Hi,
I have a drop down list on a page. The drop down list is bound to a DataView and the DataValueField is an integer field. I.e:
ddlSite.DataSource = dvSite;
ddlSite.DataTextField = "SITE_DESC";
ddlSite.DataValueField = "SITE_NO"; // Integer field
ddlSite.DataBind();
Now I want to select an item of this drop down list by a certain integer value (e.g. 1). How do I select the drop down list by an integer value?
For example, if the DataValueField were a character type I would select as following (this one works):
string MyString = "123";
dlSite.Items.FindByValue( MyString ).Selected = true;
But when the DataValueField is Integer, I can't seem to find the correct syntax.
UPDATE:. Found solution. The same as with a character type string.
