Combo Box

Good video. Thank you

Adding new item to DB is the main value of ComboBox. But this is not covered.

Nice, thanks for the video.

wass - you would add a value entered into the combobox the same way you would add a value from any control.

Joe,

when MS is planning to have Multi-Combobox ? i'm so surprised that MS do not have the control.

also, i can use the ajax combobox NOT standard control with cascading-dropdownlist ?

thanks.

Joe,

I think I found a bug with this control. After post-back, there seems to be no way to clear the previously selected (or entered) value. I've tried the following in a code-beside Button_Click event:

ComboBox1.ClearSelection();

and

ComboBox1.SelectedValue = "";

and

ComboBox1.Text = "";

I've even re-bound the data to the control. The previously selected value always remains. This is problematic for me. I have a page where the user can enter an address and click Save. I then want to clear the control's value out to allow a new address to be entered. Any tips or work-arounds would be VERY appreciated.

I'm having the same problem.

I have three combo boxes, each of the first two cause a postback & filter the items in the following combo boxes.

The selectedindex seems to be remembered between the postbacks. The newly populated combo box displays the item at the same position as was shown on the previous page. If that position doesnot exist in the new list then the previous text value is still shown until an item is selected.

Setting SelectedIndex to -1 or 0 has no effect.

Any help would be appreciated.
