| Hi,
today in the class, i was asked how to bind the dropdownlist to a sqldatasource, as wells as adding some static items. It is easy, you set the AppendDataBoundItems property of the dropdownlist to true, and add your static item., an example is below: there is a dropdownlist binded to sqldatasource which gets the categories from the northwind database, and also a static listitem is added to the dropdownlist. you can also see, how we can use requiredfieldvalidator :
[php]
ropDownList ID="listCategories" runat="server"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="CategoryName"
DataValueField="CategoryID" AppendDataBoundItems="True">
ropDownList>
Text="(Required)" ControlToValidate="listCategories" runat="server" />
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [CategoryID], [CategoryName] FROM [Categories]">
[/php]

| | Thanks Volkan! But, why the [php]? Are those tags for VS2008? Will you be posting your slides from Weeks 4 and 5 here too? I will post my application soon, but I've been busy at work lately (conversion headaches). It is working, but I want to do some cleanup before I post it. Steve P.S. You are to be commended for doing an excellent job of teaching us ASP.NET. I have already gained much insight and have been able to leverage what I already know in Delphi, Java, and Oracle toward C#, ASP.NET, and SQL Server. I personally feel the class has been worth my time.
