SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items
- by Bob Jones
I encounter this problem repeatedly, and haven't a clue what is causing it. I get an exception in the DataBind: "SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items". Here are some important pieces of information:
1) I reload listOrgs periodically when the underlying data has changed.
2) The Organization.DTListAll call returns about 500 Int, String pairs.
3) There are no duplicate or null values in the returned data
4) After the first two lines below, listOrgs.Items.Count is 0, and the Selected Value is 0
5) The selected value when the DataBind operation executes is a value that is not in the set of ID values returned
6) All of the stuff I have found on line so far hasn't helped.
7) I am stumped!
listOrgs.Items.Clear();
listOrgs.SelectedValue = "0";
listOrgs.DataSource = new Organization().DTListAll(SiteID);
listOrgs.DataTextField = "OrganizationName";
listOrgs.DataValueField = "OrganizationID";
listOrgs.DataBind();
