Hi
I'm using a for statement to loop through some rows in a datatable:

for (int x = 0; x < dtcountact.Rows.Count; x++)
{
}
how can I set the default value for a dropdownlist i.e.
dropdownlist.SelectedValue = dtcount.Rows[x]["dddropdown"].ToString().Trim();
all this seems to do is to set each dropdown as the last number in the datatable.
How would i set each row in the datatable to the dropdownlist?
thanks
please ask if you want me to eloborate.

if this is part of the question below.

for (int x = 0; x < dtcountact.Rows.Count; x++)
{
   dropdownlist.SelectedValue = (x + 1).ToString();
}

but if ive got that in the onrowcreate event it does the same thing.
Sorry to sort of repost but I was trying a different method
instead of counting rows i was counting rows in the database and going from there.
But I cant seem to set the default value anymore.
Before I just used the datakeys.

Well the post was getting a bit long.
Do you mean that if you put that in the OnRowCreate event it doesn't work?
Then try and put it in the OnRowDataBound event.
I don't see why its not working. Is it just not selecting the right values?

Its just selecting the last row in the datatable as its default where as it should start from the top and for each row pick a default value for it.
Ive got to go, i will be in tomorrow, thanks for the help
here is the code:

SqlCommand sqlcommandcountact = new SqlCommand("Select * from table where field1 = '" + session + "' and field2 = '" + session2 + "'", con);
SqlDataAdapter dataAdaptercountact = new SqlDataAdapter();
dataAdaptercountact.SelectCommand = sqlcommandcountact;
DataSet dataSetcountact = new DataSet();
dataAdaptercountact.Fill(dataSetcountact);
DataTable dtcountact = dataSetcountact.Tables["table"];

dropdownlist = ((DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddorder"));
for (int countallrows = 1; countallrows <= dtcountact.Rows.Count; countallrows++)
{
dropdownlist.Items.Add(new ListItem(countallrows.ToString(), countallrows.ToString()));
}

for (int x = 0; x < dtcountact.Rows.Count; x++)
{
dropdownlist = ((DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddorder"));
dropdownlist.SelectedValue = dtcountact.Rows[x].ToString();
}

Try changing this row

dropdownlist.SelectedValue = x.ToString();

That should sort out the problem.

Having found this quesiton [^], I'm still on the search for a control that behaves more like the spreadsheet of Google Docs [^]:

Selecting, editing, merging of cells, across rows and columns.
Formatting like bold, italic, maybe color of individual cells.
Storing and loading as HTML or similar formats on the server.
All that packing inside a nice and easy-to-use ASP.NET control.

Is anyone aware of such a tool (commercial or non-commerical)?

Thanks
Uwe

Hi,
Have just developed some codes to allow users to send mails to a specified email address.
The solutions work no doubt, but the mails are going to the spam mail and not into the Inbox.

What might be responsible with this.... Please help out

Does the content of the e-mails you send out contain something about winning $1,000,000 and bank details? D'Oh! | :doh:
