Problems using AJAX Control Toolkit Dropdown Extender w/ Gridview

William Youngman

We are developing an application that presents data to the user in a gridview and we are using the dropdown extender to give the user a SharePoint 2007 type dropdown menu attached to the cells of a given column. We are also using another dropdown menu that the user can use to select data using another quesry using the SelectedIndex change method. Upon initial page load everything works fine and the user is presented with a SharePoint type menu. The problem arises when the user selects another value from the filter dropdown menu - the gridview is successfully rebound with the new data however the SharePoint dropdown extender is not being recreated.

Upon viewing the source of the html page we are noticing that the extender is still present but it still has the data from the previous query bound to it and thus can not be attached to the new cells.

Code Snippets-

To build dropdown extender in Gridview

<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label id="lblProposal NameIdNumber" runat="server" Width="220" CssClass="menul abel">

<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "ProposalNameId Number")%>

</asp:Label>

<cc1:DropDownEx tender ID="ddeProposal Options" runat="server" TargetControlID ="lblProposalNa meIdNumber" DropDownControl ID="DropPanel" >

</cc1:DropDownExt ender>

</ItemTemplate>

Tried setting 'CacheDynamicRe sults' and 'EnableViewStat e' both to false but that didn't help. The problem is that the project manager and business unit really want this SharePoint 2007 type menu for the user interface so we have to figure something out.

Any help/suggestions/tips/tricks will be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Hi, I am a newbie in AJAX technologies. For my application I need a combination of ListSearchExtender and FilteredTextBox control. I have downloaded the toolkit with source code, and seem to have an understanding on where to modify the controls in order to achieve what I need. I do not want to modify the toolkit source directly as those changes will be overwritten when the next update/version of AJAX will come out.

Hi, 1. Do I need to install "AjaxControlExtender.vsi" and to use "AJAX Control Toolkit Web Site" template when I create a new web site or I can just use "ASP.NET Web Site" and to add "Script Manager" control and have the same functionality. 2.

Using ASP.Ajax Toolkit DropDown in Gridview - HTML too fat

by: DC | last post by:

Hi, when I use the DropDown / DropDownExtender to offer some Actions per row in a GridView, the produced HTML per row easily exceeds 2000 bytes (vs. about 200 bytes for a normal DropDown). Does someone know a way to cut that down or an alternative control (Sharepoing style) that would solve this with less HTML? TIA for any hint.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
