Trouble with 'FindByValue' ..
Jan 8 2008 5:40 PM
Hi my first post and sorry its a question ...
I have a databound DropDownList which i need c# code to check the selected value is there or not.
ASP Code:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DatabaseConnectionString1 %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [CountryId], [CountryName] FROM [Countries] WHERE ([Active] = @Active2) ORDER BY [CountryName]">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="true" Name="Active2" Type="Boolean" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:DropDownList ID="countriesDropDownList" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
DataTextField="CountryName" DataValueField="CountryId" AppendDataBoundItems="True" OnDataBinding="countriesDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged">
<asp:ListItem Value="-1" Selected="True">Please Select</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
C# Code:
string BillCountryId = reader["BillCountryId"].ToString();
TextBox1.Text = BillCountryId;
ListItem li = countriesDropDownList.Items.FindByValue(BillCountryId);
if (li != null)
countriesDropDownList.SelectedValue = BillCountryId;
Problem is, its not finding any values which have been DataBound, only the (-1) of the 'Please Select' value. The C# Code is in the Page_Load void ..
Please help! :)
