Hi,
Please add these lines:
ListBox1.DataTextField = "text"
ListBox1.DataValueField = "value"
As shown in this sample:
Public Sub GetStatusCodeList()
Dim mobjListBoxData As New ListItemCollection
With mobjListBoxData
.Add(New ListItem("Select one...", "None"))
.Add(New ListItem("D - Deleted via Extract", "D"))
.Add(New ListItem("E - Deleted via WEB", "E"))
.Add(New ListItem("H - Hold", "E"))
.Add(New ListItem("R - SoftAuto", "R"))
End With
ListBox1.DataSource = mobjListBoxData
ListBox1.DataTextField = "text"
ListBox1.DataValueField = "value"
ListBox1.DataBind()
End Sub
This made it work on my machine.
Thank you, Mike

> I have dropdownlist boxes that are bound to a function that loads them. I
set the text and value properties with different values as I want the
description and the return value to be different. When I select an item the
text and value properties are the same, why? example:
'************************************************* **************************
***********
'Load the Status Code Drop Down box
'************************************************* **************************
***********
Private Sub LoadStatusCodeDropDown()
drpStatusSel.DataSource = GetStatusCodeList()
drpStatusSel.DataBind()
End Sub
'************************************************* **************************
**************
'This function builds the items available for the Status dropdown boxe.
'************************************************* **************************
**************
Public Shared Function GetStatusCodeList() As ListItemCollection
Dim mobjListBoxData As New ListItemCollection()
With mobjListBoxData
.Add(New ListItem("Select one...", "None"))
.Add(New ListItem("D - Deleted via Extract", "D"))
.Add(New ListItem("E - Deleted via WEB", "E"))
.Add(New ListItem("H - Hold", "E"))
.Add(New ListItem("R - SoftAuto", "R"))
End With
Return mobjListBoxData
End Function
This code from the first item (0):
myString = drpStatusSel.SelectedItem.Value
is returning: "Select one..." instead of the word "None"
Thanks
