Here I am using previous implemented article ajax cascading dropdownlist in asp.net to bind data to dropdownlists.
After that I am binding the data to gridview for that first design table in database and give name UserInfomation
ColumnName | DataType |
UserId | Int(set identity property=true) |
UserName | varchar(50) |
LastName | varchar(50) |
Location | varchar(50) |
After completion table creation add ajax reference to your application because here I am using ajax cascading dropdownlists bind to gridview and design your aspx page like this
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="ajax" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"> <title>Cascading Dropdownlist Sample</title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <ajax:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server"/> <div> <asp:GridView runat="server" ID="gvdetails" DataSourceID="dsdetails" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="10" AutoGenerateColumns="false" ShowFooter="true"> <RowStyle BackColor="#EFF3FB" /> <FooterStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" /> <PagerStyle BackColor="#2461BF" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" /> <HeaderStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" /> <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" /> <Columns> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="UserId"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="lblUserId" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("UserId") %>'/> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="UserName"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="lblUserName" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("UserName") %>'/> </ItemTemplate> <FooterTemplate> <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList> <ajax:CascadingDropDown ID="CountryCascading" runat="server" Category="Country" TargetControlID="ddlCountry" LoadingText="Loading Countries..."

If you observe above code I used ajax cascading dropdownlist to bind in gridview. To bind data to dropdownlist and data tables design check this post ajax cascading dropdownlist using asp.net .After completion of bind data to dropdownlists use above code to place dropdownlist in gridview and bind data to gridview if you have any doubts just download the attached code to and check the details.
Here don’t forgot to set the connection string in web.config file here I am getting database connection from web.config file for that reason you need to set the connectionstring in web.config file like this
<connectionStrings> <add name="dbconnection" connectionString="Data Source=SureshDasari;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MySampleDB"/> </connectionStrings> |

Hi Suresh,
If the gridview initially does not have any data or is not binded to datasource but if we need some dropdownlists in such gridview. Should we have empty data template? I am confused what to do. I also have to populate the dropdownlist
Initially the gridview will have just 1 row with 4 dropdownlists which are populated. How to do this?
hi,
i think that feature available in 4.0 version except that version we don't have any option like empty data template. we need to write custom code to display gridview even if that doesn't contain any data check below post
