Re: DropDownList - ListItem - ASP.NET Discussion Boards

Hi,

I have a DropDownList which is databound and also has one ListItem. The DropDownList is populated with all ProjectNames from the Project Table.
The ListItem's Text is "All" and the Value is "".

This DropDownList is supposed to be for a search funtionality. When I click on a project, a datagrid will display the records involving the selected project. When I select "All", I would like the datagrid to display the records involving ALL the projects.

I would just like to know if keeping the ListItem's value entry blank will be perfectly fine. If not, then what should it be?

Thanks.

let me get it right
what u do is that u select a list item and u put its value in the query string and then do the select, assign the datasource, then bind

why do u want to keep the listitem's value blank?

Thanks for the reply 3alaa2,

The thing is, I'm trying to make sense of how the list item will work. Let's say I names the value of the list item All just like the text for the list item.

Currently the query to populate the dropdown is simply:

"SELECT tblProject.inProjectID, tblProject.vchProjectName

FROM tblProject ORDER BY tblProject.vchProjectName"

If I am to include the list item, All, how would the query look?

No problem Big Grin | :-D

U can simply use the If/Else condition and use the sql statememnt
"SELECT tblProject.inProjectID, tblProject.vchProjectName FROM tblProject ORDER BY tblProject.vchProjectName" if the user select listitem(0) and use your other sql statement that has the Where clause

If u r using stored procedures there is another better solution.
Tell me if u do...

I am using stored procedures for saving/delete/updating records. This Query is a one off query populating a dropdownlist..

Would the solution look something like :

If Me.ddlProject.SelectedValue = ListItem(0) Then

"SELECT tblProject.inProjectID, tblProject.vchProjectName
FROM tblProject
WHERE tblProject.vchProjectName = [Any value(lol no idea what to write here!)]
ORDER BY tblProject.vchProjectName "

Else

"SELECT tblProject.inProjectID, tblProject.vchProjectName
FROM tblProject
ORDER BY tblProject.vchProjectName"

Thanks again for the replyin..

it's more like ...

<br />
If ddlProject.Items(0).Selected Then<br />
'The (All) statement<br />
<br />
"SELECT tblProject.inProjectID, tblProject.vchProjectName FROM tblProject ORDER BY tblProject.vchProjectName"<br />
<br />
Else<br />
'The specific project statement<br />
"SELECT tblProject.inProjectID, tblProject.vchProjectName FROM tblProject WHERE tblProject.vchProjectName = '"& ddlProjects.selectedValue &"' ORDER BY tblProject.vchProjectName"<br />
<br />
End If<br />

Hope this solves the problem

Thanks man,

One issue though... It is throwing an 'Out of range' error exception..

This is how I am populating the dropdownlist:

<br />
Dim sQueryDDL As String<br />
Dim sTableDDL As String<br />
Dim dsDDL As DataSet = New DataSet<br />
<br />
If ddlProject.Items(0).Selected Then<br />
                sTableDDL = "SELECT tblProject.inProjectID, tblProject.vchProjectName FROM tblProject ORDER BY tblProject.vchProjectName"<br />
            Else<br />
                sTableDDL = "SELECT tblProject.inProjectID, tblProject.vchProjectName FROM tblProject WHERE tblProject.vchProjectName = '" & ddlProject.SelectedValue & "' ORDER BY tblProject.vchProjectName"<br />
            End If<br />
            sTableDDL = "tblProject"<br />
            dsDDL = clsCommon.getData(sQueryDDL, sTableDDL)<br />
            dsDDL.Tables(0).DefaultView.Sort = "vchProjectName"<br />
            Me.ddlProject.DataSource = dsDDL.Tables(0).DefaultView<br />
            Me.ddlProject.DataTextField = "vchProjectName"<br />
            Me.ddlProject.DataValueField = "inProjectID"<br />
            Me.ddlProject.DataBind()<br />
            Me.ddlProject.Items.Insert(0, New ListItem("<< All >>", ""))

I have a creeping suspricion that the last line is the problem. Let me know if you can. Thanks..

u don't need the last line of code because the drop down list is already binded and the fields are inserted after the Me.ddlProject.DataBind() statement

let me know if u r still havin a problem ...

hi again,

This statement is thrown at me:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index

This is the line it highlighted as the erroneous one:

If ddlProjectRequestSearch.Items(0).Selected Then

Question: Shall I implement a <asp:listitem> tag in the front end code for the "All" option? I'm gonna try that now and see what happens.

Re: DropDownList - ListItem

just3ala231-Oct-06 3:02

just3ala2

31-Oct-06 3:02

u can do that as a solution

If u wanna keep it as before:

<br />
If ddlProjectRequestSearch.SelectedValue = "All" Then<br />
            'The code for all ...<br />
        Else<br />
            'The code for the rest ...<br />
        End If<br />
<br />
<br />
End If<br />

Put this code in the ddlProjectRequestSearch_SelectedIndexChanged and make the postback property "True"

or put it in a button and leave the postback property for the ddlProjectRequestSearch in the default state (False)

This should work fine, i tried it now Big Grin | :-D

I am populating the DropDownList in the PageLoad event. When will the list populate if the code is in the ddlProjectRequestSearch_SelectedIndexChanged method ?

Also, exactly where are we defining the ListItem "All". Since I erased it from the .aspx.vb file shall I make a <listitem> tag for it ?

Sorry bout taking up your time and Thanks.

Re: DropDownList - ListItem

31-Oct-06 5:36

The code i wrote doesn't populate the drop down list
this is for the event of selecting an item from the list
and yes, try adding a static item (tag) for it Name "All" and Value "All" so that code would work fine with u.
if it doesn't work try adding it in the code behind

<br />
ddlProjectRequestSearch.Items.Add("All")<br />

No problem man

Printing the contents of a web grid

Greetings people,

First off, you guys will have to excuse me in case my problem is a simple one. Im not a programmer after all.

Anyway, my problem is very simple: Im trying to display the results of my query in a grid on a webpage and I need to be able to do two things:
1.I want to render the first column fixed such that it remains visible whenever the user scrolls from left to right.
2.I want to be able to print the grid such that each page has the column headers and the corresponding row headers( the fixed column that I talked about in my first point above).
I have searched the internet for a web control that can allow me to do this but so far nothing.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Pete.

.NET Best Architecture!!!?

Hi All,
Recently I heard that some companies create a class of each tables present in the database, I will illustrate the same

If there is a table called Employee with EmployeeId, EmployeeName and Salary, then they create a class clsEmployee with EmployeeId, EmployeeName and Salary as their private fields and accessor methods.

And rather than passing the Dataset or XML through the wire, they pass the collection of this objects.

Can anyone tell me what is the advantage of this architecture?, where can I find some articles or guide to implement this architecturte?

Grateful to you all Smile | :)
