how to set the value in html select control

[Mohammed Shafiulla Khadri]

hi,

I have the following piece of html code in a page
<table width="90%" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>

<td width="26%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;day</td>

<td width="40%">month</td>

<td width="34%">year</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td align="left">

<select name="dobday" id="dobday" style="width:47" tabindex="9"
runat="server"></select>

</td>

<td align="center">

<select name="dobmonth" id="dobmonth" style="width:54" tabindex="10"
runat="server">

<option value="1">JAN</option>

<option value="2">FEB</option>

<option value="3">MAR</option>

<option value="4">APR</option>

<option value="5">MAY</option>

<option value="6">JUN</option>

<option value="7">JUL</option>

<option value="8">AUG</option>

<option value="9">SEP</option>

<option value="10">OCT</option>

<option value="11">NOV</option>

<option value="12">DEC</option>

</select>

</td>

<td align="left">

<input type="text" name="dobyear" id="dobyear" maxlength="4" value="19"
size="3" tabindex="11" runat="server"/>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

and i am trying to assign the value from the server side . The server side
code is as below which uses the system.globalization namespace and all other
relavant namespaces.

DateTime dt;

CultureInfo dtCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");

dt = DateTime.Parse(Convert.ToString(Session["DOB"]), dtCulture,
DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault);

dobday.Value = Convert.ToString(dt.Date);

dobmonth.Value = Convert.ToString(dt.Month);

dobyear.Value = Convert.ToString(dt.Year);

The dt.Date, dt.Month give the correct information but the value is not
assigned correctly in the html select boxes. Please let me know why the
value is not being set?

Regards,

shafi

Hello,

Try using dt.Day instead of dt.Date.

Otherwise, your code works just fine.
