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.
