Listbox DataValueField

Hi,

Is it possible to do some action on the value that will be the
DataValueField of a listbox?

I have a listbox with a list of item. But I would like to encode the value
ID that the client will see in the html.
There is no way to do that on the database, it has to be done on the .net
side.

For instance:

I have
SearchID.DataSo urce = oReader;
SearchID.DataVa lueField = "Value";
SearchID.DataTe xtField = "Text";
SearchID.DataBi nd ();

And I would like to have something like:

SearchID.DataSo urce = oReader;
SearchID.DataVa lueField = EncodeID("Value ");
SearchID.DataTe xtField = "Text";
SearchID.DataBi nd();

EncodeID being whatever you want, just a simple function.

I dont want to loop through anything and would like if possible to keep the
databinding stuff.

Another option would be to response.write the listitem, but again, I want to
keep the four lines there and apply a function to it.

Thanks for your help.

Gerald

For some reason I cannot get the OnSelectedIndexChanged event to fire for a listbox I have on a page. I'm able to populate the listbox with data from a stored procedure, but cannot trigger the event. I do have EnableViewState = True for the listbox. I'm imagining (wanting) to populate the listbox named: lstNames by using the DataValueField from lstDepartments. It's quite apparent though that the event is not triggering as I can misname...

A ListBox lists all the files & directories existing in a directory on the server. If an item in the ListBox happens to be a directory, then the name of the directory is appended with the text . Similarly, if an item in the ListBox happens to be a file, then the name of the file is appended with the text . Assuming that the ListBox lists 2 directories & 3 files, this is how the ListBox would look like: MyDir1 MyDir2 File1.aspx
