to display a few images in a grid with tooltips for each one, and I need to be able to get whichever one was last picked. For example,[URL] without the tab bar in it. Unfortunately my monetary budget is zero which means I can't purchase any controls?
This is turn populates my dropdownlist, when a user selects a value, it is then populated to the remaining textboxes on the remaining forms with a session call...
Through this session it populates the one value, is it possible to display the selected value but also include all other dropdownlist items in case they want to change thier selection?
I cannot get the value from the drop down list and I not sure what's wrong with the declaration and the code.
Dim selectedIntake As String = intakeDropDownList.SelectedItem.Text() Dim selectedSupervisor As String = supervisorDropDownList.SelectedItem.Text() .supervisor_ID = selectedSupervisor(0), _
[Code]....
This is the error message I get :
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_student_Details_lecturer_Details". The conflict occurred in database "SKTM-AAS", table "dbo.lecturer_Details", column 'supervisor_ID'. The statement has been terminated.
i have four price values in a drop down list and i need to code these values and add them to values from a checklist object i am doing very simple coding ?
Is using Public Property the best way to achieve the following.From a drop down combobox, a list of options are available. Each option in the combobox has a number of public properties that need to be associated with it.When a option is selected, the user will then have two buttons that each call a different sub, the appropriate options are passed to the sub.Each option will always have the same properties required to be passed.So I'm looking at something like this.
Public Class Parameters Public Property server As String Public Property replica As String Public Propery path As String End Class

I have created a drop-down list box that holds 8 numbers representing a month span (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 25 months). In order to prevent users from typing just anything into the text box above the combo box, I changed it to a drop-down listbox. The other requirement that I was hoping to implement was for the user to be able to type a number, after which the selection would jump to the appropriate item (i.e. the user types in '1', and the selection jumps to 12). This partially works. It will jump to 12, for example, but immediately after the user types the '1', the Selected Index event changes. The user cannot scroll down or up after typing in a number.
