Creating a new ASP.NET AJAX Enabled website

To create a new website in Visual Studio 2005 click, File >> New >> Web Site and select ASP.NET AJAX Enabled Web Site from the available templates. I named the application as CCDFromDatabase and used C# as the coding language.

I used ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Library in this sample. The latest library can be downloaded from Microsoft site [http://ajax.asp.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=47].

Figure 1

Add a reference to the latest AjaxControlToolkit.dll in your project. To add a reference, right click on the Project >> Add Reference >> Browse. Select the location to where you have downloaded the AjaxControlToolkit.dll.

You can find the latest AjaxControlToolkit.dll in the SampleWebSite/bin folder of the AjaxControlToolkit. The latest toolkit is available for download at [http://www.codeplex.com/AtlasControlToolkit/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx].

Title: How to databind selected value   
Name: Nick
Date: 2010-09-23 7:40:09 PM
Comment:
Hi All,
A few have had problems with databinding a child dropdownlist with the cascadingdropdownextender, I have a solution to this.
I created a user control (.ascx - if you don't know about them you're missing out) and created a read/write property called SelectedValue. Now the 'Get' returns CascadingDropDownChild.SelectedValue, and 'Set' first causes CascadingDropDownParent.SelectedValue = ChildValueForeignKey, and then CascadingDropDownChild.SelectedValue = value. this allowed me to use "SelectedValue='<%# Bind("ChildValue") %>" in the .aspx page.
It seems a bit counter-intuitive, but you get/set the ddl values in the CascadingDropDown extender, not the ddl iteslf.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I have 3 dropdownlists and 3 cascading dropdown extenders. I have a webservice method to get the dropdown contents. When I run my aspx, all 3 dropdowns are in a disabled state and I tried to debug and am seeing that knownCategoryValues is empty. How does this field get populated. I'm not using Context Key for the dropdowns. Should I use it. If so, could you explain how? Thanks for your help!
Title: Pick a value from Drop down

Hi, good stuff, but I was wondering how one can pick the displayed value of for example the second drop down list. I have something like

var modelVar = document.getElementById("ddlCarModels").value;
on the onchange event of the MOdel dropdownlist but all I'm getting back is the numerical position 1,2,3,4,5... of the item being displayed but not the actual value being displayed. Can anyone help.
Title: Row Limit

This article rocks. I have it working properly for 3 dropdowns. Country, Province, City. The province of Alberta has less than 500 cities so that works. Ontario has 1500+ cities so I get the 500 error. Is there really alimit to the number of rows that can be retrieved into a CascadingDropDown? Is there any way around it? (yes it is not good practice to put so many rows into a ddl, however this is one exception where it does make sense)

Awesome tutorial however I kept getting the same error 500 that everyone complaints about.

After uncommenting this line of code
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
it worked like a charm.

Too bad I didn't read well enough, since the comment above clearly states
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
//[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]

Anyway... I'm posting this for the next person. I'm having a laugh over here.

Great article. Cheers.

Thank you VERY MUCH ES for putting this together. this is much more understandable than 'the other' example that assumes quite a bit.

i THINK that I've understood the code presented here and I'm trying to implement my own version using Departments as the first drop down, and employee's as the second.

I'm stuck on the error 'The type specified in the TypeName property of ObjectDataSource 'ods_Cars' could not be found.'

i can't find through the given files as well as this example where ods_Cars is defined. it's only listed twice on the default.aspx page no where else.

any help is greatly appreciated.

dear all,

Status code 500 indicates an error that occurred on the server( may be before it arrives at the code written by you ), I'd recommend using Fiddler to find out the cause of the problem. The actual error message is returned aside with the response with status code 500, you can use Fiddler to find it out. And the actual error message should give you a clear idea how to solve it.

Title: Adding one more dropdown will work fine   
Name: Mohammad Musa
Date: 2008-01-03 3:01:27 PM
Comment:
In the web service method for the 3rd dropdown you need to get the value of the second drop down correctly.

For my case I used:
string strStateId = _categoryValues[3];

Note index is no longer 1, rather it is 3 now.

This is evident if you run this in debug mode and see what values you get for knownCategoryValues. The format is

First DDL (method #2 to get models):
knownCategoryValues = unknown:{selected value of ddl1};
eg: knownCategoryValues =unknown:1;

for 2nd ddl (method #3 to get colors):
knownCategoryValues ="undefined:1;Model:{value};"
eg: knownCategoryValues="undefined:1;Model:Acura;"

See in above string index of Acura is 3. That is why I used index 3 to get the model name so that I can get the right colors.

If you add one one dropdown then the next index will be 5 and so on.

These basic things must have been cleared in the article.
Hope this helps.

Those of you are stuck with this stupid error:
I was having this issue for 5 hours. This seems to be hard to fix if you only have a browser and VS. You need some sniffing tool to see what is the root cause. One such tool is Fiddler.

Just download, install and run it. Any localhost traffic will be caught in fiddler. If you look at the 500 error details, it says No Web Service found ... This line tells that 500 error is coming just because your page is NOT refering to the webservice correctly. Either name is misspelled or method name is wrong or path is wrong.

Also don't forget to test the webservice methods by invoking from asmx page url. That will prove if the method is correct.

Now for my case I was using ajaxToolkit:CascadingDropDown ID="CascadingDropDown1" runat="server" Category="Cars" LoadingText="Please wait..." ParentControlID="ddlCars"
PromptText="Select a model" TargetControlID="ddlCarModels" ServicePath="CarsWebService.asmx" ServiceMethod="GetModelsByCarId"
==> I got 500 error

Then I changed it to the following and it started rocking
ajaxToolkit:CascadingDropDown ID="CascadingDropDown1" runat="server" Category="Cars" LoadingText="Please wait..." ParentControlID="ddlCars"
PromptText="Select a model" TargetControlID="ddlCarModels" ServicePath="../../ajax/CarsWebService.asmx" ServiceMethod="GetModelsByCarId"

==> no error. Note that my service path is pointing correctly where I have put my webservice. Better is to type ServicePath=" and then use VS to browse to the folder where you created your webservice. Hope this helps.

Very good example, had some trouble when the CarModelsTableAdapter was not correctly created, worked on third attempt(first 2 tries I went too fast for VS to create the table adapter object). When used Access 2003 instead of SQL Server 2005 had to change the call to:
SELECT ModelId, CarId, ModelName
FROM CarModels
WHERE (CarId = ?) and cast the _carID to short for WebService call to work... GetModelsByCarId((short)_carID)

That is not possible with the current method syntax of the CascadingDropDownList. The method takes only 2 parameters. One alternative is to pass both the values as a single parameter separated by a char value to the knowCategoryValues and before you call your select command you split the value to get the carId and userId.

Hi thr,
the article is very explanatory. everything is working well but the issue i have is with the loading of the dropdown list at page load. for instance, if i need to get the value from the database at the page load and initialize teh dropdown list with that value, its not working.for ex, if i use the statement Dropdownlistmodel.selectedtext="AUDI" in the page load ,the selected value still remains "Please select a make". i have tried debugging and what i observe there is that the webservice is being called after the page load event which is causing it to load the dropdown list from the webservice after the page load. it would be great if you could help me out with any possible solutions for this.

Title: 3 dropdown lists   
Name: north
Date: 2007-05-02 3:33:03 PM
Comment:
reply to: PETE - Re: 3 drop down lists

I needed a solution like such that uses 3 drop down lists, each built from a selection in a prior list.

For example. Country, State, and County dropdownlists

Firstly, I switched all this code to VB because well that's what I most comfortable with. I used this guide to get the 2 dropdown list example here functional for me, then tackled the third.

The trick is in the 3rd dropdown getDataByID(@ID,ID2) method in the WebService.

Pay attention to these lines of code with explanation

string[] _categoryValues = knownCategoryValues.Split(':', ';');
// KnownCategoryValues looks something like USA:Country;NY:State;
//so when you split it out (by ; and :), the variable string[] array becomes
// [1] USA
// [2] Country
// [3] NY
// [4] State

and so on. But the first pair before the first ; is the value, and category (@ID param name) of the first drop down
and the second pair id my second drop down selection (VALUE: @ID2 param name)

then add a second varibale to collect the secong pair data

ID1 = _categoryValues[1]; <-- will get the 1st ddl Value
ID2 = _categoryValues[3]; <-- Will get the 2nd ddl Value


so for multiple variable Dataset in a getDataByID(@ID1, @ID2) method you now have both variables, I assume this could go on forever with Parent Cascading Links.

I used VB so my conversion back to C# above might not be great, but hopefully the idea is presented clearly

Hi,

I have followed the principals you lay out here & continue to get an Method error 500. In stepping through the code, I can see that the CascadingDropDownNameValue collection is building & in fact has all the data. The error seems to ocur upon returning the Collection. Any help would be great. One note, I have built this in an "AjaxEnabledWebApplication", and as such the codebehind of the asmx is NOT in App_Code as in your (and other) examples, but the code never the less is executed.

The type or namespace name 'dsCarModelsTableAdapters' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Check this thread: http://forums.asp.net/1/1643903/ShowThread.aspx This thread explains the different causes for the Internal Server Error 500. You can also download the code and test it. I guess you might have missed a static keyword for web method, incorrect parameter names etc., Do let me know if the problem still persists!

It depends on how you want to fetch the data, either you use datasets, or go for a generic list, the article explains on how to retrieve the values from database to a cascading dropdown list. I dunno why you are unable to make a data connection. You may need to check your connection strings, access permissions etc. You can also download the complete working source given with the article, assuming you have ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 library installed.

It didn't quite work for me, my PC won't make that data connection (due to a security problem?). I shall drop the silly datasets used in this example (not very real world is it?) and use a data reader into a generic list - then I'll try again. First I'll try to run the authors code to see how it differs from mine.

I still can't get any of these CascadingDropDown examples to work!

Does the CascadingDropDown really not need a ScriptManager?
