Your problem is that you dynamicly add the button to your form. If the postback then comes back, your page has no idea about the button because it gets created in your page_load.
You should look into using a gridview or simular control for keeping lists.

Textbox value doesn't change on button click event in asp.net C#

I'm stuck with a problem where i can't get the values of any control not just textboxes in button click event so here is the scenario, You can skip it and just can look into my button click event
Page product is performing 2 operations
Create
Update
When a user clicks Edit on GridView in updpage It will redirects it to Product Page to update, Same page is performing Create product operation too, So when I receive QueryString value I'll update the product table and when I won't so I just perform Create operation.
Now I'm stuck when there is no QueryString value so textboxes are updating with a new values but when there is, so they don't give me a new value.
Here is my code
On pageLoad Event I'm filling text boxes with there respective values
where there is an update operation
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Request.QueryString["update"] !=null)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{

bindbrands();
}
int id = int.Parse(Request.QueryString["update"]);
string query = "SELECT * FROM ProductView WHERE id = " + id.ToString();
DataTable dtupd = new DataTable();
dtupd = param.All_data(query);
string name = "",available="",category="",brand="",achievement="",image="";
decimal price=0;
int unit = 0;
foreach (DataRow row in dtupd.Rows)
{
name = row.Field<string>("product_name");
price = row.Field<decimal>("price");
unit = row.Field<int>("unit");
image = row.Field<string>("product_image");
available = row.Field<string>("available");
category = row.Field<string>("category_name");
brand = row.Field<string>("brand_name");
achievement = row.Field<string>("achievement");
}

Before Clicking update button
Before clicking update button
After I updated text box values respectively and when click button Upload None of my server control value changes. Here it is
Watching local variable
But in case of Creating Product it works

Saad, i think the error is in the page_load event. If in your querystring the update param is not null, then you are always replacing the textboxes with the data of your DB.
Your code should be like this
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Request.QueryString["update"] !=null)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
bindcategories();
bindachievments();
bindbrands();
int id = int.Parse(Request.QueryString["update"]);
string query = "SELECT * FROM ProductView WHERE id = " + id.ToString();
DataTable dtupd = new DataTable();
dtupd = param.All_data(query);
string name = "",available="",category="",brand="",achievement="",image="";
decimal price=0;
int unit = 0;
foreach (DataRow row in dtupd.Rows)
{
name = row.Field<string>("product_name");
price = row.Field<decimal>("price");
unit = row.Field<int>("unit");
image = row.Field<string>("product_image");
available = row.Field<string>("available");
category = row.Field<string>("category_name");
brand = row.Field<string>("brand_name");
achievement = row.Field<string>("achievement");
}
txt_name.Text = name;
txt_price.Text = price.ToString();
txt_unit.Text = unit.ToString();
product_image.ImageUrl = "../" + image;
dd_available.ClearSelection();
dd_available.SelectedValue = available;
dd_category.ClearSelection();
dd_category.Items.FindByText(category).Selected = true;
dd_brand.ClearSelection();
dd_brand.Items.FindByText(brand).Selected = true;
dd_achievment.ClearSelection();
dd_achievment.Items.FindByText(achievement).Selected = true;
btn_Insert.Text = "Update Product";
}
}
else
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
bindcategories();
bindbrands();
bindachievments();
}
if (!FileUpload1.HasFile)
{
product_image.ImageUrl = "../assets/images/products/default.png";
}
}
}
Hope it helps...

Dropdownlist not showing correct selected value in ASP.NET Repeater Web application

I have a few ASP.NET Repeaters that have drop down lists in them and they all need to be populated with the correct information and then display the selected value for each data row it is displaying. In one repeater (CompanyRepeater), the correct selected value is chosen. In another repeater (SoldRepeater), the correct selected value is NOT chosen. So the drop down list in CompanyRepeater does work but the one in SoldRepeater does not work. The code is the same for both repeaters and I cannot figure out why the second one is not working. Both drop down lists populate with the correct information but the second repeater does not display the correct selected value. Please help me figure out why the correct selected value is not being selected. Below is my code. Please let me know if there is anymore information needed to help me. Any help is much appreciated. First is my front end code.

IMHO, your method of setting the selected value is rather cumbersome. This entire section of code:
for (int i = 0; i < ddl.Items.Count; i++)
{
if (x == Convert.ToInt32(ddl.Items[i].Value))
{
ddl.Items[i].Selected = true;
//i = 9;
}
else
{
ddl.Items[i].Selected = false;
}
}
Can be replaced with a single line:
ddl.SelectedValue = x.ToString();
In addition, once you do find the matching value you continue to loop on the items, rather than exiting out of the loop.
Try these changes, they may solve the problem for you.
A few other items that I noticed:
The code to retrieve the SoldToType is called for each item in the
repeater. I would suggest retrieving this data once and referencing
it for each item, rather than going to the db each time.
Your SQL code is wide open to SQL injection. Use parameterized queries, like so:
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT StateName, StateID FROM States WHERE Country_ID = #CountryID";
...
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("CountryID", ddl.SelectedValue);

Show Table when SelectedValue of DropDownList is true C#

I want to show a table when a SelectedValue of my DropDownList ddlKlasse is true. I'm using asp.net empty web forms with a masterpage.
The idea is:
when ddlKlasse.SelectedValue = "2" table tblDubbelTwee must be shown
when ddlKlasse.SelectedValue = "5" table tblVierMet must be shown
when ddlKlasse.SelectedValue = "9" table tblAchtMet must be shown
I get the values in my dropdownlist from my database.
The code I have now is:
In my Page_Load:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
BindDropDownListKlasse();
BindDropDownListVereniging();
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
tblDubbelTwee.Visible = false;
tblVierMet.Visible = false;
tblAchtMet.Visible = false;
}
}
For binding the dropdown:
private void BindDropDownListKlasse()
{
try
{
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
{
using (SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand())
{
com.CommandText = "SELECT DISTINCT AantalDeelnemers, Naam FROM Klasse;";
com.Connection = conn;
conn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(com);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
ddlKlasse.DataSource = dt;
ddlKlasse.DataValueField = "AantalDeelnemers";
ddlKlasse.DataTextField = "Naam";
ddlKlasse.DataBind();
conn.Close();
//Adding "Kies de klasse" optie in dropdownlist voor validatie
ddlKlasse.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Kies de klasse", "0"));
}
}
}
catch
{
}
}
For showing the tables:
protected void ddlKlasse_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ListItem selectedListItemDubbelTwee = ddlKlasse.Items.FindByValue("2");
if (selectedListItemDubbelTwee != null)
{
selectedListItemDubbelTwee.Selected = true;
tblDubbelTwee.Visible = true;
tblVierMet.Visible = false;
tblAchtMet.Visible = false;
};
ListItem selectedListItemVierMet = ddlKlasse.Items.FindByValue("5");
if (selectedListItemVierMet != null)
{
selectedListItemVierMet.Selected = true;
tblVierMet.Visible = true;
tblDubbelTwee.Visible = false;
tblAchtMet.Visible = false;
};
ListItem selectedListItemAchtMet = ddlKlasse.Items.FindByValue("9");
if (selectedListItemAchtMet != null)
{
selectedListItemAchtMet.Selected = true;
tblAchtMet.Visible = true;
tblDubbelTwee.Visible = false;
tblVierMet.Visible = false;
};
}
My DropDownList:
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlKlasse" class="form-control" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlKlasse_SelectedIndexChanged"></asp:DropDownList>
</div>
</div>
One of my tables:
<asp:Table ID="tblDubbelTwee" runat="server" class="table">
<asp:TableHeaderRow>
<asp:TableHeaderCell>Naam</asp:TableHeaderCell>
<asp:TableHeaderCell>Email</asp:TableHeaderCell>
<asp:TableHeaderCell>Lidmaatschapsnr</asp:TableHeaderCell>
</asp:TableHeaderRow>
<asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtNaam" type="text" class="form-control" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" type="text" class="form-control" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtLidmaatschapsnr" type="text" class="form-control" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</asp:TableCell>
</asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtNaam2" type="text" class="form-control" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail2" type="text" class="form-control" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtLidmaatschapsnr2" type="text" class="form-control" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</asp:TableCell>
</asp:TableRow>
</asp:Table>
But when I run my project and select a field in my DropDownList it gives the error: System.Web.HttpException: Selecting multiple items in a DropDownList is not allowed.
Can you please help me to solve this problem?

Your current handler for DDL index change is doing something very different from what you have described. It basically checks if the list item exists in the ddl list (no matter selected or not) and then tries to select it. Since all of 3 items exist, you are effectively trying to select 3 items, which is not allowed.
What you might be looking for is a switch by selected value:
switch (ddlKlasse.SelectValue)
{
case "2":
tblDubbelTwee.Visible = true;
tblVierMet.Visible = false;
tblAchtMet.Visible = false;
break;
case "5": //similar here
case "9": //similar here
default:
// exception or something
}

refere this code
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
bindgrid();
}
}
void bindgrid()
{
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select DISTINCT Class from addmitionform1", con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
con.Close();
ddlclass.DataSource = ds;
ddlclass.DataTextField = "Class";
ddlclass.DataValueField = "Class";
ddlclass.DataBind();
ddlclass.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select--", "0"));
}
protected void ddlKlasse_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string id = (ddlclass.SelectedValue.ToString());
con.Close();
SqlDataAdapter da1 = new SqlDataAdapter("Select id,FirstName from addmitionform1 where Class= '" + id + "'", con);
//SqlDataAdapter da1 = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * from addmitionform1 ", con);
DataSet ds1 = new DataSet();
da1.Fill(ds1);
GridView1.DataSource = ds1;
GridView1.DataBind();
}

First move BindDropDownListKlasse() and BindDropDownListVereniging() inside if (!IsPostBack), as HarveySpecter suggested.
And change ddlKlasse_SelectedIndexChanged() to:
protected void ddlKlasse_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool showDubbelTwee = false, showVierMet = false, showAchtMet = false;
switch (ddlKlasse.SelectedValue)
{
case "2":
showDubbelTwee = true;
break;
case "5":
showVierMet = true;
break;
case "9":
showAchtMet = true;
break;
}
tblAchtMet.Visible = showVierMet;
tblDubbelTwee.Visible = showDubbelTwee;
tblVierMet.Visible = showVierMet;
}
What you are doing now in ddlKlasse_SelectedIndexChanged() is check for each value if it's present in the dropdown, and if present select it and show the respective table.
Instead, you need to check which value is selected and show the respective table.

Clicking HyperLink causes Update Panel to perform Full PostBack?

Update panel does a full post back when I am just trying to do a partial post back. I just want to be able to update the Repeater and not update the whole page when i click the hyperlinks previous page and next page .
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PagedDataSource objpd = new PagedDataSource();
string connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["yafnet"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection mySQLconnection = new SqlConnection(connStr);
if (mySQLconnection.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
{
mySQLconnection.Open();
}
SqlCommand mySqlSelect = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM [Comments]", mySQLconnection);
mySqlSelect.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
SqlDataAdapter mySqlAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(mySqlSelect);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
mySqlAdapter.Fill(table);
objpd.DataSource = table.DefaultView;
objpd.AllowPaging = true;
objpd.PageSize = 1;
int currentPage;
if (Request.QueryString["page"] != null)
{
currentPage = Int32.Parse(Request.QueryString["page"]);
}
else
{
currentPage = 1;
}
objpd.CurrentPageIndex = currentPage - 1;
// Label1.Text = "Page " + currentPage + " of " + pds.PageCount;
if (!objpd.IsFirstPage)
{
linkPrev.NavigateUrl = Request.CurrentExecutionFilePath + "?page=" + (currentPage - 1);
}
if (!objpd.IsLastPage)
{
linkNext.NavigateUrl = Request.CurrentExecutionFilePath + "?page=" + (currentPage + 1);
}
Repeater1.DataSource = objpd;
Repeater1.DataBind();
}
This is my HTML

Hyperlink controls don't do a postback at all, they evaluate to regular links that will do a GET, not a POST.
Since it seems you want something that looks like a link, but does a postback rather than a GET, what you need is a LinkButton. It looks like a link, but acts like a button and performs a postback.

Figure I would post an answer to my own question since I figure it out with help of Servy. Hyperlinks do a Get not a post that is why my previous code above was not working. So I rework my code to include the following.
I added Two buttons
Made Event Handlers for the Two buttons to create a POST
Here is my Code might help someone
public int CurrentPage
{
get
{
// look for current page in ViewState
object o = this.ViewState["_CurrentPage"];
if (o == null)
return 0; // default to showing the first page
else
return (int)o;
}
set
{
this.ViewState["_CurrentPage"] = value;
}
}
private void updateMessage()
