Hello my fellow Daniwebers, I have a question for you.
I have quite an odd problem that I have researched and have not been able to find a solution.
I have a formview, named frmStatus, from which I am trying to retrieve controls to check for values.
The form is in Insert mode and contains three drop down boxes, from which I am trying to reference.
Here is what I have tryed:
'Declaration of variables'
Dim cboStatus As New Control
Dim cboAction As New Control
Dim cboChange As New Control
'Assigning the controls.'
Protected Sub frmStatus_PreRender(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles frmStatus.PreRender
cboStatus = Me.frmStatus.FindControl("cboStatus")
cboAction = Me.frmStatus.FindControl("cboAction")
cboChange = Me.frmStatus.FindControl("cboChange")
End Sub
'Trying to capture the insert and check for default text.'
Protected Sub frmStatus_ItemInserting(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewInsertEventArgs) Handles frmStatus.ItemInserting
Dim cboS As DropDownList = TryCast(cboStatus, DropDownList)
Dim cboA As DropDownList = TryCast(cboAction, DropDownList)
Dim cboC As DropDownList = TryCast(cboChange, DropDownList)
If IsNothing(cboS) = False And IsNothing(cboA) = False And IsNothing(cboC) = False Then
If cboS.Text = "-- Select Status --" Then
MsgBox("Please select status.")
e.Cancel = True
ElseIf cboA.Text = "-- Select Action Type --" Then
MsgBox("Please select action type.")
e.Cancel = True
ElseIf cboC.Text = "-- Select Default Change Status --" Then
MsgBox("Please select change status.")
e.Cancel = True
Else
e.Cancel = False
End If
Else
MsgBox("Could not convert controls.")
End If
End Sub
From the code above, the top level else is always thrown.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
