Message: [QUOTE="PlatinumBay, post: 2917886"] mercvntracy, Yes, the DropDownList supports setting both the text and the value, as in the following example: <asp:DropDownList id="stateList2" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem Selected="True" Value="" Text=""/> <asp:ListItem Value="Confusion" Text="Confusion"/> <asp:ListItem Value="Denial" Text="Denial"/> </asp:DropDownList> To set this programatically, the Add method takes an overload allowing you to pass in a ListItem object. Public Sub New(ByVal [text] As String, ByVal value As String) Try the following: cmdManufacturer.Items.Add(New ListItem(manufactureData.MANUFACTURE_NAME, <value>)) Hope this helps, Steve [/QUOTE]
