[2005] DropDownList SelectedValue ? [resolved]

[texas]

Any idea why i'm not seeing the SelectedValue property for a DropDownList?


I'm trying to do something like this with no luck:

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" 
   DataSourceID="AccessDataSource2"
   DataTextField="CategoryName" 
   DataValueField="CategoryID" 
   SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CategoryID") %>' />

the data types in my tables didn't match... this was causing me to get the following error:


SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items
