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

Question

I encounter this problem repeatedly, and haven\'t a clue what is causing it. I get an exception in the DataBind: SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist i

Answer 1

@PMarques answer helped me out and did solve my problem.

However whilst experimenting, it clicked in my head why I was gettign the error in the first place.

I was setting the "Text" attribute thinking that it might create an encompassing label or fieldset + legend, for me (which it doesn't).

The Text property for a list is infact the SelectedValue property for a ListControl.

So my mistake in misinterpreting what the text property did.
