Author  Topic  slmgt Starting Member 37 Posts Posted - 2011-01-20 : 15:58:32 [code]<asp:DropDownList id="drpBldgExclude" runat="server" DataSourceID="dsPhysicalDrowpdowns" DataTextField="display" DataValueField="value">[/code] I did not write this code nor am I ASP knowledgeable, but I am trying to learn how this works so I can create another dropdown beneath it. I do not understand how that code is connected to our SQL backend because I cannot find "dsPhysicalDrowpdowns" in any other files/in our DB and "drpBldgExclude" is not the same name as the column in the DB - it is Bldg_Exclude in the DB. My question is how do these dropdowns communicate with the DB and how would I add a new dropdown to communicate similarly with the DB? Thanks!
