Problem with a dropdownlist within a repeater

We have some javascript code that depends on the name of the
dropdownlists to be the same as it parses them in an array, but within
a repeater the webcontrols generate a uniqueid with ctl0: and some
other junk prepended. Is there anyway we can prevent the dropdownlist
from writing out its mangled name?

It mangles the name to ensure all the control names are unique.

One solution is to generate an array of names on the server by
checking the ClientID property of each DropDownList and sending the
array to the client for JavaScript to use with
Page.RegisterAr rayDeclaration. You could gather the names to use
during the ItemDataBound event of the Repeater.

HTH,

I have a dropdownlist which lives inside of a repeater. The repeater accepts user input via textboxes and the aforementioned dropdownlist. The repeater accepts phone numbers and allows for an arbitrary number of empty rows to be added to it. So, if a user knew in advance that they wanted to add 3 phone numbers, they can type the nuber '3' in a textbox (outside the repeater) and click a button (also outside of a repeater), and 3 new empty ...

Hi all, I am creating a DropDownList in a RepeaterControl. After the Repeater is DataBound in the ItemCreated event (of the Repeater) I bind the DropDownList to a Table and then try to select one of its value.

I have a DropDownList that is nested inside a Repeater. The datasource of the DropDownList is declared in the aspx, not the codebehind.

Hello All, I have a Repeater which contains a Dynamic DropDownList within its itemtemplate. I know I have struggled with this before and I am pretty sure I had to save a bunch of crap manually to the viewstate, but does anyone know what would cause those DropDownList objects to clear out on postback. Is there a setting on the Repeater I am forgetting about? I tried tooling with EnableViewState but that did not work. The Repeater gets...

I have a (.Net 1.1) form with a Repeater and a DropDownList in the ItemTemplate. I programmatically make the DDL Autopostback = true at runtime based on the bound data. That works - I can see the postback happen appropriately. The DropDownList looks like this: <asp:DropDownList id="ddMultiQty" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddMultiQty_SelectedIndexChanged" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList>

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
