databound dropdown list problem...

[fowlerlfc]

I've bound SQL data to a dropdownlist successfully, but no matter what choice is made in the dropdownlist, the first item is the only one that will display in ddl.selecteditem.text...

For example the first item is #wrtcart001. The secound item is #wrtcart002. If I choose the second item, ddl.selecteditem.test still holds #wrtcart001.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Could you post the code you're using to bind this dropdownlist?

Also, verify that the dropdownlist is being populated outside of a postback. That should look something like...

    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        If Not IsPostBack Then
            ' Bind DropDownList
        End If

    End Sub

Regards,
Mike
