I have a output parameter from my SP in SQL Server called Birthday witch
should be set to a drop down list.
I do it like:
DropDownListMonths.SelectedIndex = (int)sqlCom.Parameters["@BirthMonth"].Value;

But it gives error. :(
How should I set it to drop down list selectedIndex value????

Tnx,
Hovik.

If you want so preselect an item in a drop down list and don't know its 
value, you can use FindByText like this:

         myList.Items.FindByText(MyText).Selected = True

This will search the drop down with an entry of MyText and select it.
