Selected item in Dropdown bug

Hi,

I'm using an xml file as the datasource for my
dropdownlist. All is well when I run the form
and the items are in the list. I pick an item
then submit the form. The called form then uses
the value that was picked via a property in the source
form. I have 'Return MyDropDownList.SelectedItem.Text'.

The bug is that the value is always the value of
the first index in the list. Yet when I don't use
a datasource and code in some list items the picked
item is correctly in SelectedItem.Text
Any suggestions to fix the problem when using a
datasource? I also try SelectedValue property but it
doesn't work too.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Eric,

If you post a Form and Xml file (zipped - no obj or bin folders) which
shows the error, we can have a play with it.

Regards,
Fergus

I finally worked it out. I provided a dif
value in the source page.

Thanks for offering the help anyways!
