DropDownList Strange Behavior

PJ
I have several dropdownlist controls in a placeholder on my form. Certain
events will show this place holder and populate the values of the items
collection of the dropdownlist controls. A placeholder surrounds each
individual dropdownlist as well and will be set to false if the data for the
dropdownlist will not cause it to have more than one item. I create the
items manually...I don't use databinding and I set both the text and the
value of each listitem. The autopostback is not set, as the follows are
read during a command event for a button.

My problem is that the SelectedIndex of any of the dropdownlist controls, in
which the value has been changed, is always 1. If it hasn't been touched,
it will be 0. The .SelectedIndex and .SelectedItem properties will not
reflect the correct selection. As a test, a dropdownlist outside of the
placeholders, in which i enter the listitem controls directly on the aspx
page, is working fine.

Any one have any idea what is going on here? I've used dropdownlist
controls thousands of times w/out encountering this issue. I'm sure I've
used them inside placeholder controls before. Inspecting the Locals, I do
see that all of the items are present for each dropdownlist, it just seems
to be the selectedindex is off. I am not manipulating the lists in this
particular event at all. I really can't seem to figure this one out.

~TIA PJ

I have built a control that runs an on-line help system. Depending on the category you selected via dropdownlist, it goes out and gets the child subcategories, and if there are any, adds a new dropdownlist to the screen for selection. This continues until there are no children, and then it checks for a help article list based on that last selection and displays actual articles for display. Adding the controls and getting everything...

I have an ASP.NET web page -- several auto-post back DropDownLists that perform a query against a relatively large database (3 to 4 seconds delay) that repopulate a couple of datagrids, comboboxes and a chart (using dotnetCharting control) on the same page. This works just fine on its own. However, when I integrated the page into the rest of the site, it is then placed inside a frameset. Again, the page seems to work fine EXCEPT under the...

Hello I have a datagrid that has a TemplatedColumn containing a dropdown list (DDL). This DDL is filled for each datagrid row via the itemcreated created event. The first time i postback none of the selections made by the user are available for each dropdownlist on the server. They all simply have values equal to the first record of the datasource.... which is not very useful.

I've discovered a very odd bug when attempting to put a dropdown list in a datagrid. In the page PreRender step, the selected index of the datagrid is successfully set during databinding. Yet, when the datagrid enters it's own OnPreRender, the selected index has reverted to zero. I created a debug version of the dropdown list which inherited from dropdownlist and overrode the selected index property to trace.write whenever it was...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
