dropdownlist size limit?

Hi

I'm using a DataReader to pull items into a DropDownList from an SQL
database. Everything works fine, but my client has started to nice that newly
added database entries aren't appearing in the DDL.

I've tested locally with exactly the same new record and it shows up fine in
the DDL, so I'm wondering if perhaps the DataReader or DropDownList has some
sort of maximum record/listcount limit?

The client db has about 400 entries going into the DDL. Is this something
like a limit, or is there something else it might be?!

Cheers

No, there is not a limit.

Andi f there was, you would of course be able to reproduce it locally. Since
it all works fine in your testing environment, the issue must be elsewhere.

Not necessarily.... the live db has a lot more records than the dev version
I'm trying to reproduce it on... hence the thought about limits.

Thanks for dispelling that idea though... I shall continue to investigate!

May be a bit simplistic, but you're not caching the page or any
controls are you?

Not that I'm aware of.... how would I know if I was?

It's not throwing an error either, its just not showing the latest records
added to the db. Very bizarre. Couldn't be anything to do with timeouts could
it?

You have to declare this explicitly, so you would probably know.
Look for the <%@ OutputCache %> at the top of your aspx file, (and
ascx files if you have any user controls)/

If the output is being cached you might expect new data not to show
(at least not straight away).

How can I set the size of text in the dropdown list: <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlQuestionType" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem Value="MS" Text="Multiple Single" /> <asp:ListItem Value="MM" Text="Multiple Multiple" /> <asp:ListItem Value="TF" Text="True/False" /> </asp:DropDownList> The problem is the text is so much larger than the other text and I tried inline style as well as using a class and it doesn't seem to change the text

I've tried setting the height of the dropdownlist, but when I do that it eats of space below . Basically, I only want about 10 rows visible and scrolling to then show up if there are more rows. But I want space below the dropdown to be available by other controls while the dropdown is not selected.
