Drop Down Lists?

[MFritts253]

When i select something from one of my drop downs lists,
and i output Response.Write(dropdownlist.selectedvalue);

it would return something like this

NYNY

instead i just want NY

Sincerely,
Michael

Use dropdownlist.selectedvalue.ToString()

Maybe I'm wrong but I always use:
Response.Write(dropdownlist.SelectedItem.Value);
to retrieve.

I use dropdownlist.SelectedValue == "NY" to set the DDL to something sometimes as an alternative to SelectedIndex (in a given scenario).

Value will work, too.
