Dropdown list bound to another dropdown list
I have two dropdown lists on my page. The first contains a list of names and the second contains a list of hardware devices.
My problem is: When i choose a name from the first dropdown i need the second to become populated with their related devices. This works fine, however if i then change the name in the first dropdown list, it adds another set of devices to the devices dropdown list.
The way i want it to work is to refresh the devices dropdown when the name is changed. So that only that persons related devices show up (in the second dropdown)
Any help would be much appreciated.
John

either clear the items collection (ddl.Items.Clear()) before you add the list of hardware devices of the newly selected user or directly bind the list using ddl.DataSource and ddl.DataBind() so that it is refreshed and not added.

Hi,StefanHanotin
Create two method to populate hardware device.
one is for the Parent dropdownlist(on which selection you want to populate another dropdownlist.) and anothere for Second dropdownlist.
in second method you put the where condition.After that you pass the selected value of parent Dropdownlist in second method and fill second method on the selectedindex changed of the parent dropdownlist.

Hi StefanHanotin ,
You must clear the items in your Devices dropdownlist in the SelectedIndexChanged event of first dropdownlist. So each time you select an item in first dropdownlist, the second dropdownlist will contain required non-repeated items. Here goes the simple illustration:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged"></asp:DropDownList>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList2" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList>1 //selected index changed event of first dropdownlist 2 protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) 3 { 4 DropDownList2.Items.Clear(); 5 //*** Your databinding logic goes here 6 }Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask if there is any confusion. Thanks.
