Not sure what you are asking. If you have a dropdown list on a form then
reference it:

Me.ddlMyList.Se lectedValue

Jeff, I should make myself clearer. I have a webform with a fromview control
(FormView1) displaying a record. One of the controls inside the formview is a
dropdownlist and I'd like to use its value in VB. Me.ddlMyList.Se lectedValue
would work if the dropdown is on the webform outside the formview.
Thanks

I asked this question earlier, but unfortunately the two replies I got did not solve the problem. Here it is again, but now with the code: After an Update my FormView always loses its viewstate values. The field values in the FormView are always overwritten by the results of the Update method in the business layer. No matter what I do, the databind always takes place, even when I don't want it to. See the example below. This is a...

Hi, I try to use a droplist control to show a list value from Database table "A", and the droplist control is an item of a formview control, its data from Database table "B". My problem is how do I to DataBind the droplist control in Formview control EditItem mode? It means the droplist will show the default value from table B and replace the value after editing the formview by selecting a value from the droplist control.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
