I created an user control (.ascx file) with a DropDownList (DDL) with the
following code behide:
public string Selected_dept_v alue()
{
string dept_value = dept_dropdown.S electedValue;
return dept_value;
}
All the values were added via the visual interface.
I have droped this on my .aspx page and everything works fine. When making
additions to my datagrid.
<uc1:department _dropdown id="Department_ dropdown1"
runat="server"> </uc1:department_ dropdown>
The problem is when I am editing my datagrid.
Where I have:
<asp:templateco lumn HeaderText="Dep artment">
<itemtemplate >
<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "Emp_Department ") %>
</itemtemplate>
<edititemtempla te>
<uc1:department _dropdown id="Department_ dropdown2" runat="server">
</uc1:department_ dropdown>
</edititemtemplat e>
The DDL displays fine, but I cannot get the values when clicking update:
Here is the error and code behind that it is failing on:
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object <-- However I
have the following:
protected Department_drop down Department_drop down2;
Code:
str_emp_dept =
((DropDownList) e.Item.FindCont rol(Department_ dropdown2.Selec ted_dept_value( ))).SelectedVal ue; 3 1268
And the anwser is:
In the code behind:
str_emp_dept =
Convert.ToStrin g(((Department_ dropdown)e.Item .FindControl("D epartment_dropd own2")).Selecte d_dept_value()) ;
WHOOOOOOHOOOOOO O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you have a user control, declare it in the webform designer generated
code with all of your other controls. Make sure to name it exacltly the same
as your aspx page. Then you will be able to access it the exact same as you
would any other control.
OR -
You can just create an inherited dropdown control with the added field for
your selected department. Then you wouldn't have do a find control, it would
just automatically add itself to the designer generated code. As an added
bonus, you would see the dropdown in your designer instead of the generic
user control.

Michael can you go into more detail on naming my user control the same as the
..aspx page?
Also, can you go into more detail on inherited dropdown control? Also did
you understand my question I was placing the UserControl inside of a datagrid?

Hello,
I've got a datagrid with a textbox in each cell. I've also two buttons, one

The problem is that every time, the "add row" or "delete row" button is

We have a GridView that needs to be dynamically designed, depending on what
collection of fields our uses want to edit for their product data. We have
400+ fields of information per product so they're selecting a subset of those
fields to edit.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
