    <p>I have a website for dance academy where Users can register and add/drop dance classes.</p> <p>In the web page to drop a particular dance, for a particular user, the dropdown displays her registered dances.</p> <p>Now I want to delete one of the dances from the list. So I'll remove the row from the table and also from the dropdownlist. The problem is that everytime the item with the lowest ID (index) is getting deleted, no matter which one the user selects. I think I am storing the DataTextField and DataValueField for the dropdown incorrectly. The code is: </p> <pre><code>private void PopulateDanceDropDown() { // Retrieve the username MembershipUser currentUser = Membership.GetUser(); var username = currentUser.UserName; // Retrive the userid of the curren user var dancerIdFromDB = from d in context.DANCER where d.UserName == username select d.UserId; Guid dancerId = new Guid(); var first = dancerIdFromDB.FirstOrDefault(); if (first != null) { dancerId = first; } dances.DataSource = (from dd in context.DANCER_AND_DANCE where dd.UserId == dancerId select new { Text = dd.DanceName, Value = dd.DanceId }).ToList(); dances.DataTextField = "Text"; dances.DataValueField = "Value"; dances.DataBind(); } protected void dropthedance(object o, EventArgs e) { String strDataValueField = dances.SelectedItem.Value; int danceIDFromDropDown = Convert.ToInt32(strDataValueField); var dancer_dance = from dd in context.DANCER_AND_DANCE where dd.DanceId == danceIDFromDropDown select dd; foreach (var dndd in dancer_dance) { context.DANCER_AND_DANCE.DeleteOnSubmit(dndd); } try { context.SubmitChanges(); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex); } } </code></pre> <p>The problem is in the line: </p> <pre><code>String strDataValueField = dances.SelectedItem.Value; </code></pre> <p>The strDataValueField is always getting the minimum id from the list of dance item ids in the dropdown (which happens by default). I want this to hold the id of the dance selected by the user.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
