hi!
does anyone know how to set dropdownlist value in datalist?
here's my code..
in editprofile.aspx:

<asp:datalist id=mydl runat=server>
<asp:dropdownlist id=title runat=server>
<asp:listitem value="ms.">ms.</asp:listitem>
<asp:listitem value="mr.">mr.</asp:listitem>
<asp:listitem value="mrs.">mrs.</asp:listitem>
<asp:listitem value="miss">miss</asp:listitem>
</asp:dropdownlist>
</asp:datalist>

Then in my editprofile.aspx.vb Page_load sub

Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To title.Items.Count - 1
                If title.Items(i).Value = "mr." Then
                    title.SelectedIndex = i
                    Exit For
                End If
        Next

Executing this I got error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Can anyone help ple,ase.... >_<

Is this what you're looking for?

DropDownList.ClearSelection();
DropDownList.Items.FindByValue("Foo").Selected = true;
