Pop Up?

I set the ValidationSummary control's ShowMessageBox property to display
error message in a dialog box.
But I found it only works with IE, Not Netscape.

Did someone have it work ever?

Thanks.Hi,

Validations got server and client side validation. When you browse your
pages in Netscape they use the server-side validation and not the
client-side validation as the client side Validation scripts only works
only with IE.

Populate A Dropdown From Another Dropdown

I have a page that has two dropdowns on it. When the page loads, the first box is populated from an Access table. Here's the tricky part for me...

(Just when I think I understand how "postback" works, I find I'm wrong again!)

I have the dropdown set to autopostback=true. When the user selects a choice in this dropdown, the page postsback (I think) and I want it to then query another table in the same database to fill the second dropdown list AND keep the original dropdown list's selection.

For some reason, I can get it to fill the original dropdown, but then when it postsback, I get an error because my SQL statement to load the second dropdown looks like this:

Dim objSeriesDA As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Series WHERE fldProviderID=" & lstProvider.SelectedItem.Value & " ORDER BY fldSeriesNumber DESC", objSeriesCN)

Apparently, when the page postsback, the original dropdown list loses its selection, causing the SQL statement above to error out on a null reference.

Any ideas?

If need be, I can throw this up on a server so you all can see what I'm talking about... I can post the full source as well.

Thanks!

:)wrap the code that is filling your first drop down list with this:

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
'...your code here.
End If
Does anyone have a link to some information that explains PostBack in depth?
well, this link (http://www.15seconds.com/Issue/020102.htm) helped me with some basics on the page lifecycle when i was having user control postback problems. Really, there's not much more to the kind of postback stuff in your first post. If you know how the page loads and when control events are evaluated, that's pretty much it. Were you looking for information on how to roll your own PostBack handler or something else?

I have tried using a textbox control with this property set to multiline previously however without specifically setting the height of the textbox I end up with vertical scrollbars- which I cannot have because this is for a printable report.

Populate Month in Combobox <Resolved>

Hi!

I have a asp.net control combo box. I want to pouplate it with the name of the months.

I am wring the code in the code behind. I am using vb.net as the code behind.

My code is

'Month
dim i as integer
dim myvar as string

i = 1
Do While i <= 12
myvar = MonthName(i, True)
cboMonth.Items.Add(myvar)
i = i + 1
Loop

I get the populated month names in the combobox, because of the function month name.

But in the value I want 1,2,3 not Jan, Feb, Mar...How to achive this.

Had been it ASP I wud have written:

do while iLoop <= 12
myvar = MonthName(iLoop,true)
Response.Write "<option value=" & iLoop & " selected>" & myvar & "</option>"
iLoop = i Loop+1
loop
This wud have given me the dsired result.

How to do in VB.NET?With a bit of R&D got the solution:

i = 1
Do While i <= 12
myvar = MonthName(i, True)
cboToMonth.Items.Add(New ListItem(myvar, i))
i = i + 1
Loop

Populate textbox with textmode=password

I'm trying to populate a password style text box from information in a database. It will populate when I change it to a singleline text (or normal) but it will not with a password style. I would like it to populate with the ******* but be able to have the actual data in the background so I can submit it to a database.

ThanksWrite a code behind for this for text change event to change to * from test..

Nor text box has a property of password...

Cheers,
Devendra Naik
It's be design.. but there is a way around it.. instead of changing the Text property, you can do this:

myTextBox.Attributes["value"] = "somethingfromthedatabase";

Populating a check boxlist with info from a database

I have a dropdown box with the value titleid. I also have a checkboxlist with the value of classificationid. How do I populate a checkboxlist when I change the selection in the dropdown?

I have this on pageload

Checkboxlist1.datasource="mystoredprocedure"

checkboxlist1.datatextfield = "description"

checkboxlist1.datavaluefield = "classificationid"

Checkboxlist.databind()

If checkboxlist1.items[i].value = "1' then

checkboxlist1.items[i].selected = true

else

checkboxlist1.items[i].selected = false

Do I need to put something in here to connect/bind to the dropdown box?

You need to handle the "SelectedIndexChanged" event of the dropdown, This event is raised when the selectedItem changes. Please also remember to set the "AutoPostBack" property of the dropdwn to true.

<asp:DropDownListID="DropDownList1"AutoPostBack="true"runat="server"OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged"/>

protectedvoid DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,EventArgs e)

{

//Bind the check box list here again and add any necessary logic you want might want

}s

If this helps please remember to mark post as answer.

Help I'm confused...

I have this as my dropdown:
<asp:DropDownListID="DropDownList1"runat="server"DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"

DataTextField="Title"DataValueField="TitleID"AutoPostBack="True"OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged">

</asp:DropDownList><br/>

<asp:CheckBoxListID="CheckBoxList1"runat="server"DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"

DataTextField="description"DataValueField="classificationid"RepeatColumns="5"RepeatDirection="Horizontal"BorderStyle="Dashed"CellPadding="2"CellSpacing="2"Height="247px"Width="762px"BorderColor="#CFB37D">

</asp:CheckBoxList><br/>

What do I put on the code behind page for the SelectedIndexChange to bring back the items in the database? If the titleID is selected I want check marks in the checkboxes (classificationid) to show what the user has selected already. Please help!

ProtectedSub CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles CheckBoxList1.SelectedIndexChanged

EndSub

Okay I've figured some things out... Here's my stored procedure:

CREATE Procedure GetClassID

@.titleid int

AS
SELECT
classifications.[description], titleclassification.classificationid

FROM
classifications inner join titleclassification on titleclassification.classificationid = classifications.classificationid

wheretitleid=@.titleid
GO

I'm trying to code the checkboxlist and having problems

ProtectedSub CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles CheckBoxList1.SelectedIndexChanged

Dim iAsInteger

Dim chkbxAs CheckBoxList

For i = 0To chkbx.Items.Count - 1

Next

if chkbx.Items[i].SelectedValuethen

CheckBoxList1.Items([i].selected =True)

Else

CheckBoxList1.Items([i].selected =False)

EndIf

CheckBoxList1.DataBind()

EndSub

what am I doing wrong?

Ok, i want to understand one thing. Based on which field do you want the items to be checked? You have 2 fields in your select SP, you need to have a third one and based on it, you set the the items to be checked or not.

I want the classificationid field to be checked. What's the other field to add and how do I set the items to be checked or not? Do I need a Boolean?

if your sql database classificationid field is set to 'bit' you wont need to do anything except checkboxlist1.databind()

it knows 1's are checks and vice versa.

edit: ok so you are using stored procedures. ive never done it that way. what i would do, which is pretty simple imo, is create a fresh checkbox list. let it create a sqldatasource for it. i use the nice little sql generator thing when i create it. select the 2 columns from your database. click the where button and use the control selected index thing. i hope im not being to vague. then lastly you will have to set the dropdownlist to autopostback.

Okay I tried it your way and got the same thing as my stored procedure but how do I get the items to be checked? What do I put for the codebehind

ProtectedSub CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles CheckBoxList1.SelectedIndexChanged

That's where I'm lost.

its not checkbox1 seletedindexchanged, its dropdownlist1 selectedindex changed. in that code snippet just put checkboxlist1.databind(). when a checkbox list is bound to a bit field, it will check the boxes that are true

please post your most recent aspx page code so i can look at your sqldatasource.

I can't change my classificationid field to a bit field because it will change the entire structure of my database. Ugh. Do I write a function like so to convert to a bit. Is this one okay.

CREATE FUNCTION [Converttobool]
(@.value char(1))
RETURNS bit
BEGIN
declare @.returnvalue bit

if @.value = 'y'
set @.returnvalue = 1
else
set @.returnvalue= 0
return @.returnvalue

END

i think you can just do it in your select statement

cast(columnname, bit)

This is what I have thus far it brings back my items from the database but it's not checked, any ideas?

ProtectedSub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged

Dim iAsInteger

For i = 0To CheckBoxList1.Items.Count - 1

If (CheckBoxList1.Items(i).Selected)Then

Response.Write(CheckBoxList1.Items(i).Value)

EndIf

Next

EndSub

you dont need to manually check anything if youve databound it to the sqldatasource... its just checkboxlist1.databind()

Added it cast to my select statement

SELECT
classifications.[description], cast(titleclassification.classificationid as bit)

FROM
classifications inner join titleclassification on titleclassification.classificationid = classifications.classificationid

wheretitleid=@.titleid

Now I'm getting ...Databinding: System.Data.DataRowView does not contain a property with the name classificationid. Any suggestions?

Okay I got rid of the databinding error message, page comes up but still no items are checked? I'm going. I feel that I'm almost there any suggestions?

Here's my select statement:

SELECT
classifications.[description], cast(titleclassification.classificationid as bit)

FROM
classifications inner join titleclassification on titleclassification.classificationid = classifications.classificationid

wheretitleid=@.titleid

What do I put here?

ProtectedSub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged

CheckBoxList1.DataBind()

EndSub

Thanks if anyone can assist me!

populating a drop down box with ms access information

what is the best way to populate a drop down box with a list of names in a database? i'm using webmatrix/asp.net and the names are in a field called "name" .

dim ConnString as string = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=MyDBPath;"
dim conn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ConnString)
dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand()
dim dr as OleDb.OleDbDataReader
cmd.connection = conn
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmd.CommandText = "select id, name from mytable"
try
 conn.open
 dr = cmd.executereader() 'assuming dr is your datareader
 myDropDownList.datasource = dr
 myDropDownList.DataTextField = "name"
 myDropDownList.DataValueField = "id" 'example of assinging a value field too
 myDropDownList.Databind()
finally
 conn.close
end try

This is an example using a datareader for quick access and ideal for dropdownlists. You will see examples using datasets too but this just happens to be my preference from a performance point of view.

Populating a dropdown box

Hi all,

I have populated one dropdown menu using data from a database using the following code

Sub Page_Load (seander as Object, e as EventArgs) Year.DataSource = GetYear() Year.DataBind()End Sub Function GetYear() As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader Dim connectionString As String = "server='localhost'; user id='sa'; password='eoyson'; Database='PupilRoll'" Dim sqlConnection As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString) Dim queryString As String = "SELECT [Years].* FROM [Years]" Dim sqlCommand As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConnection) sqlConnection.Open Dim dataReader As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) Return dataReader End Function

I am now trying to populate another dropdown list depending on the information selected from the previous dropdown list.

Cheers!

Populating a List Box

Hi

I am trying to populate a list box with all my themes that i have created but I keep getting an message which is

Type DirectoryInfo is not defined i m guessing i have to declare if but i dont know how are where please could you guys help. Thanks

1Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal senderAs Object,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)23If (Not Page.IsPostBack)Then45 Dim themeDirAs New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("App_Themes"))6 lstThemes.DataTextField ="Name"7 lstThemes.DataSource = themeDir.GetDirectories()8 lstThemes.DataBind()910End If1112 End Sub13

The DirectoryInfo class is located under the System.IO namespace.

Yeah i tired declaring it as Inherits System.IO. Is that the correct appraoch

hello i ve tried to use the system io like u suggested but i still have the same problem here s my code. Do u have any ideas where i am going wrong cheers

PartialClass _Default

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Inherits System.IO

ProtectedSub Page_Load(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)

If (Not Page.IsPostBack)Then

Dim themeDirAsNew DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("App_Themes"))

lstThemes.DataTextField ="Name"

lstThemes.DataSource = themeDir.GetDirectories()

lstThemes.DataBind()

EndIf

EndSub

EndClass

Is your App_Thems directory in your web directory? I would check the path returned by Server.MapPath("App_Theme"), perhaps it doesn't exists and that's why you're getting an error.

bigyawn_hippo:

Hi,

Based on my understanding, you want to import the System.IO namespace in your asp.net VB application. If I have misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.

The DirectoryInfo class is in the System.IO. If we want to use it, we can import it. For example:

Imports System.IOPartialClass _DefaultInherits System.Web.UI.PageProtected Sub Page_Load(ByVal senderAs Object,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)If (Not Page.IsPostBack)Then Dim themeDirAs New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("App_Themes")) lstThemes.DataTextField ="Name" lstThemes.DataSource = themeDir.GetDirectories() lstThemes.DataBind()End If End SubEnd Class

Alternatively, we can use this namespace in the code behind directly, for example:

Dim themeDir As NewSystem.IO.DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("App_Themes"))

Besides, you can find more information about asp.net by the following link:http://www.asp.net/get-started/.

I hope this helps.

Hi hyppo,

why don't you try to put only this two instructions ?

lstThemes.DataSource = themeDir.GetDirectories()
lstThemes.DataBind()

I found my code doing the same and i didn' t write ...DataTextField

Populating a List box with recent dates

I am having a interesting issue. I work for a University's Career
Services department. We collect data from recent grads. I am
recreating the online survey we use. I am trying to populate the
graduation date with 4 dates. May **, June **, August **, December **.
The "**" represents the year of graduation. To prevent having to
constantly update this survey I'd like to dynamically create this
values. So at page load I want it to check the server time and only
show the months from the past year. IE since Today is June 07 the
values would read June 07, May 07, December 06, August 06. Then in
August It would read August 07, June 07, May 07, December 06. Etc... I

for (int iLoop = 0; iLoop < 4; iLoop++)
{
ddlMyDropDown.Items.Add(new ListItem(String.Format("{0:MMM yy}",
dt)));
dt = dt.DateAdd("MM", -3, dt);

Suppose you start today, what are the four dates which your code will add to
the DropDownList...?

Just a bit of modification to Mark's code to output it as djjohnst was looking
for, in the "June XX" format):

List<StringlstDates = new List<String>();
DateTime dtmStart = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month,
1);
while (lstDates.Count < 4)
{
if (dtmStart.Month == 5
|| dtmStart.Month == 6
|| dtmStart.Month == 8
|| dtmStart.Month == 12)
{
lstDates.Add(dtmStart.ToString("MMMM yy"));
}
dtmStart = dtmStart.AddMonths(-1);
}

ddlGradDates.DataSource = lstDates;
ddlGradDates.DataBind();

- Converted it from a list collection of DateTimes to Strings; maybe a KVP
to keep the "data" and presentation apart may be a solution if the two need
to be different.

- Added the MMMM yy to output the long Month name and short year.

HTH.

True enough - I took the final formatting "as read", and assumed that the

The code I gave you is C#, which runs server-side so it can't go in your
page's header section...

Are you using in-line server-side code or code-behind...?

in-line. Do you think it would be better to do code behind?

Populating a List box with recent dates

I am having a interesting issue. I work for a University's Career
Services department. We collect data from recent grads. I am
recreating the online survey we use. I am trying to populate the
graduation date with 4 dates. May **, June **, August **, December **.
The "**" represents the year of graduation. To prevent having to
constantly update this survey I'd like to dynamically create this
values. So at page load I want it to check the server time and only
show the months from the past year. IE since Today is June 07 the
values would read June 07, May 07, December 06, August 06. Then in
August It would read August 07, June 07, May 07, December 06. Etc... I
am trying to think of a clever way to do this and just can not do
this. Anyone have an idea?"djjohnst" <djjohnst@.gmail.com> wrote in message

How about something like...
DateTime dt = DateTime.Today();
for (int iLoop = 0; iLoop < 4; iLoop++)
{
ddlMyDropDown.Items.Add(new ListItem(String.Format("{0:MMM yy}",
dt)));
dt = dt.DateAdd("MM", -3, dt);
}

Populating a list box from a loop

I was wondering how you would populate a listbox in asp.net with values from an array created by a loop.
here is the loop structure I am using:
Public Sub Page_Load()
Dim MyString, MyArray, Msg
Dim i as integer
Dim AddThis as string

MyString=BillDS.FieldValue("Week Reason 1", nothing)
MyArray=Split(MyString, "F", -1, vbTextCompare)

Msg=MyArray(0)

For i = 1 To UBound(MyArray)
Msg=Msg & "," & MyArray(i)
Next
lblReasonforError.Text=Msg

End Sub

I can get it to populate the first value in the array but I need it to populate all the values in the array which will vary according to the record it is looking at. Then with those value(s) I want to populate a listbox with all the error codes that are stored in a table on sql server according to the results of the split.
For example:
tblErrorCodes
Code ErrorMessage
1 Wrong
2 Bad

Split gets the value of 1 and 2
Populate listbox like so:
Wrong
Bad
Hope this is clear
Thank you

You can simply bind datalist to an array by setting the array as the datasource of the datalist

Hope that helps

It's the simplest and the only way since ListBox doesn't have Add method.
Madmaxrtw,I'm not sure what your code is about.
But in case you need to use just some items you'd have to transform array into another one.
Or might be use DataTextField and DataValueField properties.

Hey guys I got it here is the loop script

<script language="VB" runat="server">
Public Sub Page_Load()
Dim MyString, MyArray, Msg
Dim i as integer
Dim AddThis as string


MyString=BillDS.FieldValue("Week Reason 1", nothing)
MyArray=Split(MyString, "F", -1, vbTextCompare)

Msg=MyArray(0)

For i = 1 To UBound(MyArray)
Msg=Msg & "," & MyArray(i)
Next

dlErrorList.DataSource=MyArray
dlErrorList.DataBind()

End Sub
</script>

And the DataList:
<asp:datalist CellPadding="10" ID="dlErrorList" RepeatColumns="0"
RepeatDirection="Vertical" runat="server" gridline="Both">
<ItemTemplate>
<b><%# Container.DataItem %></b>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:datalist>

Thank you so MUCH!!!

Yes it does.
You add to the ListBox Items array. Not directly to the ListBox.

You're right.
Thank you for corrections.
