I have a Formview that gets populated with SQL data when a dropdown is selected, but when I click edit, it wants to edit the first item on the dropdown list, because technically it still thinks its on the first page. I want the paging to be linked to the drop down but I’m not exactly sure how to accomplish this. I have a many fields so I won’t post the full Formview but here’s the key parts.
Formview Item Template:
<ItemTemplate>
<table id="FormTable">
<tr><th>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ProjectNameDropDown" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
DataValueField="Project_Name" name="Text" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ProjectSelect" AppendDataBoundItems="true">
<asp:ListItem Text="Select a Project" />
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Visible="false">
</th>
<th>
<asp:Button ID="EditButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False"
CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit" />
<asp:Button ID="DeleteButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False"
CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" />
<asp:Button ID="NewButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False"
CommandName="New" Text="New" />
</th></tr>
<tr><th>
Business Category:
</th><td>
<asp:Label ID="BusinessCategoryLabel" runat="server"
Text='<%# Bind("Business_Category") %>'
/>
</td></tr>
<tr><th>
Project Description:
</th><td>
<asp:TextBox ID="ProjectDescriptionLabel" runat="server" ReadOnly="true"
Text='<%# Bind("Project_Description") %>' TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="5" />
</td></tr>
<tr><th>
Operations Owner:
</th><td>
<asp:Label ID="OwnerLabel" runat="server"
Text='<%# Bind("Operations_Owner") %>' />
</td></tr>

I imagine somehow telling the Formview what page to switch to when selecting from the dropdown but I haven’t been able to figure out the coding for that. Thanks for your help!
One way to do this (the way I’ve done it in the past) would be to move your databound
DropDownListoutside of theFormView. Then, bind yourFormViewto a differentSQLDataSourcethat’s dependent on theDropDownLists SelectedValue. So you would have a DDL with all your Project Names:AND a
FormViewthat is dependent upon what is selected in the DDL:This way, when you click the “Edit” button in your
FormView, you are editing the record you intended to edit.As a side-note, your Code Behind leaves you very vulnerable to SQL Injection. I’d be careful about that. Instead of using string concatenation to generate that SELECT query, you should use Parameterized queries
