Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

[SonJ]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I can resolve the following error.

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: 1

The error occurs when I try to set the selected value of a dropdown list to the value saved in the database.

ie. selDay.selectedValue=objDR("Date&quot

I have tried to parse the value before I assign it to the dropdown list, but this does not seem to help.

If anyone has any insights on how this can be resolved, your input would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
SonD

Does this sound like what you are trying to do?

myList.SelectedIndex = myList.Items.IndexOf(myList.Items.FindByValue(myValue))

If your ddl contains just dates without time but the data reader pulls datetime field, then it's possible that the matching value won't be found in the dropdown. Try this:

ie.selDay.selectedValue = (Convert.ToDateTime(objDR("Date")).ToShortDateString();
