How set dropdownlist in detailsview?

Pretty simple webform layout...

- Categories dropdownlist (used as a filter for gridview): ddlCategory
- Gridview
- DetailsView used ONLY for insert into the Gridview

(All of this is contained in an UpdatePanel - using Ajax)

In the InsertTemplate of the DetailsView I use a dropdown for "Category". I
want it to ALWAYS be the same as the Categories dropdownlist at the top of
the webform. So, I tried this, but it doesn't work...

Protected Sub ddlCategory_Sel ectedIndexChang ed(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles ddlCategory.Sel ectedIndexChang ed
CType(dvInsert. FindControl("dd lCategoryInsert "),
DropDownList).S electedIndex = ddlCategory.Sel ectedIndex
End Sub

If I debug I can see the SelectedIndex change, but it doesn't show up
properly.

Any idea why? Thanks!

Hello, I've been playing with master/detail views as well as editing in the gridview, and I ran across a strange problem that I am not exactly sure where to go to try to solve.

Hello I have a GridView, and a DetailsView to edit the data. In the DetailsView I have two TemplateFields with a DropDownList in each TemplateField. Now I want that when the user selects an item in the first DropDownList a certain item in the second DropDownList is selected (as a suggestion for the user). I tried to write some code into the SelectedIndexChanged event, but I dont know how to access the second DropDownList there.

Hi, I made a detailsview containing several fields for inserting only. I also made a dropdownlist which is invisible at start. Now, when clicking in a particular textbox, the dropdownlist must become visible (in order to put the selected value of the dropdownlist into the textbox of the detailsgrid.). I must say, the detailsview contains textboxes, but also a checkbox. I tried a lot of things, but i don't know which events to take:

Hi, I have a detailsview with two fields: in editmode, one is a textbox and the other is a dropdownlist. i want to update both fields using the detailsview.

Hi, I have a DetailsView with a template field with a dropdownlist added to it. If the data coming into that field were put into a textbox, it would look like: Small|Medium|Large|X-Large. I need to break that out into dropdownlistitems with each text being the value also. I've tried using a ObjectDataSource unsuccesfully. What would be a valid way of handling this?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
