DropDownList value

Hi,

I had a dropDownList, and I want that when My page load, the DropDownList automatickly choose the value "TI" and block choosing other values

I had to do:

// To choose TI: DropDownList.SelectedValue="TI"

// To block choosing ??

Re: DropDownList value

block other items in

protected void DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
  if(DropDownList.SelectedValue !="TI")
     DropDownList.SelectIndex=-1;
}

Re: DropDownList value

i didnt understand exactly what do you mean

other values should be saved in your database;

you need to retreive them from your databse by binding it to sql;

then you should write in the .cs part of your project the following

string name = DropDownList1.SelectedValue;

and then you can insert into a table the value name from the drop downlist

if you want to block chosing other value by user.... why keep dropdown.... keep it as simple label

you can still block selection of dropdown by making it disabled

DropDownList1.Enabled = false;

hope this helps...

Re: DropDownList value

then you can simply make a lable with one value

or if you insist on a drop downlist, just give it a single value

or in the .cs part of your project just assign the value of the dropdownlist

dropdownlist.selectedvalue="VALUE";
