droplists and databinding in ASP.NET

I'm having a small issue with databound droplists. I have a droplist that
is connected to a datareader and I want to be able to select the first item
in the list. Unfortunately selecting the first item in the list results in
nothing happening even though AutoPostBack is set to true. If I select any
other items in the list I get an autopostback and things work correctly, I
can then select the first item in the list and it will work.

Is there some command that I'm missing that will allow the first item in the
list to be considered a "SelectedIndexC hange" ?

The code that binds the droplist is below:
Me.ActiveDropLi st.DataSource = ds
Me.ActiveDropLi st.DataMember = "UserWishLi st"
Me.ActiveDropLi st.DataTextFiel d = "WishListNa me"
Me.ActiveDropLi st.DataValueFie ld = "UserWishListID "
Me.ActiveDropLi st.DataBind()

The result is a droplist with the first item in the dataset already
selected. I've tried to set Me.ActiveDropLi st.SelectedInde x = -1 but that
does nothing after the databind().

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm writing what should be a very simple app against an Oracle database. The app has a number of user controls, any one of which is loaded into a main display page using the loadControl method, depending on which menu item a user selects. Each of these controls follows the same basic pattern: Get a dataset from the database and then display the results using basic databinding. Everything works fine except that I'll occaisionally get an...

When I first built a few web pages in ASP .Net 2.0, I thought it was great. The formview and detailview contorls would automatically layout the controls for you, the update methods were automatically generated, and the objectdatasource let you design against a business object through the gui. Now I am working on my first real web application on 2.0, and I find this automatic functionality doesn't do much beyond allowing me to generate...

I have tried using Databinding for my application but always seem to find it very restrictive (maybe I don't completely understand it enough). I always seem to find it much easier to display a form, have the user fill it out then put the data into a class representing a data row and then use the OLEadaptor or OLECommands to update the database. My question is has anyone really used databinding in anything but the simpliest application...

We have been noticing that questions on vs.2005/2.0 don't appear to get much in answers so I'm reposting some questions posted by some of the programmers here in our organization that never got answered... In 1.1 we always did our own myDataAdapter.fills and we liked that control for lots of good reasons. Now the new DataSource (or is it a TableAdapter:Dataset) automatically fills the Gridview. How can we control that fill? In a...

Hello to all, I want to know if DataBinding in asp.net 2,0 is better than to fill up the values of the controls of the following form: this.miControlTextBox.Text = valorParaControlTextbox; Performance with databinding is good in asp.net 2.0 ? Would you prefer: databinding or set value to Text property of control ?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
