asp:dropdownlistbox code behind to select entry

[David A. Beck]

I have an aspx page with several asp:dropdownlistboxes on it. When I load
data, I need to set the selected entry in the ddlb. I have a value, but have
not been successful in setting the text portion of the control.
(ddlbTest.SelectedItem.Text = "Booga") Do I need to iterate through the ddlb
to find the index of the value I want and then set the SelectedIndex?

Never Mind - fat fingures.

Hi David,

You may try:

ddlbTest.SelectedValue = "Booga"

Hope this help,
