Dropdownlist Value Generated from Textbox Input

[net123]

I have a web form where a user enters some fields via textboxes and dropdownlists. Let's assume one of the textboxes is asking for NAME and there is a dropdownlist named IssuedTo where there are 2 options only: same person from the NAME textbox or some other generic place like MyCompany.

If I have the following for my ddl:

<asp:dropdownlist id=&quot;ddlToWho&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>
<asp:ListItem Value=&quot;Same&quot; Selected=&quot;True&quot;>Name</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value=&quot;Company&quot;>Company</asp:ListItem>
</asp:dropdownlist>
[/red]

How can I replace the first value in my DDL with a value from the NAME textbox? I am assuming I will have to do a postback and get that value, but don't know the syntax.

Thanks in advance.

Private Sub txtJobName_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtJobName.TextChanged

clear list items
add list items
End Sub

set autopostback to true for textbox

After populating the Drop Down List, add an item like this:

ddlToWho.Items.Insert(0, txtName.Text)'inserts at first position

If you wish to have the option available for the page on future visits, you will, of course, need to store the value in your database.
