Multi Selection Drop Down

[Vinod]

Hi,

I am using multi-selection drop-down in my application for displaying the name of the employees. My objective is to send e-mail by selecting the name(s). for this i bind the value like this

DataTextField - Employee Name
DataValueField - EmployeeID.

now on selecting the employee name their id is displaying in the box insted of their name.

My requirement is to display the name in the box and on a button event i want to get the corresponding id's of the employees.

(same as in the generic ASP.NET drop-down control).

Thank you for posting your query to us.

Issue : Display the name in the box and on a button event i want to get the corresponding id's of the employees.

If your intention is to get the corresponding value of the selected id in multiselection dropdown,It can be achieved by using the below code snippet:

[c#]
                                this.MultiSelectionDropDown1.DataTextField = "ID";
                                this.MultiSelectionDropDown1.DataValueField = "Value";

Please refer the sample in the below link which illustrates the above.

Hi Vinod,

Thank you for your patience.

Issue 1: What we need is Once we select (by checking) the names, in the top the name is to be displayed where as we are able to display number only

i) You can display the value is box when checking the checkbox in a dropdown using below code snippet:

[c#]
                                this.MultiSelectionDropDown1.DataTextField = "Value";
                                this.MultiSelectionDropDown1.DataValueField = "Value";

ii)You can get the selected item value in button click event using the below code snippet:

[c#]
                               protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
                              {
                                        Response.Write(MultiSelectionDropDown1.Text);
                              }

Please let me know if you have any other concerns.
