display a particular number from dropdownlist - c#

Is there a way in dropdownlist to show the desired number on pageload?
eg.
I have a dropdownlist control
I am using a for loop to populate it
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
DropDownList1.Items.Add(i.ToString());
}
Now this displays 1 on page load ... but I want to display 7..
How do I do that?

If you mean that it is the default selected value, you would just need to set a default selected value in the page load, after the list has been populated. Make sure only to do this when it is not a postback or you will overwrite any user selections.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
DropDownList1.SelectedValue = "7"
}
}

Would set it inside your for loop. Would also store the default somewhere outside the code (db, config) so if it changes you don't have to redeploy.
if(!IsPostBack)
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
var newItem = new ListItem(i.ToString());
newItem.Selected = (i == 7);
DropDownList1.Items.Add(newItem);
}
}

After your for loop
DropDownList1.Items.FindByText("7").Selected = true;

Use the SelectedItem or SelectedIndex property.

How do I add checked item(s) in my checkedlistbox to a DataGridView?

I have a dropdownlist that selects category list from Database and display the product name onto the checkedlistbox. But how do I grabs the checked items from the checkedlistbox to the DataGridView? This is how my design looks like:
Also, how do I make every medication that has been added to the Gridview has a default value of 1 Quantity?
Add this code to your Add button click event:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 0; i < checkedListBox1.Items.Count; i++)
{
if (checkedListBox1.GetItemChecked(i))
{
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(checkedListBox1.Items[i], "1");
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i <= checkedListBox1.SelectedItems.Count - 1; i++)
{
dataGridView1.Rows.Add();
dataGridView1.Rows[dataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1].Cells[0].Value = checkedListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
}

How to get checkbox value in gridview

Can you please help me on this, I get the check box control value as false always even when I check the control in gridview.
for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
{
CheckBox CheckBox1 = (CheckBox)GridView1.Rows[i].FindControl("CheckBox1");
if (CheckBox1 != null)
{
if (CheckBox1.Checked)
{
query = GridView1.Rows[i].FindControl("Label1") + ",";
}
}
}
Are you databinding on Page_Load method? If yes, you must do this:
if(!IsPostBack)
{
GridView1.DataSource = YourData;
}
If you don't do this, your DataGridView will be databound even if it is a PostBack. This way no matter what you checked, the DataGridView will be repopulated from the data source for your postbacks.
Using the above code, when you do if(!IsPostBack), it will retain the checkbox's viewstate value and you get the correct Checked status.
Inside the checkbox design add the following attribute
ToolTip="<%#Container.DataItemIndex+1 %> " and then following is the code behind
for (int i = 0; i < gdview.Rows.Count; i++)
{
string labeldetail = "";
CheckBox cbox = (CheckBox)gdview.Rows[i].Cells[0].FindControl("CheckBox1");
if (cbox != null)
{
if (cbox.Checked == true)
{
int rowsNo = (Convert.ToInt16(city.ToolTip) - 1); //Convert.ToInt16(SrNo);
labeldetail = ((Label)gdview.Rows[rowsNo].FindControl("labelid")).Value;
}

Setting the SelectedIndex on ComboBox

I am in a beginning C# class and I am having trouble figuring out why after the following code runs, the selected index is still -1 (i.e. the combobox at load is empty). It should be defaulting to selectedIndex = 1:
public string[,] GetArray()
{
//create array with conversion values
string[,] conversionInfo = { {"Miles","Kilometers", "1.6093"},
{"Kilometers","Miles", ".6214"},
{"Feet","Meters", ".3048"},
{"Meters","Feet","3.2808"},
{"Inches","Centimeters", "2.54"},
{"Centimeters","Inches",".3937"}};
return conversionInfo;
}
private void Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//get array to use
string[,] conversionChoices = GetArray();
//load conversion combo box with values
StringBuilder fillString = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < conversionChoices.GetLength(0); i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < conversionChoices.GetLength(1) - 1; j++)
{
fillString.Append(conversionChoices[i, j]);
if (j == 0)
{
fillString.Append(" to ");
}
}
cboConversion.Items.Add(fillString);
fillString.Clear();
}
//set default selected value for combobox
cboConversion.SelectedIndex = 0;
}
public void cboConversions_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LabelSet(cboConversion.SelectedIndex);
}
public void LabelSet(int selection)
{
//get array to use
string[,] labelChoices = GetArray();
//set labels to coorespond with selection
string from = labelChoices[selection, 0];
string to = labelChoices[selection, 1];
lblFrom.Text = from + ":";
lblTo.Text = to + ":";
}
This is a class assignment so I am not allowed to set anything using the designer, other than to link methods to event. Everything works correctly except for the default for the combobox.
Your code is completely correct, but you have one single fault in your mind. Consider, that you are loading the items into the ComboBox after you have initialized the control. At this point the control have no items, therefore the property "Text" is not setted automatically.
You have to differ between the SelectedIndex, which is the index of the item in the list of items, and the Text, which is the text, shown in the ComboBox. So think about when and how you should set the Text-property of the ComboBox.
Always set the Text-property to the first value of your item-list, after you changed it.
Greetings,
the answer of Mario can be interpreted also as:
put your code after the loading (example: on the shown event), in this way the control is initialized and has items.

Loading, Updating and displaying Generic List Class

Goal in mind, the concept is kind of like a shopping cart, so as they add items to list(Detail) it keeps the items they are adding in memory.
This works when ever I first load the list(grid) and add more rows. But if I set the first row and set the item and price and then decide to add 3 more rows then
the info I had added gets deleted instead of keeping its values and just load more lines to the list which would repopulate the gridview.
In the past I have done this with datatables but I want to be able to move from that and use this List Class
Also I have it set as viewstate so I can use it through out my page.
private ListArDocumentdetail Detail
{
get
{
ListArDocumentdetail _detail = new ListArDocumentdetail();
if (ViewState["Detail"] != null)
{
_detail = (ListArDocumentdetail)ViewState["Detail"];
}
return _detail;
}
set
{
ViewState["Detail"] = value;
}
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//creates 2 rows to start off
CreateRows(2);
}
public void CreateRows(int rowstoadd)
{
int newtotalrows = Detail.Count + rowstoadd - 1;
for (int i = Detail.Count; i <= newtotalrows; i++)
{
ArDocumentdetail detail = new ArDocumentdetail();
detail.Lineid = i;
detail.Itemid = 0;
detail.Quantity = 1;
if (Detail.Count > 0)
Detail.Insert(Detail.Count, detail);
else
Detail.Add(detail);
Detail = Detail;
}
gvInvoiceDetail.DataSource = Detail;
gvInvoiceDetail.DataBind();
GridViewRow row = gvInvoiceDetail.Rows[gvInvoiceDetail.Rows.Count - 1];
ImageButton btnAdd = (ImageButton)row.FindControl("btnAdd");
btnAdd.Visible = true;
}
protected void ibAdd_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
//user can type in how many rows they want to add on to current amount of rows
//so since grid starts off at 2 and they type 3 the grid refreshes with 5 rows.
CreateRows(Convert.ToInt32(txtRows.Text));
}
protected void UpdateRow(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ImageButton btnUpdate = sender as ImageButton;
GridViewRow row = btnUpdate.NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
TextBox txtPrice = (TextBox)row.FindControl("txtPrice");
TextBox txtQuantity = (TextBox)row.FindControl("txtQuantity");
DropDownList ddlDescription = (DropDownList)row.FindControl("ddlDescription");
int index = Detail.FindIndex(f => f.Lineid == row.RowIndex);
Detail[index].Itemid = Convert.ToInt32(ddlDescription.SelectedValue);
Detail[index].Price = Convert.ToDecimal(txtPrice.Text);
Detail[index].Subtotal = Convert.ToDecimal(Detail[index].Price * Convert.ToInt32(txtQuantity.Text));
}
I can suggest you the logic:
Push a list into viewstate say Viewstate["List"],
Let a user chose an item. Then List list = (List)Viewstate["List"];
Add the selected item to List list. i.e. list.Add(item);
Now push the item back to viewstate. Viewstate["list"] = list;
Bind it to grid or display it on page. Whatever you want.

FormView_Load being overwritten C# ASP.NET

I've got a formview whose load event just decided to stop working. I did some debugging and noticed that it was reaching the code, but for whatever reason, the attributes that I am adding in the load event are no longer displaying on the screen. It's as if something is happening after the formview's load event that is reloading it without any of my extra attributes. The only modification that I have done before it stopped working is that I added a session variable in the page before it. That should not cause such a drastic change.
Here is my code:
protected void FormView1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RadioButton rbinjury = (RadioButton)FormView1.FindControl("rbinjury");
RadioButton rbproperty = (RadioButton)FormView1.FindControl("rbproperty");
RadioButton rbboth = (RadioButton)FormView1.FindControl("rbboth");
RadioButton rbyes = (RadioButton)FormView1.FindControl("rbyes");
RadioButton rbno = (RadioButton)FormView1.FindControl("rbno");
RadioButton rbyes2 = (RadioButton)FormView1.FindControl("rbyes2");
RadioButton rbno2 = (RadioButton)FormView1.FindControl("rbno2");
RadioButton rbam = (RadioButton)FormView1.FindControl("rbam");
RadioButton rbpm = (RadioButton)FormView1.FindControl("rbpm");
TextBox txtdate = (TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("txtdate");
DropDownList ddlhour = (DropDownList)FormView1.FindControl("ddlhour");
DropDownList ddltime = (DropDownList)FormView1.FindControl("ddltime");
if (FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Insert || FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Edit)
{
txtdate.Attributes.Add("onfocus", "unfocus();");
locList.Attributes.Add("onChange", "postBack();");
ddlhour.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Hour", "0"));
ddlhour.Items.Insert(1, new ListItem("12", "12"));
ddltime.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Minute", "0"));
for (int i = 1; i < 12; i++)
{
String hour = Convert.ToString(i);
ddlhour.Items.Add(new ListItem(hour, hour));
}
for (int i = 0; i < 61; i++)
{
String time = "";
if (i < 10)
{
time = ":0" + Convert.ToString(i);
}
else
{
time = ":" + Convert.ToString(i);
}
ddltime.Items.Add(new ListItem(time, time));
}
//-----------------------------------------handle radio buttons----------------------------------------------------------------
rbinjury.Attributes.Add("Onclick", "radio('rbinjury','result');");
rbproperty.Attributes.Add("Onclick", "radio('rbproperty','result');");
rbboth.Attributes.Add("Onclick", "radio('rbboth','result');");
rbyes.Attributes.Add("Onclick", "radio('rbyes','inj');");
rbno.Attributes.Add("Onclick", "radio('rbno','inj');");
rbyes2.Attributes.Add("Onclick", "radio('rbyes2','dmg');");
rbno2.Attributes.Add("Onclick", "radio('rbno2','dmg');");
rbam.Attributes.Add("Onclick", "radio('rbam','time');");
rbpm.Attributes.Add("Onclick", "radio('rbpm','time');");
}}
Any idea what would cause the load event to stop working? If I place this same code in the page's save state complete event, it does work, but I should not have to...
you need to use formview Databound event instead of formview load event to set values, try
using this
protected void frm_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (frm.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Edit)
{
TextBox txtdate = (TextBox)frm.FindControl("txtdate");
txtdate.Attributes.Add("", "");
}
}
