Issue on asp.net dropdownlist.

[nirmalsingh]

hai all.

i have loaded a dropdownlist box using code.

[HTML] cboUserGroup.DataSource = loadGroupCombos("").Tables[0];
cboUserGroup.DataTextField = "name";
cboUserGroup.DataValueField = "id";
cboUserGroup.DataBind();[/HTML]
now the dropdownlist box have the values such as

name---------------id
--------------------------
A ------------------- 1
B-------------------- 2
C-------------------- 3
D-------------------- 4
for eg selected text is 'A'
now i want to change the selected text as 'B'
i have tried a many ways such as
[HTML]cboUserGroup.Items.FindByValue("B").Selected = true;
cboUserGroup.SelectedItem.Selected = "B";
cboUserGroup.DataValueField.IndexOf("B");
cboUserGroup.Items.FindByValue("B").Selected = true;
cboUserGroup.DataBind();[/HTML]

but it is not working,
but
[HTML]cboUserGroup.SelectedIndex = 1;[/HTML] is working.

and another major issue is when i used this the above method, selected index is
changing but cboUserGroup_SelectedIndexChanged is not firing.

Note: i used autopostback=true for dropdown list.

plz help me to solve this.
thanx in advance.

Well, what you could do is whenever you use the codebehind to change the selected index, you could follow that with a call to

cboUserGroup_SelectedIndexChanged(cboUserGroup, null);

thank you, now the event is firing.
but the first problem is not solved, that is i cannot select desired option in combo box.
