Question

I already retrieved my database(DescriptionCode) on dropdownlist inside on a repeater.

Now, I’m trying to save/add/insert on my database the selected value of dropdownlist but i

failed.

Any assistance gratefully received. Thanks!

 protected void GeneralRepeater_OnItemDataBound(object sender,
                                               RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||
            e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
        {
            DropDownList myDDL = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("GeneralDDL");
            Diagnosis oDiagnosis = new Diagnosis();
            PlanOfCare oPlanOfCare = new PlanOfCare();
            DataView dv = new DataView(oDiagnosis.GetDiagnosis());
            myDDL.DataSource = PatientDiagnosis1;
            myDDL.DataTextField = "DiagnosisCode";
            myDDL.DataValueField = "DiagnosisCode";
            myDDL.DataBind();

            //PUT AN EMPTY FIELD FOR DROPDOWNLIST
            ListItem LI = new ListItem("", "");
            myDDL.Items.Insert(0, LI);
            myDDL.SelectedValue = "0";



        }
    }


 protected void cmdSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    oPlanofCareSave.DiagnosesCode = //[1]this must the selected value of dropdownlist inside of repater
    PlanSave(ooPlanofCareSave);
}

Answer 1

DropDownList myDDL = (DropDownList)GeneralRepeater.Items[indexvalue].FindControl("GeneralDDL");

oPlanofCareSave.DiagnosesCode = myDDL.SelectedValue;

it is easy to do it like that
