Hi all,
Please forgive if this has been answered before, but I haven't been
able to find the solution. I'm working on a project for school that
will use a dropdownlist populated by data from a database. The
dropdownlist will use the onselectedindex changed event to trigger a
subroutine that will populate a datagrid based on the selected item in
the dropdownlist.
I've got the dropdownlist and the sub to handle populating the
datagrid, but one other aspect of the problem is that all items are to
fire the event that loads the datagrid. The challenge is to have the
event fire when the first item is selected. But by default, the first
item of a datagrid is already selected and clicking on it won't fire
the onselectedidexc hanged event. According to the instructor, "this
can be easily accomplished with one line of code, but it was not
covered during the course."
I've been scanning the web and all my books, but can't figure it out.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated... 6 1521
Well, I found a workaround...
if not page.ispostback then add a new item at index 0 with a text value
= "Select..." , which becomes the default selected item. Next time
around, I dropdownlist1.i tems.removeat(0 ) if the text="Select... "
While this works, it's not the "one line of code" solution it's
supposed to be. I'm still hopeful for that easy one line solution...
I assume that you are populating the dropdown from a database with an SQL
statement. We use a union on our select something like
Select
0 as UserID,
" " as Display Name
Union
Select
....... Whatever your current SQL is
This creates a blank line at the beginning of the DropDown list.
I would be interested in the one line of code as well.

This may not be the solution but what I do
in the page load
if not page.ispostback
.....
do the drop down list databinding
onselectedindex changed(nothing ,nothing)
end if
This is done in one line since the rest should be doing anways

I may have misunderstood the question, but this might help. I have a
dropdownlist in a user control that displays a number of items, and
when an item is selected it redirects to a page that has several
datagrids based on the choice.
If(!IsPostBack)
{
// gets values from database
PopulateDDL():
DropDownList1.D ataBind()
DropDownList1.I tems.Insert(0, "Please select a
service...");
}
This add a dummy value at the top that means all of the other values
will cause a postback and whatever action I want. It's not elegant,
but it works. HTH.

Thanks for the help!
I implemented a solution where if not page.ispostback , I added a blank
line at the top, forcing the user to make a selection. Then, if
page.ispostback , I simply eliminate the blank line. I have a feeling
that this is what the instructor was looking for, so that's what I'm
going with. :)
I'll keep you posted if the solution is different.

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

Hi,
Before, I was working with Asp.net 1.0 and datagrid. I posted a question for
this issue. The solution of this problem is load the second dropdownlist on
the selectedindexchanged event of the first dropdownlist.
Now, I'm working with ASP.net 2.0 and the gridview. I apply the same method
but the second dropdownlist don't shows the rows filtered, it shows the rows
filtered when the gridview was loaded for the first time.
