I'm trying to bind a Dropdownlist to a Detailsview control in a page where the result of the second Dropdownlist depends on the first one. I could bind a single Dropdownlist to a Detailsview but if I add another Dropdownlist where the result depends on the first one the details view wont show anything unless you refresh the page.
So is there any way I could post the result of the detailsview automatically if the second dropdown is selected? I'm currently studying this but I couldnt get it.
Here's my sample code
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site1.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Search.aspx.cs" Inherits="LibrarySystem.Member.Search" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
<h3>
Search</h3>
<p>
Choose a category
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
DataSourceID="categoryDataSource" DataTextField="name"
DataValueField="categoryid">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="categoryDataSource" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LibrarySystemConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT categoryid, name FROM dbo.TblCategory">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
</p>
<p>
Choose a title
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList2" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
DataSourceID="bookDataSource" DataTextField="booktitle" DataValueField="bookid">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="bookDataSource" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LibrarySystemConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [categoryid], [booktitle], [bookid] FROM [TblBooks] WHERE ([categoryid] = @categoryid)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownList1" Name="categoryid"
PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
</p>
<p>
<asp:DetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateRows="False"
CellPadding="4" DataKeyNames="bookid" DataSourceID="bookdetailsDataSource"
ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None">
<Foote开发者_高级运维rStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />

</Fields>
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<EditRowStyle BackColor="#2461BF" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
</asp:DetailsView>
Any help would be much appreciated ;)
Thanks in advance
You have to put your Dependent dropdown datasource in the parent template field. it will be look like...
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Category">
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="categoryDataSource"
DataTextField="name" DataValueField="categoryid">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="categoryDataSource" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LibrarySystemConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT categoryid, name FROM dbo.TblCategory"></asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="bookDataSource" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LibrarySystemConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [categoryid], [booktitle], [bookid] FROM [TblBooks] WHERE ([categoryid] = @categoryid)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownList1" Name="categoryid" PropertyName="SelectedValue"
Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Title">
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList2" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="bookDataSource"
DataTextField="booktitle" DataValueField="bookid">
</asp:DropDownList>
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
