Introduction:
In
this article I will explain how to bind data to dropdownlist in inside of
gridview in asp.net.
Description:
In previous post I explained article how to bind data to textbox control in gridview in asp.net. Now I will
explain how to bind data to dropdownlist in inside of gridview in asp.net.
To
implement this concept
first design tables in your database as explained in this post populate dropdown based on another dropdown in asp.net . After
that design your aspx page like this
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1"
runat="server">
<title>Asp.net Bind Data to Dropdownlist in inside of gridview</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1"
runat="server">
<div>
<asp:GridView ID="gvUserInfo"
runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="false"
OnRowDataBound="gvUserInfo_RowDataBound"
>
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#df5015" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="White" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="CountryId" HeaderText="CountryId" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="CountryName" HeaderText="CountryName" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Location">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCity"
runat="server"
Width="100px"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
|
Now
add following namespaces in codebehind
C# Code
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
|
After
that add following code in code behind
SqlConnection con =new SqlConnection("Data
Source=SureshDasari;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MySampleDB");
protected void
Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindGridview();
}
}
// This method is used to bind
gridview from database
protected void
BindGridview()
{
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select
TOP 4 CountryId,CountryName from Country", con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
con.Close();
gvUserInfo.DataSource = ds;
gvUserInfo.DataBind();
}
protected void
gvUserInfo_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
con.Open();
var ddl = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddlCity");
int CountryId = Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.Cells[0].Text);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select
* from State where CountryID=" + CountryId, con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
con.Close();
ddl.DataSource = ds;
ddl.DataTextField = "StateName";
ddl.DataValueField = "StateID";
ddl.DataBind();
ddl.Items.Insert(0, new
ListItem("--Select--",
"0"));
}
}
|
VB.NET Code
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls
Partial Class VBCode
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Private con As New SqlConnection("Data
Source=SureshDasari;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MySampleDB")
Protected Sub
Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
BindGridview()
End If
End Sub
' This method is used to bind
gridview from database
Protected Sub
BindGridview()
con.Open()
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select
TOP 4 CountryId,CountryName from Country", con)
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds)
con.Close()
gvUserInfo.DataSource = ds
gvUserInfo.DataBind()
End Sub
Protected Sub
gvUserInfo_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
GridViewRowEventArgs)
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
con.Open()
Dim ddl = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("ddlCity"), DropDownList)
Dim CountryId As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.Cells(0).Text)
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select
* from State where CountryID=" & CountryId, con)
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds)
con.Close()
ddl.DataSource = ds
ddl.DataTextField = "StateName"
ddl.DataValueField = "StateID"
ddl.DataBind()
ddl.Items.Insert(0, New
ListItem("--Select--", "0"))
End If
End Sub
End Class

hi sir,
this is bharath.
i want to populate data in dropdownlist in asp gridview,from sql server data table only.
ex: i am having table country,and i am inserting data to states table with using country name, and i want to populate country data in dropdownlist in aspgridview in states form....,
very nice and easy to understand...

I did in the above way,
but i am facing the problem is that when grid page index is changed , the selected value of drop down is missing
use AutoPostBack="true" where dropdownlist declared
I am getting error like:
Multiple controls with the same ID 'One' were found. FindControl requires that controls have unique IDs.
What I have to do?
