Drop down list problem for editing req in grid view

Question

Hi, I am trying to do an edit req and when I click on the edit, one of the options is DDL. However, there is a prob. I am not sure of how to resolve it.
This is the business logic for the DDL:

 

protected void 
gvChecklist_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) 

{

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Footer) 

{

DropDownList cmbStatus = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("cmbStatus"); 

cmbStatus.DataSource = vrmdb.Get_Status();

cmbStatus.DataTextField = "status"; 

cmbStatus.DataValueField = "status"; 

cmbStatus.DataBind();

}

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) 

{

DropDownList cmbNewStatus = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("cmbNewStatus"); 

if (cmbNewStatus != null) 

{

cmbNewStatus.DataSource = vrmdb.Get_Status();

cmbNewStatus.DataTextField = "status"; 

cmbNewStatus.DataValueField = "status"; 

cmbNewStatus.DataBind();

cmbNewStatus.SelectedValue = 
gvChecklist.DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Values[1].ToString();

};

}

} 

protected void 
gvChecklist_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) 

{

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Footer) 

{

DropDownList cmbStatus = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("cmbStatus"); 

cmbStatus.DataSource = vrmdb.Get_Status();

cmbStatus.DataTextField = "status"; 

cmbStatus.DataValueField = "status"; 

cmbStatus.DataBind();

}

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) 

{

DropDownList cmbNewStatus = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("cmbNewStatus"); 

if (cmbNewStatus != null) 

{

cmbNewStatus.DataSource = vrmdb.Get_Status();

cmbNewStatus.DataTextField = "status"; 

cmbNewStatus.DataValueField = "status"; 

cmbNewStatus.DataBind();

cmbNewStatus.SelectedValue = 
gvChecklist.DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Values[1].ToString();

};

}

}

This is the error:

the collection.

Answer 1

HI friend,

gvChecklist.DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Values[1].ToString()

I have doubt on this statement. Did you set the Datakeys property of your grid in designer?? if you have already set it then make sure. .it should have two fields in comma separated form cause you have use value[1]. means here you are attempting to access the second indexed value from datakey collection.
if you are using only one field as datakey then use Value[0].

Thanks..
