Hi,

I would like to be able to change my html table when I select list item from the dropdown menu.

For example,

Currently, when the page loads, the html table only renders current method.

C#

 <tbody>
<tr>
<th><asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></th>
<th><asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></th>
<th><asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<%=current()%>
</tr>
 </tbody>

I would like to build logic for, If I select weekly option from the dropdown menu, I would like the html table to render the weekly().method.

Would I need to create this login inside the current() method. if so, how would I
pass the dropdown event method?

Current progress:

C#

protected void myListDropDown_Change(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DropDownList ctrl1 = FindControl("ddlDate") as DropDownList;
            if (ctrl1.SelectedValue == "Weekly")
            {
                string week = weekly();
                // not sure how to implement after this stage...???
                
            }

        }

ASP.NET

<p><asp:DropDownList ID="ddlDate" runat="server" Width="200px" OnSelectedIndexChanged="myListDropDown_Change">
              <asp:ListItem Text="Select Timeline" Value=""></asp:ListItem>
              <asp:ListItem Text="Weekly" Value=""></asp:ListItem>
              <asp:ListItem Text="Monthly" Value=""></asp:ListItem>
          </asp:DropDownList></p>

Any further help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks

I would advise you to use a single method that will render the correct content by checking the selected value...After all that method runs on the server in the very same page where the drop-down is...

HTML

<table><tbody><tr>
  <%=render()%>
</tr></tbody></table>

C#

public string render()
{
  swtich(dropdown.SelectedValue)
  {
     case: 1:
     {
     }
     break;

     case: 2:
     {
     }
     break;
  }
}

The Change method of drop-down will be used only for page refresh...
