Drop Down List Box Asp.net (VB)

I have a drop down list box that I populate with dat

I actually have two of them, one databound, one not. The problem is that I can't seem to get the system to recognize that I have actually selected something different than the default.

In the forms edit button I call the code like the following example

Dim MyUsr As UserRe
MyUsr = New UserRe
MyUsr.MyValue = DDLListValues.S electedValu
MyUsr.Updat

Yet no matter what I select when running the code, the item selected at form_load is always saved as the value

Anyone know what I am doing wrong

Thank

Hi, Art

There might be 2 reasons
1. You rebind the dropdownlist when the page is posting back. try only bind the dropdownlist in the first load
If not IsPostback() The
'Bind dropdownlist
End I
2. I don't see any property name with selectedValue. try dropdownlist.Se lectedItem.Valu e to get the selected value

BTW, post ASP.NET related problems in DotNet.Framewor k.aspnet

Worked like a charm, and thanks for the posting note. My bad

Hi There! I have a Server-side Drop-down box in ASP.NET (VB) page. What do I do to widen the Drop down box's Pull-Down list's width? I'm not talking about the Drop-down box's width but the box that appear when user clicks the drop-down arrow button. Because items in the Drop down list are a little long, user can't see the full thing when they pull down the items from the drop down list.

Hi there, I'm sure i'm missing something really simple here, all i want to do is get the value of the selected item in a list box. Even after much fiddling about last night I still could not get my code to work. Below is some code which highlights my problem. All I want to do is set the lable control's text property to the value of the selected drop down list value - in this example i've shown the three ways i've tried. Please help!

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.
