Page has Repeater Control displays students records, when click on any record it displays total info.
it has dropdown list displays list of all departments [ not static items ] comes from
db.<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl_name" runat="server" DataSourceID="Employee" DataMember="Technical"
DataTextField="Last_name"
DataValueField="Emp_code"
FirstItemText="Select Item"
FirstItemValue="0"
BoundColumnName="LastName"
BoundDataMember="DeptCode"
Clear="true"
/> Thanks...
by default it should display the first item..and when the user selects a department and save it, the page reloads and again it should show the default value.
You can do it via DropDownList.SelectedIndex property:
ddl.SelectedIndex = 0;
But I would recommend using Post-Redirect-Get instead and after a redirect-get you will have your dropdown set to default.
You may also try storing selected value in a variable or Session[""]

I have a web form that contain around 50 text box when user edit some of field out of them . i just want to get only those changes fields . how to get . please help me on this . thanks
You can add Custom attribute in each TextBox to store the original value. This could be compared with TextBox Text attribute to know if original value is changed by user.
<asp:TextBox ID="txt1" runat="server" CustomeAttribute="Original Value" Text="Original Value"/>
After user submits changed values you can compare each TextBox Value with its CustomAttribute.
if(txt1.Attributes["CustomeAttribute"].ToString() != txt1.Text)
{
//Value is changed by user.
}
To Add attributes from server side and assigning value.
txt1.Attributes.Add("CustomeAttribute", "your value");
This example is just to show how you can use Custom Attribute with single TextBox you can extend it for multiple textboxes.
I have a created a gridview and added a checkbox in item template. This grid has few columns along with DataKey (primary key). Due to performance gain, this grid will fetch the next set of recrods on each page change based on the page number click. So that is done.
Now when user selects a checkbox in page one and then go to page 2 and coming back to page one, then user will not see the checkbox checked as the user did earlier.
So is there a good way to persist the checkbox when user move page to page?
This checkbox be used as a flag to select the rows that can be deleted later by a button outside the grid.
Since you receive a new set each time a paging is selected, I suggest the following approach:
Create an array[] object via javascript that will add to list the datakey whenever a checkbox is selected and in turn remove it if the checkbox is deselected. Something like this:
var selectedDataKeys = [];
$('.checkboxclass').on('change', function() {
// Considering you assign the data key as id for the checkbox otherwise implement a way to retrieve the id.
var dataKey = $(this).prop('id');
// Determine if the dataKey is in the selected data keys array
var isContained = (selectedDataKeys.indexOf(dataKey) > -1 );
if($(this).is(':checked')) {
// If is contained is false - add to the array
if (!isContained)
selectedDataKeys.push(dataKey);
} else {
// If is contained is true - remove to the array
if (isContained){
selectedDataKeys = $.grep(selectedDataKeys, function(value) {
return value != dataKey;
});
}
}
});
From this point on the client user will have an active list of selected items, now its up to you to use that list to manipulate your grid display page. Either modify the display on document ready by comparing all the item on the grid display with the selectedDataKeys array or sending those keys and do the comparison server side.
Hope this helps.
I use Telerik RadComboBox in my project. I set EnableAutomaticLoadOnDemand="true" on RadComboBox. It works good but when I want to set selected item on load of page event, it doesn't show selected item
With load on demand mode, so combobox does not have any item. It just has item(s) when you action on it.
In my opinion, you should get the specific item and add it to combobox manually on page load event like this way (I'm not sure the structure, just an idea.)
if (!IsPostBack)
{
var itemSelected = service.GetById(Id); //item Id
this.combobox.Items.Add(new RadComboboxItem(itemSelected.Id, itemSelected.Name));
this.combobox.SeletedValue = Id.ToString();
}
RadCombo allows to set up SelectedValue and Text properties even through there are no items in it.
I'm working on a ASP.NET web forms application. I have a four-column listview, bound to a datasource on pageload(), populated with contact names. One of the columns contains a checkbox. Users select a checkbox to indicate the corresponding contact should be processed in the next step.
The form also contains a button. When this button is clicked, the following code runs to process the selected contacts.
foreach (var x in lvPeople.Items)
{
chkSelected = (CheckBox)x.FindControl("IsLetterRecipient");
if (chkSelected.Checked)
{
// the person was selected by the user, do stuff here...
}
}
When I set a breakpoint on the line containing the IF statement, the breakpoint gets hit seven times (once for each row in the listview == seven checkboxes). However, the code inside the IF block never runs because .Checked is always False, regardless of the whether or not the checkbox is actually checked.
AutoPostBack, on the checkbox, is set to False. EnableViewState on the checkbox and listview is set to True.
What am I doing wrong? How do I get the .Checked status of the checkboxes?
Probably, when you bind the data on Page_Load you forgot to do:
if(!IsPostBack)
{
//bind the data to the list
}
I have a drop down list that is populated in the page load event from a database table.
The drop down has a DataTextField set to a project name and the DataValueField set to the project id (interger).
Later I change the dropdowlist selected item with this code in the selectedindexchanged event of a gridview
GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
ddlProjectList.SelectedItem.Text = row.Cells[2].Text;
Does Changing the drop down list with this code cause the DataValueField property to change to the correct Project ID number also? If not is there a better way to do this?
=============================================EDIT
actually this code seems to be adding an additional item to the list so that the project i set with this code is listed twice so I don't think my code is correct
This does not change anything else than the text of the selected item in your DropDownList. Do you want to change the text and value of the project, or do you want to select the project from the DropDownList that relates to the selected row in the grid?
To change the project name and id, you'll have to change it in the data source behind the ProjectList. But if you just want to select the related project, you can use this:
var row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
if (ProjectList.Items.FindByText(row.Cells[2].Text) != null)
{
ProjectList.ClearSelection();
ProjectList.Items.FindByText(row.Cells[2].Text).Selected = true;
}
Setting SelectedItem.Text does not actually change the selected item by its text, it changes the text of the currently selected item. You need to use ddl.Items.FindItemByText (or it may be worded FindByText, I forget at the moment) to find the item, then set the ListItem.Selected property to true.
HTH.
You can do
ddlProjectList.FindByText(row.Cells[2].Text).Selected = true;
This will actually set it.
