Unable to display value in a page.

Hi,

 

I am trying to display picklist field output in visualforce page in the page block section as shown below:

 

VF Page:

------------

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="VisualAccountExtension" title="Display Accounts" >

                          <!-- other lines of code -->

 <apex:pageBlockSection title="{!UserTypeValue} is the type ">

                <!-- other lines of code -->

</apex:page>

 

In the extension "VisualAccountExtension", I have mentioned as :

--------------------------------------------------

 

List<User> UserTypeList = new List<User>();

String UserTypeValue  {get;set:}

 

 

 public String getUserTypeValue()
    {
        return UserTypeValue;
    }    
    public void SetUserTypeValue()
    {
        UserTypeList = [select Type__c from User where Id =:UserInfo.getUserId()];
        UserTypeValue = UserTypeList[0].Type__c;        
    }   

 

But I am not getting any output, in the page block section just   "is the type" is being displayed but I am not seeing the value of "UserTypeValue" in the visual force page.

Can some please help me where am I going wrong?

 

Thanks,

Babu.

I would move the following lines into the getter (before 'return'):

 

UserTypeList = [select Type__c from User where Id =:UserInfo.getUserId()];
UserTypeValue = UserTypeList[0].Type__c;

Thanks a ton, it worked like charm.

I was in the conception that setter method we have to initialize and getter method is used to return the values.

Can you please clarify me when to use the statements in getter and when to use in setter?

 

Thanks,

Babu.
