Dropdownlist.SelectedValue ISSUE

[Sudhir]

Hi,
I have a dropdownlist, which I am creating during runtime. I am then
populating it dynamically. Depeding on a condition, I am changing the
selected value. After this I am adding the dropdown to a panel. But
the dropdown is not showing the new selected value when the page
loads. Does anyone had similar problems? Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Sudhir

Sudhir, try doing something like:

Dim lb as ListItem = myDDL.Items.FindByValue(value to look for)
If Not lb Is Nothing Then lb.Selected = True


See if that doesn't do the trick...
