I have 2 drop down list ddlcountry
and DdPetPist
.
ddlcountry
has its own table in MYSQL database and so dose DdPetPist
, I would like ddlcounty
selection to change the table populating DdPetPist
. so change the table from UK_Animals
to France_Animals
. or `Germany_Animals.
Code that populates drop down list
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
MySqlCommand cd2 = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Country", cs); // need to make it so changes database
cs.Open();
MySqlDataReader ddlCountry = cd2.ExecuteReader();
ddlcountry.DataSource = ddlCountry;
ddlcountry.DataValueField = "Country";
ddlcountry.DataTextField = "Country";
ddlcountry.DataBind();
cs.Close();
cs.Dispose();
MySqlCommand cd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM UK_Animals", cs);
cs.Open();
MySqlDataReader ddlSpecie = cd.ExecuteReader();
DdPetPist.DataSource = ddlSpecie;
DdPetPist.DataValueField = "Specie";
DdPetPist.DataTextField = "Specie";
DdPetPist.DataBind();
cs.Close();
cs.Dispose();
}
on select change for ddlcountry
protected void ddlcountry_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
Would relay appreciate it if anyone could help.
Hope that I have understand correctly:
protected void ddlcountry_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(ddlcountry.Text!=string.Empty)
{
MySqlCommand cd = new MySqlCommand(string.Format("SELECT * FROM {0}_Animals",ddlcountry.Text), cs);
cs.Open();
MySqlDataReader ddlSpecie = cd.ExecuteReader();
DdPetPist.DataSource = ddlSpecie;
DdPetPist.DataValueField = "Specie";
DdPetPist.DataTextField = "Specie";
DdPetPist.DataBind();
cs.Close();
cs.Dispose();
}
}
