FindByText not working

[tshad]

I have a dropdown that gives me an error when I do a FindByText, such as:

Dim temp as ListItem = JobTitles.Items.FindByText("BarTender")
temp.Selected = True

or

JobTitles.Items.FindByValue("BarTender").Selected = True

I get the error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I know the value is there.

Why doesn't this work?

Thanks,

Tom

Figured it out:

Dim Temp as ListItem = JobTitles.Items.FindByText("BARTENDER")
if not IsNothing(Temp) then
Temp.Selected = True
end if

But is there a way to tell it to ignore case?

Thanks,

Tom
