DetailView

[Guest]

How can I use a dropdownlist in DetailView?

Protected Sub PeopleDetail_ItemUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsViewUpdateEventArgs)
' Some hocus pocus
End Sub
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status">
<ItemTemplate >
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<aspropDownList ID="StatusList2"
DataValueField="status" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="A">Active</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="M">Moved</asp:ListItem>
</aspropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

1- Get a reference to the dropdownlist:
Dim ddl as DropDownList = Ctype(DetailsView1.FindControl("StatusList1") ,
DropDownList)

2- update the new values:
e.NewValues("Status") = ddl.SelectedValue

Phillip,
That will not compile this time.
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs does have a newvalues
collection.
But e.Values("status") = ddl.SelectedValue works if I change to the
PeopleDetail_ItemInserting event

In your first post, below, you asked about the DetailsViewUpdateEventArgs,
which contains NewValues.

As for the DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs the equivalent is e.Values
