Put code in a page_unload event:

Framleidandi.SelectedValue = "<value>"

CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Framleidandi' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)


Line 139: SqlDa.Fill(ds, "Framleidandi");
Line 140: return ds.Tables["Framleidandi"];
Line 141: Framleidandi.SelectedValue = 28;

I am sorry posted wrong error code

Compiler Error Message: CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Framleidandi' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Line 119:void Page_Unload(object sender, EventArgs e)
Line 120:{
Line 121:Framleidandi.SelectedValue = 28;
Line 122:}
Line 123:

Best regards Hlynur

why in Page_Unload (your SelectedValue will not appear)
(you should change it somewhere like Page_Load or everywhere you need
except Page_Unload)
everything declared in Page_Unload will not appear in the page
the error tells you there is not a dropdown list
are you sure you have a line like below in your codebehind in your page class?

Why not just set the SelectedValue property to the Value that you want it to be. If the value you set it to is not in the, the first value will be selected. You should do this in the Page_load, no Page_unload
