Using dropdown datavaluefield as datasource for a 2nd data control

[bic]

Hi,

I don't know what the term is but I need to have some of the data fields of
the selected value in the dropdown displayed on the page. Does it require an
AJAX control? Thanks very much.

James,

I think you can simply use SelectedItem property

For example:

Label1.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text;
