Using 2 dropdowns and 1 gridview
-
I want to use two dropdown lists on the same page but have the data go into one gridview when the user clicks on the dropdown list. Is this possible? This is the screen shot that I want to achieve.
Dropdownlist1
Dropdownlist2
This is the gridview I want to use
ID
First Name
Last Name
Address
Job

Yes, that's possible. Just reload the grid on the changed event of either of the drop down lists.

Thanks Joe for your response. I'm a newbie and don't quite understand. In the Dropdown1 and dropdown2 selected index change do I reload the grid like this...
if dropdown1.selecteditem = dropdown1.selectedindex then
gridview1.load (don't know how to code this)
end if

JJ, take a look through this series of articles: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/040502-1.aspx
Although it talks about a "datagrid", most of it applies for a "gridview".
and...
to answer your question, yes, if you want the grid to load when the selected item in dropdown1 is equal to the selected index of dropdown2.
However, the syntax would be more like:
gridview1.DataSource = ???
gridview1.DataBind()
If you read through the articles mentioned, you'll soon pick it up. Its fairly strightforward once you have a go.
