In my ASP.NET 4.5 WebForms app, In my ListView I am trying to bind DropDownList, but am not able to do it. Actually, the Model that is bind to ListView, has a Property of UnitdirectionId & on Edit & Insert Templates' I want to show the dropdown of all UnitDirection table.
Here is my EditTempalte :
<EditItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="unitDirTxt" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("UnitDirectionId") %>'></asp:TextBox>
<!-- <asp:DynamicControl runat="server" DataField="UnitDirectionId" ID="UnitDirectionId" Mode="Edit" /> -->
<asp:DropDownList ID="unitDirEditDrop" runat="server" ItemType="VincitoreCRMApplication.Models.UnitDirection"
DataTextField="DirectionTitle" DataValueField="UnitDirectionId"
SelectMethod="GetUnitDirections"></asp:DropDownList>
</td>
</tr>
</EditItemTemplate>
In Code behind,
public IQueryable<UnitDirection> GetUnitDirections()
{
return _db.UnitDirections;
}
Now, the Model of LsitView has the proerpty as follows :
[Display(Name= "Unit Direction")]
public int UnitDirectionId { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("UnitDirectionId")]
public virtual UnitDirection UnitDirection { get; set; }
Now, the UnitDirection Model :
public class UnitDirection
{
[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
public int UnitDirectionId { get; set; }
[Required]
[Display]
public string DirectionTitle { get; set; }
}
ERROR that I get is :

In db the UnitDirection table has 3 items.
With the above drop down, I believe I should atleast get list of all UnitDirection in drop down. But on that I am getting error. Then comes to set the selected item in Edit Template.
Can you please help me identify why I am getting this error ?? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
