drop down list problems
Hello,
is there a way to get this webcontrol to behave more like its winform cousin? In a winform dropdown, you can set the SelectedIndex to -1 and no items will be showing in the drop list. This doesn't seem to work with the web control. This bring up the issue of the first item in the list being displayed after adding items to the drop down. However, you cause the SelectedIndexChanged event you'd have to select a different item and then come back to the first item to get the selectedindexchanged to fire for the first item in the list. Is there a way around these couple of issues? I'm very new to ASP.NET stuff. Thanks S SAL |

Re: drop down list problems
Would adding a blank item at the top solve your problem?

Re: drop down list problems
I'd suggest to also set your 'value' to -1, especially if queries using the
items are based on a numeric value -- David Wier MVP/ASPInsider http://aspnet101.com http://aspexpress.com "SAL" <SAL_@NoNo.com> wrote in message news:... > Hmmm, that's awfully simple Karl.
