This error just came up in my GridView because I have 6 dropdownlist in the GridView in EditItemTemplate, and when I click Edit, this error occurs:
System.Web.HttpException: There can be multiple items selected in DropDownList.
This is my Code-Behind:
Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridViewRowEventArgs)
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow AndAlso GridView1.EditIndex = e.Row.RowIndex Then
Dim ddlParIDF As DropDownList = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("ddlParIDF"), DropDownList)
Dim ddlFilaIDF As DropDownList = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("ddlFilaIDF"), DropDownList)
Dim ddlTabIDF As DropDownList = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("ddlTabIDF"), DropDownList)
ddlParIDF.Items.FindByValue(TryCast(e.Row.FindControl("lblParIDF"), Label).Text).Selected = True
ddlFilaIDF.Items.FindByValue(TryCast(e.Row.FindControl("lblFilaIDF"), Label).Text).Selected = True
ddlTabIDF.Items.FindByValue(TryCast(e.Row.FindControl("lblTabIDF"), Label).Text).Selected = True
Dim ddlFilaMDF As DropDownList = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("ddlFilaMDF"), DropDownList)
Dim ddlTabMDF As DropDownList = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("ddlTabMDF"), DropDownList)
Dim ddlParMDF As DropDownList = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("ddlParMDF"), DropDownList)
ddlFilaMDF.Items.FindByValue(TryCast(e.Row.FindControl("lblFilaMDF"), Label).Text).Selected = True
ddlTabIDF.Items.FindByValue(TryCast(e.Row.FindControl("lblTabMDF"), Label).Text).Selected = True
ddlParMDF.Items.FindByValue(TryCast(e.Row.FindControl("lblParMDF"), Label).Text).Selected = True
End If
End Sub
I use a Label inside EditItemTemplate next to the DropDownList to save the last selected value of the dropdownlist, but I realize that if I remove the ".Selected = True" from two or more Label, this error no longer happens, but the disadvantage is that it will not save the last value chosen from the DropDownList.
To fill the DropDownList I use the ListItems within the gridview.
Or if someone knows that there is another way to maintain the selected value, if you could help me too.
Thanks to everyone!
