'FindStringExact' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox'.

[Richard]

Dim index As Integer = lbSysteem.FindStringExact(strSysteem)

basicly i want to return the value but as the examples show on the MSDN
library, nothings wrong with the code?
if FindStringExact isnt a member of Listbox then from what is it?

thx in advance,

Richard

I found a way around it, by just looping throu the listbox control althrou
the FindStringExact would make it much easier and less code, my problem is
solved. It is only used in the "System.Windows.Forms" which isnt in my .NET
Framework or I ever heared of it. I am just going to find some more info
about it so I wont have the problem again in the future.

Thx for your help anyway.

FindStringExact is a member of System.Windows.Forms.ListBox, not of
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox.

Hi Richard,

In addition to loop through the DropDownList or ListBox WebControl's Items
collection to find a certain item via text, we can also make use of the
DropDownList/ListBox 's Items Collection, it's an instance of the
System.Web.UI.ListItemCollection class which has the following two methods:

#ListItemCollection.FindByText Method
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWebUIWebContro
lsListItemCollectionClassFindByTextTopic.asp?frame=true

#ListItemCollection.FindByValue Method
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWebUIWebContro
lsListItemCollectionClassFindByValueTopic.asp?frame=true

I believe they'll be helpful to you. Thank.

I did it throu an other way by looping throu al records, i am unclear if
this is the best way but it worked for me.

Dim intID As Integer
Dim iLoop as Integer
Dim dt as DataTable = ddlDataSet.Tables("tbl_Filiaal")
For iLoop = 0 to dt.Rows.Count - 1
If F_ID = dt.Rows(iLoop)("F_ID").ToString() then
intID = iLoop
exit for
End If
Next iLoop
lbFiliaal.SelectedIndex = intID

and sorry for my late answer.

thx for your help

Richard
