problems with Update form with drop down list Submit button

[nuevaenvb]

Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could help me solve this problem,
I have created a form which is supposed to do a simple update,
these are my fields
ProductId.text
ItemName.Text
ItemPrice.Text
OrderUnitCost.Text
OrderUnitSize.Text
QuantityOnHand.Text
ReorderLevel.Text
ReStockCharge.text
category (for category i have a dropwonlist) and a text box to be able to add a new Category.
for my save button I have the following:
Protected Sub SaveProduct_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveProduct.Click

If ValidData() = True Then
Dim systemmgr As New eRaceSystem.eRace
Dim Categorylistinfo As DataSet
Dim theCategory As String

If Category.Text.Trim.Length > 0 Then
theCategory = Category.Text.Trim
Else
theCategory = CategoryList.SelectedValue
End If
Try
systemmgr.UpdateProduct(ProductId.Text, ItemName.Text, ItemPrice.Text, OrderUnitCost.Text, _
OrderUnitSize.Text, QuantityOnHand.Text, ReorderLevel.Text, ReStockCharge.Text, Category.selectedvalue)----this keeps telling that selected value isnot a member of systems.ui.webcontrols. textbox------
iknow if i only had my drop down list I could just have category.selectedvalue, but i dont know why i get this error----- I would really apreciate some help.
FormMessages.Text = "Product Updated."
Catch ex As Exception
FormMessages.Text = ex.Message
End Try
End If
End Sub

thanks

For starters, Please put your code in CODE tags so that we can spend less time decyphering the visual appearance of your code. :)

Is category a dropdown list or a text box?
Because i see you have a categoryList and a category.
It seems your categoryList is the dropdown and category is a text box.
a text box doest not have a selectedValue member

cheers

Hi
Sorry I should have done that first, and yes category is a text box, but i also have a drop down which is category list.

Well,, I dont think you got my point from the previous post

 theCategory = Category 
Else
theCategory = CategoryList.SelectedValue
 

From your code(in the update statement)....Category.SelectedValue is an invalid syntax. Intellisense should tell you that.
So iin your update statement change it to Category.Text

catepory.text doesnt work for some reason. I will try to figure out, thanks for looking into it.
