setting the selectedIndex property

[rotsey]

Hi,

How do you set the selectedIndex property of a dropdownlist if you know the "text" property.

Something like this

drp.selectedIndex.Indexof(mystring)

i have seen it somewhere?????

You can use the DropDownList1.Items.FindByText method to return a listitem and just set the selectedIndex accordingly

ddl.SelectedIndex = ddl.Items.IndexOf(ddl.Items.FindByText("TEXTVALUE"))

drp.items.findbytext("Test").selected = true
