Hi, I'm having a problem using a databound dropdownlist inside a
reorderlist ajax control. Here's a snippet of the code I'm using:
<InsertItemTemp late>
<div class="insertAr ea">
<asp:DropDownLi st ID="lstUser" runat="server"
DataSourceID="U serDataSource" DataTextField=" UserName"
DataValueField= "UserId" SelectedValue=' <%# Bind("UserId") %>'
AppendDataBound Items="true"></asp:DropDownLis t>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtPhone" runat="server" MaxLength="20" Width="150"
Text='<%# Bind("ContactPh one") %>'></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" runat="server" MaxLength="255" Width="400"
Text='<%# Bind("ContactEm ail") %>'></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="cmdAdd" runat="server" Text="Add"
CommandName="in sert" />
</div>
</InsertItemTempl ate>
When clicking the Add button, I get a "Databindin g methods such as
Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a
databound control."
The bizarre thing about this is that the exact same code works fine in
the EditItemTemplat e. As far as I know, I need to bind the UserId so
that it gets fed into the UserId parameter in the objectdatasourc e. If
I remove the SelectedValue=' <%# Bind("UserId") %>' part then I no
longer get the error, but the objectdatasourc e tries to pass null for
the userid to the database, which is of no use.
Here is the insert section of the objectdatasourc e for reference:
<InsertParamete rs>
<asp:ControlPar ameter Name="Company" ControlID="lstC ompany"
PropertyName="S electedValue" Type="Int32" />
<asp:Paramete r Name="UserId" Type="Object" />
<asp:Paramete r Name="Sequence" Type="Int32" />
<asp:Paramete r Name="ContactPh one" Type="String" />
<asp:Paramete r Name="ContactEm ail" Type="String" />
</InsertParameter s>
Hope to get some help on this as it's really bugging me.
Regards,
Mark
