Hi'

You have to write in the select indexchanged event like below
drpList.Items.FindByValue("1").Selected = true

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
OK, this should be simple enough but I can't seem to solve it. I need to programmatically set the selected item of a dropdownlist control if I know the value. I understand I can use DropDownList1.Items.FindBy<wbr />Value(&quot;1&quot;)<wbr /> to return the ListItem itself. What I need to do is make sure that is the selected item. Can anyone help?

Selecting an item in a DropDownList

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
