Mark A selected item on first post. please help

[Stanley J Mroczek]

I have tried this with no luck. What i want is to show the selected item on
the first post. the selected item is NY but the first in the list shows as
selected.
If Page.IsPostBack = False Then

Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = New
SqlConnection(C onfigurationSet tings.AppSettin gs("ConnectionS tring"))
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("Get _States",
myConnection)

Dim Statetypes As SqlDataReader

myConnection.Op en()

Statetypes = myCommand.Execu teReader

StateCode.DataS ource = Statetypes
StateCode.DataT extField = "State"
StateCode.DataV alueField = "StateId"
' Databind and display the list of favorite product items
StateCode.DataB ind()
myConnection.Cl ose()

Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To StateCode.Items .Count - 1
Dim Statechk As String = StateCode.Items (i).Value
Dim chk = StateCode.DataV alueField
If Statechk = customerDetails .State Then
StateCode.Selec tedItem.Selecte d = True
End If
Next
end if

Hi,

Your problem is in this code:

For i = 0 To StateCode.Items .Count - 1
Dim Statechk As String = StateCode.Items (i).Value
Dim chk = StateCode.DataV alueField
If Statechk = customerDetails .State Then
StateCode.Selec tedItem.Selecte d = True
End If
Next
The line below doesn't do anything new. It is constantly setting the
selected item to be selected again.

StateCode.Selec tedItem.Selecte d = True

You would want to do something like this in its place:

StateCode.Items (i).Selected = True

Good luck! Ken.

Hi,

I forgot to mention after you set the Selected property to True then put in
an Exit For to exit you from the loop:

If Statechk = customerDetails .State Then
StateCode.Items (i).Selected = True
Exit For 'Get out before it finds another one! Just kidding....
End If

Good luck! Ken.
