Why not just use a Calendar control?

BulletVictim 7-Oct-13 6:44am

On load set the selected value of the dropdownlist to System.DateTime.Now."Your selection of each dropdownlist"
But as Richard suggested, try using a calander Control, should work a lot easier and have less checks you will need to run to validate the correct date

DateTime Currdt = Convert.ToDateTime(System.DateTime.Now.ToString());

DropDownList1.Items.Insert(0, Currdt.Day.ToString());
DropDownList1.Items[0].Value = Currdt.Day.ToString();

DropDownList2.Items.Insert(0, Currdt.Month.ToString());
DropDownList2.Items[0].Value = Currdt.Month.ToString();

DropDownList3.Items.Insert(0, Currdt.Year.ToString());
DropDownList3.Items[0].Value = Currdt.year.ToString();

hello Professional

you can do that like this..

// this is for Year

C#

void fillYears()
   {
       ddlYear.Items.Clear();

       //
       for (int i = 1990; i <= DateTime.Now.Year; i++)
       {
           ddlYear.Items.Add(i.ToString());

       }
       ddlYear.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Year", "0"));
   
   }

as above you can bind with

DateTime.Now.Month

and also

DateTime.Now.Date

hope this will help you

Happy to Help!!!
