Refresh a drop down list.

[Junior1544]

I have a data entry form with a drop down list. How can I have a button that will open a new window so I can add data to the drop down??? The drop down is based on a field in the database. I can do all the database work, I'm having a hard time getting the window to come up and to refresh the drop down when it closes...

Any idea's??

Does it have to be a seperate window? It would be much easier if you just had it on your page:

- add a "New Item" button
- when the button is clicked, unhide a text box and
an "update" button on the screen
- when the user clicks the "update" button, insert the new
item into the database, hide the controls, and refresh
the drop down list.

It'll be cleaner for the users, and less messy than trying to get multiple windows to play nice.

First of all please accept my apologize. I have some questions that relate to this thread. Since I notice you are both knowledgable in what I want, please allow me to proceed.

I am new to ASP and SQL.

I have a WebApp that has a button to take me to a form page. On that page:

1. I want to be able to fill a drop down box with a list from a SQL db table. The table has two column and I want to option to use one or the other or both.

2. I want to select one from the list a fill out the rest of the form. Once the form is ready I want to insert the new data into SQL db table, different than no. one.

3. On the previous page, I have a datagrid with paging enabled. However, when I press next, it only refreshes the first ten and does not go to the next ten.

Please help.

Thanks.

I wish I could help you man, But I've just been developing with asp.net for about 3 months...

I only know what I need to to get my project up and running for the moment... Once I get my current project up and running, I will be experimenting with other stuff...

Sorry...
