setting SelectedIndex in DropDownList

[Maziar Aflatoun]

Hi everyone,

I have the following code
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Administator" Visible="True"
ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="IsAdministator" Runat="server" text='<%#
FormatIsAdministator(DataBinder.Eval(Container.Dat aItem, "IsAdministator"))
%>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="NewIsAdministator" Runat="server"
CssClass="textbox1">
<asp:ListItem Value="0" Text="No"/>
<asp:ListItem Value="1" Text="Yes"/>
</asp:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

Does anyone know how in EditItemTemplate I can preselect the ListItem in my
DropDownList based on what's currently in the database (0 or 1 for
NewIsAdministator dropdownlist)?

I tried: SelectedIndex = '<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"IsAdministator") %>' but that failed

Thank you
Maz.
