Hi There,

I am trying to use the to obtain the information from 2 listmenus, if the
user makes a selection the page is submitted and then based on the value
selected is transfererd to another page. This works ok on it's own but I
can't seem to access the actual value of the control or the option value
( <option value="6">...NT...</option>)
..
Any ideas ppl?

Heres a couple of examples. One using a dropdownlist and one using a
radiobuttonlist. It was not clear what control you were using.

HTH

Private Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim dl As DropDownList = DirectCast(sender, DropDownList)
Response.Write(dl.SelectedItem.Value)

End Sub

Private Sub RadioButtonList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim ol As RadioButtonList = DirectCast(sender, RadioButtonList)
Response.Write(ol.SelectedItem.Value)

End Sub

Hi There,

I am binding the values from a db into the list, the problem is I want to be
able to include both of the lists in a header on one page only, the page
loads correctly but when I make a selection from the list and reload the
page with the "autopostback=true" attribute the control's name is lost in
the process. Now using the property I have managed to get the control name
back but I can't access any of the option values form the list!!

Any ideas?

Moe


Public Sub BindStates()
Try
Dim myConnection as New
SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("connectionString"))
Const strSQL as String = "SELECT LocationID, '...' + Location + '...' AS
Location " & _
"FROM tbLocation ORDER BY Location"
Dim myCommand as New SqlCommand(strSQL, myConnection)
myConnection.Open()
Dim objDR as SqlDataReader
objDR = myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
lstStates.DataSource = objDR
lstStates.DataBind()
lstStates.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("-- Choose a State --","0"))

Catch ex as InvalidCastException
Status.Text = ex.ToString()

Catch ex As SqlException
Status.Text = "Database error: " & ex.message

Catch ex As Exception
Status.Text = "General error: " & ex.message
End Try

End Sub
