How do I reference the selected value in a drop down list? &nbsp;I need to use that value to populate a textbox:<br />
<br />
Here is my sql string that I am building:<br />
<br />
strSQL = &quot;SELECT T1T1DS &quot;&nbsp;+<br />
&quot;FROM XGGNDCT.ZHT1DF00 &quot;&nbsp;+ <br />
&quot;WHERE T1T1CD = '&quot; + ddlInsuredOperations value + &quot;'&quot;;<br />
<br />
After I run the sql, I would reference the field:<br />
<br />
txtInsuredOperations.Text = dr4[&quot;T1T1DS&quot;].ToString();<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance...<br />

Reference the selected value in a drop down list in c# ASP.NET

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 successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
