New to VB.Net/ASP1.1

[Jeff Thur]

I need help with the following:
I am doing a lookup screen for users.
I am accessing a SQL Query.
The User can enter either a State or the first 6
characters of the first name and the first name initial.
Passing a parameter of the State code is not a problem,
as I can do it with a Drop Down box and use
SelectedValue. However I need the user to be able to
enter the first 6 characters of the last name and the
first intial of the first name into a Text type Box. I
tried to use a Text Box Control for this but as I found
out, the Text Box doesn't Support the SelectedValue so
this won't cut it for me. Any ideas as to how I would go
about this would be welcomed. Thank You for any help that
you can provide.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do here. The TextBox has a Text property that contains
the value entered. It doesn't function like a DropDownList.

You may also want to re-post to microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.webcontrols if you don't
get an answer here.
