Hi there,
First of all thnanks for great website and tutorials and examples.
I learn a lot from here about asp.net.
Now I am using the multiple selection dropdown with the help of your code and dll dropdowncheckboxes.
I need to bind that with data base, but the dropdown does not show it.
The code i am using is as follows:
private void PopulateCountries()
{
String strQuery = "select ID, countryName from CountryTable order by countryName";
using (OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["globe"].ConnectionString))
{
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand())
{
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = strQuery;
cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
ddlCountry.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader();
ddlCountry.DataTextField = "countryName";
ddlCountry.DataValueField = "ID";
ddlCountry.DataBind();
con.Close();
}
}
}
ASP.net client side looks likes this:
<asp:DropDownCheckBoxes ID="ddlCountry" runat="server" Width="180px" UseSelectAllNode = "false">
<Style SelectBoxWidth="195" DropDownBoxBoxWidth="160" DropDownBoxBoxHeight="90" />
</asp:DropDownCheckBoxes>
Hope you can guide me through this.
Thanks
