DropDownList

Hi
I looked everywhere to solve my problem but with no success. On page there
is a dropdownlist control which is binded to a database. When I select one
of the list item and press a button I would like to get the SelectedItem
property, but it is always set to Nothing. What should i do? On page load I
use Page.IsPostBack =false to load the dropdownlist only once.
Thanks!

Did you set the 'EnableViewStat e' to true for the dropdownlist ?

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this question belongs to FAQ, but I couldn't find a concrete answer. I created a Datagrid control using ItemTemplate, but it's NOT a in-place editing datagrid. One of the columns of the data grid contains a DropDownlist. I managed to create this datagrid control as follows.

The FindControl method will only find a certain control by id, but I want to find all controls of a certain type (DropDownList in this case). Is there an easier way than to get a control count of the page, loop through all controls on that page, examine their type and, if they're a...
