problems

**Piz Bruin** · Apr 2nd, 2001, 01:46 PM

I copied a piece of code from the aspng/quickstart website & can't get it to work.

The code is ridiculously simple but the problem lies elsewhere, but I'm not sure where.

I am running VS.Net Beta1. The server is Win2K Advanced Server, IE6 installed, MDAC 2.6, and the framework is installed.

I add a new web form to my project and paste in the code (to load a dropdownlist), but the list does not get loaded.

Anyone have any idea what the problem is? I reinstalled MDAC & the framework but that was no help.

Code:

<html>
<head>

    <script language="VB" runat="server">

        Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) 
            If Not IsPostBack Then

               Dim values as ArrayList= new ArrayList()

               values.Add ("IN")
               values.Add ("KS")
               values.Add ("MD")
               values.Add ("MI")
               values.Add ("OR")
               values.Add ("TN")

               DropDown1.DataSource = values
               DropDown1.DataBind
            End If
        End Sub

        Sub SubmitBtn_Click(sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
           Label1.Text = "You chose: " + DropDown1.SelectedItem.Text
        End Sub

    </script>

</head>
<body>

    <h3><font face="Verdana">DataBinding DropDownList</font></h3>

    <form runat=server>
    
        <asp:dropDownList id="DropDown1" runat="server" />

        <asp:button Text="Submit" OnClick="SubmitBtn_Click" runat=server/>

        <p>
        
        <asp:Label id=Label1 font-name="Verdana" font-size="10pt" runat="server" />

    </form>

</body>
</html>

I just tested your sample on my computer.
It works as it is. (of course I put it in \inetpub\wwwroot\SameFolder) and the extension is aspx.

Good luck !

I reinstalled the framework on the server AGAIN and it finally started to work.
