creating a dropdownlist at runtime and displaying it in a datalist

1 New Member
Hi

I want to create a dropdownlist at runtime, add it to my datatable in my dataset, then pass the whole dataset in to a session and display it in my datalist. The dropdownlist will be unique for each row in the table of the dataset. Using .NET for web development

One problem is I don't know how to refer to the Row within the asp:DropDownLis t - as shown below

.aspx code
[HTML]<datalist>
<datatemplate >
<asp:DropDownLi st id=ddl runat="server" DataTextField= "datasetColumnN ame" DataMember="dat asettableName" AutoPostBack="t rue" DataSource='<%# Session("sessio nname") %>' >[/HTML]

Another problem is when creating the new column I can't create it's type to a dropdownlist.

.aspx.vb code
the dataset has already been created.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. dsShirts.Tables("tablename").Columns.Add("column")
  2.  
  3. Dim ddl As New DropDownList
  4.    Dim li1 As New ListItem(37, 1)
  5.    ddl.Items.Add(li1)
  6.     ds.Tables("tablename").Rows(0).Item("column") = ddl
help would be most appreciated.

Hi, I have a dropdownlist in my DataList control and I am trying to set the SelectedItem property of the dropdownlist so when the datalist displays the user will see the text in the dropdownlist set to a predetermined value. I can set the SelectedItem property easy enough and get the dropdownlist to work fine just so long as the dropdownlist is just on the form itself not in a DataList control.

Hi, I have an issue with the OnSelectedIndexChanged event not firing for a DropDownList control which is in the ItemTemplate of a DataList. I have made an exact copy of the DropDownList control, and placed it outside of the DataList and it fires the event just fine. So it's definitely to do with it being in a template. I've managed to reproduce the issue on a small test app, the code and html is below:

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,...
