Hi All,

I have a website, where in I can select the customer from a drop down list.

I would like to hide some of the customers name from being displayed in the drop down list as these customers have terminated services with us.

I wish to just hide the item to be displayed at run-time and not remove it.

Any idea ?? As i know how to remove but not sure to hide.

Appreciate for your feedback...

Regards,
Janavi

Hi,

I agree with above solution,that you just only retrieve 'A' flag Customer before binding(if you added flag for customers),
i.e.

e.g.

SQL

select customer from cust_tbl where rec_status='A';

Otherwise you just remove it manually at runtime,i.e.

C#

ddlcustomer.Items.Remove("Customer_id");

if there are multiple then just add it into LIST and remove listItem from dropdown same as above remove statement.

hope this will help you...

If you have a Flag in your Database table where customer information is stored , then you can filter the record which are active before binding it to Dropdown , else you can hide it using Linq

//a.Flag or (Your Filter criteria to identify the cusotmer is active or inactive

var customerList= GetCustomertList();  
customerList= customerList.Where(a => a.Flag != "Not Active or your interger value").ToList();

then bind the customerList to dropdown.
