Hi,

I am having some problems with dropdownlist in .NET 2.0. When I drag a
drop down list on to the webform and if I try to set the SelectedValue
property for the dropdown list, I am getting errors. The intellisense is not
showing SelectedValue property for the dropdown list. I am not knowing why it
is not showing the SelectedValue property for the dropdown lists. With this
problem, I am not able to set the SelectedValue property for the dropdown
lists inside the GridView in EditItemTemplate. If I am not able to set the
SelectedValue property for dropdownlist in design view, Which event can let
me set the SelectedValue property?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Sridhar.
 
Hi Sridhar,

It works for me.

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Category Names">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblCity" runat="server"
Text='<%#Eval("CategoryName") %>'></asp:Label>

</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="true" AutoPostBack="True" SelectedValue='<%#
Bind("CategoryName") %>' DataMember="DefaultView"
DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1" DataTextField="CategoryName">

<asp:ListItem>Select an Item</asp:ListItem>

</asp:DropDownList>

</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
 
Hi,

Thanks for the response. When I put SelectedValue property in the
<asp:DropDownList> tag it is giving error "Server tag is not well formed". I
am not able to see SelectedValue property in the properties list for
DropDownList. I am not sure what the problem is.

Please let me know if you have any idea.

Thanks,
Sridhar.
