Problem with DropDownList

i created a dropdownlist and
bound it to a table the following way.
MyList.DataSource = DS.Tables[0];
MyList.DataValueField = "testid";

MyList.DataTextField = "text";

the problem is that , when an item get selected

all my methods to retriev the id of the

selecteditem fails.

How show i get the value when a submit

button is pressed on the page?

Many thanks in advance

JB

Perhaps, you have not set the view state. Take a look at
Control.EnableViewState property in doc.
