Learn how to dinamycally add or remove items from a DropDownList WebControl in C#
In the following explanation you will learn how to add and delete items from a dropDownList in C#. We will use a simple class that will call the addDeleteItems on the onLoad event of the DropDownList. Finally We will set it to run at server so that the code is executed by the server.
Example:
In file dropdownTest.aspx
 | Code Snippet 1 |
 |
|
<%@ Control Language="c#" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="dropdownTest.aspx.cs"
TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>DropDownList Control in C#</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- create a drop down and assign the onload event to addDeleteItems-->
<asp:dropdownlist id="DropDownList1" Width="152px"
OnLoad="addDeleteItems" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="Item 1 Value" Selected="True">Item 1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Item 2 Value">Item 2</asp:ListItem>
</asp:dropdownlist></td>
</body>
</html>
|
Now, In file dropdownTest.aspx.cs
|
| Code Snippet 2 |
|
|
namespace test_project
{
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
public class test_dropdown
{
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList DropDownList1;
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//Set any methods on page load here
}
//create the addDeleteItems that adds and delete items (called on onLoad).
//from the dropdown dynamicaly
protected void addDeleteItems(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)sender;
ListItem thisItem1 = (ListItem)ddl.Items.FindByValue("Item 1 Value");
ListItem thisItem2 = (ListItem)ddl.Items.FindByValue("Item 2 Value");
if( thisItem1 != null && thisItem2 != null) {
ddl.Items.Remove(thisItem1); //remove an item from dropdown
ListItem newItem = new ListItem("Item 3 Value","Item 3");
ddl.Items.Add(newItem);
}
}
}
}
