hi guys,
I am using Visual Studio 2005. I have a dropdown list that has an associated SQLdatasource. I also have a textbox below the dropdown list that allows you to add items to the table that the datasource is associated with.After entering a new item into the table that the datasource is tied to, i would like to "refresh" the dropdown list so this is what i did
manuDropDownLis t.Items.Clear() ;
manuDropDownLis t.DataBind();
my problem is that i have the first item in the dropdown list as SELECT... and i set AppenddataBound Items=true in the drop down list properties however after databinding and stuff the SELECT... does not show up.
Everything works fine except that the SELECT... does not come back
How do i get it back?
please help

Hi,
Please check that if you have added "Select.." string into dropdownlist at the time of refreshing it.
e.g. -
-
manuDropDownList.Items.Clear();
-
-
//Add this statement if you want first item as "Select"
-
manuDropDownList.Items.Add("Select..")
-
manuDropDownList.DataBind();

hi,
Please check, where you placed the code to add "select"
if you wrote this before dropdownlist.Da taBaind(), then the add item (i.e, "select") will be deleted when you bind the datasource.
so please add the item after bind.
Its better to use,
dropdownlist.It ems.Insert(0,"s elect"); than add...

Hi,
In my dropdown I bind to a datasource. After that I try to do one of the
following:
1. Add an Item to the dropdown using dd.Items.Add(newe ListItem("textstr"));
2. Change the text of an existing item in the dropdown. For this one I use
the
following:pubDD.Items.Text=otherText;
Neither one works.

Since im quite new to ASP.NET i wanted to ask you folks what the best
way is to create a WebForm for modifying 1 field from a record. The

webcontrols, but now i've reached this magically moment that i want to

A common situation I come across is an ASCX control that being used as
a lookup control.
The ascx might be called "StatusLookup" or something, and it consists
of 1 dropdown list that populates itself from cache/database list.
If you databind on the Init event, then you are databinding every time,
and not making any use of the viewstate.
If you databind on the Load event, you can see if the control has
