I'm trying to put a searchbox, a dropdownlist and lostbox control on my asp master page. Once a value is selected from the dropdownlist, the value passed to listbox;once some word is typed into the searchbox and enter is hit, the closest value is passed to the listbox.
My asp code for the control is below:
searchbox:
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ToolTip="Enter Company" Width="120px">
dropdownlist:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownListCI" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3" DataTextField="company" DataValueField="id" AppendDataBoundItems="true" AutoPostBack="True" width="160px">
<asp:ListItem Text="--Select One--" Value="" Selected="True" /> </asp:DropDownList>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource3" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="select company, id from table1 order by company">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
listbox:
<asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat="server" DataTextField="company" DataValueField="id" Rows="1" Width="160px">
<asp:ListItem Text="--Null--" Value="" selected="true" />
</asp:ListBox>
data source from the searchbox is:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceSE" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="select company, id from table1 where company like '%'+ #Company + '%'">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="TextBox1" Name="Company" PropertyName="Text" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
datasource from dropdownlist is
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="select company, id from table1 where id=#id">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownListCI" Name="ID" PropertyName="selectedvalue" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
and my vb code is below:
--Store session variable
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim SelectionCI As String = Nothing
Dim SelectionSE As String = Nothing
If Not DropDownListCI.Text Is Nothing Then SelectionCI = DropDownListCI.Text
Session("SelectedCI") = SelectionCI
If Not TextBox1.Text Is Nothing Then SelectionSE = TextBox1.Text
Session("SelectedSE") = SelectionSE
End Sub
--page load
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
If Not Session("SelectedCI") Is Nothing Then DropDownListCI.Text = Session("SelectedCI").ToString
If Not Session("SelectedSE") Is Nothing Then TextBox1.Text = Session("SelectedSE").ToString
End If
If Not DropDownListCI.Text = "" Then ListBox1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSource1.ID
If Not TextBox1.Text = "" Then ListBox1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSourceSE.ID
End Sub
-----on change
Protected Sub DropDownListCI_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles DropDownListCI.SelectedIndexChanged
If Not DropDownListCI.SelectedIndex = 0 Then
TextBox1.Text = ""
ListBox1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSource1.ID
Else : ListBox1.SelectedIndex = 0
End If
End Sub
Protected Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
If Not TextBox1.Text = "" Then
DropDownListCI.SelectedIndex = 0
ListBox1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSourceSE.ID
End If
End Sub
What I want to achieve is after I make a selection (say company A), when I refresh page, company A is still selected. Now it works well if company A is got through search box. But if I select company A from dropdownlist, then store the session variable, then refresh the page, it comes out company A is still selected in dropdownlist, but "--Null--" appears in listbox. I wonder what's the problem?
Thanks for any advice!
I finally realized that my page_load has a problem. The following is the correct page_load code
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
If Not Session("SelectedCI") Is Nothing And Session("SelectedCI") <> "" Then
DropDownListCI.Text = Session("SelectedCI").ToString
ListBox1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSource1.ID
ElseIf Not Session("SelectedSE") Is Nothing And Session("SelectedSE") <> "" Then
TextBox1.Text = Session("SelectedSE").ToString
ListBox1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSourceSE.ID
End If
End Sub

In a nutshell, I am trying to maintain the CheckBox state on a GridView while paging. I am successfully tracking the CheckBox states in the ViewState (using an ArrayList on the row IDs) and I can successfully perform an action on all the checked rows on multiple pages.
However, once I go to a new page and then page back, the checked CheckBoxes are no longer checked (though the row ID still exists in the ArrayList in the ViewState). I have to assume this has something to do with the page life cycle.
I have read the entire ASP.NET Page Life Cycle Overview and tried binding the GridView in the PreRender event (and not binding the GridView at all) which didn't work either. All the examples I found online were loading the GridView DataSource from code behind using a DataTable filled from a SQLDataAdapter. I am using a DataSourceID (from a SQLDataSource) assigned directly to the GridView.
I still can't seem to determine why this is failing. Thanks in advance for your time.

After several more hours of research, I was finally able to get this working by moving the SetCheckboxState() out of the grdAdminIntakes_PageIndexChanging event and into the grdAdminIntakes_DataBound event.
I'm working on a Formview where in the EditTemplate, I have 1 dropdownlist dependent on another dropdownlist value.
I've looked at some examples and have found this one to be the most concise and I am working off of it:
http://mikepope.com/blog/AddComment.aspx?blogid=1629
It's pretty straight-forward but it's not working for my ddl. Can you tell me what I am missing or not implementing properly? I have removed some of the code in order to troubleshoot but still, nothing. For example, I am not setting the selectedValue as nothing is being returned...
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am getting this error while trying to disable the first radio button on the radiobutton list using the vb code:
RadioButtonList1.Items(0).Enabled = False
Here is the aspx code
<td class="TDLR">
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlFollow" DataTextField="FollowDesc" DataValueField="FollowID">

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlFollow" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:SampleConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="Select FollowID, FollowDesc FROM FollowUp WHERE FollowID > 30">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
</td>
Check the Items.Count first:
EDIT : Try the code in Page_PreRender like below:
Protected Sub Page_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreRender
If RadioButtonList1.Items.Count > 0 Then
RadioButtonList1.Items(0).Enabled = False

I can’t seem to figure out where I went wrong here. I have two list boxes the first pulls its data from a stored procedure on a sql server. the second list box is supposed to populate when the an item in the first list box is selected. the second list box’s stored procedure should be passed the text of the selected item when that item in the first list box has been clicked. the problem is that that second list box is not populating. I would appreciate any helpful feedback or possibly an easier way of getting done what I am trying to do.

My advice would be ditch the SqlDataSources and do it all in the back end - you can then be a lot more precise about when things occur in my experience. Ive done my best to write the necessary code below however my native tongue is C# - Ive used an online converter so please forgive any minor syntax errors.

I have a dropdownlist in my repeater, the dropdownlist is databound by a datasource. Originally all the dropdownlist will have all the same item option. I try to do if one of the showing dropdownlist is selected one option, then in other dropdownlist this option will disapper.

Please help to find out how to make it works.

Put your drop down list data binding code in the ItemDataBound event of your repeater. This is the event that fires every time it creates a "row" in your repeater. From there you can find the individual drop down list in the item.
The added benefit to this is that as each item is data bound, you could potentially change the contents of the drop down list based on the data you are working with.
