dropdownlist

[William Gower]

I have a dropdownlist called "ddlCustomers", the DataValueField is
"CustomerID, the DataTextField is "CustomerName".

In my Page_Load I call

DDLCustomers.DataSource = objDR
DDLCustomers.DataBind()

Now when I load in a User, I want to set the User's company to the proper
one in his record. How do I tell it to set the ddl to the user's customer
name?

 

[Alvin Bruney [MVP]]

ddl.items.selectedvalue = "customer to be shown"

that is not right. I tried that.

ddl.items.selectedvalue = "customer to be shown"
