So here I'm trying to populate my dropdown list, the code behind is as below:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(CommonFunctions.GetAppDBConnection(Constants.AppID, Constants.TMDDBConnection));
con.Open();
SqlCommand mycommand = new SqlCommand("select * from MSUnit", con);
SqlDataReader ddlvalues = mycommand.ExecuteReader();
ddlTransactionCategory.DataSource = ddlvalues;
ddlTransactionCategory.DataTextField = "categoryCode";
ddlTransactionCategory.DataValueField = "OrgID";
ddlTransactionCategory.DataBind();
mycommand.Connection.Close();
mycommand.Connection.Dispose();
}
the problem is, I can't seem to get it to work, any help? and is this code doing it right?
plz try below code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(CommonFunctions.GetAppDBConnection(Constants.AppID, Constants.TMDDBConnection));
con.Open();
SqlCommand mycommand = new SqlCommand("select * from MSUnit", con);
SqlDataAdapter adp =new SqlDataAdapter(mycommand);
DataSet ds =new DataSet();
adp.Fill(ds);
ddlTransactionCategory.DataSource = ds;
ddlTransactionCategory.DataTextField = "categoryCode";
ddlTransactionCategory.DataValueField = "OrgID";
ddlTransactionCategory.DataBind();
mycommand.Connection.Close();
mycommand.Connection.Dispose();
}
Thanks, Hitesh
Can't bind to a SqlDataReader (or at least I've never tried it). Get a DataTable or a DataSet instead, fill it and then bind that to the dropdown the same way.
Use SqlDataAdataper like the one below
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(CommonFunctions.GetAppDBConnection(Constants.AppID, Constants.TMDDBConnection)))
{
con.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from MSUnit", con);
DataTable dt = new DataTable
da.Fill(dt)
ddlTransactionCategory.DataSource = dt;
ddlTransactionCategory.DataTextField = "categoryCode";
ddlTransactionCategory.DataValueField = "OrgID";
ddlTransactionCategory.DataBind();
}
if you want to use DataReader you must insert one-by-one.
while (ddlvalues.Read())
{
ddlTransactionCategory.Items.Add(new ListItem(ddlvalues.getString("OrgID"),ddlvalues.getString("categoryCode")))
}
