Asp.net - Populate A GridView With A DropDownList Value?
Mar 5, 2012
I have created a connection string, and i am populating a dropdownlist with an ID from a sql database.I want to be able to click on a ID from the dropdownlist and run a query to populate a gridview with data. I have made the dropdownlist autopostback = Enabled. I am not getting an error.
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 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'm trying to write a program that selects an item (Area Code) from a combobox and this list gets the city that was associated with this area code (another comnbobox list)
I am new to Ajax and have a rough idea about Ajax. I am developing a website having a feedback page in which, i want to populate the state/city DropDownList box depending upon the value selected in country DropDownList box.
I have seen some examples downloaded online but they are not working in my application due to many possible reasons, some of them may be the feedback page in my application is a content page, the web application is asp.net 2.0 web application, i don't have any additional ajax tools or scripts installed.give me the solution that should work with asp.net 2.0 web application (in VB.NET) and the feedback page is a content page. I don't want to add custom controls. I want to do it straight away with javascript or vbscript using XMLHTTP object.
After everything is set right with Ajax. What if the browser doesn't support Ajax? What should i do in such case?
I'm using VWD 2010 and a SQL Explress 2008 remote database Within the IDE, I can populate a dropdownlist but after I deploy the website, I recieve this error:
System.IndexOutOfRangeException: There is no row at position 0. Line 52: cmdEmpSched.ExecuteReader() Line 53:
Have two dropdownlist inside the edit template of a DataList. The first dropdwon is for state while the second is for town. The state is populated from a table state while the second from a table town when state is selected.
May i have a working sample on how to retrieve records from a DB & populate the relevant textboxes after a selection at a dropdownlist. What i have is definitely not working & im working on VS 2008. Can anyone show me the way?
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...).
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.
I want to populate the dropdownlist ddVerantwortlich1 with the people with the proper credentials based on the selected process step ddProzesss chritt1.It doesn't work if I want to change it using datasource and databindi have to manually loop through the table in the dataset returned from the query. then it works. but not otherwise.[code]
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 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 have been looking for a solution to this for a while though and seen many posts that show me how to do it but yet I cannot get my SelectedIndex Changed event to fire when the DropDownList is changed.The DropDownList AutoPostBack is set to True,[code]
I have Gridview with Template Field.And I Put Dropdownlist at footer row of gridview. but when i insert the value from a database table in dropdownlist , than it generate error.
for filling value i declare variable like in databound event of gridview.
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.
Trying to get the findcontrol to work so I can set the default value of the dropdownlist I have in a template field, but I'm having no luck. Am I doing something wrong?
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.
i have problem for the drop down list in the grid view, it not fire the select index changed. I bind the data for the drop down list when the row databound. But when i select the data, it not fire the select index changed. Another drop down list which hard code the item list fired the select index changed. Below is the code behind and the front end code.
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
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 want to populate a checkbox field in a gridview.
I am using the Checked='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Inactive")) %>' statement but the issue that I am facing is that in the database some records contain NULL for Inactive. If it encounters a 0 or 1 value it works fine but if NULL it throws an exception.
Kindly guide me how to populate the checkbox so that it should be unchecked even if the field is null.
I'd like to have a backgroundworker process data that will eventually populate a gridview in my windows form. I need to use a backgroundworker because the process takes a little while, normally causing the program to slow/freeze until it's opening and streaming connections.. So, I'm using a background worker to perform these methods.How can I take the data from the background worker (on a separate thread than the UI) and use it to populate controls in the UI?
It has been so long since I have coded a page in VB. For the life of me I just cannot remember how to do this. I have a GridView on an ASP page. Each row has a comment ImageButton. I already have the gridview and text box wrapped in a UpdatePanel. The gridview shows all of the correct information. I just need to add some code to populate the text box with the comment when a user clicks on that row's ImageButton.
The comments are stored in SQL 2005 DB if that makes a difference. Should I shove the comments inside a hidden field of the gridview or is there a function that will allow me to query the db for that specific comment. End goal would be to not refresh the page if possible.
If I used a generic list Class to hold data objects that I am pulling from SQL Server using Linq to sql to populate a datagridview would I need to make any modifications to the datagridview control to accomodate multiple columns or would I need to make any modifications to the generic list class to accomodate the multiple columns in a row that is typical of a record in SQL Server? And one more thing which I believe is the easy part. To bind the list to a datagrid view would I just use the datasource property of the datagridview control.
