How do I create a Drop Down List with Hyperlinks as List Items in ASP.NET

Hey Guys,

I am trying to create a DropDownList with Hyperlinks as ListItem. I am
creating a web page with ASP.NET and VB

Any suggestions or Solutions to my problem?

Well you can't because you can't put hyperlinks in an HTML drop down box (a
<select> tag). However you can navigate to a URL, based on the selection a
user makes in a DDL by having URL's for the value fields, setting
AutoPostBack=tr ue in the DDL properties and then put something like

Response.Redire ct(((DropDownLi st)sender).Sele ctedValue);

in the OnSelectedIndex Changed event handler.

Well, you can't using the built in one.

You can write your own. Have it pop open a DIV that you position, that has
the links in it, etc. This is a ton of work, but it can be done.

Hi There! I have a Server-side Drop-down box in ASP.NET (VB) page. What do I do to widen the Drop down box's Pull-Down list's width? I'm not talking about the Drop-down box's width but the box that appear when user clicks the drop-down arrow button. Because items in the Drop down list are a little long, user can't see the full thing when they pull down the items from the drop down list.

Hi there, I'm sure i'm missing something really simple here, all i want to do is get the value of the selected item in a list box. Even after much fiddling about last night I still could not get my code to work. Below is some code which highlights my problem. All I want to do is set the lable control's text property to the value of the selected drop down list value - in this example i've shown the three ways i've tried. Please help!

Hi, I can't figure out how to create a drop-down list box. The help file says it exists. The icon in the help file matches the combobox in the toolbox. I tried using a combox box, both with and without using the wizard, and it will not "drop-down" - the list is horizantal. I don't see a variable to set to change that. I tried the listbox in the toolbox, and it is also horizantal (tried that first). The behavior I want is to list,...
