I am trying to write a
quote generator. For each product, there are a set
of options. I want to dynamically add a drop down list for each option, and then have their SelectedIndexChanged events all wired up to update
the quote cost.
I am not having any trouble adding
the DropDownList controls to my UpdatePanel, but I can't seem to wire up
the events.
After
the page loads,
the drop downs are there, with their data, but changing them does not call
the SelectedIndexChanged event handler, nor does
the QuoteUpdatePanel update.
I have something like this:
QuotePanel.ASCX
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" />
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="QuoteUpdatePanel" runat="server" ChildrenAsTriggers="true">
<ContentTemplate>
Cost: <asp:Label ID="QuoteCostLabel" runat="server" />
<fieldset id="standard-options">
<legend>Standard Options</legend>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="StandardOptionsUpdatePanel" runat="server" ChildrenAsTriggers="true" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</fieldset>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
The code to add
the dropdowns and
the event they are to be wire up for:
protected void PopluateUpdatePanel(IQuoteProperty standardOptions)
foreach (IQuoteProperty standardOp in standardOptions)
{
QuotePropertyDropDownList<IQuoteProperty> dropDownList = new QuotePropertyDropDownList<IQuoteProperty>(standardOp);
dropDownList.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(QuotePropertyDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged);
dropDownList.ID = standardOp.GetType().Name + "DropDownList";
ScriptManager.RegisterAsyncPostBackControl(dropDownList);
Label propertyLabel = new Label() {Text = standardOp.Title, CssClass = "quote-property-label"};
this.StandardOptionsUpdatePanel.ContentTemplateContainer.Controls.Add(propertyLabel);
this.StandardOptionsUpdatePanel.ContentTemplateContainer.Controls.Add(dropDownList);
_standardOptionsListBoxes.Add(dropDownList);
AsyncPostBackTrigger trigger = new AsyncPostBackTrigger()
{
ControlID = dropDownList.UniqueID,
EventName = "SelectedIndexChanged"
};
this.StandardOptionsUpdatePanel.Triggers.Add(trigger);
}
}
void QuotePropertyDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
QuoteCostLabel.Text = QuoteCost.ToString();
}
