Update Dropdownlist datasource on bound control

I have two ddl's in a formview which is bound to an objectdatasourc e.

Each of the ddl's have there datasource propertys set to a function
which returns a dataset.
The selected index of each of the dropdownlist is set to a property
returned from the objectdatasourc e.

When I change the selectedindex property of the first dropdownlist I
need to pass the selectindexed of that dropdownlist into the function
that the second dropdownlist is bound to.

I seem to be able to do the above, but I can't get it to update the
contents of the second dropdownlist. I can't just databind again b/c
that seems to blow up.

Any help??

Can you be more specific with "blow up"?

I have a problem that I figured would be relatively common, but have been unable to find any information on it as of yet. I have a page that contains two DropDownList controls, with the second being dependent on the value of the first. My DropDownList control definitions look like this: <asp:dropdownlist id="ddlLocCty" runat="server" CssClass="SmlBox" AutoPostback="True" CausesValidation="False"></asp:dropdownlist> <asp:dropdownlist...

I'm wondering about the mechanics of databinding. Say that a textbox is bound to a property of a business object. The business object is a "Person". The control is a textbox called "ctlFirstName", and it's bound to the "FirstName" property of "Person". Why doesn't the following work? myForm.Show(); Person p = new Person();

Hello, I am using an editable datagrid. After I save the changes the datagrid shows the old values. I've read the posts about the Page_Load and not binding the datagrid each time. The SQL that is being sent to the database is correct and the changes are eventually being made. If I refresh the page after the update then the new values appear. I noticed that when I put a breakpoint in my update handler everything works fine. When I take...

Hi There, I am developing a shopping cart web application in C#. Product pricing for an item changes based on the weight of product purchased. ie: 100g=$4.95, 200g=$7.95, etc. Pricing is different for each product. When viewing the cart, I would like the the user to have the ability to select a different weight, specific to that item, which would then modify the price of that cart item.

I've seen articles on GotDotNet and elsewhere on how to put a ddl in a datagrid, and have been able to implement this technique. For a new item, among the datagrid columns there is the one ddl for the user to choose an account description, and when the user saves, then the value is saved and displayed in a bound column in the datagrid. So far so good. The problem is when the user edits the line. The ddl is refreshed with all of the...
