Hello
I have a dropdownlist populated with data from database (use sqldatasource). When opening the page, the first item in chosen. How can i chose a specific value to be displayed when opening the page? I tried to define it in "on page_load", but without success.
Thanks.

Take a look here: Accessing checkboxlist from code-behind as it discusses the same topic.

Cheers,

Imar
