Cascasding Drop Down Page method custom variable

Hi

I have page method populating the first of my drop downs and the reason being is that i need a variable that will be specific to user.
Currently this is stored in the session...How can i use this variable in the Page Method that is static...I cant really use a static variable as they are shared between all users.

Thanks.

Steve

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately I don't know of a good way to do this anymore. When we first wrote CascadingDropDown page methods weren't required to be static so there was an easy solution. Could you create a work item on CodePlex for this? Perhaps we could modify the web service signature to include optional tag info.

Thanks,
Ted

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

Well i have found a solution that works for me and may well for others.....
I have a web method that has Sessions enabled that i can call to get the value from...of course this method cannot be on the page as Sessions arent static.

[

WebMethod(EnableSession =true)]
publicCascadingDropDownNameValue[] GetDivisionsBySessionIdAccount(string knownCategoryValues,string category)
{
SessionCollection oSC; if (Session["UserObj"] !=null) {
oSC = (SessionCollection)Session["UserObj"];
// Calling another method to get my array - the same one i used from the page method.
CascadingDropDownNameValue[] retArray = GetDivisionsByIdAccount(oSC.idAccount);
return retArray;
}
else {
thrownewException("Your Session Has Expired");
}
}

I have created a work item number7579 for this.

I have just updated to the release toolkit and now my CCDD have stopped working! The top drop down loads fine from the method above but none of the others below. I have a debug error in jsSys.Debug is null or not an object.??

ARGH!

Here's more on the typical cause of Sys.Debug is null:http://forums.asp.net/thread/1546990.aspx
