As far as I can tell, there are 3 ways to create a DropDownList in an ASP.NET MVC View: Hand code the HTML manually <asp:DropDownList ID="someID" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList> <%= Html.DropDownList("someID") %> I think we can all agree that #1 is (generally) a waste of time. With #2, it appears to be the "WebForms" way of doing...
In my ASP.NET application, I have a GridView. For a particular field in this GridView, I've added an EditItemTemplate with a DropDownList.

I don't have a "Text" and "Value" separation (athough MVC appears to require one) - the string di...

Hey guys, Probably a simple one, but I need some help. I had some radio buttons and was using the following jQuery to see which was checked: var desc1 = ($('input[name=area]:checked').val()); That worked fine, but I now need to use a drop down menu instead of the radio buttons. I tried the same jQuery and also with "selected" instead...
In my admin section, when I edit items, I have to attach each item to a parent item. I have a list of over 24,000 parent items, which are listed alphabetically in a drop down list (a list of music artists).

I don't recall ever running into this problem, but I have a gridview inside an UpdatePanel. The gridview has a DropDownList in a templated column. The DropDownList is populated during a RowDataBound event by binding to a generic list of strings. On the ASPX side, I have the templated row setup with a AutoPostBack="True" and a OnSelect...

Hey, I'm putting together a fairly simple HTML/Javascript/PHP form (I am fairly new to all of these).
