Linq to SQL Where ControlParameter for text in dropdownlist
Hi EE,
I have an asp page with 4 dropdownlists (DD) and a grid. When a user selects a dropdown(DD) it automatically fills the next DD according to the selectedvalue.
Everything works fine when using the selected value, but on my last DD I have to take the text from the 3rd DD to filter the last DD.
For example, the 3rd DD has a list with CityID and CityName, instead of filtering the last DD by CityID, I need to match the CityName field with the SalonCity field in the last DD.
How would I do this using Linq to SQL?
Thanks

Haven't tried this, but give this a shot: PropertyName="SelectedItem .Text" Type="String" /> Arun
not sure why it posted incorrectly. Second trial.Arun
<WhereParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="ddCity" Name="CityName"
PropertyName="SelectedItem" Type="String" />
</WhereParameters>
PropertyName="SelectedItem .Text" Type="String" />
Ok.. my final answer is the first post.Arun

I see, I would need to add some additional code to get that to work.
