Hye all..

I am using this code to display the selecteditem of the dropdownlist from the label.text

C#

Me.ddlDefect.SelectedItem.Text = Me.lblDefect.Text

the text in the label is:

C#

Me.lblDefect.Text = "DAKON"

This is the ddlDefect items that appears in my dropdownlist:

DAKON(as the selecteditem)
ANA ARAI
DAKON
DAKON/DENTED
DAN
DAN AT ASSY PTS
DAN AT DIA. 104.8

Note that DAKON appears two times; first as the selecteditem n the other one as the dropdownlist items.

The items that I want to display is only dropdownlist items and the selecteditem is DAKON, not adding the DAKON item to the first item in dropdownlist.

How can I do that?

lblDefect.Text is DAKON and ddlDefect.SelectedValue is 194. It is impossible for the dropdownlist to display the data that is not in the list. Am I right?
