problem with dropdown list

[AhmedMahmoud]

I have 3 textboxes (EmployeeName, EmployeeNumber, Password)
and 2 drodownlists (Department, JobTitle)

I made a gridview from employee table to insert data to it by clicking Submit button. Now I am facing a problem with the dropdownlist I dont know how to declare it.

Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data

Partial Class _Default
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Dim conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:\Users\USER\Desktop\WebSite5\App_Data\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")
    Dim sqlCom As New SqlCommand


    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        conn.Open()
        sqlCom.Connection = conn

        sqlCom.CommandText = "insert into EmployeeTable (EmpNumber, EmpName, DepartmentName, JobTitle, Password) VALUES ('" & TextBoxEmployeeNumber.Text & "', '" & TextBoxEmployeeName.Text & "', '" & TextBoxDepartment.Text & "', '" & TextBoxJobTitle.Text & "', '" & TextBoxPassword.Text & "')"

        sqlCom.ExecuteNonQuery()
        conn.Close()

    End Sub
End Class

Could anyone help me with this.

Is the DropDownList part of the GridView?
Is that why you can't get it?
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you don't know how to declare the DropDownList.

Hi,

I am able to make that you are submitting and employee information, which reflects in the gridview after inserting into DB.

You need to repopulate gridview values by select query from DB for every insert you do. For binding dropdown in gridview try to perform it inside "gridview_rowda tabound" event.
