Question

I have a dropdownlist that displays “Select“, I want to insert an event handler in my code behind file using c#. So that when “Select” is selected in the dropdownlist it will display a warning message on the webpage.

Curretnly I have:

   protected void UpdateEmployeeBTN_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (DropDownListEmployee.SelectedValue == "Select")
        {
            Response.Write("warning");
            return false;
        }
 update code...
}

I get an error/warning message for the return statement: “returns void, a return keyword must not be followed by an object expression”.

The problem is here:

 return false;

Your event handler is declared as void – you cannot return a bool. Just do return;
