dotnet general: How do I set the current value in a DropDownList? I populate the DDL and
then I want to position it to the current value.

BillG,

Or do you mean just setting the selectedindex.

By the way, using names as BillG gives mostly no answers.

I hope this helps,

BillG,

There are an endless ways to do that, depending what you want to set in it.

Therefore you should in my opinion explain that first.

I have a ddl called ClassList which has ClassCD for DataValueField and
ClassDesc for DataTextField. I populate the list and then I load the current
member into the web form and I want to select the members classcd in the ddl
to show his/her current classcd
