How do you set the value of Drop Down User Control

[Paul D. Fox]

I'm using a User Control to display a drop-down and when I "Edit" a screen,
I want to set the Drop-Downs value to the value obtained from the Database.
Something like:

ddlUserControl.ControlID.Insert(0,drReader("EmployeeName")) which doesn't
seem to work. Help!

Why don't you just simply set the selected value:

ddlUserControl.SelectedValue = drReader("EmployeeName").ToString();

That is assuming that the value exists on the list.
