Hi all,

i have a dropdownlist, and i bind it with two digit numbers. I want if the user enters 2 in the textbox, it should be stored as 02.

It would be great if somebody could help me!

Hi if I understand your prlm rightly than do like this :

u can use this code for adding data in to DDL

dropdownlist.item.add(item) 

u can pass here the Text of your Textbox. so it will add your value and u can also attached 0 before ur txt.text with + operator with the if condition that if value is less than 10.

u can also use this [dropdownlist].Items.Insert(index, new ListItem("",""));

And u can Get more Idea about this on this Link as Below:

Other u can so like this for Databainding

ddlAuthor.DataTextField = "FullName";
ddlAuthor.DataValueField = "AuthorID";
ddlAuthor.DataSource = authorDB.GetAuthors();
ddlAuthor.DataBind();
ddlAuthor.Items.Insert(0, "-- Select Author --");

Here u can pass like : Textbob1.text

 Hi,

     Its not clear me , where you want to store only in dropdown or in database also. As per my understanding I created a sample applcaition which accepts only 2 digit numbers after padded a 0 before the text.

protected void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        string sItemAdded = "0" + TextBox1.Text.Trim();

        DropDownList1.Items.Insert(DropDownList1.Items.Count, sItemAdded.Substring(sItemAdded.Length - 2, 2));

    }
