I am trying to get a drop down and a form view to work together. I’ve never used form views before. I also am using the entity framework to do everything. This is also my first time with it.
I want to be able to have a drop down, that is populate from the same data source as the form view. So far that works fine.
I then want to be able to change the drop down item, and it change the form view item that is displayed. I cannot figure out how to make this work.
I found an answer that will work. On the entity framework data source I included a where parameter that is a control that points to the drop down. So when I change the drop down I have an event handler that puts the form view in either insert mode if nothing was selected or read only mode if I selected something. I don’t know if this is the best way, but it is working ok for now. Later I’ll try and learn more about using form views to see how other people use them.
