Good morning all,
I am sure this has been asked but I did not see anything.
I have a datalist control. In the edititemtemplat e I have a dropdownlist.
I know on the itemdatabound event is where I can set the dropdownlist
selectedindex. How do I set the correct value?
private void lstDegrees_Item DataBound(objec t sender, DataListItemEve ntArgs
e)
{
DataList dl = (DataList)sende r;
if(e.Item.ItemT ype == ListItemType.Ed itItem)
{
DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e .Item.FindContr ol("ddlState") ;
ddl.DataSource = GetStatesLookup ();
ddl.DataTextFie ld = "Abbreviati on";
ddl.DataValueFi eld = "StateID";
ddl.DataBind();
ddl.SelectedInd ex = ddl.Items.Index Of(ddl.Items.Fi ndByText("AL")) ;
//how do I get what the correct value from the datalist datasource? The
field is StateID
}
}
Any suggestions? Thanks to everyone who responds.
Regards,
Chris

After setting the SelectedIndex property, SelectedValue should get you the
value (in this case, StateID) for the selected item.

Chris,
It's easier than that.
ddl.SelectedVal ue = "AL"
SelectedValue gets the value of the item in the list control or selects the
item in the list control that contains the selected value.

I am sorry. "AL" is just an example. I want the dropdownlist selected
value to be what the of the StateID was in the datalist datasource. Is
there a way to do that?
In vb.net you use
ddl.SelectedInd ex =
ddl.Items.Index Of(ddl.Items.Fi ndByText(sender .datasource("St ateID")))
how do I accomplish this in C#?

Chris,
It's the same thing. Get the name of the selection from the list and use:
string Selection;
Selection = [Selection from datasource here];
ddl.SelectedVal ue(Selection);

I'm using a DropDownList in Edit Mode of a DataList.
When the user selects to Edit the page, the values of the DataList will jump
not the to current/present selection, but to defaults, even though no
default is set.
How do set it to keep it's current value.
Is it just a case of placing the code in the Edit Handle to find the current
value and then set the selected value to that... before binding the list?

Hi,
I have a dropdownlist in my DataList control and I am trying to set the
SelectedItem property of the dropdownlist so when the datalist displays
the user will see the text in the dropdownlist set to a predetermined
value.
I can set the SelectedItem property easy enough and get the
dropdownlist to work fine just so long as the dropdownlist is just on
the form itself not in a DataList control.

Hi, I have an issue with the OnSelectedIndexChanged event not firing for a
DropDownList control which is in the ItemTemplate of a DataList.
I have made an exact copy of the DropDownList control, and placed it outside
of the DataList and it fires the event just fine. So it's definitely to do
with it being in a template.
I've managed to reproduce the issue on a small test app, the code and html

The problem I am having is with the SelectedIndexChanged event not

The DropDownList is actually a custom control called
