Hello again....

I have a a WebDropdown that has been loaded with data from a table. What are the properties that I need to use to get and restore the selected item in the WebDropdown.

    Hi,

    The selected item is automatically stored in the SelectedItem WebDropDown property. If you have EnableMultipleSelection=true, you need to use the SelectedItems collection :

    1)

    WebDropDown1.SelectedItem

    2)

    WebDropDown1.SelectedItems

    You  do not need any special code / logic to store and restore the selection across postbacks -  it is done automatically.

    In order to set an Item as selected, you can do :

    WebDropDown1.Items[0].Selected = true; //  this will mark the first item as selected 

    For single selection you can also do :

    WebDropDown1.SelectedItem = item;

    Thanks,

    Angel
