Get selected value of dropdown from panel

[Andy Sutorius]

Hi,

I have 4 panels, each panel has a dropdown and a "next" button. I would like
to get the selected value of the dropdown after the next button is clicked.
I thought I could use the following (ddlChooseEmail .SelectedValue) to grab
the value but it does not work. Is there something special about panels that
I need to do in order to get the selected value of the dropdown?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

Eventhough you place some controls in Panels, you can directly refer from
your code behind with, their name. There should not be a problem.
I hope you to have a similar code as follows....

using System;
using System.Collecti ons;
using System.Componen tModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Sess ionState;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.W ebControls;
using System.Web.UI.H tmlControls;

namespace TestApp
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for WebForm1.
/// </summary>
public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.P age
{
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Pane l Panel1;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Pane l Panel2;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Pane l Panel3;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Pane l Panel4;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Drop DownList ddl1;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Drop DownList ddl2;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Drop DownList ddl4;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Drop DownList ddl3;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Butt on Button2;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Butt on Button3;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Butt on Button4;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Butt on Button1;

private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
// Put user code to initialize the page here
}

#region Web Form Designer generated code
override protected void OnInit(EventArg s e)
{
//
// CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Form Designer.
//
InitializeCompo nent();
base.OnInit(e);
}

/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>
private void InitializeCompo nent()
{
this.Button1.Cl ick += new System.EventHan dler(this.Butto n1_Click);
this.Button2.Cl ick += new System.EventHan dler(this.Butto n2_Click);
this.Button3.Cl ick += new System.EventHan dler(this.Butto n3_Click);
this.Button4.Cl ick += new System.EventHan dler(this.Butto n4_Click);
this.Load += new System.EventHan dler(this.Page_ Load);

}
#endregion

private void Button1_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Response.Write( " - ");
Response.Write( ddl1.SelectedVa lue.ToString()) ;
}

private void Button2_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Response.Write( " - ");
Response.Write( ddl2.SelectedVa lue.ToString()) ;
}

private void Button3_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Response.Write( " - ");
Response.Write( ddl3.SelectedVa lue.ToString()) ;
}

private void Button4_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Response.Write( " - ");
Response.Write( ddl4.SelectedVa lue.ToString()) ;
}
}
}
