c# - Required Field Validator in ASP.NET not catching Inital Value in DropDownList when set in Codebehind -

-

i started populating dropdownlist's items table in database. ever since removed hard-coded items , started using auto-populated items requiredfieldvalidator doesn't seem notice initalvalue still selected when press submit.

i'm placing initial value "select genre" after pull items table.

here dropdownlist , validator:

<strong>genre:</strong> <asp:dropdownlist id="ddlgenres" runat="server"></asp:dropdownlist> <asp:requiredfieldvalidator id="rfvgenres" runat="server" controltovalidate="ddlgenres" initialvalue="select genre" errormessage="you must pick genre." forecolor="red"></asp:requiredfieldvalidator>

here code code behind i'm using populate dropdownlist:

//code outside of method static string connstring = system.configuration.configurationmanager.connectionstrings["defaultconnection"].connectionstring; sqlconnection conn = new sqlconnection(connstring);  private void populateddlgenres()     {          try         {             sqlcommand cmdgenre = new sqlcommand();             cmdgenre.commandtext = "select * genre";             cmdgenre.connection = conn;             conn.open();             datatable dt = new datatable();              dt.load(cmdgenre.executereader());             conn.close();              ddlgenres.datasource = dt;             ddlgenres.datatextfield = "genretext";             ddlgenres.datavaluefield = "genrevalue";             ddlgenres.databind();          }         catch (exception ex)         {             // handle error         }          ddlgenres.items.insert(0, new listitem("select genre", "0"));      }

you put textfield on initialvalue.

initialvalue="0" solve it

i realize question might seem trivial some, it's these types of things find myself fighting quite bit , want make sense of despite seeming losing battle in .net (for me anyway). so, if following: using system.web; ... applicationuser user = system.web.httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); that produces error in title , red getowincontext() , error cannot resolve symbol 'getowincontext()' however, if following (remove system.web in front of httpcontext ), works expected (or @ least no errors): using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); however, if (same line that's working using system.web commented out): //using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermana...

mercurial graft feature, can it copy? -

-
there new feature in mercurial 3, called 'graft' (graft local). job of moving change-set different branch. is there way "copy" change-set branch? i interested in in moving stuff qa branch production branch, still need code reside in qa. want copy. found , have tried few things, maybe it'll become clear more tinkering , reading... does have better way of 'cherry picking' change-sets move cross branch (or trunk)??? graft copies changesets, doesn't move them. hg graft (emphasis mine): this command uses mercurial's merge logic copy individual changes other branches without merging branches in history graph. known 'backporting' or 'cherry-picking' . default, graft copy user, date, , description source changesets.
