The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Inserting data from dropdown menu into sql db in vb .net

Asked by redouard in Visual Studio, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, .Net Editors & IDEs

Tags: , , , ,

I have an vb .net page that has a dropdown menu populated by a SQL table. The table has two fields, one for IDs and the other the ID's descriptions. The table has 12 rows. I've configured the dropdown menu to be populated like so:
            'Populate the drop down menu
            DropDownList3.DataSource = ds_1
            DropDownList3.DataSource = ds_1.Tables(0)
            DropDownList3.DataTextField = ds_1.Tables(0).Columns("ProfessionalType").ColumnName.ToString()
            DropDownList3.DataValueField = ds_1.Tables(0).Columns("ProfessionalTypeId").ColumnName.ToString()
            DropDownList3.DataBind()

However, when I select any ID description from the dropdown menu, the value entered to my custom table is always value 1 which the first value in the ID column.

How can I get the correct ID value inserted into my table when I select any of the ID description from the dropdown menu.

For example,
ID     idtype
1     Sam
2     Joe
3    Jack

When I select Jack from the dropdown menu and run the below command in vb .net
            AddCardioCom_Usr = "EXEC sp_AddCardioCom_Usr '" & TextBox3.Text & "', '" & TextBox4.Text & "','" & TextBox1.Text & "','" & TextBox2.Text & "','" & DropDownList2.SelectedValue & "','" & DropDownList3.SelectedValue & "'"
            Dim dbAddCardioCom_Usr As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(AddCardioCom_Usr, myconnection_1)

the value inserted in the backend is always 1.

Any suggestions!?
