Dropdown list in editable grid loses value

Nils Wyldbore

Hi,

 

I have an editable grid on a form based on a table business object. One of the fields is driven by a dropdown list.

 

This was developed and all working fine on my local machine. However, now I have deployed it to our UAT environment I get the following behaviour; the dropdown list is visible and selectable but when the user moves off that control, the value is blank.

 

Has anyone else come across this issue?

 

Regards,

 

Nils.

With help from the BPS Helpdesk, this issue has been resolved by making the following changes to the web.config file on the web server:

 

…
    <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script">
…
    </handlers>
    <directoryBrowse enabled="false"></directoryBrowse>
    <defaultDocument>
      <files>
        <clear></clear>
        <add value="Default.asp"></add>
        <add value="Default.aspx"></add>
        <add value="Default.htm"></add>
      </files>
    </defaultDocument>
    <httpErrors>
      <clear></clear>
    </httpErrors>
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=EmulateIE7"/>
      </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>
…

 

I also had to remove the Interop.ADODB, Metastorm.Runtime.Core and Metastorm.Runtime.Types DLLs from the Web\bin directory on both the application and web servers.

 

Personally, I think the actual fix was the addition of the custom header in the config file but hey, it’s working now.
