I have few items in the listbox. When I select an item, I store it in a string for further use, but when I display that string value it is shown as null.
Below is the code for my Invitee.aspx file:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Invitee.aspx.cs" Inherits="FinalProj2.Invitee" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

</div>
<asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" Height="310px"

</asp:ListBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Height="217px" Width="544px"></asp:TextBox>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And code for Invitee.aspx.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
namespace FinalProj2
{
public partial class Invitee : System.Web.UI.Page
{
FinalProj2.Models.DataClasses1DataContext db = new FinalProj2.Models.DataClasses1DataContext();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 1; i < 13; i++)
{
DropDownList1.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString()));
DropDownList4.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString()));
}
for (int i = 1; i < 32; i++)
{
DropDownList2.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString()));
DropDownList5.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString()));
}
for (int i = 2010; i < 2021; i++)
{
DropDownList3.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString()));
DropDownList6.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString()));
}
var query = from emp in db.Employees
select emp.Employee_Name;
ListBox1.DataSource = query;
ListBox1.DataBind();
}
protected void ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write("Hello");
string selected = ListBox1.SelectedValue.ToString();
Response.Write("\n Selected Value is" + selected);
var query = from emp in db.Employees
where emp.Employee_Name == selected
select emp.Employee_ID;
Response.Write(query);
//int empid = query.First();
//var query1 = from meet_emp in db.Meet_Emps
// where meet_emp.Employee_ID == empid
// select meet_emp.Meeting_ID;
//int meetid = query1.First();
//Response.Write(meetid);
}
}
}
Value of string "selected" is null after I select an item in list box.
