Greetings,
I have a problem to use selected value propriety of CascadingDropDown.
I have 3 asp dropdown controls with ajax CascadingDropDown for each one of them.
I have no problem to bind data to the 3 CascadingDropDown but my problem is to rebind CascadingDropDown.
simply what I want to do is to select a record from Gridview which has the selected values for the CascadingDropDown that I want to pass then rebind the CascadingDropDown with selected value.
I'm posting my code down which include:
1-ASP.NET code.
2-Code behind to handle selected record from grid view.
3- web servisice that handle binding data to the 3 CascadingDropDown.
please advice how to rebind data to CascadingDropDown with selected value.
by the way I used selected value proprety as showning in my code but it is not working and there is no error.
Thank you,
