Hi Peter
Thanks for replying, I am still having this problem. I have unchecked the option in Internet Explorer but, unfortunately, it makes no difference.
In order that you can see what code I have, I have created a small example so you can see what is happening. The Access db has one table tblDDL with two fields: an autonumber and a text field. Each text field contains the text ?flower?.
There is no problem displaying the data in the ddl. The problem is on post back and depends on the number of records that are bound to the ddl.
Using the following code, when there are 395 records or less, the page is posted back when I click the SearchButton. When there are 396 or more, when I click the SearchButton, I get the Internet Explorer message ?Page cannot be displayed? and the page is not posted back. It is the same with Web Matrix v0.5 and v0.6
Here is the code. I hope you can help as I need to populate these ddls with hundreds of items.
<%@ Page Language="VB" Explicit="true" Debug="True" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Data.OleDb" %>
<script runat="server">
Dim conn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=N:\asp stuff\testddl.mdb")
Dim DataAdapter As OleDbDataAdapter
Dim DSet As DataSet
Sub Page_Load(sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
If not Page.IsPostBack Then
conn.Open()
DSet = New DataSet()
DataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select DDLText from tblDDL", conn )
DataAdapter.Fill(DSet, "tblDSDDL")
With ddlTest
.DataSource = DSet
.DataTextField = "DDLText"
.DataBind
End With
End If
End Sub
Sub SearchButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Message.Text = "Page did Post Back"
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<p>
<asp:dropdownlist id="ddlTest" runat="server" AutoPostBack="False"></asp:dropdownlist>
<asp:Button id="SearchButton" onclick="SearchButton_Click" runat="server" Text="Search Button"></asp:Button>
