Error when using drop down list within AdvancedInsertTemplate

[VetlinkPRO]

Hi,

I have created drop down lists within the <AdvancedInsertTemplate>...</AdvancedInsertTemplate> tag of a Rad scheduler. I set the Selected Value of the drop down list using the Bind method like SelectedValue='<%# Bind("TaskStatus") %>' (the TaskStatus is a custom attribute). When I insert a new appointment using the AdvancedInsertTemplate, it will give me the following error:

Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

I have done the same to the AdvancedEditTemplate without any error, anyone knows how to solve this problem please?

Cheers
Chi

Hi Chi,

Since you are in InsertMode the TaskStatus is null.

Why do you need the SelectedValue property set to a databound field in insert mode?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.
I would like to let users select a value from the drop down list and insert to the database. Is that supposed to bind the selected value of the drop down list to the data source value and perform the insert procedure?

Cheers,
Chi

Hello Chi,

Actually, there is a kb article which demonstrates this functionality:

Hi all:

Can someone update the broken link above?  Thanks.

As I've been using the forum a LOT the past week, there are a LOT of broken links.  A little frustrating.

Thanks.

I used RadDropDown to Filter Scheduler and set AutoPostback Properties, I got "Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.".

Hi,

Can you please clarify which of the controls you are using -  is it the RadAutoCompleteBox, the RadDropDownTree or the RadDropDownList? Can you also clarify what is the binding that you are using so we can test the scenario with this KB and determine what might be causing the exception that you get.

Kind regards,
