[RESOLVED] Need to add (bind) a DropDownList to a DetailsView using EntityDataSource and VS2013

Hi

 

I just want to create something very basic, but have been very difficult for me, mainly because I'm not a code expert: I'm using Entity Data Source and need to to add (bind) a DropDownList to a DetailsView using EntityDataSource and VS2013.

I have a DetailsView I want to use for a Purchasing Form.

 

I need 3 dropDown lists, one to select the Product, the Item, and Other to select the Buyer.

I want to do this basic, in the future I will add a filter, etc. but now I just need this 3 drop downs in the form using EntityDataSource.

I'm new on coding, so I started with WebForms and drag and drop.

I changed some code in the DetailsView, and shows the DropDown but does not bind at all.

PLease your help.

 

        
        
            
                
                    
                        
                    
                   
                      
                    
                    
                         
                    
                >

If you want bind DropDownList, bind DropDownList Selectedvalue (not text property) to your db field

DataTextField="UserName" DataValueField="Id"
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("IdUsuario") %>'>

Many thanks!, worked perfectly!, take care!...
