DropDownList Having CheckBoxes

<table>
      <tr>
            <td valign="top" style="width: 165px">
                  <asp:PlaceHolder ID="phDDLCHK" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
            </td>
            <td valign="top">
                  <asp:Button ID="btn" runat="server" Text="Get Checked" OnClick="btn_Click" />
            </td>
            <td valign="top">
                  <asp:Label ID="lblSelectedItem" runat="server"></asp:Label>
            </td>
      </tr></table><asp:HiddenField ID="hidList" runat="server" />

Step 2: Add below lines of code on page load.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
      ddl.ID = "ddlChkList";
      ListItem lstItem = new ListItem();
      ddl.Items.Insert(0, lstItem);
      ddl.Width = new Unit(155);
      ddl.Attributes.Add("onmousedown", "showdivonClick()");
      CheckBoxList chkBxLst = new CheckBoxList();
      chkBxLst.ID = "chkLstItem";
      chkBxLst.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "showdiv()");
      DataTable dtListItem = GetListItem();
      int rowNo = dtListItem.Rows.Count;
      string lstValue = string.Empty;
      string lstID = string.Empty;
      for (int i = 0; i < rowNo - 1; i++)
      {
            lstValue = dtListItem.Rows[i]["Value"].ToString();
            lstID = dtListItem.Rows[i]["ID"].ToString();
            lstItem = new ListItem("<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" id=\"alst\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:Black; \" onclick=\"getSelectedItem(' " + lstValue + "','" + i + "','" + lstID + "','anchor');\">" + lstValue + "</a>", dtListItem.Rows[i]["ID"].ToString());
            lstItem.Attributes.Add("onclick", "getSelectedItem('" + lstValue + "','" + i + "','" + lstID + "','listItem');");
            chkBxLst.Items.Add(lstItem);
      }
      System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl div = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("div");
      div.ID = "divChkList";
      div.Controls.Add(chkBxLst);
      div.Style.Add("border", "black 1px solid");
      div.Style.Add("width", "160px");
      div.Style.Add("height", "180px");
      div.Style.Add("overflow", "AUTO");
      div.Style.Add("display", "none");
      phDDLCHK.Controls.Add(ddl);
      phDDLCHK.Controls.Add(div);
}

Step 3:  
Place below javascript method in the aspx page  or you can place it in .js file and include it in the page.
showdiv method will be called on mouse over of div.
showdivonClick will be invoked on click of dropdownlist.
getSelectedItem will be called on click of checkbox and anchor.
check will be call on any click on the page basically it is used to hide the div on click of any where on the page apart from div.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
      function showdiv() {
            document.getElementById("divChkList").style.display = "block";
      }
      function showdivonClick() {
            var objDLL = document.getElementById("divChkList");
            if (objDLL.style.display == "block")
                  objDLL.style.display = "none";
            else
                  objDLL.style.display = "block";
      }      function getSelectedItem(lstValue, lstNo, lstID, ctrlType) {
            var noItemChecked = 0;
            var ddlReport = document.getElementById("ddlChkList");
            var selectedItems = "";
            var arr = document.getElementById("chkLstItem").getElementsByTagName('input');
            var arrlbl = document.getElementById("chkLstItem").getElementsByTagName('label');
            var objLstId = document.getElementById('hidList');
            for (i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
                  checkbox = arr[i];
                  if (i == lstNo) {
                        if (ctrlType == 'anchor') {
                              if (!checkbox.checked) {
                                    checkbox.checked = true;
                              }
                              else {
                                    checkbox.checked = false;
                              }
                        }
                  }
                  if (checkbox.checked) {
                        if (selectedItems == "") {
                              selectedItems = arrlbl[i].innerText;
                        }
                        else {
                              selectedItems = selectedItems + "," + arrlbl[i].innerText;
                        }
                        noItemChecked = noItemChecked + 1;
                  }
            }
            ddlReport.title = selectedItems;
            var Text = ddlReport.options[ddlReport.selectedIndex].text;
            if (noItemChecked == 1)
                  ddlReport.options[ddlReport.selectedIndex].text = lstValue;
            else
                  ddlReport.options[ddlReport.selectedIndex].text = noItemChecked + " Items";
            document.getElementById('hidList').value = ddlReport.options[ddlReport.selectedIndex].text;
      }  
      document.onclick = check;
      function check(e) {
            var target = (e && e.target) || (event && event.srcElement);
            var obj = document.getElementById('divChkList');
            var obj1 = document.getElementById('ddlChkList');
            if (target.id != "alst" && !target.id.match("chkLstItem")) {
                  if (!(target == obj || target == obj1)) {
                        obj.style.display = 'none'
                  }
                  else if (target == obj || target == obj1) {
                        if (obj.style.display == 'block') {
                              obj.style.display = 'block';
                        }
                        else {
                              obj.style.display = 'none';
                              document.getElementById('ddlChkList').blur();
                        }
                  }
            }
      }
</script> 

Step 4: btn_Click method will be used to get to get the selected checkbox status in the dropdownlist.

protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      string strSelectedItem = string.Empty;
      CheckBoxList chk = (CheckBoxList)phDDLCHK.FindControl("chkLstItem");
      DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)Page.FindControl("ddlChkList");
      for (int i = 0; i < chk.Items.Count; i++)
      {
            if (chk.Items[i].Selected)
            {
                  if (strSelectedItem.Length == 0)
                  {
                        strSelectedItem = chk.Items[i].Selected.ToString();
                  }
                  else
                  {
                        strSelectedItem = strSelectedItem + "," + chk.Items[i].Selected.ToString();
                  }
            }
      }
      ddl.Items.Clear();
      ddl.Items.Add(new ListItem(hidList.Value));
      lblSelectedItem.Text = strSelectedItem;
}
Step 5: Now add a method to get datatable which will be bind to checkboxlist.

public DataTable GetListItem()
{
      DataTable table = new DataTable();
      table.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(int));
      table.Columns.Add("Value", typeof(string));
      table.Rows.Add(1, "ListItem1");
      table.Rows.Add(2, "ListItem2");
      table.Rows.Add(3, "ListItem3");
      table.Rows.Add(4, "My ListItem Wraps also");
      table.Rows.Add(5, "My New ListItem5");
      table.Rows.Add(6, "ListItem6");
      table.Rows.Add(7, "ListItem7");
      table.Rows.Add(8, "ListItem8");
      return table;
}

GRIDVIEW GROUPING

When displaying data, we sometimes would like to group data for better user experience or when displaying long list of hierarchal data, we would want to display them in a tree view kind of structure. There is more than way of doing this, but I am going to explain achieving this functionality using  AJAX Collapsible Panel Extender Control . Overview: I am going to use  Adventure Works  as datasource. Every product in  Production.Product  table belongs to a product sub category. We fetch handful of products and the sub categories they belong to from the database. Our objective is to list all the available sub categories and allow user to  expand/collapse  to look/hide the list of products belonging to each subcategory. Database Connection Added following entry under  connectionStrings  element in  web.config . < add   name = "Sql"   connectionString="Data Source=(local); Initial  Catalog = AdventureWorks ...

ADO.NET Concepts With example

COMMAND OBJECT  Command object is the biggest object in ADO.NET  It is the only object which can perform actions with database  It  can be created directly using Command class or can be created using Connection.Create command (factory classes also contain creation of Command). Ex:  SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection("......");    SqlCommand sqlCmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand();  Commands that we run depend upon the kind of query that we want to execute with database. All databases support two types of queries. i. Action Queries ii. Non-action Queries Action queries are those which change the state of database and which don‟t return any query results(though they return the number of records affected). Ex: Insert, Delete and Update statements Non-action queries are those which don‟t affect the database but return the results to the user. Ex: Select statement Method of execution of queries: Command object provides the following methods to execute queries: 1. Ex...
