[RESOLVED] add items in my dropdownlist???

[Chowking]

asp.net code

<aspropDownList id="infodrop" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="TestData1">TestData1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="TestData2">TestData2</asp:ListItem>
</aspropDownList>


Q: Why in my sample.aspx html dont have <asp:ListItem???

* I have a infodrop and i wanted to add an items like TestData1,TestData2 and TestData3.

Try this out, the text displayed and the value returned will be the same.

<asp: DropDownList
ID="infoDrop"
Runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Text="TestData1" />
<asp:ListItem Text="TestData2" />
<asp:ListItem Text="TestData3" />
</asp: DropDownList>

If you want a different value to be returned you have to assign your value as well:

<asp: DropDownList
ID="infoDrop"
Runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Text="TestData1" Vaule="data1" />
<asp:ListItem Text="TestData2" Value="data2"/>
<asp:ListItem Text="TestData3" VAule="data3"/>
</asp: DropDownList>

Make sure you don't just copy and paste Tinbeard's code and wonder why it's not working. 'Value' is spelled incorrectly on two of the three lines on which it appears.
