Bind a users role to dropdown?
- by Dynde
Hi...
I'm trying to bind a selected user's role to a dropdown-list.
The purpose of this is to be able to change said user's role.
I'm attempting this inside a formview hooked up to a linqdatasource which contains a row from the aspnet_User table.
The dropdown list is hooked up to a linqdatasource of all the roles in the aspnet_Roles table (with DataValueField="RoleID", DataTextField="RoleName").
I figured it would be possible with something like:
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("aspnet_UsersInRole[0].aspnet_Role.RoleID") %>'
But this throws a parser exception, about the bind call not being correctly formatted.
The roles are there, they show up when I remove the "SelectedValue"
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
