Dropdownlist selected Item

[Rajiya]

hi, I have a DropdownList called as ddItems.I am populating this dropdown with the Item names from the Database.I have a textbox called as txtName. Now I want to display the name of the Item in the textBox txtname depending on the value selected from the dropdownlist box ddlItems. The code i am using is string selvalue = ddlItems.SelectedItem.Value; txtName.Text = selvalue; But it always displays the first value from the dropdownlist in the textbox. Plz help me.I am using ASP.Net and C#. Riz -- modified at 0:56 Tuesday 28th February, 2006

You can write a small function js code to hook on Onchange event of drop down list then, in the function, just simply get the selected value from drop down list and assign to the text box << >>

Hi, I guess you forgot to put the IsPostBack check in ur page load event that's why it populating your combobox during everypost back and ur getting the first value... Regards, Ritesh

Hi, how ur populating dropdownlist, 1st check that one. if u r populating at page_load, plz write ur code under this condition if(!IsPostBack) { //populate ur DropDownList } then u can write string selvalue = ddlItems.SelectedItem.Value; txtName.Text = selvalue; in SelectIndexChanged event. Bye Pessi

Hi, I think it will work when you enable the AutopostBack Property of the dropDownList. And check the IsPostBack Condition on PageLoad funciton if (IsPostBack) { TextBox1.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text; } else { .. .. } Thanks Max

and don't add javascript to manage the drop down list. thats a no-no!:confused: 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!
