A simple query , i want to populate the dropdownlist with number starting from 17 to 90 , and the last number should be a string like 90+ instead of 90. I guess the logic will be using a for loop something like:
for (int a = 17; a <= 90; a++)
{
ddlAge.Items.Add(a.ToString());
}
Also I want to populate the text and value of each list item with the same numbers.
Any ideas?
for (int i = 17; i < 90; i++)
{
ddlAge.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString(), i.ToString()));
}
ddlAge.Items.Add(new ListItem("90+", "90"));
Try this:
for (int a = 17; a <= 90; a++)
{
var i = (a == 90 ? a.ToString() + '+': a.ToString());
ddlAge.Items.Add(new ListItem(i, i));
}
This is easy enough. You need to instantiate the ListItem class and populate its properties and then add it to your DropDownList.
private void GenerateNumbers()
{
// This would create 1 - 10
for (int i = 1; i < 11; i++)
{
ListItem li = new ListItem();
li.Text = i.ToString();
li.Value = i.ToString();
ddlAge.Items.Add(li);
}
}
for (int a = 17; a <= 90; a++)
{
ddlAge.Items.Add(new ListItem(a.ToString(), a.ToString()));
}
for (int i = 17; i <= 90; i++)
{
ddlAge.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString(), i.ToString()));
}
ddlAge.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Select Age", "0")); //First Item
ddlAge.Items.Insert(ddlAge.Items.Count, new ListItem("90+", "90+")); //Last Item
for (int i = 0; i <=91; i++)
{
if (i == 0)
{
ddlAge.Items.Add("Select Age");
}
else if(i<=90)
{
ddlAge.Items.Add(i.ToString());
i++;
}
else
{
ddlAge.Items.Add("90+");
}
}
