Hi All,

Am facing a problem with listbox control in asp.net. If the listbox has
entries which are duplicate in text value, selection of an entry down the
list causes the selectedindex property to return the least index containing
the same text even though that is not selected.

To elaborate:

if my list box contains elements in following sequence
a
b
c
a
d

on selection of the 2nd "a" the selectedindex contains value 0 instead of 3.

Has anyone faced this problem earlier? Is there any setting I could be
missing?

Thanks in advance for any help offered. A quick reply would be really
appreciated as this is causing a stand still in development.

Regards
Samir

Hi Samir,
why don't you use values with these list items.
Check SelectedValue and SelectedItem properties.

Thanks Svetlin,

That option worked. I checked and found am not assigning any data in value
for the items. Assigning unique values there corrected the problem.

Thanks once again.
