I suspect, rather, that Imstac is talking about a DropDownList (DDL), as opposed to a ComboBox (common Web v/s Windows confusion). Imstac, it is entirely your responsibility as the asker to specify the platform and type of application you are working on and also to use correct terminology when formulating a question. Finally, it is incumbent upon you to do some deduction when someone answers your question. If I had been in your place, I would've looked up the "DropDownStyle" property that Glenn mentioned and immediately found that it belongs to the ComboBox control (Windows apps). I then would've deduced that Glenn has mistaken my meaning. That would have been a more helpful response than "I don't see any such property".
To answer your question, This kind of functionality is usually implemented by having a first entry in the DDL such as "-- Select One --". This entry usually has a value such as "0", which you can check for when the page submits (or using a Validator control to prevent page submission, altogether). This way, you have a workaround for the default selection problem as well as being able to allow no selection in the field (turn off validation). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DotNetDevelopment, VB.NET, C# .NET, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, XML, XML Web Services,.NET Remoting" group.
