I was wondering if someone knows how to get around the following problem.
I have a dropdownlist (ddl) on a web form. The dropdownlist is bound to a dataset (dataview) of two columns (but I think the problem would be the same with one column too). Property .DataValueField of the ddl is set to one of the column names, MYFLD. When web form is initialized, a default value is set to the property .SelectedValue.
The problem is that if the default value set in the .Selectedvalue property is not in the dataset, web form bombs with error:
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Is there a way to make dropdownlist still accept the value even if it is not in the dataset to which dropdownlist is bound?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
