aspx thread: Working with the Items collection of a Dropdownlist control..
Message #1 by "Oliver, Wells" <WOliver@l...> on Wed, 28 Aug 2002 13:50:17 -0700

Trying this:
CType (E.Item.FindControl ("results"),
Dropdownlist).Items(OptionItem).Selected = True
Where "OptionItem" is a string, either "Pass", "Fail", or "Information".
Anyway, that doesn't compile like it is, throws the error
"System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format."
How can I set the selected property in the Items collection of the item with
the text value of "Pass" (for example)?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Items is a collection and it expects an Integer.
Use FindByText instead like this:
myDropDown.FindByText("MyText").Selected = True

Imar--
It doesn't seem as though FindByText is a method of the DropDownList
control.
Compiler error: BC30456: 'FindByText' is not a member of
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList'.
Also, there's no mention of it on th MSDN page for DropDownList.
Any ideas?

I am sorry, my bad.
You can find the FindByText method on the Items collection:
myDropDown.Items.FindByText("MyText").Selected = True
Regards, and sorry for not paying enough attention.
