c# - ASP.NET Application - Accessing details about a drop down list's DataSource -
i have following markup:
<td> <asp:dropdownlist runat="server" id="ddlextroutebusyid" style="width: 320px;" /> </td>
and code behind executes on page load:
//bind route busy drop down list: datatable dr = /*[some datatable returned wrapper rdbms*/; this.ddlextroutebusyid.datasource = dt; this.ddlextroutebusyid.datatextfield = "description"; this.ddlextroutebusyid.datavaluefield = "id"; this.ddlextroutebusyid.databind();
i cannot seem access description , id data based upon value of selecteditem/value. example if select second list item, selectedindex 1, description might "server2" , id might 1118. how can pull description , id values?
thanks.
you can use following text , value:
ddlextroutebusyid.selecteditem.text ddlextreoutebusyid.selecteditem.value
if doesn't work there may other problem page doing, since verified these worked me.
