easy one I think! Property not recognised in HTML view

Hi there. I am a little confused. SelectedValue is a property of ListBox and
dropdownlist. However it isnt in the list of properties in intellisence (html
view i am not talking about code behind where it does list it). So when I
create my asp:ListBox and try to set SelectedValue=( to a databind value) it
has a squiggly line under it and says 'not recognised property of list box'.
The thing is, it works, so i have ignored it, but I would quite like to know
why this happens? Is it something I've missed?

Thanks.

<asp:ListItem Value="test2" Selected="True" >test2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="test3">t est3</asp:ListItem>
</asp:ListBox>

hi thanks calvin. I know that you can set an individual list item to be
selected, my question was more that if it works anyway, why does it put the
squiggly line under it in html view (I am setting the selectedvalue to a
datalist databind item), so in the definition of the dropdownlist i have

SelectedValue=' <%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,
"genderid").ToS tring() %>'

It works, but always underlines 'SelectedValue' . SelectedValue IS a property
of Dropdownlist, so why doesnt it like it?

Thanks and happy new year.

I have a folder containing many subfolders (and subfolders and....) all containing various .cs files. Is there any "easy" way to get them all added to the solution.

Its easy to select multiple files out of a single folder, but not recursively into subfolders. Any ideas? -- Adam Clauss

Okay, I've seen all the examples of using comboboxes on webforms when using simple values.

Which tools would you use? I want the interface design to be as easy and fast as possible, all ideology aside. I'm considering either IronPython+Visual Studio or Python+Qt -- but I'm open for other suggestions. Visual Studio seems to offer the easiest solution, but is IronPython stable enough? How easy is the IronPython/Visual Studi integration? What about IronPython Studio?
