Select value for Data Binding to an ArrayList

[Steven K]

Hello,

I am creating the following ArrayList to bind to a DropDownList
(ddlYearBox).

ctrFor = 0
Dim arrFor as ArrayList = new ArrayList()
For ctrFor = 2002 To 2020
arrFor.Add (ctrFor)
Next

ddlYearBox.DataSource = arrFor
ddlYearBox.DataBind


The text and values are equal to ctrFor, but can you add the "Selected"
value using an ArrayList?

Not sure I understand you but I think you mean setting the selected property of the DropDownList item?

To set the selected property you can use
ddlYearBox.Items.FindByValue("2002").Selected = True 'You should check the FindByValue method returns a ListIte
