Good Day All

I have a Listbox with name lstbxTags and it get populated fine and i have another two List boxes named ListBox1 and lstbxLecturers in lstbxTags_SelectedIndexChanged event of the Listbox lstbxTags i have the Following Code

protected void lstbxTags_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     //This Session Variable will Hold the ID of the selected Staff

     BLL.BLL obj = new BLL.BLL();

     DataSet ds = new DataSet();

     String SelectedStaff = Convert.ToString(lstbxTags.SelectedItem.Value);

     //Assign the returned id to the Session variable
     int Selected_Staff = obj.Get_Selected_id_of_Tag(SelectedStaff, Convert.ToString(Session["ActiveDatabase"]));

     ds = obj.FILTER_TAG(Selected_Staff, Convert.ToString(Session["ActiveDatabase"]));

     //Binding the Listboxes

     ListBox1.DataSource = ds;

     ListBox1.DataTextField = "Descr";

     ListBox1.Visible = true;

     lstbxLecturers.Visible = false;

     ListBox1.DataBind();


 }

Now when i select something in the lstbxTags, nothing gets Populated in ListBox1, i have step through the code and it goes without a Problem.

what is the Problem

Thanks

My Problem is that the Listbox1 does not Get Populated with the values when you select an Item in lstbxTags listbox

I even Added the Following Code at the End

//Binding the Listboxes
       if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
       {

           ListBox1.DataSource = ds;

           ListBox1.DataTextField = "Descr";

           ListBox1.Visible = true;

           lstbxLecturers.Visible = false;

           ListBox1.DataBind();
       }
       else
       {

           //Leave it there Way it is
           ListBox1.Visible = false;

           lstbxLecturers.Visible = true;
       }

this is to test if there are any records returned and the First true to the If statement get executed.

Thank you

ListBox1.DataSource = ds;

Does Ds populating correctly?

What about the data text field ?

I have done a small prototype with ArrayList and bind the data, its working fine.

This has been Working. So for the sake of look and feel , i too these controls and Put them in an Update Panel and Add them to a table, after i did that it stopped working. the "Descr" is Correct. as i said i tried to check if the returned Dataset has records by doing this

//Binding the Listboxes
       if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
       {

           ListBox1.DataSource = ds;

           ListBox1.DataTextField = "Descr";

           ListBox1.Visible = true;

           lstbxLecturers.Visible = false;

           ListBox1.DataBind();
       }
       else
       {

           //Leave it there Way it is
           ListBox1.Visible = false;

           lstbxLecturers.Visible = true;
       }

And when i debug this , it says there are records, but i cant understand why dont they get populated in ListBox1

Thanks

No Luck ! I didn't find issue with that, even I have tried with Dataset Frown | :(

Are you generating the list box at runtime ?

Meaning Populating the Listbox at run time ? Yes

like this

private void Bind_Tags_List()
  {


      //Bind the listbox that Contains the Tags
      BLL.BLL obj = new BLL.BLL();

      String DB = Convert.ToString(Session["ActiveDatabase"]);

      try
      {

          DataSet ds = obj.Get_Tag_Staff_Only(DB);

          lstbxTags.DataSource = ds;

          lstbxTags.DataTextField = "DESCR";

          lstbxTags.DataBind();


      }
      catch (SqlException ex)
      {
          lblAdminStatus.Text = ex.Message.ToString();
      }
  }

On page load

Thanks

No am not creating the Listbox control at runtime , but populating it at Runtime. I have Notice something String. When i select Something from the lstbxTags nothing get Displayed in the ListBox1 and when i select other Control that has no code in it in my page like a button , the ListBox1 gets Populated.

I found the Problem; the Problem is that one of my Listboxes had a Autopostback property to False. I can’t believe that I spent the whole day trying to solve this problem and change my code, but still. I think this is one of those days

Thank you for your Help
