C#-WEB: getting selected menuitem to display in textbox

2 New Member

Just to start off, I am writing a web application using C#. I have a Menu which is binded to an XML datasource. There are three menu items each with submenus and a textbox where I want to display the value of the selected menu item. Heres the XML datasource that I am using:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<Home>

  <Menu text="Patient" description=" ">

    <SubMenu text="First Name" description="firstName"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Last Name" description="lastName"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Birth Date" description="birthDate"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Gender" description="gender"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="SSN" description="ssn"></SubMenu>

  </Menu>

  <Menu text="Contact"  description=" ">

    <SubMenu text="Address" description="ptAddress"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="City" description="city"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="State" description="ptState"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Zip" description="addPhone"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Home Phone" description="dayPhone"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Day Phone" description="dayPhone"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Mobile Phone" description="mobilePhone"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Email" description="email"></SubMenu>

  </Menu>

  <Menu text="Exam Info" description=" ">

    <SubMenu text="Last Exam" description="lastExam"></SubMenu>

    <SubMenu text="Is former patient(yes/no)" description="isFormPatient"></SubMenu>

  </Menu>

</Home>

Now when I select any of the submenu values under the "Patient" menu, the value of the selected menuitem is displayed properly. If I click on any of the other submenu items under "Contact" or "Exam Info", nothing gets displayed in the textbox.

Here is my HTML code and C# code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

    <div>

        <asp:XmlDataSource ID="XmlDataSource1" runat="server" DataFile="~/XMLFile.xml"></asp:XmlDataSource>

        <br />

    <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="4" DynamicHorizontalOffset="1" DynamicVerticalOffset="1" OnMenuItemClick="Menu1_MenuItemClick">

              <StaticMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />

              <DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="False" 

                ForeColor="White" />

              <DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#FFFBD6" />

               <StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" />

              <DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" />

              <DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />

            <DataBindings>

                <asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="Menu" TextField="text" ValueField="description" />

                <asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="SubMenu" TextField="text" ValueField="description" />

            </DataBindings>

              <StaticHoverStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="False" ForeColor="White" />

        </asp:Menu>

        <br />

        <br />

        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Width="520px"></asp:TextBox></div>

    </form>

</body>

</html>

My C# code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
using System;

using System.Data;

using System.Configuration;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Security;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
 
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 

{

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {
 
    }

    protected void Menu1_MenuItemClick(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)

    {

        TextBox1.Text += Menu1.SelectedItem.Value;

    }

}

Also, if i change my c# code to

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
protected void Menu1_MenuItemClick(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)

{

      TextBox1.Text += Menu1.SelectedItem.Text;

}

Whenever I click on "Contact" or "Exam Info", I get the value of "Patient"
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi, I am using C#.net 2.0 to write a web application. I would like to be able to programmatically detect what text has been selected in a textbox control. Is this possible?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
