Hello,
I am creating an edit template for a FormView control, changing one of the
textboxes to a dropdown box. The dropdown will be populated from a simple
table with the primary key, and a description (i.e. a colors table, so there
is a colors ID and a color description).
The data source the FormView is pulling data from stores (in this example)
the primary key for the colors table. My ultimate goal is when the FormView
goes into an Edit mode that the description of the color will be set
correctly based off of the ID provided in the record the FormView is
displaying. As an example, if the colors ID is 1, and that happens to be
blue, the dropdown will default to the value of blue.
I've been trying various ways to get this to work, and am not having much
luck. Is there an example somewhere that someone is aware of to show how to
do this? The error I keep getting is below. I'm thinking it has to do with
the order the controls bind, but I do not know for sure. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Paul,
I'm doing exactly what you describe with a country dropdownlist.
I'm using the list's Databound event, which fires after the list's
databinding has completed so that all the items are in the list before I try
to set the value:
1) In the .aspx file's source view set the drop down's OnDataBound event to
call the correct subroutine. Note that the DataSourceId is calling one of
the new .NET 2.0 databinding datasource objects and that the DataText and
DataValue Fields are being set to columns being returned by that
datasource's select statement in order to generate the dropdown's list
items.
<asp:DropDownLi st ID="CountrysDro pDownList" runat="server"
Font-Size="xx-small" DataSourceID="C ountrysSqlDataS ource"
DataTextField=" CountryName" DataValueField= "pk_Country Id"
OnDataBound="Co untrysDropDownL ist_DataBound">
2) In the codebehind the cast the sender as the dropdownlist and then use
the form view's dataitem (a datarowview) to get the bound value for the
dropdownlist.
Protected Sub CountrysDropDow nList_DataBound (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArg s)
Try
Dim CountrysDropDow nList As DropDownList = CType(sender,
DropDownList)
Dim View As Data.DataRowVie w = FormView1.DataI tem
CountrysDropDow nList.SelectedV alue =
View.Item("fk_C ountryId").ToSt ring
Catch ex As Exception
Master.ProcessE xception("There was an error while selecting the
country for edit mode:", ex)
End Try
End Sub

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestion! I did manage to get it working in a different
way than you did actually. I was able to do it all via the interface
without having to do any coding at all! For some reason, I had to create a
new project, but once I did so, it worked fine.
Thanks for your help!
