Selecting the nth item added to a dropdown box

[sck10]

Hello,

I am using the following and am trying to figure out how to select the nth
item of a list in a DropDownList.
//Insert and Add items to the DropDownList
ddlPayStatus.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Non Selected", "Non
Selected"));

This selects the value "Non Selected"
ddlPayStatus.Items.FindByValue("Non Selected").Selected = true;

Select the nth item
ddlPayStatus.Items.IndexOf(0).Selected = true;

Thanks, sck10

Hi,

You can use the SelectedIndex property to change the selected item in
DropDownList:

dropDownList1.SelectedIndex = 0;

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.
