Limit Nbr of items in asp:DropDownLis t?

How can I limit the number of items that show up in a dropdown list at one
time? I have a list of states, and because my dropdown list is near the
bottom of the page, it becomes a drop-up list. It would look a lot more
professional if it only had 20 items at a time, and dropped down normally. I
can't find a way to do this. Can anyone help?

Here's my dropdown list code:
<asp:DropDownLi st ID="ddState" Runat="Server"> </asp:DropDownLis t>

and then it's data-bound in the code-behind.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++
by: Oralloy | last post by:
Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
