<ww:wwWebDropDownList ID="cboHome" runat='server' DataTextField="Desc" DataValueField="Key" ControlSource="Home" </ww:wwWebDropDownList>

On all my dropdownlists like above, I get a databinding error. The proper values are displayed and saved upon submit.

They all function properly except for the binding error. I know this is depreciated code but this is the only way I know how to input data in a repeater.

Grid does not seem to have the same flexibility.

thanks

One of those fields is invalid or the data that is displayed might be. Perhaps a null value in the list that's throwing an error half way through the list rendering?

The control source is a 3 character field in a database

The data value is a three character field in a cursor There could be two letters and a space.

The data text is a 25 character field with a team name of 2 or 3 words. In the same cursor as the value.

I don't know.

Set a breakpoint in the wwWebDropdown control code and see what's throwing the error.

Sorry the data source is a cursor. The related dbf is being updated by using avars to review the answers entered to Update the dbf.

SELECT schedule
GO top
this.cboTeams.databind

Needed to have the file where the datasource resided open before doing databind. Solved the errors.

Thanks for the help.

I don't understand how you could have said that it worked before (except for the binding error) - that you could select values and save when the cursor was not actually correctly bound? If you got a biding error because the list was not bound there would be no data to display...

lnVars = Request.aFormVars(@laVars) 
FOR lnx = 1 TO lnVars
	lcActiveID = this.RepClosest.UniqueId+"_Cbowinner_"+ TRANSFORM(lnx)
	lnWinnerPK = VAL(Request.Form(lcActiveId))

First all the binding errors are in Repeaters. So the dropdown of available answers portion works and I am guessing that the selected value is set there also. The binding error was generated in the dropdown code executed before the repeater code is executed. I use the above to pull the data out when page is Submitted.

It has worked for years but in a new page I had too many drop downs to ignore. Glad to figure it out.

Thanks for all you do.
