----------------------------------------------------------- From: BusyWizy Message 5 in Discussion You are talking the html "option list" control whereas the original discussion was pertaining to the Asp.net dropdownlist control. The dropdownlist or any other bindable control in asp.net can bind to any object that implements a Ienumerable Interface. So each item in such a control can be anything unlike an html control where each item is guaranteed to be a string. This is precisly the reason why when u say ?DropDownList1.SelectedItem in the immiediete window, u will see something like DataRowView. Which means that each item in the list is not a simple string but an actual datarow object whose one column contains the value list and another column contains the text list. At server-side, ASP.NET takes the selectedvalue (since that is the data that is posted by the form) and uses it to infer the selectedindex. Hence the disparency between the various implementations of the same control Regards, Nauzad Kapadia [MVP] > From: C l i f t o n > Message 3 in Discussion > > Well i dont think that the selectedindex is calculated using the > selectedvalue. > Have a look at the attached HTML file that proves my point. > > > ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/mumbaiusergroup/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
