Text value of Dropdown.

[tshad]

How do you get the selected text of a dropdown box? Selectedvalue will get
you the value and selectedindex will get you the position, but how do you
get the text (it isn't selectedText).

Thanks,

Tom

Is DropDownList.SelectedItem.Value what you're looking for?

Oh! Indeed, DropDownList.SelectedItem.Text is what you're after. :S

That was it.

I can never seem to remember that when I need it.

I never understood why you have a SelectedValue, but not a SelectedText.

Thanks,
