Hi Palavesh,

Of course. You can do it like this.

State:<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="dlState">
</asp:DropDownList>
City:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="dlCity" >
</asp:DropDownList>
District:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="dlDistrict">
</asp:DropDownList>
<cc1:CascadingDropDown ID="CascadingDropDown1" BehaviorID="myCDEState" runat="server" TargetControlID="dlState"
Category="State" ServicePath="../WebService/CityServiceOledb.asmx" ServiceMethod="GetStates" LoadingText="[Loading...]" PromptText="Please select state">
</cc1:CascadingDropDown>
<cc1:CascadingDropDown ID="CascadingDropDown2" BehaviorID="myCDECity" runat="server"TargetControlID="dlCity" ParentControlID="dlState"
Category="City"PromptText="Select a city" ServicePath="../WebService/CityServiceOledb.asmx"
ServiceMethod="GetCities" LoadingText="Load cities..." >
</cc1:CascadingDropDown>
<cc1:CascadingDropDown ID="CascadingDropDown3" BehaviorID="myCDDistrict" runat="server"TargetControlID="dlDistrict" ParentControlID="dlState"
Category="District" PromptText="Select a district" ServicePath="../WebService/CityServiceOledb.asmx"
ServiceMethod="GetDistricts" LoadingText="Load districts..." >
</cc1:CascadingDropDown>

I hope this help.

Hi Palavesh,

You have four CascadingDropDowns on the page, I suggest that you should add a CascadingDropDown for Dlstate. To debug it , please reference to thisthread.

Question about the ScriptManagerProxy

I have a question about the ScriptManagerProxy control.

I have a .master page that uses an UpdatePanel with a ScriptManager and I want the child pages of this MasterPage to be able to use an UpdatePanel control also. I can't have another ScriptManager control on the child pages so how do I use the ScriptManagerProxy control to point to the ScriptManager on the MasterPage? Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi,

the ScriptManagerProxy is used to add references to script files and web services, but nothing prevents you to use an UpdatePanel in a child page, if you have the ScriptManager on the master page.

Oh okay. So I don't even need a ScriptManagerProxy control. I can just use the ScriptManager that I have in the .master page. I'll try it out and then let you know how it goes...Thanks!

I did what you said (pretty simple and easy, I was making it too complex) and it worked great! But, I didn't/don't have enough knowledge about the UpdatePanel that this was not exactly what I wanted it to do. I'll try to explain it as best as I can.

On my .master page I have a menu with several hyperlinks. All of these hyperlinks point to the same page (links.aspx which is a child page of the .master page) However, these hyperlinks carry with them a QueryString of data that will very depending upon which hyperlink the user clicked on. What I want to happen is this: When a user clicks on a hyperlink on the menu it will just update that part of the site with the new data that is brought in in accord with the QueryString and does not refresh the entire page. I think it might have something to do with the triggers in the UpdatePanel. Does this make any sense?

Thanks,
