    <p>Ok I really hope you guys can help me with this, I've spent the past 2 days trying to figure it out and I think I'm about to throw my computer out the window, so I thought I might as well ask here first:</p> <p>I'm designing a web page with two dropdownlists, one for the Make of a car, the other for the Model, both bound to a database with separate SQLDataSources, and using a distinct statement. I add "All" at the top of both by setting appendDataBoundItems = true and adding items named all. Then when I fill the Make with a querystring all the model items get added twice (but only the databound items).</p> <p>Here's my code:</p> <pre><code> &lt;asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownMake" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlMakes" DataTextField="Make" DataValueField="Make" AppendDataBoundItems="True" EnableViewState="False" AutoPostBack="True"&gt; &lt;asp:ListItem Selected="True" Value="All"&gt;All&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt; &lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt; &lt;asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownModel" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="True" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="SqlModels" DataTextField="Model" DataValueField="Model" EnableViewState="False"&gt; &lt;asp:ListItem&gt;All&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt; &lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt; &lt;asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlMakes" runat="server" ConnectionString="&lt;%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %&gt;" SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [Make] FROM [Parts]"&gt; &lt;/asp:SqlDataSource&gt; &lt;asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlModels" runat="server" ConnectionString="&lt;%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %&gt;" SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [Model] FROM [Parts] WHERE ([Make] = @Make)"&gt; &lt;SelectParameters&gt; &lt;asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownMake" Name="Make" PropertyName="SelectedValue" /&gt; &lt;/SelectParameters&gt; &lt;/asp:SqlDataSource&gt; </code></pre> <p>'And in the VB file:</p> <pre><code>Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init DropDownMake.SelectedValue = Request.QueryString("Make") DropDownModel.SelectedValue = Request.QueryString("Model") End Sub </code></pre> <p>If I remove the line "DropDownMake.SelectedValue = Request.QueryString("Make")" it doesnt produce duplicates anymore. What is going on?? I swear I've spent more time developing entire iphone apps, if anyone helps figure this out I think I'm going to have to make an award for you.</p> <p>Thank you!!</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.
