drop down

[fmardani]

Webform2 retrieves an id of a record in a table of a database.
Let's say the id = 3
webform 2 has already got a drop down list of countries populated.
Now the record with id=3 has an id for the country (countryid=10)
How can the drop down list to show the item which as id of 10?
Thanks

I am populating the country drop down first by using:
With ddlStatus
.DataSource = oDR
.DataTextField = "country"
.DataValueField = "countryID"
.DataBind()
End With

the when I get the main record id, I would like to use something like:
ddlcountry.selectedtext= "netherlad" --> which has countryid=10

ddlStatus.SelectedItem = ddlStatus.Items.FindByValue("10")

I think.
