Select Case error

[angelica]

Can someone please tell me why I get an error ??

Select Case check

Case "1"
DDdisability1.SelectedValue = "Please Select"
DDdisability1.SelectedValue = Nothing
Case "2"
DDdisability2.SelectedValue = "Please Select"
DDdisability2.SelectedValue = Nothing


.......................................etc
Case "10"
DDdisability10.SelectedValue = "Please Select"
DDdisability10.SelectedValue = Nothing
End Select

What kind of error are you getting. You will need to provide more information. Which line does it show error on?

[mendhak]

1. DDdisability1.SelectedValue.ToString = "Please Select"
DDdisability1.SelectedValue = Nothing

Remove the 'ToString'

2. Why set the selectedvalue to nothing after setting the selectedvalue to 'please select'?

3. Could it be the **** ?

hi,

What Im trying to do is this:

these 10 dropdownlists are populated by a field. The first record to show is "Please select". Now if the user does not need to have information from all dropdownlist then the field is left empty.


My error is on the name of the Select Case Check saying

name is not declared.

If there is a better way to check all 10 dropdowns please tell me, or else please tell me where is my mistake.

Many many thanks

What is sAccessID ID?
I think this has not been declared anywhere!

Place a break point on the SELECT line and then when the system breaks there, start pointing your cursor at variable names. One will come up undefined. It is the offender.

It will not compile first of all with this kind of error. So there is no case of debugging it.

Well for sake of what she is trying to do, this might be a good place to start:
(This is the C# version, it needs to be adapted to VB and I am not quite up on my VB enough to do it)

int iCheckID = /*Fill the ID with the number some how*/;
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList oDDL = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)Page.FindControl("DDdisability" + i.ToString());
oDDL.SelectedIndex = 0; //Where the first item in the list is "Please Select"

hi,

There's a nice fast online convertor here
and it gives this output.

Dim iCheckID As Integer = 2 'A number i entered to make conversation work.
Dim oDDL As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList = CType(Page.FindControl("DDdisability" + i.ToString), System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)
oDDL.SelectedIndex = 0

[mendhak]

Alright, and?

Can't you modify fishcake's code? Where exactly are you confused? What is your question?
