asp.net dropdown list findbytext

Question

I am using the following to select have the dropdown list select an item from the list:

    ddlIndustry.Items.FindByText(\"Trucking\").Selected = true;
         


        

Answer 1

Try using ClearSelection to clear previous selection:

ddlIndustry.ClearSelection();
if (ddlIndustry.Items.FindByText("Cards") != null)
    ddlIndustry.Items.FindByText("Cards").Selected = true;
