Select an item in DropDownList in code?

[Lee]

Is there more direct way of doing this?

Dim LI As ListItem = ddUpdateType.Items.FindByValue("123")
ddUpdateType.SelectedIndex = ddUpdateType.Items.IndexOf(LI)

Not counting the check to ensure that "LI" was actually instantiated,
it's ugly in an otherwise neat group of code lines.

Are you wanting to make a certain item of the drop down the "SELECTED"
item?

Dim Ll as String = "abc"
ddUpdateType.SelectedValue = Ll

Sorry if I'm way off base here....its been a long day
