Robert,

Here is code that I believe will work:

Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To Country.Items.Count - 1
    If Country.Items(i).Value =_CustomerDetails.CountryID.ToString Then
        Country.SelectedItemIndex = i
    End If
Next

Hope this helps,

--Gene

Hi

why isn't this setting the dropdown item to checked.

Country As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList
Value as ID column

Code:

                Dim i As Integer
                For i = 0 To Country.Items.Count - 1
                    If Country.Items(i).Value 
_CustomerDetails.CountryID.ToString Then
                        Country.Items(i).Selected = True
                    End If
                Next
