GridView With Ascending Drop Down List
Apr 16, 2008
Currently I have a small page that includes a drop down list with about 120 possible choices to chose from.
The list works fine, however, the choices are not sorted ascending/alphabetical order. So it is very slow searching for
the selection you want.
See the link.
http://visualboxscore.com/boxscores/cfb_box_scores.aspx
Does anyone have any easy solution for this problem?
Below is the code I am using.
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<html>
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>Visualboxscore.com - College Football Box score Query page</title>
</head>

protected void BulletedList1_Click(object sender, BulletedListEventArgs e)
{
TabContainer1.Visible = true;
pnlClientChosen.Visible = true;
pnlNewClient.Visible = false;
ListItem li = BulletedList1.Items[e.Index];
} I have a bulleted list tied to a table, and on click the selectedValue of the bulleted list populates a datagrid. Heres my code:
<asp:BulletedList ID="BulletedList1" runat="server" BulletStyle="Disc" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
DataTextField="LNAME" DataValueField="DEM_ID" DisplayMode="LinkButton" OnClick="BulletedList1_Click">
</asp:BulletedList><asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:csAHECData %>"SelectCommand="SELECT [LNAME], [FNAME], [MNAME], [DEM_ID] FROM [Demog_TOB] ORDER BY [LNAME], [FNAME], [MNAME]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
And then for the datagrid:
<asp:Panel ID="pnlClientChosen" runat="server">
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2">
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:csAHECData %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [DEM_ID], [LNAME], [FNAME], [MNAME], [ADDR1], [ADDR2], [CITY], [STATE], [ZIPCODE], [COUNTY], [Gender] FROM [Demog_TOB] WHERE ([DEM_ID] = @DEM_ID)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="BulletedList1" Name="DEM_ID" PropertyName="SelectedValue"
Type="Int64" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
</asp:Panel>
On Bulleted list select I have this code:
protected void BulletedList1_Click(object sender, BulletedListEventArgs e)
{
TabContainer1.Visible = true;
pnlClientChosen.Visible = true;
ListItem li = BulletedList1.Items[e.Index];
}
I have no idea whats wrong but when I click on the bulleted list , the pnlClientChosen becomes visible (which contains the data gridview); but there is no gridview available. There isn't even column names. One thing that struck me as odd is when I created the datasource and I created the Where statement, when I selected control as ""Where Dem_ID = a control" and I set the control to bulletedlist1, there were three listings for bulletedlist1. In fact, there were three listings for each control on this page.
Thanks in advance, I hope I explained this well but I'm in a hurry right now.

In my drop down menus - which are populated by tables - we can only use the scroll bar OR type in the first letter to find the item - Is there a way to type in several letters to find something? (e.g. if I want to find clockwork - right now I could type in "C" to get to the C's - but if I tried typing "clo" it would end up at the beginning of the "O's" - Thanks

Hello,
I am using SSRS 2005 SP2 and I need to allow my users to select the products they want in the report.
I created a data set to get the list of the products and then used it in a multivalue parameter to generate a drop down list.
My problem is that the list is too long (more than 2000 elements) and thus, it takes 10 sec to collapse the drop down list after tickinging the products.
Does anyone have an miraculous solution?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I was wondering if anyone may be familiar with a way to create a dropdown list that included a list of SQLServers. Basically I want to create a little application that lets a user point to an instance of sql server, similar to enterprise manager. I wanted to use C# and figured there may be some namespaces I could use that provide this functionality but was not sure.
Thanks,

I am using Visual Studio 2005 to create a report from a OLAP cube.
I am building a drop down list for user to select the desired branch. My mdx query as follow:
with
member [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS '[Company].[Branch].Currentmember.Member_Caption'
member [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS '[Company].[Branch].Currentmember.Uniquename'
select
{[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue]} on columns,
{[Company].[Branch].ALLMEMBERS} on rows
from [Profit And Loss]
I would like to add a blank row in the result set, such that I can consider that as selecting ALL Branch
Any suggestions on what should I do?

I have a drop down list that is populated by a stored procedure which has two int parameters (ID, STATUS). I need to default the drop down list to a value in the database that is associated to the ID & STATUS parameters.
The problem I am having is that it only works if the selected value is the first record on the drop down list. for any other records (outside the first record) from the drop down list i get "The 'SelectedIndex' and 'SelectedValue' attributes are mutually exclusive."
Here is the stored procedure I am using to populate the drop down list:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_SelectName]
(
@pId Int,
@pStatus Int
)
AS
BEGIN
IF @pId = -1 --THIS VALUE IS USED AS DEFAULT (NOT POSTBACK)
[Code] ....
Here is the TABLE_NAMES that holds the data for the drop down list:
IN_ID IN_NAMESTATUS
6 New 0
4 Generic 0
3 Local 1
4 Storm 0
This is the TABLE_2 that holds the complete collected FORM data that has the selected record IN_ID from the TABLE_NAME:
ID STATUS IN_ID
111906
114406
114505
114606
114706

I was trying to write an expression someting like this.
(CASE WHEN (GroupVar2 IN('CBank','DTC', 'EDirect')) THEN GroupVar2 ELSE 'InstLend' END) AS COALESCE(GroupVar2,'Total') AS GroupVar2
In GroupVar2 column, following values are available;
CBank
DTC
EDirect
InstLend
Inst-Load
I use this for a parameter in my report. I want to consider inst-Load as the same as InstLend. In drop down menu , I should see only InstLend. When I select it, I should get summation of InstLend and Inst-Load.
Also I should see 'Total' as one of the available value. So when I select total it should give me summation of all of above.
Can anyone help me to write this corretly?
Thanks

is this even possible in reporting services? I already deployed reports for our client using Reporting Services 2000, one of their complaints was that the dropdownlist of the reports contains a very long list of data, this list cannot be shorten since all data are required. Is there a way to let the users type in characters, not only one character to find the exact data they want. The data in the drop down list are needed because these data are parameters.
Are there any web based reporting tools which can provide this kind of requirement?

I created a report with a school parameter for all our schools in SQL report. The school parameter gets it's value from a query. The report is generated based on the selection made by the user. If user choose school "A", report is generated for school "A" and if user choose school "B" report is generated for school "B".
I am using a centralized user id and password for all users. A report URL (report link) is sent to user to access the report.
Currently, from the school parameter (school drop-down list) users from any school may/can choose report for other schools other than theirs schoos. The content of the report is sensitive and we do not want anyone to see anyone else report.
I want to create a user based security, so based on the user id for school "A", he/she will only be able to see school "A" report but nothing else.
I was trying to accomplish this by creating linked report but it does not look realistic to create a folder for each school on the report server (which means about 180 or more folder for all our schools ). Does anyone else have better suggestions what can/should I do?

Here's my setup:
1) SSRS in native mode
2) 2012
3) I have "Browser, Content Manager, My Reports, Publisher, Report Builder" permissions on the folder that has the report
I can't see the drop down list associated with the report that's hosted inside the folder. Here's what I mean by drop down list -- the one that lists things like: properties, subscribe, etc. In other words If i click on that dropdown arrow, I don't see the list.

I have an SSIS package created on SQL Server 2005. I have moved this to a SQL Server 2008 R2 server and amended the package on this new server to point at the correct databases.
The package runs manually. However, I cannot see the package when trying to schedule a job. The dropdown list does not contain the package.
I imported the package by right clicking on MSDB and selecting the package from the file system. The package then appears under this folder (SQL Server Integration Services). I then create the SQL job but cannot see the package I just created.

I'm writing my first SSIS custom task. I have added Public properties, which appear in the standard task properties window, and to one of them I have added an EditorAttribute as follows:
<Category("General"), _
Browsable(True), _
EditorAttribute(GetType(UIFileNameEditor), _
GetType(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))> _
Public Property FilesToArchive() As String
[Code] ....
When I select the FilesToArchive property in the Properties window, I get an ellipsis that appears in the property value. When I click on the ellipsis, it brings up the FolderBrowserDialog, which is defined in the UIFileNameEditor class. This all works fine.
What I want to do is to bring up the EditorUI, the one you get when you double click on the task, and also populate that with properties which can be edited. I have a class which inherits DTSBaseTaskUI, which is displayed when I double click on the task.
I can also get properties to be displayed in that UI but I cannot get them to be editable in that UI, using the same technique as in the standard Properties window, as described above.

I am trying to install the MS SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster on Windows Server 2012 . I successfully Installed the Failover cluster instance on my primary node.
But when I am running the installation process on passive node to add node in the failover cluster I am stuck with very unique kind of issue.
I am following the Standard process of Installation and I am getting the same windows for each next process, but after License Agreement window when I get the Cluster Node Configuration window, then in "SQL Server Instance Name" drop down box I am not getting the Name of Instance which is already installed on the primary node. But this Instance complete information is appearing in below given box.
Only issue is Instance name is not appearing in the drop down list, that's why I am not able to select and when I click on next it trough error and do not proceed.

I am writing my first custom SSIS task and I can see that, if I put a public property into the task, I see that property in the standard Properties window. If I add a property of type String, I can put a value in that property, in the task code, and when I instantiate the task in a package, I can see the value I entered.
To try and get a drop down list property in the Properties window, I declared a property of type Combobox, and indeed a drop down list appears in that property.
My problem is trying to get values in that property. I have used the test items:
Property.Items.add("Fred")
Property.Items.Add("Jim")
But I do not see the values in the drop down list. All I do see is one item with a value of "(none)".

Hi, I am seeking a hopefully easy solution to spit back an error message when a user receives no results from a SQL server db with no results. My code looks like this What is in bold is the relevant subroutine for this problem I'm having. Partial Class collegedb_Default Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub submit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submit.Click SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [college_db] WHERE [name] like '%" & textbox1.Text & "%'" SqlDataSource1.DataBind() If (SqlDataSource1 = System.DBNull) Then no_match.Text = "Your search returned no results, try looking manually." End If End Sub Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [college_db] ORDER BY [name]" SqlDataSource1.DataBind() End Sub Protected Sub reset_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles reset.Click SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [college_db] ORDER BY [name]" SqlDataSource1.DataBind() End SubEnd Class I'm probably doing this completely wrong, I'm a .net newb. Any help would be appreciated. Basically I have GridView spitting out info from a db upon Page Load, but i also have a search bar above that. The search function works, but when it returns nothing, I want an error message to be displayed. I have a label setup called "no_match" but I'm getting compiler errors. Also, next to the submit button, I also have another button (Protected sub reset) that I was hoping to be able to return all results back on the page, similar to if a user is just loading the page fresh. I'd think that my logic would be OK, by just repeating the source code from page_load, but that doens't work.The button just does nothing. One final question, unrelated. After I set this default.aspx page up, sorting by number on the bottom of gridview, ie. 1,2,3,4, etc, worked fine. But now that paging feature, as long with the sorting headers, don't work! I do notice on the status bar in the browser, that I receive an error that says, "error on page...and it referers to javascript:_doPostBack('GridView1, etc etc)...I have no clue why this happened. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.

Hi,
have uncovered a curious problem with sort ascending in tables.
In a table I'm grouping on CONTRACT_ID field. The grouping works fine but the sort acending on CONTRACT_ID doesn't.
Here are the actual contract id's I have to sort:
0202018B
0202019C
0202020G
0202021H
0202022J
0202023K
0202800B
The above list is how the Crystal Report I'm converting does this sort - i.e. the normal, common sense, intuitive answer.
Here's how SSRS does the sort:
0202022J
0202021H
0202019C
0202800B
0202018B
0202023K
0202020G
i.e. a completely non-intuitive, non common-sense answer!
I can probably solve this by stripping the last character and converting to int via an expression, but why does one get a completely non-sensical answer with the standard values? What is the logic by which Microsoft have implemented sorting. It seems very odd to me. Can anyone shed any light on this?
thanking you in advance,
cheers,
rob
