Suppose I have a listbox with 4 values: VISA, MC, DISCOVER, AMEX.
I read a value out of a database as follows:
myReader("CreditCardType")
Now I want to set the listbox selection to the value in the database.
Do I have to loop through every line of the listbox until I find one
that matches?
Or is there an easier way?
I tried
CreditCardType.SelectedItem.Value = myReader("CreditCardType")
but that gives me an error message
Thanks,
Marvin
 
CreditCardType.Items.FindByValue(myReader("CreditCardType")).Selected =
true;
