Try this:

DropDownState.DataSource = objDataSet.Tables("State")
DropDownState.DataBind()
DropDownState.Items.FindByValue("FL").Selected = true

Hi all,

I have a Dropdownlist control on my asp.net page that I bind to a SQL table
named tabState.  I then update my customer table with the state code when I
click my submit button.  This all works great.  My problem is when I display
the details of an existing customer.  I would like to read the state code
value from my customer table and then display my dropdownlist control with
this state item selected.  I cannot seem to figure this out.  Any help would
be appreciated.
VB.Net preferred.

Thanks,
Bob
