Hi all,
in one of my pages, i have two dropdowns: one for listing countries and the second for listing the states/provinces of the country selected in the first one dropdown.
When i was using the AJAX Release candidate version, I used the cascadingdropdown without problem. But when i installed the v1.0, the cascadingdropdown stop updating the second dropdown, as used to. Is there someone who can tell me what i am doing wrong?
Part of my code in the aspx file:
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server"
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
<asp:UpdatePanel id="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional" RenderMode="Inline">
<ContentTemplate>
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%; TEXT-ALIGN: left">
<TBODY> <TR>
<TD style="WIDTH: 328px; TEXT-ALIGN: left">
<asp:DropDownList id="CountryDropDownList" tabIndex=12 runat="server" Width="204px" AutoPostBack="True" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="Id"></asp:DropDownList>
</TD>
<TD style="WIDTH: 328px; HEIGHT: 24px; TEXT-ALIGN: left">
<asp:DropDownList id="ProvinceDropDownList" tabIndex=12 runat="server" Width="204px" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="Id"></asp:DropDownList>
</TD>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<cc1:CascadingDropDown id="CascadingDropDown1" runat="server" TargetControlID="CountryDropDownList" Category="Country" ServicePath="CustomerSignUp.aspx" ServiceMethod="GetAllCountries" PromptText="<%$ Resources:Messages, SelectCountry %>" LoadingText="<%$ Resources:Messages, Loading %>"></cc1:CascadingDropDown>
<cc1:CascadingDropDown id="CascadingDropDown2" runat="server" TargetControlID="ProvinceDropDownList" Category="Province" ServicePath="CustomerSignUp.aspx" ServiceMethod="GetCountryProvinces" PromptText="<%$ Resources:Messages, SelectProvince %>" LoadingText="<%$ Resources:Messages, Loading %>" ParentControlID="CountryDropDownList"></cc1:CascadingDropDown>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</asp:Content>
Methods in the aspx.cs file:
[WebMethod]
public static CascadingDropDownNameValue[] GetAllCountries(string knownCategoryValues, string category)
{
List<CascadingDropDownNameValue> values = new List<CascadingDropDownNameValue>();
ICollection<Country> countries = KinocastFacade.Instance.GetAllCountries();
foreach (Country country in countries)
{
values.Add(new CascadingDropDownNameValue(
Resources.Messages.ResourceManager.GetString(country.Name), country.Id.ToString()));
}
return values.ToArray();
}
[WebMethod]
public static CascadingDropDownNameValue[] GetCountryProvinces(string knownCategoryValues, string category)
{
StringDictionary kv = CascadingDropDown.ParseKnownCategoryValuesString(
knownCategoryValues);
int countryId;
/*Verifica se a chave country está no StringDictionary e se é possivel
*fazer o parse do seu valor para inteiro. Se possivel coloca o valor
*em countryId*/
if (!kv.ContainsKey("Country") ||
!Int32.TryParse(kv["Country"], out countryId))
{
return null;
}
List<CascadingDropDownNameValue> values = new List<CascadingDropDownNameValue>();
ICollection<Province> provinces = KinocastFacade.Instance.GetCountryProvinces(countryId);
foreach (Province province in provinces)
{
values.Add(new CascadingDropDownNameValue(
Resources.Messages.ResourceManager.GetString(province.Name), province.Id.ToString()));
}
return values.ToArray();
}
Thanks a lot for any help,
Rodrigo
Anyway,
I've just resolved my problem re-creating the project, including all my files and modules again. And at the end, i include the AjaxControlToolkit.dll (version 1.0.10301.0) and the cascadingdropdown problem disapeared.
Maybe, it had happened because the VS saves some olds DLLs in a limbo place :p ...... I dont know...
Cheers.
