Fixed it by closing the connetion at page init and then reopen at Dropdownlist.
I've searched for an answer to this question but without any luck.
I want to get data from a selected dropdownlist item to a textbox. I've been trying to execute this sql query without any success.
Here's my code:
public partial class EditContact : System.Web.UI.Page
{
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("SqlConnection");
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
connection.Open();
SqlCommand SqlCommandDD = new SqlCommand("SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName AS 'TextField', Contact_ID, Email, PhoneNumber, CompanyID FROM ContactPerson");
SqlCommandDD.Connection = connection;
DropDownList2.DataSource = SqlCommandDD.ExecuteReader();
DropDownList2.DataValueField = "Contact_ID";
DropDownList2.DataTextField = "TextField";
DropDownList2.DataBind();
}
protected void DropDownList2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string fNameTemp = DropDownList2.SelectedValue;
string sqlquery = ("SELECT FirstName FROM ContactPerson WHERE (Contact_ID = " + fNameTemp + ")");
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(sqlquery, connection);
SqlDataReader sdr = command.ExecuteReader();
fNameTextBox.Text = sdr.ToString();
}
}
