using dropdown list value in a URL - asp.net

I have a page that the user chooses a date range, a name, and a Form type (A, B, E, T). On the basis of that, I populate a grid with the results and hyperlink a report number. When the user clicks the report number, a report is displayed. How can I insert the drop down list selected value into the URL to get the proper report based upon the report type the user chooses? If the user chooses Form A, the URL for SSRS should call the forma report from SSRS, and so on.

GridView will not display when button is clicked

I have an ASP.NET page I am writing in VB, and I am trying to only have the gridView show up when the button is clicked, and that it should display the product id, product name, supplier name, and quantity purchased for all products purchased by the customer (which comes from the drop down list). For some reason that I am unable to figure out, no matter what I do the gridView does not display. Ever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After setting the DataSource or DataSourceID property of the GridView you need to call DataBind() as a final step to bind your grid to the data.

Need a Gridview to Change when DropDownList changes

I have a dropdownlist in ASP.Net (I am using VB.Net) and my ASP.Net code follows. What I would like to do is have that Girdview populate dynamically off of the DropDownList. If the first option (showing nothing) is chosen, I would like everything possible in the Gridview to show. If one of the other options is chosen, I would like the GridView to filter based on that option. I can see the DropDownList, but nothing shows up in the Gridview. I imagine the issue has to do with binding the DropDownList to the Gridview somehow.
Thanks in advance.

You need to fix your FilterExpression and FilterParements in your SQLDataSource:
In your ASPX File you need to make the following changes:
FilterParameters: The items in this list will be used by the FilterExpression. If this is emtpy then your FilterExpression will have nothing to work with. However, you have ONE item in there, now you must link it to the FilterExpression with its index. Since you have ONE item then its index will be 0 (see filterexpression below). I assume its the [ScreenerID] so its probably an Int32? Then you need to specify that and set a defaultvalue:
<FilterParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="ScreenerID" ControlID="DropDownList2"
PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="Int32" DefaultValue="" />
</FilterParameters>
FilterExpression: The way you have it now is not correct because it is NOT linked with any real value say User-Interace (Dropdown) . You must link it based on its index/position in the FilterParameter items. Like we said above, since ScreenerID is the first item then it has index 0:
FilterExpression="ScreenerID = {0}"
DropDownList2: Since you already have AutoPostBack="True" you just need add event OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList2_SelectedIndexChanged"
If ScreenID is an integer, you need to remove the % from the value field in the ALL item like so: <asp:ListItem Value="" Text="ALL>
VB.NET Code-Behind: In your DropDownList2_SelectedIndexChanged event dont put any code in it. Like so:
Protected Sub DropDownList2_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DropDownList2.SelectedIndexChanged
'Leave empty
End Sub
Let me know if this is not working for you, I can update this answer as I find out more from you.

AjaxControlToolkit - GridView wont select - don't understand viewstate

Overview:
I have two text boxes at the top of this form for inputting a beginning/ending date.
In the middle of the form I have a gridview that is populated with rows based on those dates.
At the bottom of the form I have a report generated based on which row is selected in the grid.
I selected the BeginningDate and the EndingDate and the gridview becomes populated (working). When I click the "Select" button on a row in the grid something is happening that makes it break. The row isn't selected. I know this because the CSS thats usually applied (by default) to a selected row in the gridview is not applied.
Additionally in the code-behind I'm setting...
lblGridError.Text = gridJobsReport.SelectedIndex.ToString()
The page load even has the same code, so the label reads "-1" when the page loads but never changes when I click the select buttons on the gridview. Something is breaking my Async postbacks. I wish I understood viewstate better, I'm always suspicious of it being the culprit but honestly I have no idea.

I really don't understand why this worked, but I decided to try handling the dates manually with session variables and its working perfectly now. It doesn't matter if I mess with the session state on the update panels or any of the form elements it seems to work no matter what now.
I guess that after the initial asyncpostback the sqldatasource wasn't reading the values in the textboxes, or something. If anyone can explain what was going on in another "Answer Question" section I'll accept it.
If Page.IsPostBack Then
Session("sBeginningDate") = txtBeginningDate.Text
Sessoin("sEndingDate") = txtEndingDate.Text
txtBeginningDate.Text = Session("sBeginningdate")
txtEndingDate.Text = Session("sEndingDate")
Else
Session("sBeginningDate") = Now().AddDays(-14)
Session("sEndingDate") = Now()
txtBeginningDate.Text = Session("sBeginningDate").ToShortDateString
txtEndingDate.Text = Session("sEndingDate").ToShortDateString
End If

ASP.Net SQLDataSource Filter - Input string was not in a correct format

I have a ASP.Net web page with a grid view. I want to filter the grid view data based on the selection of a drop down list. I have this working fine on another page. The difference on the problem page is that the column I need to filter against is an int rather than a varchar. When I load the page I get the error message: Input string was not in a correct format.
I have pasted code for the dropdownlist and datasource below. This must be a common requirement so I guess I'm missing something obvious...? On attempting to find a resolution via Google, other have the same problem. A post on very similar lines can be found at http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t123088-problem-in-filterparameters.html, unfortunately Gavin's resolution didn't work for me.
Many thanks,
Rob.

You pass a value that is not Int32.
<asp:ListItem Text="All" Value="%"></asp:ListItem>
Remove this line and its going to work. For show them all you need to find an other way...
