Hello (again),
I have gotten the dropdown list functionality to work through a few tricks
(probably not the most efficient, but it works) but I am not sure how to set
the default selected value. I have tried setting various values to represent
the default value with little success. Essentially I am looking to have the
first item in the list be the default selected item. I noticed in the
properties for a dtat grid you could set a default selected index
(DataGrid.SelectedIndex =). Is there a similiar property for the Dropdown
list that I am just not seeing?
DropDownList.SelectedIndex = 0 does not seem to work.
Regards,
Kris

What does not work about setting the list's selectedindex property?

Well, it seems although I set the property as follows:
DropDownList.SelectedIndex = 0
the selected value is not passed. If I try to get the value after setting
this I no return (although I do see the associsted text in the DDList).
However, if I select a different value and then select the initial value it
does retuen the index.

Just being sure. You mention checking the value. The SelectedValue is
quite different than the SelectedIndex. Setting the SelectedIndex to 0
will select the first item in the dropdown list. It will have both a
Value and Text property as well.

Following what you have said, setting the code as follows should produce the
correct results.
...Omitted Connection, data adapter and Dataset info...
DropDownList.DataBind()
DropDownList.SelectedIndex = 0
In this instance the first item in the list should be selected by default
without any user interaction.
Is that a correct assumption?
