How to clear selection from dropdown and select nothing?
posted

Hello,

I have a dropdown in webdatagrid cell and It has two list items bound by asp object datasource. Inital value remains blank but once i make a selection I have to select either of it and I can never clear that cell. I want to be able to clear that cell . In short its a nullable column and the option should be like Y, N and blank(clear the cell).

<ig:DropDownProvider ID="exclPosnDropdown">
<EditorControl ID="exlPosn" runat="server" DisplayMode="DropDownList" DataSourceID="exclPosn" ValueField ="excl_posn_ind_id" TextField="code" >

<DropDownItemBinding TextField="code" ValueField="excl_posn_ind_id" />
</EditorControl>

</ig:DropDownProvider>

</asp:ObjectDataSource>

<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="exclPosn" runat="server" SelectMethod="GetExclPosn"
TypeName="RiskManagementWeb.GridsForms.ModifyPositions" >


</asp:ObjectDataSource>

Please let me know how can I implement this.

    Hi Jdag,

    Thank you for post in our community!

    There is no problem to use empty string if you want to achieve blank value in the dropdown editor. I'm sending you a sample that demonstrate such behavior.

    Please, let me know whether you need any further assistance!
