Dropdownlist text

[tshad]

How do I get the selected text from a dropdownlist?

I know I can get the value using selectedValue and there is selectedIndex to
get the row, but how do I get the text that is displayed?

I tried ddl.text and that doesn't work.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Try this?

Response.Write(DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text)

That was it. I thought I tried that, but obviously not.

Thanks,
