20.1 How to bind an ArrayList to a DropDownList?


VB.NET


Dim arrList As ArrayList = New ArrayList
arrList.Add("Faq")
arrList.Add("Tips")
arrList.Add("Tricks")
DropDownList1.DataSource = arrList
DropDownList1.DataBind()


C#


ArrayList arrList = new ArrayList();
arrList.Add("Faq");
arrList.Add("Tips");
arrList.Add("Tricks");
DropDownList1.DataSource = arrList;
DropDownList1.DataBind();



20.2 How to check if the ArrayList is empty?


VB.NET


if arrList= 0 then
..
else
..
end if


C#


if (arrList ==0)
{
...
}
else
{
...
}



20.3 I get the error message "DataGrid with id 'DataGrid1' could not automatically generate any columns from the selected data source" when I bind a HashTable to the DataGrid?


Set the AutoGenerateColumns property of the DataGrid to False.Sample code below VB.NET


<asp:DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns=False id="DataGrid1" runat="server">
<Columns >
     <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="HashTable">
           <ItemTemplate>
          <%# Container.DataItem.Key %> <br>
           <%# Container.DataItem.Value %>
          </ItemTemplate>
     </asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>

'In Page_Load
Dim ht As New Hashtable()
ht.Add("emp1", "A")
ht.Add("emp2", "B")
ht.Add("emp3", "C")

DataGrid1.DataSource = ht
DataGrid1.DataBind()



C#


<asp:DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns=False id="DataGrid1" runat="server">
<Columns >
     <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="HashTable">
          <ItemTemplate>
           <%# ((DictionaryEntry)Container.DataItem).Key %><br>
           <%# ((DictionaryEntry)Container.DataItem).Value %>
      </ItemTemplate>
     </asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>

//In Page_Load
Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
ht.Add ("emp1", "A");
ht.Add ("emp2", "B");
ht.Add ("emp3", "C");

DataGrid1.DataSource = ht;
DataGrid1.DataBind();
