DropDownList

[shapper]

Hello,

I created a DropDownList as follows:

With ddlRole.Items
.Add("---")
.Add(New ListItem("Administrator", "Admin")
.Add(New ListItem("Collaborator", "Coll")
.Add(New ListItem("User", "Us")
End With

I need to defined the current Selected item as the one which value is
equal to the value of variable ROLE.

For example, if ROLE = "Admin" then I want the visible item in the
DropDownList to be:

.Add(New ListItem("Administrator", "Admin")

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Miguel

Hi,
Try this code:
ddlRole.selectedindex = ddlRole.FindString("Admin")
Hope this helps you out.

I get the error:
"FindString" is not a member of DropDownList

ddlRole.selectedindex = ddlRole.FindItemIndexByValue(ROLE)
