Problem with ListBox

[Vimalsoft Pty Ltd]

I even Added the Following Code at the End

//Binding the Listboxes
if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
{

        ListBox1.DataSource = ds;

        ListBox1.DataTextField = "Descr";

        ListBox1.Visible = true;

        lstbxLecturers.Visible = false;

        ListBox1.DataBind();
    }
    else
    {

        //Leave it there Way it is
        ListBox1.Visible = false;

        lstbxLecturers.Visible = true;
    }

this is to test if there are any records returned and the First true to the If statement get executed. Thank you

Does Ds populating correctly?

What about the data text field ? I have done a small prototype with ArrayList and bind the data, its working fine.

This has been Working. So for the sake of look and feel , i too these controls and Put them in an Update Panel and Add them to a table, after i did that it stopped working. the "Descr" is Correct. as i said i tried to check if the returned Dataset has records by doing this

//Binding the Listboxes
if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
{

        ListBox1.DataSource = ds;

        ListBox1.DataTextField = "Descr";

        ListBox1.Visible = true;

        lstbxLecturers.Visible = false;

        ListBox1.DataBind();
    }
    else
    {

        //Leave it there Way it is
        ListBox1.Visible = false;

        lstbxLecturers.Visible = true;
    }

And when i debug this , it says there are records, but i cant understand why dont they get populated in ListBox1 Thanks

use the following line ListBox1.Items.Add(lstbxTags.SelectedItem);

That will Work but in my case, after selecting a Value from the lstbxTags i got to the database and look for it ID , and from that , another SP is Called that will retrieve the Records based on that ID. So this is like a Filter thing. So a User will save a Filter tag with some records. Now i will be Displaying records based on that Filter Thank you

No Luck ! I didn't find issue with that, even I have tried with Dataset :( Are you generating the list box at runtime ?

Not Solved.

Meaning Populating the Listbox at run time ? Yes like this

private void Bind_Tags_List()
{

    //Bind the listbox that Contains the Tags 
    BLL.BLL obj = new BLL.BLL();

    String DB = Convert.ToString(Session\["ActiveDatabase"\]);

    try
    {

        DataSet ds = obj.Get\_Tag\_Staff\_Only(DB);

        lstbxTags.DataSource = ds;

        lstbxTags.DataTextField = "DESCR";

        lstbxTags.DataBind();


    }
    catch (SqlException ex)
    {
        lblAdminStatus.Text = ex.Message.ToString();
    }
}

I want to mean creating the List Box Control ? Are you creating the Listbox at runtime ?

No am not creating the Listbox control at runtime , but populating it at Runtime. I have Notice something String. When i select Something from the lstbxTags nothing get Displayed in the ListBox1 and when i select other Control that has no code in it in my page like a button , the ListBox1 gets Populated.

I found the Problem; the Problem is that one of my Listboxes had a Autopostback property to False. I can’t believe that I spent the whole day trying to solve this problem and change my code, but still. I think this is one of those days Thank you for your Help
