Add Items to DropDownList at Runtime - c#

I'm using Asp.Net with C#. I want to add Database names to DropDownList at Runtime. Here is the code.
Code Behind:
[WebMethod]
public void GetDdlList()
{
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtServer.Text.ToString()))
ServerName = txtServer.Text.ToString();
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtUnm.Text.ToString()))
UserName = txtUnm.Text.ToString();
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtPwd.Text.ToString()))
Pwd = txtPwd.Text.ToString();
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=" + ServerName + ";User ID=" + UserName + ";Password=" + Pwd);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT name FROM sys.databases";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (rdr.Read())
{
ddlDbnm.Items.Add(rdr.GetString(0).ToString());
}
conn.Close();
}
Script:
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#<%= ddlDbnm.ClientID %>').click(function () {
PageMethod.GetDdlList();
//alert('hi');
})
});
</script>
When I write GetDdlList() code on button click, it executes successfully. But I don't want to use button click. Instead I want this code to be executed when I click on DropDownList. In above example nothing is happening when I click on Dropdownlist.

You can get the click event of dropdownlist in jquery and then make an ajax call to your method. The following is the code the get click event of the dropdownlist:
$(document).ready(function () {
var isClickToLoad = true;
$('#<%= ddlDbnm.ClientID %>').click(function () {
if (isClickToLoad == false) {
//The following line is not allowing the selection changed value to persist
//But commenting it out will call the server side code just once
//i.e. when first time the dropdownlist is clicked
//You need to handle it
isClickToLoad = true;
return;
}
isClickToLoad = false;
$('#<%= ddlDbnm.ClientID %>').empty();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "Default.aspx/GetDdlList",
data: '{ }',
dataType: "json",
success: function (msg) {
var options = "";
$.each(msg.d, function (index, value) {
options = options + "<option>" + value + "</option>";
});
$('#<%= ddlDbnm.ClientID %>').html(options);
}
});
})
});
The following is the webmethod code:
[WebMethod]
public static List<string> GetDdlList()
{
//This can be your call to database. Hard-coded here for simplicity
List<string> lst = new List<string>();
lst.Add("aaa");
lst.Add("bbb");
return lst;
}
The link here details out how you can use jquery ajax in your code.
Hope this helps

You already have a click event in built with Visual Studio for the ComboBox. Right click on Combox and select properties. In Properties, click Event button (Lightening symbol) and find the event "Click" in it and double click on this even which would automatically create the click event. And you can add the above code to this event and try running it. This should help u in achieving your target. Try this and let me know if this doesnt work for you.

You can use this js to dynamic dropdownlist:
HTML:
<select>
<option>Select Something</option>
<option> </option>
<option> </option>
<option> </option>
</select>
JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function () {
var isClickToLoad = true;
$("select").click(function(e) {
if (isClickToLoad == false){
isClickToLoad = true;
return;
}
isClickToLoad = false;
$("select").empty().html("<option>Loading options</option>");
setTimeout(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'your url',
traditional: true,
dataType: "json",
data: {},
success: function(resp) {
$('select').empty();
if (resp.length > 0) {
var listItems = [];
for (var i = 0; i < resp.length; i++) {
listItems.push('<option value="' +
resp[i].Value + '">' + resp[i].Text
+ '</option>');
}
$('select').append(listItems.join(''));
}
}
});
$("select :nth-child(1)").attr("selected", "selected");
}, 500);
});
});

Jquery/Ajax autocomplete textbox not working in ASP.net

I have a text box that I am trying to have autocomplete with values from a database. The code is, however, not doing anything when I begin typing in the text box. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? The Scripts are in the head of the page.
<asp:TextBox placeholder="Search by job title" runat="server" CssClass="search" ID="searchTitle"></asp:TextBox>
<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.8.0.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.22/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
$("#searchTitle").autocomplete({
source: function (request,response) {
var param = { posting_jobPosition: $("#searchTitle").val() };
$.ajax({
url: "jobseekerHome.aspx/GetTitles",
data: JSON.stringify(param),
type: "post",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
datafilter: function (data) { return data; },
success: function (data) {
response($.map(data.d, function (item) { return {value: item }}))
},
});
},
minlength: 1
});
});
</script>
[WebMethod]
public static List<string> GetTitles(string posting_jobPosition)
{
string CS = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
OleDbConnection Connection = new OleDbConnection(CS);
List<string> Titles = new List<string>();
string query = string.Format("SELECT posting_jobPosition FROM BusinessJobPosting WHERE (posting_jobPosition LIKE '%{0}%' AND isActive = true)", posting_jobPosition);
OleDbCommand oleCom1 = new OleDbCommand(query, Connection);
Connection.Open();
OleDbDataReader reader = oleCom1.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
Titles.Add(reader[0].ToString());
}
Connection.Close();
return Titles;
}
Thanks guys :)
One possible reason that I see is the ID. Change the id as:
$("#<%=searchTitle.ClientID%>").autocomplete({

how to bind dropdown in sharepoint using angularJS?

Hi I am developing one small application in sharepoint 2013 webparts. I am trying to bind dropdown from database using angular js. My pages are RFRegretLetterWP.ascx and RFRegretLetterWP.ascx. I have tried as below.
<script type="text/javascript">
angular.module('drpdwnApp', []).controller('drpdwnCtrl', function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.ProductList = null;
//Declaring the function to load data from database
$scope.fillProductList = function () {
$http({
method: 'POST',
url: 'RFPRegretLetterWP.ascx/GetDDLNames',
data: {}
}).success(function (result) {
$scope.ProductList = result.d;
});
};
//Calling the function to load the data on pageload
$scope.fillProductList();
});
</script>
This is my html code.
<div ng-app="drpdwnApp" ng-controller="drpdwnCtrl">
<select ng-model="drpdpwnvalue" ng-options="item.OrderID for item in ProductList">
<option value="" label="Select and item"></option>
</select>
</div>
This is my server side code.
public static List<OrderList> GetDDLNames()
{
List<OrderList> list = new List<OrderList>();
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("I have connection string here"))
{
conn.Open();
string strquery = ("select * from CategoryMaster order by CategoryName Asc");
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(strquery, conn))
{
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
OrderList objorder = new OrderList(reader["Vendor_ID"].ToString());
list.Add(objorder);
}
}
}
return list;
}
public class OrderList
{
public string Vendor_ID;
public OrderList(string UName)
{
Vendor_ID = UName;
}
}
I have little doubt in making call to server. This is my Url
url: 'RFPRegretLetterWP.ascx/GetDDLNames' but my page name is RFPRegretLetterWP.ascx.cs so i am having confusion. In some articles i noticed [System.Web.Services.WebMethod()] but when i put it it gives me error. May I have some suggestions on this regards. thank you for consideration
I suggest you to insert the server side code into a LayoutsPage like this:
using System.Web.Services;
public partial class RFPRegretLetterWP : LayoutsPageBase
{
[WebMethod]
public static IEnumerable GetDDLNames()
{
List<OrderList> list = new List<OrderList>();
/* your code */
return list;
}
public class OrderList
{
/* your code */
}
}
and call the web method with the url:
_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl/_layouts/15/<project name>/<pagename>.aspx/GetDDLNames
like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
angular.module('drpdwnApp', []).controller('drpdwnCtrl', function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.ProductList = null;
//Declaring the function to load data from database
$scope.fillProductList = function () {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_layouts/15/<project name>/RFPRegretLetterWP.aspx/GetDDLNames",
data: null,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
async: true,
success: onCompleted,
error: onError
});
function onCompleted(data) {
if (data !== null)
$scope.ProductList = data.d;
}
function onError(error) {
console.log('An error has occurred: ' + error.data);
}
};
//Calling the function to load the data on pageload
$scope.fillProductList();
});
</script>
Replace <project name> with your visual studio project's name.

jquery autocomplete for multiple textboxes inside asp.net Gridview

I have asp.net Gridview that have at least 15 rows with textbox by default example
aspx
<asp:GridView ID="gv_Others" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" CssClass="gvothers">

<asp:TemplateField >
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" />
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmp" runat="server" Width=100% Height=22px CssClass="txtE"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
aspx.cs (here how I am generating 15 rows of a GridView)
private void SetInitialRowsofOthers()
{
var list = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
{
list.Add(string.Empty);
}
gv_Others.DataSource = list;
gv_Others.DataBind();
gv_Others.HeaderRow.Visible = false;
}

I want to fill each textbox by jQuery autocomplete.. for this I created a webservice and getting a value from jQuery.
How I am trying to achieve this task:

Now for example when I type "Engine Work" in TEXTBOX 1 and select the value which populated by jQuery autocomplete("Engine Work") then second time when I type in other text box (TEXT BOX 2). It's only give me the "Engine Work" option to select.. which means after selecting any value (populated by jQuery autocomplete) I can't select any other value in other text boxes....
Example:- (See Image Below)
as you see i type Genral Work but still it`s populating the Previous value "Engine Work" in jquery AutoComplete which i dont want
How to find the TextBox by CSS Class using jQuery????
Something like this (its only find TextBox id by using jQuery inside GridView but I need to find textbox by Css Class)
var $arrT = $('#<%=gv_Others.ClientID %>').find('input:text[id$="txtEmp"]');
Change your script block to this:
$(document).ready(function() {
// This selects all inputs inside the table with the txtE class and applies
// the autocomplete function to them
$('table[id$="gv_Others"] input.txtE').autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: "WebService.asmx/GetAutoCompleteData",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: "{ 'txt1' : '" + request.term + "'}",
dataFilter: function(data) { return data; },
success: function(data) {
response($.map(data.d, function(item) {
return {
label: item,
value: item
}
}))
//debugger;
},
error: function(result) {
alert("Error");
}
});
},
minLength: 1,
delay: 1000
});
});
Look at the data: in the ajax post - it's using request.term and I changed the selector.
The issue with your jquery is this line:
data: "{ 'txt1' : '" + $($arrT).val() + "'}",
That will always return the first value of the array (the first textbox) so it's always submitting the first value to your webservice as the search text.

Javascript Database Validation with Ajax

Thanks to my previously asked question, I have successfully shown a new Textbox after a users enters text in a previous TextBox.
Now, I would like to only show the new TextBox after the text in the original TextBox has been validated.
The validation will make sure the data in the original TextBox is not in the database.
The text boxes are in an Ajax Update Panel. Unfortunatly, I can not use AutoPostBack events, because it effectively resets the JavaScript, even when using function pageLoad()
.
I would like to use the JavaScript to validate against the database, and so far used this code:
JavaScript on Text.aspx
<script type="text/javascript">
function pageLoad() {
$('#<%: txtRegisterEmail.ClientID %>').on('blur', function () {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "Test.aspx/CheckEmail",
data: "{Email: '" + ('#<%: txtRegisterEmail.ClientID %>').value + "'}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: OnSuccess,
failure: function(response) {
alert(response);
}
});
});
}
function OnSuccess(response) {
$('#<%: txtRegisterEmailConfirm.ClientID %>').slideDown();
}
//'input[name$="txtRegisterEmailConfirm"]'
</script>
Test.aspx.cs
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
public static bool CheckEmail(string Email)
{
int counter = 0;
const string strSql = "SELECT memberEmail FROM vwGetMemberDetails";
using (SqlCommand sqlComm = new SqlCommand(strSql, DataConn.Connect()) { CommandType = CommandType.Text })
{
using (SqlDataReader rdr = sqlComm.ExecuteReader())
{
while (rdr.Read())
{
counter = counter + 1;
}
}
}
return counter > 0;
}
The only thing this code does is show the text box (seemingly without validation).
How can I make this work?

but i get nothing.how to solve it.any one helps me is greatly appreciated.thanks in advance
just change the data and response in the ajax as given below
data: "{'PhoneContactName':'" + document.getElementById("<%= ContactName.ClientID %>").value + "'}",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
response(data.d);
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Error");
}
in your case change the PhoneContactName as something like the tag etc.,
hope this helps :D
There are 2 things to take care here:
A- make sure that you can call your service method, use [WebMethod] attribute over your function to make it available to be called over http.
you may also need to tune the WebService settings a little to make it to work.
B- Your javascript code is too much for this task.
considering what is written inside the official documentation of Autocomplete, you only need to point out 2 things:
Url of the fetching method,
The control that the user is going to write on, and will trigger the
autocomplete call using the current value inside.
Consider the following example:
$(".tb").autocomplete({source: "URL_OF_YOUR_REMOTE_METHOD"});
considering your example, you will need to put this code:
$(".tb").autocomplete({source: "WebService.asmx/FetchTagList"});
This is the minimal piece of code that you need in order to make it to work.
but to take everything manually as you did, is a little bit complicated and not that easy to figure our problem once they start to happen.
a live example: http://jsfiddle.net/grtWe/1/
just use this piece of code and let me know if it works, then we may go from here to achieve your goal.
if FetchTagList is your webmethod you are calling from jquery then don`t return list from method you can bind datatable directly to the autocomplete textbox just check following link how to do that.
http://nareshkamuni.blogspot.in/2012/06/sample-example-of-jquery-autocomplete.html
also you can do that using ajax autocomplete extender. for using ajax autocomplete extender refer following link
http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/ASPNet-AJAX-AutoCompleteExtender-Pass-Additional-Parameter-to-WebMethod-using-ContextKey.aspx
script is as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
SearchText();
});
function SearchText() {
$(".auto").autocomplete({
source: function (request, response) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "Photos.aspx/GetAutoCompleteData",
data: "{'CategoryName':'" + document.getElementById("<%= txtCategory.ClientID %>").value + "'}",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
response(data.d);
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Error Occurred");
}
});
}
});
}
</script>
web method:
[WebMethod]
public static List<string> GetAutoCompleteData(string CategoryName)
{
List<string> result = new List<string>();
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\"|DataDirectory|\\ImageDB2.mdb\";Persist Security Info=True");
string query = "select TagName from TAGS where TagName LIKE '%" + CategoryName + "%'";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(query, con);
con.Open();
//cmd.Parameters.Add("#ptext", System.Data.SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = CategoryName;
OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dr.Read())
{
result.Add(dr["TagName"].ToString());
}
return result;
}
