Find item in dropdownlist
Hi Experts,
I am finding a value in dropdownlist and making it selected.
if (ddlCity.Items.FindByText(
When the item present in dropdownlist is "Florida", and I am getting value as "Florida" this works fine, but when I receive "florida" then it won't find the text.
Can I ignore the case sensitivity.

try this
if (ddlCity.Items.FindByText(Authenticate(StrConv(Request.QueryString["City"], VbStrConv.ProperCase).ToString())) != null)
ddlCity.Items.FindByText(Authenticate(StrConv(Request.QueryString["City"], VbStrConv.ProperCase).ToString())).Selected = true;

Getting error for both StrConv and VbStrConv.
Is it a function written somewhere. As far as I know it isn't in framework.

You will probably find that is what is done, just in the background. (Magic doesn't exist - it is all an illusion).
Just out of interest does the selected comment actually work if the list item is florida instead of Florida ?
