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.

I have an Appmaker form to create a record that includes a many to one relation to another table. By default, the form creates a dropdown to select the related record from a list. This works fine, but I need to barcode scan (or type) the item name rather than select it.
When I change the dropdown to a text box and bind it to the related table, it greys out and becomes unusable when I preview it. (I get a circle with a line through it when hovering over.)
When I keep both the dropdown and the textbox on the same form, I can select a record from the dropdown and it populates the textbox. After that, the textbox becomes editable and works as desired.
How can I remove the dropdown and make the text box editable?
The problem is that when you bind the textbox to a relational field it is looking for a record not just a value.
My thought is you are going to want to create a text box where you enter/scan in the value and leave it unbound. then in probably the onValueChange event write a script to query the item in the related table that you are trying to relate and set that equal to the field you are trying to edit.I don't know that this code will work haven't tested it but should get you going in the right direction:
var ds = app.datasources.Parts;
ds.query.filters.Part._equals = newValue;
ds.load(function() {
if (ds.item === null) {
alert("Part not found!");
widget.root.descendants.FieldPart.value = null;
}
else {
widget.root.descendants.FieldPart.value = ds.item;
}
});
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 have a GridView in ASP.net where I have a CheckBox column. The user can toggle the CheckBox. Now, what I want is that when the user clicks on a button, all the records from the GridView where the CheckBox is checked should be displayed. And on another button, the opposite state should be displayed...
I am not getting the logic for the same.
Can anyone please help me with the logic..
You could iterate through the GridViewRows and check if the CheckBox is checked using something like the following
Edit from comments, fixed small bugs. Thanks guys. (3/20/2013):
foreach (GridViewRow row in yourGridViewID.Rows)
{
CheckBox check = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("CheckBoxName");
if (check.Checked)
{
//Take Row information from each column (Cell) and display it
}
else
{
//Display in seperate area
}
}
The index is going to be the column number starting from 0, going left to right of which column holds the CheckBox. You need to make sure the CheckBox has an ID name which is used at CheckBoxName. If you don't have an ID for that, you can also use
CheckBox check = (CheckBox)row.Cells[index].Controls[0];
I am trying to add a checkbox in a listview with value as ids of the records from the database so I can allow the user to check the ones they want to delete and when they click the delete button I can get value collection of checkbox with request.form.
My problem is, because checkbox in a listview ASP.NET renders the listview name into the name property of the checkbox, it prevents me to do request.form["checkboxname"].
I don't want to use Listviews delete commands but simply use request.form to get the collection of checked values.
How can I set name of the htmlinput checkbox so .NET doesn't change it in render time?
I have tried:
ListViewDataItem dataItem = (ListViewDataItem)e.Item;
HtmlInputCheckBox _CheckBoxDelete = (HtmlInputCheckBox)e.Item.FindControl("CheckBoxDelete");
_CheckBoxDelete.Visible = true;
_CheckBoxDelete.Value = DataBinder.Eval(dataItem.DataItem, "id").ToString();
_CheckBoxDelete.Name = "deletechecked";
But still it renders like:
<input name="PmList$ctrl0$CheckBoxDelete" type="checkbox" id="PmList_ctrl0_CheckBoxDelete" value="3" />
This is happening because ListView is a Naming Container. You can get around this in a couple of ways, but they all boil down to the choice of:
Rendering the HTML you want.
Pulling out the checked items in a different way.
The former is doable, but you'll likely loose a lot of ASP.NET's built in functionality. I'd advise against it unless you're deeply familiar with the control life cycle.
You've got everything you need for the pulling the values out in a way ASP is expecting:
HtmlInputCheckBox _CheckBoxDelete = (HtmlInputCheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBoxDelete");
You just need to wait for the control hierarchy to be populated, and then loop over the ListView.Items looking for the checkboxes. Your "Delete" button's event handler is probably a good place to call this from.
Incidentally, why are you using a HtmlInputCheckbox, rather than a CheckBox?
I have sorted it out with:
string idCollectionTodelete = string.Empty;
foreach (string x in Request.Form)
{
if (x.IndexOf("CheckBoxDelete") > -1)
{
idCollectionTodelete += Request.Form[x] + ",";
}
}
new DB().DeleteUserPm(
ActiveUsername(), subdomain, idCollectionTodelete.TrimEnd(','));
It is not an ideal solution but it does work for me.
I do this
List<HtmlInputCheckBox> chkDeleteContacts = new List<HtmlInputCheckBox>();
foreach (RepeaterItem item in rptrFamilyContacts.Items)
{
chkDeleteContacts.Add((HtmlInputCheckBox)item.FindControl("chkDeleteContact"));
}
foreach(HtmlInputCheckBox chkDeleteContact in chkDeleteContacts)
{
//Delete Contact
if(chkDeleteContact.Checked)
blnStatus = BusinessUtility.DeleteConsumerContact(LoginConsumerID, chkDeleteContact.Value);
}
Slightly easier in my opinion
I'm using an ASP.NET dropdown. I want to set the selected element using an ID (Id) which is stored in the DataValue field.
ddlTest.DataValueField = "Id";
ddlTest.DataTextField = "Name";
ddlTest.DataSource = searchResultList;
ddlTest.DataBind();
But all I can see is the SelectedIndex property which isn't the correct thing. How do I set by value?
After it's bound you can set the SelectedValue property to the correct id.
ddlTest.selectedValue = [whatever value you want to set];
If you need the text of the selected item then you can use
dropdwonlistID.SelectedItem.Value // selecting value of the selected item
dropdwonlistID.SelectedItem.Text // selecting displayed text of the selected item
