Hi, I am wondering how to insert the value selected in a drop down list into a SQL server table. I have the sql data source working but I can't figure how to populate my data control with the value from the drop down. Thanks.

Hi there,

It all depends on your scenario. One option is to use the control as a parameter for an SqlDataSource or a LinqDataSource control.

Alternatively, you can do this with direct ADO.NET code. For an introduction to ADO.NET, check out Professional ASP.NET 3.5 by Wrox, or these quick start tutorials: http://quickstarts.asp.net/Quickstar...wcontents.aspx

Cheers,

Imar
